Description
Summary:increasing number of processed foods of strawberries. However the problem with strawberries is to have a short shelf life. This study aimed to determine the effect of ultraviolet-c irradiation time length and packaging on quality changing of strawberry and can determine the optimal time length of UV-C irradiation and the optimal way of packaging to strawberries quality. The study was conducted in the laboratory of horticulture, laboratory of biotechnology and laboratory of manufacturing process engineering in May until June 2012, using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) factorial, using three blocks as replications. The first factor is the length of UV-C irradiation time consisting of 4 level is 0 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes. The second factor is a way of packaging (P) consisting of 3 level is no packaged, by vacuuming the packaged, and placed in a styrofoam container and then wrapped in plastic. The results showed that the irradiation time length of UV-C has no effect on firmness, the VQR, total dissolve solid (TDS), titrated acid (TA), the content of vitamin C, color, and shelf life of strawberries but significant different on the percentage of weight shrinkage, appearance and scent of strawberries. UV-C irradiation using UV-C 15W lamps can not kill microorganisms, particularly fungi. By vacuuming the packaged, it can extend shelf life by an average of 10 days, although not significantly different from the treatment of styrofoam which lasted an average of 10 days while the not packed were only survive an average of 5 days. Based on the analysis in several variables, the vacuum packaging able to inhibit the processes of fruit ripening better than styrofoam packing (significant difference), but the variable TDS, taste, and shelf life were not significantly different.
