KARAKTERISTIK EDIBLE FILM DENGAN PERBEDAAN KONSENTRASI PATI TALAS BENENG ( Xanthosoma undipes K. Koch) DAN KITOSAN
Edible film is a thin layer made of edible material and is used as a surface coating for food components. Packaging materials made of plastic have caused quite serious problems. Taro beneng tubers derived from Lahat have the potential as an ingredient in making edible films because of the starch content in them. The quality of edible film is influenced by the concentration of starch and chitosan as constituent components in the manufacture of edible film. This study aimed to determine the effect of differences in the concentration of beneng taro starch (Xanthosoma undipes K. Koch) and chitosan on the physical and chemical characteristics of edible film. This study used a Factorial Complete Randomized Design with two treatment factors, namely the concentration of beneng taro starch (Xanthosoma undipes K. Koch) (7%, 8%, and 9%) and the concentration of chitosan (0,5%; 1%; and 1,5%). The results showed that the concentration of beneng taro starch had a significant effect on the percent value of elongation, thickness, compressive strength, white degree, and WVTR (Water Vapour Transmission Rate) of edible film, while chitosan concentration had a significant effect on the percent value of elongation, thickness, compressive strength, white degree, and WVTR (Water Vapour Transmission Rate) of edible film. Furthermore, the interaction between the two treatment factors had significant effect on the percent value of elongation and the thickness of edible film. The best treatment was edible film with a concentration of beneng taro starch of 7% and a chitosan concentration of 0.5%.
