APLIKASI KITOSAN UNTUK MEMPERPANJANG MASA SIMPAN CABAI RAWIT HIJAU (Capsicum frutescens L)
The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of coating cayenne pepper with chitosan on the physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristics of green cayenne pepper. This research was conducted from June to July 2022 at the Chemical, Sensory and Agricultural Product Processing Laboratory, Department of Agricultural Technology, Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University. The research used a Non-Factorial Randomized Block Design (RAKNF) with one treatment factor and repeated three times. Treatment factors include the concentration of chitosan (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%). Parameters observed included physical characteristics (weight loss, texture and color), chemical (moisture content) and organoleptic properties (color, freshness, appearance, and texture). The results showed that at the beginning of storage the parameters of weight loss, moisture content, lightness (L*), greenness (a*), yellowness (b*), texture and organoleptic tests which included color, freshness, appearance, and hardness had no significant effect on Cayenne pepper. Meanwhile, after storage for 14 days, the parameters of weight loss, texture, water content, greennes value (-a*) and organoleptic tests, namely color, freshness, appearance, and hardness had a significant effect and color parameters lightness (L*) and greenness (-a *) had no significant effect on cayenne pepper. The best treatment of chitosan coating on cayenne pepper after storage for 14 days was parametric, namely treatment A4 (2% chitosan) with an average weight loss value of 57.72%, texture 63.93 gf, color lightness (L*) 39 .32, greenness (-a*) -17.64, yellowness 24.64, and water content of 67.89%. While the best non-parametric treatment was treatment A3 (1.5% chitosan) with the panelists' preference score for color (4.72), freshness (2.64), appearance (2.32), and hardness (2.52).
