The effects of three storage temperatures (1, 3, and 5 1C) were determined on the quality of the edible mushroom Agrocybe chaxingu stored in modified atmosphere packages (MAP) with and without (control) silicon gum film windows. Results showed that the storage temperature had clear effects on headspace gas concentrations of O2, CO2 and ethylene, sensory characteristics, respiration rate, ascorb...

Fresh mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) were inoculated in the stem, gill, or cap with Clostridium botulinum spores. They were placed with uninoculated mushrooms in paper board trays, which were then covered and sealed in a polyvinyl chloride stretch film to simulate prepackaged mushrooms available at retail stores. When incubated at 20 C, botulinum toxin could be detected as early as day 3, or 4,...

Abstrak. Edible film adalah produk lembaran tipis yang digunakan untuk melapisi makanan berfungsi sebagai penghalang kelembaban, oksigen, karbon dioksida, aroma, dan transfer zat terlarut, serta aditif meningkatkan kualitas makanan. Kelebihan dari edible antara lain: dapat menghambat difusi oksigen uap air memasuki bahan pelapis, pembusukan mikroba keamanannya itu dikonsumsi. Faktor konsentrasi...

In recent years, antimicrobial packaging has attracted much attention from the food industry because of the increase in consumer demand for minimally processed, preservative-free products. Antimicrobial packaging can be considered an emerging technology that could have a significant impact on shelf life extension and food safety. Many classes of antimicrobial compounds have been evaluated in fi...

Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji karakteristik edible film berbahan dasar pektin kulit pisang kepok terhadap pengaruh variasi konsentrasi sorbitol. Prosedur penelitian dimulai dengan tiga tahap, pertama proses pembuatan larutan CMC, kedua film, ketiga pencetakan film. Parameter meliputi ketebalan, transmisi uap air, kuat tarik, elongasi, modulus young, FTIR spectroscopy dan tran...

Antimicrobial packaging, an active packaging concept, can be considered an extremely challenging technology that could have a significant impact on shelf-life extension and food safety of meat and meat products. Use of antimicrobial substances can control the microbial population and target specific microorganisms to provide higher safety and quality products. Many classes of antimicrobial comp...

Edible film is a packaging development for environmentally friendly food that composed of organic ingredients, so it safe consumption. Natural polymers make up edible films include polysaccharides, lipids, and proteins to replace synthetic materials. The characteristics good have properties like other plastic packaging, namely being easy shape, transparent, flexible, not easily damaged, cheap. ...

The work studied weight losses of harvested strawberries provided with protective edible coating. Coatings were produced by dipping strawberries in 50 % (w/w) starch-protein hydrolysate of Amaranth flour. Tests investigated influence of added glycerol (10 or 30 %) and dialdehyde starch (1 or 4 %) on barrier properties. A protective film was produced on the strawberries after drying 5 min. at 23...

Edible and biodegradable films have been successfully explored at experimental level, attracting interest in the food preservation and packaging technology fields. However, film technology still presents several challenges for researchers. Namely, there is a lack of systematic information on the relationship between the composition and properties of film forming solutions and the properties of ...
