EFFECT OF STORAGE CONDITION TO THE STABILITY OF FOOD ADDITIVES (PT. GLOBAL VITA NUTRITECH)

---

"he demand for food additives has increased in the food industry as it enhances the flavor, texture,
nutritional value, and appearance of the products, especially food and beverages. PT. Global Vita
Nutritech, a company that produced premixes in Indonesia specializing in vitamins, minerals, and
other functional ingredients premix for several products. The author has done several projects, such
as analyzing raw materials alternatives, zinc dilution, determining the specification for non-vitamin
premix, and the stability testing of food additives. One of the products, item compile (IC), repacks the
food additives in each bag and it may have different shelf life compared to the original unopened
packaging. The stability of an open pack of food additives utilized for the IC items have not been
determined by the company. Several environmental factors also could affect the degradation of the
products. Therefore, the project is aimed to analyze the effect of storage conditions on the stability of
food additives. The food additives were analyzed in different storage conditions of cold and room
temperature for one year, with three months of data reported in this report; with an analysis once in
each month and only once in three months for isomaltulose. From the experiment, different storage
conditions showed an increase in the moisture content of vitamin D3 up to 6.18±0.3 and 7.43±0.1% in
CT and RT; while a fluctuation in the assay of vitamin D3 also reported. From the experiment, the
vitamin, sweeteners, fiber, anti coagulant, and colorant group still showed a good stability during the
three months of storage. However, the isolated soy protein (ISP) and premix item showed an over and
under specification, which further analysis must be carried out.
