The Effect of Packaging Material and Oil Types on Moisture Content of Extruded Puff during Storage
The author was doing an internship at PT. Alamii Natura Sejahtera as a research and development intern for 6 months starting from July 2023 – January 2024. The author has several responsibilities including doing research for both optimizing existing product production processes as well as new product development. Additionally, the author also helps the team with the document-making for BPOM-related activities. Besides the daily activity, the author also did a project titled “The Effect of Packaging Material and Oil Types on Moisture Content of Extruded Puff during Storage” as one of the approaches to process optimization. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of different packaging materials and oil types on the moisture content of extruded puffs during the storage period. The result shows that the aluminum had a significant difference in moisture compared to MPET after 3 months of storage. Meanwhile, sunflower and canola oil had no statistical difference in moisture content. Additionally, the storage duration also shows an insignificant difference in moisture content. However, there is a limitation of time during the study thusit issuggested for an extended observation period in future research to comprehensively assess moisture content variations over time.
