Physical properties of wheat significantly influence grain quality.The physical properties of wheat significantly influence grain quality, assessed through tests such as the Physical Wheat Analysis Test, Allowable Storage Time of Wheat, Wheat…
This study aimed to develop a lipid-based paste form of Ready-to-Use Complementary Food (RUCF) using locally available ingredients, while investigating the physicochemical changes during 21 days of storage. Three formulations were proposed and assessed using B one touch viscometer for viscosity, CS410 handheld colorimeter for color, pawkit water activity analyzer for water activity, and e…
This study observed the physicochemical and microbiological stability of plant based meatballs made from local ingredients which are vacuum packed and frozen. During frozen storage, deterioration happened gradually caused by microbial growth and physicochemical changes. Thus, the microbial content including bacteria (TPC), yeast and mold (TYMC), and physicochemical aspects including water a…
PT Kalbe Milko Indonesia combines pasteurization and retort sterilization on producing their sterilized milk product. The pasteurization process takes place at 85 ± 3°C for 30 seconds and after packing, the product is sterilized in retort machines at a temperature between 121 and 121.9 °C. Nevertheless, milk's quality is not just influenced by production processes but is also affected by oth…

The jelly will be made with hydrocolloids, like konjac and carrageenan. This research aims to evaluate how pH, color, and syneresis value during storage. The syneresis value was highest for the plain flavor, chocolate, and strawberry. The syneresis, pH, and color between day 1, 3, and 4 and within each flavor was significantly different (p
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different storage temperatures on the alteration of the color of S-tee products in PET bottles. Color changes in the product are considered crucial as it affects the consumer preferences toward the product. The observation also aimed to verify the shelf life of the product according to the expected shelf life conducted during the Accelerated Shelf L…
The susceptibility of meat to quality and safety issues has brought numerous attempts to incorporate antioxidants and antimicrobial agents into the packaging to improve the shelf stability of meat. The study aims to develop chitosan film incorporated with Piper Cubeba essential oil (PCO) into chitosan film to improve the shelf life of beef shank cuts. 2% (w/v) chitosan films with 0-3% PCO we…
