PENGGUNAAN EKSTRAK BIJI BUAH PINANG (Areca catechu L.) UNTUK MEMPERPANJANG WAKTU SIMPAN IKAN KEMBUNG (Rastrelliger catagurna) TAHUN 2013
Abstract: Seeds areca extract
(Areca catechu L.) was result of percolation of Seeds areca. Seeds areca
extract (Areca catechu L.) could be used as natural preservative. Areca seed
extract contains polyphenols which delay the growth of microbial spoilage. The
purpose of this study was to determine the ability of Areca seeds extract
(Areca catechu L.) in extending the shelf life of mackerel (Rastrelliger
catagurna). This study used quasi experiment with Pre and Post Test Design. The
object of this research was mackerel. This experiment was conducted with four
treatments: without immersion (control), immersion using areca seed extract
with a concentrations of 0,5%, 1%, 1,5%, and 2% in 1 L of water and any
treatment carried out four repetations. The average preserving time of mackarel
at concentrations 0%, which is 5 hours 45 minutes, a concentrations 0,5% which
is 7 hours 45 minutes, the concentrations of 1% 9 hours 15 minutes, the
concentrations of 1,5% which is 9 hours 37 minutes, and the concentrations 2%
that is 10 hours 37 minutes. The result of this study showed that there were
differences in durability mackerel without soaking and after soaking Areca
seeds extract. The results showed that the durability of mackerel without
soaking and soaking the fish were given seeds areca extract at different
concentrations. Mackerel using seeds areca extract 2% produces the most durable
fish, but has a bitter taste after being fried. While the mackerel using seeds
areca extract 1% had retentiontime not too long, but do not have a bitter taste
when fried, and fish without soaking faster slimy and foul smelling
