PEMANFAATAN KITOSAN SEBAGAI BAHAN DASAR PEMBUATAN EDIBLE FILM DARI PATI UBI JALAR KUNING
Abstract: The purpose of this
research was to obtained the best chitosan concentration in making edible film
from sweet potato starch. This research usedCompletely Randomized Design (CRD)
with five treatments and threereplications. Data were obtained using analysis
of variance (Anova) continued byDuncan’s New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) test
at 5%. The treatments in thisresearch was K (chitosan 2%), K2 (chitosan 3%), K3
(chitosan 4%), K4 (chitosan5%) and K5 (chitosan 6%). The results of analysis of
variance showed that the used different concentration of chitosan was
significantly affected on the degreeon thickness, resistance of water,
transparency of the value, and water vaportransmission rate. The best treatment
in this research was treatment of K5(chitosan 6%) with degree of thickness 0,20
mm, resistance of water 21,77%,transparency of the value 2,12, and water vapor
transmission rate 0,02 g/m2/h.
