Pengaruh Pelapis Bionanokomposit terhadap Mutu Mangga Terolah Minimal
Abstract: Minimally-processed
mango is a perishable product due to high respiration and transpiration and microbial
decay. Edible coating is one of the alternative methods to maintain the quality
of minimally - processed mango. The objective of this study was to evaluate the
effects of bionanocomposite edible coating from tapioca and ZnO nanoparticles
(NP-ZnO) on quality of minimally - processed mango cv. Arumanis, stored for 12
days at 8°C. The combination of tapioca and NP-ZnO (0, 1, 2% by weight of
tapioca) were used to coat minimally processed mango. The result showed that
application of bionanocomposite edible coatings were able to maintain the
quality of minimally-processed mango during the storage periods. The
bionanocomposite from tapioca + NP-ZnO (2% by weight of tapioca) was the most
effective in reducing weight loss, firmness, browning index, total acidity,
total soluble solids ,respiration, and microbial counts. Thus, the use of
bionanocomposite edible coating might provide an alternative method to maintain
storage quality of minimally-processed mango.
