Description
Summary:Start The research aimed to find out the best concentration from various vanilla essential oil concentration as an antimicrobial agent to inhibit the growth of microbial decomposition and maintain shelf-life of fresh-cut red Pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus). The experiment was designed with Completely Randomized Design using four treatments as follows: 1) vanilla essential oil 0%, 2) vanilla essential oil 0.1% 3) vanilla essential oil 0.3% and 4) vanilla essential oil 0.6%. The result indicated that vanilla essential oil 0,6% was able to inhibit fresh-cut red Pitaya's fungal decomposition. The concentration of vanilla essential oil 0,6% could maintain physical quality (weight loss and firmness), chemical (titratable acidity and total soluble solids content) and sensory analysis on fresh-cut Red Pitaya. Edible coating alginate and vanilla essential oil were able to maintain the quality of fresh-cut red Pitaya up to 9 days.
