Description
Summary:We reported preliminary study about dried nata de coco for extend the shelf life of fruits We made nata de coco by mixing coconut water and adding Acetobacter xylinum. Nata de coco was dried and compacted with hot press. The design of nata de coco as an absorbent of water made similar to the design of silica gel. Moisture absorption test was carried out by storing dried nata de coco samples along with fruits (apple, mango, pear) in one container. Fourier Transform InfraRed Spectrometer (FTIR Alpha Platinum ATR A220) was used to check the water content in the dried nata de coco sample. The result showed that dried nata de coco succesfully to absorb water vapor.
