Abstract

This research was aimed to determinethe effect of Low-density polyethylene as packaging material for the quality of parsley (Petroselinum crispum L.) during cold room. Additionally, this study was to determinethe thickness of the low-density polyethyleneplastic which can retain the grade of parsley for a longer time. The design experiment used in this study was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) method using one treatment factor, namely the treatment of low-density polyethylene plastic thickness (LDPE)with a thickness of 0.02 mm; 0.03 mm; 0.04 mm; 0.05 mm; and a thickness of 0.06 mm. This research was replicated3 times in order to obtain 18 units of experimental results. The parameters observed include: weight loss, characteristics, color test, damagerate and respiration rate. The results of this research signified that the thickness of low-density plastic (LDPE) gave a very significant effect on characteristics, color test, damage rate, respiration rate and weight loss. The best handling was obtainedby use of LDPE plastic with a thickness of 0.05 mm with a weight loss of 13.88%, color of 13.93, 43.81 mg CO2/kg/hour for respiration rate, characteristic scoring test value of 3.73, and 3.87 for damage level. Low-density polyethylene plastic with a thickness of 0.05 mm can retain the quality of parsley better than other thicknesses during shelf life of 12 days at 8°C ± 2°C.
