Abstract

Zanthoxylum acanthopodium, locally known as Andaliman, is exotic spices which grown in North Sumatera. Several investigation shown that the special taste and aroma comes from pericarp of Andaliman. However, the pericarp of Andaliman is easily degraded. The proper postharvest handling of Andaliman is necessary to preserve fresh Andaliman for long time. Previously, Andaliman has been preserved in packaging under room temperature storage. Further investigation of Andaliman preservation in packaging under low temperature storage would help reduces the postharvest losses. In this study, the physical changes of Andaliman in various packaging under low-temperature storage were observed. The results shown that within 2 days, the pericarp of Andaliman in paper packaging was shrunk, similarly found in control without packaging. Meanwhile, the pericarp of Andaliman in aluminum foil and PP plastic were found normal in day 3. This result indicated that in low-temperature, Andaliman in Aluminum foil was recommended for best postharvest handling.

Abstract

Maize is one of important comodities contributed as food consumption and other bioproducts to the world. As high demand of maize in global must be followed its avalaibility in markets. Decline the post-harvest losses along maize distribution will not only keep the avalaibility in markets, but also solve the food security. One of post-harvest losses causes is pest, especially in maize storage. The temperature treatment to control S.zeamais, a major insect found in maize storage, becomes potential action in order to reduces the post-harvest losses. The aim of this study was to investigate the S.zeamais mortality rate and physical changes of maize kernel under low temperature condition. The S.zeamais was cultured within 4 months before used for experiments. The 2 different low temperature conditions and 1 control treatment were used in this study. The results showed that the temperature of maize kernel was changed, indicated the movement of maize from room temperature to low temperature storage is occurred. Furthermore, the low temperature treatments, the maize moisture content was slightly changed compared to the control treatment. In addition, there is no chilling injury issue to maize kernel. However, the unknown mechanism of S.zeamais protection to the low temperature was found in the Low Temperature I treatment through the finding of hole grain. In the mortality rate, the highest mortality rate was found at Low Temperature II treatment (95.30 ±11.54%). These findings suggests that low temperature treatment could be the action for maize pest management, especially in the storage.
