Abstract

As a tropical country with relatively high humidity and temperature, Indonesia is struggling with aflatoxin which frequently contaminates peanut. Aflatoxin is a carcinogenic toxic substance that could cause liver cancer. Due to the increasing concern on food safety, the Indonesian Drugs and Foods Agency specifies the maximum aflatoxin allowed in peanut as much as 20 ppb. However, researches showed that aflatoxin contamination in peanut in Indonesia is much higher than the threshold. The study was carried out to observe the effect of using postharvest machineries and packaging  treatments on aflatoxin contamination in peanut. Reduction of postharvest processes was conducted by using series of machineries, e.g. thresher, dryer, and sheller. Packaging treatments, e.g. vacuum plastic pack, hermetic glass chamber, and polyethylene (PE) plastic wrap were carried out during storage at ambient temperature (25-27°C). The results showed that using machineries in postharvest handling produced peanut free from aflatoxin contamination. However, without effective packaging, the aflatoxin level would increase during storage. Hermetic packaging could protect peanut from the mold as indicated by low level of aflatoxin contamination.

Abstract

Soursop fruit is one of the horticultural products that are easily damaged after the maturation process. This fruit is generally consumed in the form of fresh ripe or juice. The quality of the fruit is also very diverse and at harvest time the amount is abundant so the selling price tend to be low. One alternative to increase the added value of soursop fruit which the quality is poor and to extend the shelf life can be done through processing into juice. This study aims to test the performance of continuous type pasteurizer unit which has been developed by the Indonesian Center for Agricultural Engineering research and Development (ICAERD) in the processing of soursop juice on a small scale industry. The pasteurizer unit consists of a mixer, pasturizer, holder, filler, and cup sealer. The process of soursop juice processing includes fruit bunching, skin peeling, burial, mixing and dilution of slurry, fruit juice pasturization, and packaging. The pasteurization process was done at 80 ºC for 5-10 minutes. The pasteurization temperature is achieved at pavor pressure on water heating tube of about 1.0-1,5 bar. Under these conditions the capacity of continuous type pasteurizer unit was 160 l/h. The resulting juice has a TPC content on days 0, 7, and 14 after storage was 4.8 x 102, 5.1 x 102, and 1.9 x 103 cfu/g, respectively. The heavy metal content of Cu and Pb were 0.63 and 0.29 ppm, respectively.Keywords: performance test, pasteurizer, continuous type, soursop juice processing, value added product.
