Abstract

The use of preservatives in food and beverages is common in the food industry to extend the shelf life of products. However, the misuse of synthetic preservatives that are not in accordance with the dosage or the use of illegal preservatives is still often found on the market. This socialization activity aims to increase the knowledge of MA Al-Ishlah Jenggawah Jember students regarding the types of preservatives, the risks of their use to health, and the ability to identify preservative content in food and beverage products. The methods used include delivering materials, object-based learning by observing product packaging labels, and interactive discussions. Evaluation was carried out through pre-test and post-test questionnaires to assess the increase in student understanding. The results showed a significant increase in participant understanding, both in terms of basic knowledge, product identification, and health impacts due to excessive consumption of preservatives. This activity shows that an interactive educational approach can increase students' awareness in choosing safer and healthier food.

Abstract

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a climacteric horticultural commodity that is highly susceptible to postharvest quality deterioration due to high respiration and transpiration rates. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) starch concentration as an edible coating material and storage duration at 25 °C on the physical and chemical quality of tomato fruit. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with a combination of breadfruit starch concentrations of 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, and 6%, and storage durations of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 days. The observed parameters included vitamin C content, weight loss, total soluble solids, texture, and pH. The results showed that breadfruit starch concentration and storage duration significantly affected vitamin C content, weight loss, and total soluble solids, but had no significant effect on texture and pH. The best treatment was obtained at a breadfruit starch concentration of 6%, which maintained the highest vitamin C content, minimized weight loss, and resulted in a lower final total soluble solids value compared with the other treatments. Breadfruit starch-based edible coating has the potential to be used as an environmentally friendly postharvest technology to maintain quality and extend the shelf life of tomato fruit.
