<![CDATA[Bamboo shoots are saplings of bamboo that appear at the bottom of the soil, bamboo shoots are known to have very high water content and are usually consumed as processed vegetables such as stir-fry, stuffed spring rolls, curry, and pickles. One type of bamboo shoot that grows well in Bali is the tabah bamboo shoots (Gigantochloa nigrociliataBuse-Kurz). Seeing that the water content of bamboo shoots is very high, the shelf life and usability of bamboo shoots can be increased by turning them into semi-finished products in the form of flour. Bamboo shoot flour is oneof the foodstuffs that are dry and also easy to change components. In maintaining the quality of a food ingredient, packaging has a very important role. This research was conducted to determine the right type of packaging in maintaining the quality characteristics of bamboo shoot flour. This study uses a Completely Randomized Design which consists of two factors, the first factor is the type of packaging, namely (K1): polypropylene, (K2): aluminum foil, and (K3): paper sack. The second factor is storage time, namely (H1): 10 days, (H2): 20 days, (H3): 30 days. Parameters observed were water content, water absorption, bulk density, crude fiber, whiteness degree, and sensory test. The results showed that the paper sack packaging type treatment could better maintain the quality characteristics of tabah bamboo shoots flour during storage for 30 days with a water content value of 6.73 %, the water absorption capacity of 10.83 %, bulk density of 0.6445 g/ml, crude fiber. 27.16%, and whiteness degree of 49.47%. By using paper sack packaging, it will better maintain the quality characteristic of bamboo shoot flour during storage so that it does not get damaged quickly.]]>
