and shelf life. This method requires the same amount
of time as the quality change, therefore, if the quality
change was long, the time used for research using this
model will also be long. The ESS method usually
used for food products that have a shelf life less than
3 months, whereas the ASLT methods was more
suitable to predict the food products that have a shelf
life more than 3 months.
There are two kind of approaches for determining
the shelf life with the ASLT method namely the
Arrhenius approach and the critical moisture content
approach. The Arrhenius approach is used for food
products that are damaged due to chemical reactions
which are influenced by temperature factors. The
critical moisture content approach is used for food
products caused by adsorption of mositure content,
usually it used in dried food products (Anandito et al,
2017). Objectives of the research were to analyze the
isothermic sorption curve of purwaceng coffee
products, to predict the self life of purwaceng coffee
in various types of packaging, and to analyze the
effect of packaging on the decline in quality of
purwaceng coffee
2 EXPERIMENTAL METHOD
2.1 Material
Robusta coffee roasted powder from a farmer in
Gunung Kelir, Semarang. The coffee which used is
robusta medium roasted. These coffee was packaged
in PP 0.05 mm of thickness. Purwaceng powder was
originated and produced by purwaceng farmer group
at Dieng, Wonosobo. This powder also packaged in
PP 0.05 of thickness. Addictive ingredient in this
product is non diary creamer and sugar. The materials
was sealed for further experiment. The materials were
keept on room temperature in the laboratory of
bioindustry, Gadjah Mada University before using.
In this study, purwaceng coffee was packaged
using 5 types of packaging. There were alumunium
foil (AF) (thickness of 0.05 mm), combination of
poliethylene - alumunium foil - paper foil (PAP)
(thickness of 0.11 mm), polipropylene (PP)
((thickness of 0.05 mm), polipropylene (PP)
((thickness of 0.03 mm), and poliethylene (PE)
(thickness of 0.03 mm).
2.2 Purwaceng Coffee Production
Purwaceng coffee production process generally
consists of 3 stages of production, namely the
manufacture of Robusta coffee powder, manufacture
of Purwaceng powder, and the mixing of ingredients.
Making robusta coffee powder using a roaster and
grinder with type roasting medium and fine grinding.
Purwaceng powder produce by drying purwaceng
plants, cleaned, and mashed using grinder to become
smooth. The following step is blend and homogenize
of robusta coffee powder, non dairy creamer,
purwaceng powder, and sugar. The mixtures were
then packaged using 5 type of packaging and kept in
room temperature for further experiment.
2.3 Quality Deterioration Testing
Quality deterioration of purwaceng coffee was tested
by 6 parameters. Those parameters were water
content, water activity (Aw), weight, pH, colour, and
DPPH antioxidant activity. Water content was
determined by thermogravimetry method, Aw was
measured by Aqualab Series 3 (USA), weight by
analitycal balance (ACIS 600i), pH by pH meter 009
(I) A (USA), colour by cromameter (Konica Minolta
FR 400), and antioxidant activity was measured by
DPPH method.
The samples were stored in incubator (Memmert
GmbH) at 30
o
C for 90
days. This assay was carried
out periodically every 15 days. Statistical test using
IBM SPSS Statistic 24 was performed for the
comprehensive test result from all of the assay. The
statistical tests used include data normality tests,
homogenity tests, and ANNOVA tests, and Kruskall
Wallis test. Statistical test was used to determine the
effect of packaging variations on the quality changes
of product packaged. A general quality deterioration
test was also used to confirm the estimated shelf life
that has been determined previously.
2.4 Determination of Purwaceng
Coffee Shelf Life
2.4.1 Initial Water Content (Mo)
Measurement
Initial water content was determined by
thermogravimetric method to evaporate the water
inside product. This experimental procedure refers to
the procedure of the Association of Official
Analytical Chemists/AOAC (Anonym, 1995). Two
grams of sample was evaporated using oven dyer at
105°C for about 6 hours, and then placed it in a
dessicator vacuum for 15 minutes before weighing
the dried samples using analytical balance. The assay
was carried out in triplicate.
