optimasi proses ekstraksi pada pembuatan karaginan dari rumput laut merah (Eucheuma cottonii) serta aplikasinya sebagai penstabil pada sirup markisa
Abstract
Carrageenan is seaweed gum derived from red seaweed polysaccharide sulfate form which has the properties of hydrocolloid so widely used in food and industrial products. The objectives of this research was to analyze and optimize the process of carrageenan from E.cottonii (variation of water ratio, KCl concentration and precipitation temperature) to shorten process time and to obtain physico-chemical characteristics and functional extracted carrageenan, determine and assess the optimal extraction process and to apply carrageenan optimal extraction process results in products of passion fruit syrup as well as assess the quality of the resulting syrup. Rendemen, viscosity, gel strength, moisture, ash, acid insoluble ash, sulphate and whiteness were used as quality parameters of carrageenan. It was found that the best carrageenan extraction process was obtained from water ratio 1:20, 1% KCl concentration and precipitation temperature of 30 oC process. The application of carrageenan on passion fruit syrup indicated that addition of carrageenan 4.4 % gave the pH, viscosity and turbidity similar to commercial syrup. Based on paired comparison test with the commercial syrup, the resulted one has better appearance, sour taste and flavor passion fruit on a commercial while for sweetness and color were less than those of the passion fruit syrup. commercial syrup.
