Sifat fisik, kimia dan organoleptik telur asin melalui penggaraman dengan tekanan dan konsentrasi garam yang berbeda

Abstract

Salted eggs was preserved food product made by soaking eggs in the salt solution. Salted eggs are made from duck eggs because they attain more desirable characteristics, such as orange color and grittiness than salted chicken yolk. A higher different pressure between outside and inside the eggs resulted in higher penetration rate of salt into the eggs. The research was conducted to know the concentration of salt and level of pressure to maked salted eggs based on physic characteristic, chemical characteristic and organoleptic. The treatment was divided into three different level of pressure gived, that is 0, 1.5 and 3 bar and two different salt concentration used 1:4 and 1:5. Data obtained for physic and chemical characteristic was analysed with the descriptive analysis, because passed the assumption test. Data for hedonic test, was analysed used Kruskal-Wallis. The results showed that salted eggs with salt concentration 1:4 and level of pressure on 3 bar gived the highest NaCl content and grittiness. Pressure on 0 bar and salt concentration 1:5 gived the lowest NaCl content and grittiness. Moisture content of egg white and yolk fiom salted eggs for all treatment showed that the result much the same, that is 85.03-86.56% on egg white and 30.97-33.24% on yolk. The hedonic test, honest that the treatments was significant on salty taste of egg white (P<0.05).
