Desain Proses Pengolahan Keripik Jamur Tiram Putih (Pleurotus ostreatus) dengan Menggunakan Vacuum Frying

Abstract

Oyster mushroom (Pleorotus ostreatus) is potential vegetable which has high nutritional value. Oyster mushroom is perishable and plenitude in rainy season therefore it needs proper processing to give added value and extend shelf life through process oyster mushroom into chips. The objectives of this research were obtaining the condition of processing oyster mushroom chips, analyzing the characteristic and taking response of some panelists toward chips. The results of the experiment were two kind of products named salty and sweet chip. The experimental design used group randomized with two factors. First factor for salty chips was concentration of salt solution (A), divided into three levels those were 0,5% (A1), 1% (A2) and 1,5% (A3). The second factor was freezing treatment before frying divided into two levels; those were with freezing (B1) and unfreezing (B2). Meanwhile, the first factor for sweet chips was sugar concentration solution (A) divided into three levels; those were 3% (A1), 5% (A2) and 7% (A3). The second factor for sweet chips was freezing treatment before frying (B) which was divided into freezing (B1) and unfreezing (B2). The experiment consist of several stages, there were characteristic of fresh oyster mushroom, determination of salt and sugar concentration through trial and error, determination of frying period through trial and error, and processing of oyster mushroom chips. The characteristic of product will be analyzed and tested by hedonic test. Based on the experiment result, process design of oyster mushroom chips by using vacuum frying is temperature 88°C and pressure 700 mmHg. There were twice times of frying during 24 hours. First frying was running for 35 minutes, while the second frying was 5 minutes. The best treatment for salty chips was soaked into 1% salt solution and froze. Whereas the best treatment for sweet chips was soaked into 7% sugar solution and froze. From the whole experiment, salty chips yield is 18,65-20,83%, 1,73-2,39% of water content, 55,31-59,81% of fat content, 14,89-17,00% of fiber content, 2,86-4,57% of ash content, 2,07-2,59% of protein, and 0,27-0,36% of FFA value. Based on organoleptic test, panelists mostly preferred chips which produced by soaking in 1% of salt concentration and freezing treatment. Sweet chips yield is 19,48-25,48%, 1,52-2,32 % of water content, 48,26-57,30% of fat content, 13,48-17,96% of fiber content, 1,55-2,27% of ash content, 1,92-2,75% of protein, and 0,30-0,41% of FFA value. Based on organoleptic test, panelists mostly preferred chips which produced by soaking in 7% of sugar concentration and freezing treatment. The best treatment for salty chips yield is 19,14%, 1,80% of water content, 59,38% of fat content, 15,56% of fiber content, 3,53% of ash content, 2,23% of protein and 0,30% of FFA value. The best treatment for sweet chips yield is 21,65%, 1,52% of water content, 54,75% of fat content, 17,96% of fiber content, 1,57% of ash content, 1,92% of protein and 0,41% of FFA value.
