Abstract

Strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa var. Mencir) are sub-tropical herbaceous fruits that are in great demand by the world community and have promising business opportunities, including perishable commodities, which are quickly damaged so they have a short shelf life. Therefore, it is necessary to use post-harvest handling technology, which is processed into freeze-dried strawberries. However, an improper process can cause several losses, such as a decrease in shape, appearance, and quality properties. Changes in product characteristics that may occur can affect consumer responses to freeze-dried strawberry products. The study aimed to determine the sensory characterization of freeze-dried strawberry products. Three samples were used, namely formulation, local, and imported. Data was collected by sensory testing on the attributes of shape, color, aroma, taste, texture, and overall using untrained panelists from 60 students who live in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Sensory test data were processed statistically using the normality test, followed by the Kruskal-Wallis test because the assumption of normality was not met. Based on the sensory test, the sample with the highest level of preference for the attributes of shape, color, and aroma was the formulation sample. Meanwhile, the attributes of taste, texture, and overall are imported samples. From the results of the sensory and physical tests that have been carried out, it is known that the panelists like freeze-dried strawberries which have the shape, color, and aroma like fresh strawberries, sweet taste, and crunchy texture.
