Abstract

Trimmed Young Coconut (TYC) is one of the most Indonesia’s favourite tropical fruit. High demand of TYC brings to the development of TYC preservation in Indonesia. However, postharvest handling that have not been optimally operated impede the development of TYC agroindustry due to its damage. In addition, it can cause problems in the form of quality degradation such as the appearance of mold, decay, shell cracking, and browning of TYC. The solution to prevent damage and extend the shelf life of trimmed young coconut (TYC) is by applying sodium metabisulfite (SMS) and citric acid (CA). In this study of sodium metabisulfite (SMS) and citric acid (CA) with identical concentrations of 2% was carried out to keep the TYC quality for a long-term storage. This study used 15 TYCs produced by coconut local farmers. Then, the TYC were kept at cold temperature of 15  ±  0.5 °C. Physiological changes parameters such as carbon dioxide (CO2) production, color changes, texture, shell color, brix, and acidity were analyzed everyday for 7 days of storage. Statistical analysis was implemented to test the SMS and CA effect on TYC for each parameter. This study has a conclusion that TYC with Sodium Metabisulfite 2% 15 min treatment of antibrowning solution gives the best results.
