Cilok and siomay are popular snacks for primary to high school students. However, there have been many findings on the addition of harmful additives in these snacks. The aim of this study was identify borax on cilok and siomay qualitatively and quantitatively. The research was conducted using a survey method with a purposive sample. A total of 6 samples of cilok and 8 samples of siomay were obtained from merchants in various schools in Subang district. The detection of borax was carried out by qualitative tests (turmeric paper test, AgNO3 solution test, decay test), quantitative test (titration), texture analysis and color analysis. Based on turmeric paper and AgNO3 solution test, all samples showed positive results. Based on decay test, the cilok and siomay samples could only be stored at room temperature (28°C) for 24 hours. Titration analysis showed that the range of borax content in cilok 0.0907 to 0.5393 % and in siomay from 0.2906 to 1.0550 %. Based on the texture and color analysis, it was found that there was a change in the texture and color of the sample during storage.
Fishballpackaged in retort pouch can be an alternative toinstant product from fish. This research was intended to evaluate the effect of different sterilization times on the quality properties and sensory acceptance of fish ball from mackerel fish (Rastrelliger kanagurta) packaged in retort pouch. The result showed that fishballcan be sterilized at 121 °C for 10 min. Longer sterilization time produces a lower colour quality of the sterilized fish ball product. The texture of fishball can be preserved after 10 min sterilization at 121 °C. The fishball product is still acceptable sensorially after being sterilized at 10 min sterilization at 121 °C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
