Kinetics of Changes in the Quality Parameters of Fresh Snake Fruit ( Salacca edulis Rainw ) During Storage

Abstract

The effects of storage at different room RH-themperature treatment and packaging method conditions on Snake Fruit (Salacca Edulis cv. 'Pondoh') quality parameters, such as moisture content, brix (%), and fruits stress, were investigated. Packaging and storage method had impact significantly on the quality parameters of snake fruit. Significant alterations in snake fruit moisture content, brix (%) and fruit stress were observed. The Arrhenius equation could described the effect of packaging and storage method, especially on moisture content. These result represent a good predictive tool for snake fruit moisture content during storage.
