Abstract

The utilization of milkfish for fish floss production is potential because it is preferable by consumers and has a fairly good shelf life. One of the critical points during fish floss storage is its packaging method. This study aimed to determine the chemical and sensory changes of fish floss by using different packaging methods until 28 days. The milkfish floss produced was preserved using vacuum and non-vacuum packaging, and their quality changes were observed during room temperature including proximate test, Total Plate Numbers Test (ALT), sensory test, pH test, and shelf life test. Based on the sensory evaluation testing, the fish floss quality could be maintained until 28 days using the vacuum packaging whereas it was on for 21 days using the non-vacuum packaging, and the pH test results range from 5.50 ± 0.00 – 5.90 ± 0.00. However, according to the proximate, Total Plate Numbers Test (ALT), and sensory tests, in general, both the fish floss samples have met the requirements by the National Standardization Agency.
