WHO states that degenerative diseases have caused the deaths of nearly 17 million people worldwide, making degenerative diseases the biggest killer in the world. The effort to prevent this dangerous disease is by consuming foods that contain antioxidants. Antioxidants are compounds that can inhibit or prevent the oxidation process of other compounds which produce free radicals that can damage cells. One of the compounds contained in antioxidants is beta carotene.
Beta carotene can be obtained from fruit such as pumpkin. sadly beta carotene Chemically, it has low solubility in water, is sensitive to heat, light and oxygen, making it difficult to use directly in food.
The team consisting of Dela Dafista, Tiara Diva Octavia, Putri Selvia Nurfebriana, Dafa Rafiul and Tri Mey Wulansari were guided by Dr. Abdul Manab, S.Pt., Mp from Brawijaya University (UB) uses compounds beta carotene summer squash. Used to inhibit the rate of oxidation which can be used indirectly in food, namely by utilizing it beta carotene as an additive in food packaging for easily oxidized foods such as cheese slice.
Cheese slice is cheese in the form of sheets which is usually added to food or eaten directly. Because of its thin shape, it makes cheese slice easily oxidized and damaged. Additional control methods are needed to inactivate pathogens on surfaces cheese slice after easy packaging stages such as packaging or coating with antimicrobial materials which is a more effective solution for controlling microbial contamination of the cheese surface, compared to adding preservatives to food. Addition beta carotene pumpkin on coating cheese slice It is hoped that it can suppress microbial growth and oxidation on the surface cheese slice and increase its shelf life. In this research the researcher initiated smart active coating which will be an indicator of a decline in quality cheese slicecolor pigment beta carotene changes under oxidizing agents (from orange to light yellow) which indicates a color change as a factor for determining the expiration time of the packaged product.
