Variasi Waktu Ekstraksi Terhadap Kualitas Pektin Tandan Pisang Kepok
ABSTRACT
Kepok banana bunch is a waste of banana plant that contains various chemical compounds with great potential, yet its utilization has not been fully optimized. Kepok banana bunch can be utilized as raw material for high value-added products such as pectin. Pectin is an additive component that is widely used in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries due to its ability to form gels. Pectin is obtained through an extraction process to separate the pectin components from plant tissue and can be influenced by various factors, one of which is extraction time. The extraction time will determine the characteristics of the pectin produced. This study aimed to determine the best extraction time for the quality of pectin from kepok banana bunch according to the quality standards of the International Pectin Producers Association (IPPA). The study was conducted experimentally using a complete randomized design (CRD) consisting of five treatments and three replications so that 15 experimental units were obtained. The treatments in this study were extraction time of P1 (40 minutes), P2 (60 minutes), P3 (80 minutes), P4 (100 minutes), and P5 (120 minutes). The data obtained were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by duncan's multiple range test (DMRT) at 5% to determine the difference in each treatment. The results showed that extraction time significantly affected the yield, moisture content, ash content, equivalent weight, and methoxyl content. The best treatment in this study was the P3 treatment (extraction time 80 minutes) which produced a yield of 7.30%, moisture content 11.02%, ash content 8.09%, equivalent weight 667.90 mg, and methoxyl content 7.89%.
