PAMELA V. ESCAREZ. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 1999. EFFECT OF DIFFERENT PACKAGING MATERIALS ON QUALITY AND SHELF LIFE OF KALAMAY BUNA. ADVISER: Mrs. Fe N. Dimero
The study was conducted to determine the shelf life of kalamay Buna using different packaging materials, and storage temperature based on the sensory properties. Microbial load of the samples on storage was also monitored.
Samples were packed in four types of packaging materials, ordinary plastic, polyethylene, aluminum foil and styrofoam and were subjected to three storage temperatures, 22°C, 27°C and 32°C.
Results of the sensory evaluation indicated moderately perceptible flavor up to 10th day of storage period, at 22°C, 27°C and 32°C storage temperatures. Low rancidity incidence was observed at 22°C, 27°C and 32°C in plastic packaging. No significant differences were observed among samples based on the general acceptability.
Thirty-four percent of the respondents chose the samples packed in styrofoam with cling wrap because of the nice presentation of the packed samples.
Moisture accumulation was lowest with aluminum foil and highest with styrofoam packaging.
With regards to microbial content, it was found that samples packed in styrofoam with cling wrap contained the highest microbial load.
The styrofoam-packed samples had the highest production cost among the four treatments.
