Physical quality characteristics of lamb meat using Pangium edule extract at different storage times

Abstract

Abstract Pangium edule or by other names, kluwak, kluwek, picung, or kepayang are traditional spices used for cooking. Pangium edule (kluwak) contains antimicrobial compounds, flavonoids, antioxidants, and tannins that function as anti-bacteria so that it inhibits bacterial pathogens that cause a decrease in the quality of meat. This study aims to determine the effect of Pangium edule extract at different storage times on the quality of lamb meat. The method used in this study was a Factorial Complete Randomized Design with three replications. The material used was Pangium edule (kluwak) and lamb meat soaked at the level of Pangium edule extract 0%, 3%, 6% 9%, then stored for 12, 24, and 36 hours at room temperature 27˚C to 30˚C. Parameters in this study are pH, cooking loss, and water holding capacity. The results of this study showed that the level of Pangium edule extract and storage time had a significant effect on pH, Cooking loss and water holding capacity (P<0.05. In conclusion, the extraction of Pangium edule level 3% to 9% effectively maintains the quality of meat during storage for up to 36 hours.
