- PIPIT DWI WIBOWO. The Effect of Physical, Chemical, and Microbiology of Fruit Leather Manggo During Storage in Polyprophylene and Polyethylene Packaging (Supervised by GATOT PRIYANTO and HERMANTO). The Objective of this research was todetermine the effect of polyprophylene and polyethylene packaging types on the physical, chemical, and microbiological characteristics of mango fruit leather. This research was conducted in the Chemical Laboratory of Agricultural Products and General Microbiology Laboratory, Department of Agricultural Technology, Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University, Indralaya. This research was conducted in December 2018 until August 2019. The researchused Factorial Completely Randomized Design (RAL) with 2 treatment factors and each was repeated three times. The first factor is the length of storage (0 days, 10 days, 20 days and 30 days) and the second factor is the type of plastic packaging (Polyethylene and Polyprophylene), each treatment was repeated three times. The parameters observed included physical characteristics (texture, color, brownish index and specific volume), chemical characteristics (moisture content, ash content and total microbes). The results showed that the storage duration significantly affected texture, color (lightness, redness and yellowness), brownish index, specific volume, water content, ash content and total microbes. While packaging type treatment has a significant effect on color (yellowness) and ash content.
