Abstract :

Banana kepok is much available at any market in Indonesia. This fruit is rich of minerals and Vitamins C that very important for ourbody. Vitamin C is an organic coenzyme or ascorbat cofactor in various biochemichal response of our body which it could not beproduced by the body itself. Vitamin C is water soluble and damagable to heat affection. Currently many traders are using carbideor CaCl2 solvent to boost ripening of banana fruit. This research is experimentally and by using quantitative analysis technique tofind out the affect. This research took place on June-July 2010 at Food and Beverage Chemical Laboratory of Health AnalystPolytechnique Surabaya. The results was Vitamin C prorate contents before treatment 0,0292%, 1 gram carbide treatment 0,0222%,2 gram 0,0373%, and 3 gram 0,0203%, while soaking with CaCl2 1% was 0,0160%, 2% was 0,0112%, 3% was 0,0168%. Kruskalwallis statistic test was carried out, The conclusion is concentration (gram carbide and CaCl2) significantly affected to thepercentage of vitamin C contents of ripening banana kepok. Consequently it is recommended to avoid using CaCl2 for ripeningbanana, or using carbide of 2 grams only, or better leave it as it is ripening it self. (FMI 2013;49:97-100)
