Abstract

The experiment was conducted to determine the effects of storage temperature on moisture content of encapsulated Orthosiphon stamineus spray-dried powder when stored under different temperatures (10 and 25 °C) for 4 weeks of storage period. The moisture content of the samples was measured using moisture analyzer. The results showed that the moisture content of the samples increased when temperature of storage increased. However, it was noticed that the content of samples moisture not affected by method of packaging (vacuum and non-vacuum packaging) at both storage temperatures (10 and 25 °C). The moisture content increased slightly by storage time at all treatments during experimental storage period (4 weeks). Thus, to prolong the shelf-life of the encapsulated herbal products, it is suggested to keep the products at low temperature (10 °C). A higher storage temperature may change the physical characteristic of the capsule itself during storage. The permeability of the capsules may affected by the changes of the storage temperature.
