Abstract
Exploitation of mangrove forest products still lacks consent, it is indispensable to apply appropriate technology for the sustainable use of mangrove forest products to improve the income of coastal communities, without damaging to the mangrove forest. This study aims to investigate the fruit nutrient content, hedonic test, and processed product of pidada (Sonneratia caseolaris) along with examining the storage period of pidada syrup. The nutritional content and the storage period of the product for seven months were performed using proximate analysis and organoleptic test. Results showed that nutritional content in pidada fruit decreased levels of vitamin C, protein, total acid compare with pidada syrup, while total sugar and total dissolved solids rather enhanced than processed syrup product. The nutritional content of pidada fruit and syrup is favourable to improve the quality and the selling value of the mangrove processed products. The present study suggested that processing affected the nutrients content and the storage time of the product. The process of processing affects the nutrients contained in the food, and also affects the storage life of the product.
