Abstract

Abstract Flavor shrimp paste product is a type of shrimp by-product flavoring as a way to increase the economic value of shrimp by-products. The food industry requires development in determining the type of product packaging. This study aims to determine the effect of different types of plastic packaging on product quality flavor shrimp paste. The treatment used is the type of product plastic packaging flavor High-Density Polyethylene (P1), Polyethylene Terephthalate (P2), and Polypropylene (P3) shrimp paste which were stored for 6 days. The main parameters in this study consisted of the total plate count (TPC) test and the hedonic test (appearance, taste, aroma, and texture), while the supporting parameters in this study were the proximate test (protein content, fat content, and water content). Based on the research showed that flavor shrimp paste product with different types of packaging gave a significant difference (p<0.05) to the TPC test, hedonic test, and proximate test flavor shrimp products. Treatment of HDPE plastic packaging is the best type of plastic packaging for quality flavor shrimp paste product.
