Abstract :
Stroberi merupakan tanaman buah-buahan yang mempunyai nilai ekonomi tinggi tapi sangat
mudah rusak, untuk menanganinya stroberi diolah menjadi puree stroberi. Namun dalam pengolahannya
terdapat endapan pada wadah, untuk mengatasi kondisi tersebut digunakan bahan penstabil Na CMC (Sodium
Carboxymethyl cellulose). Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh dan perlakuan terbaik konsentrasi
Na CMC terhadap sifat fisik, kimia, dan organoleptik puree stroberi. Penelitian dilakukan menggunakan
Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 6 perlakuan konsentrasi Na CMC yaitu 0, 0.20, 0.40, 0.60, 0.80, dan
1.0% b.v-1
. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan Na CMC berpengaruh nyata terhadap viskositas,
total padatan terlarut, vitamin C, pH, keasaman, dan kekentalan (mutu hedonik), serta tidak berpengaruh nyata
terhadap warna (L*, a*, b*, oHue), warna (mutu hedonik), rasa (mutu hedonik), dan hedonik pada puree
stroberi. Perlakuan terbaik penambahan Na CMC pada puree stroberi adalah konsentrasi 0,2% b.v-1 yang
dengan viskositas 2.325 m.Pa.s, total padatan terlarut 7,8 oBrix, analisa warna L*43,2, a* 13,9, b* 20,8, oHue
56,18 dengan deskripsi warna Yellow Red (YR), kandungan vitamin C 119,68 mg/100 mL, pH 2,82, keasaman
0,30 g asam/100 mL, secara organoleptik memiliki warna merah (4,28), tingkat kekentalannya encer (2,40),
memiliki rasa asam (4,20), dan nilai hedonik panelis suka (3,96).

Strawberries are fruit that have high economic value but are very easily damaged. To handle
this, strawberries are processed into strawberry puree. However, in the processing there is sediment on the
container, to overcome this condition a stabilizer Na CMC (Sodium Carboxymethyl cellulose) is used. The
purpose of this study was to determine the effect and best treatment of CMC Na concentration on the physical,
chemical and organoleptic properties of strawberry puree. The study was conducted using a completely
randomized design (CRD) with 6 concentrations of Na CMC, namely 0, 0.20, 0.40, 0.60, 0.80, and 1.0% b.v-1.
The results showed that the addition of Na CMC had a significant effect on viscosity, total dissolved solids,
vitamin C, pH, acidity, and viscosity (hedonic quality), and had no significant effect on color (L*, a*, b*, oHue),
color (hedonic quality), taste (hedonic quality), and hedonic in strawberry puree. The best treatment for adding
Na CMC to strawberry puree was a concentration of 0.2% b.v-1 with a viscosity of 2.325 m.Pa.s, total dissolved
solids 7.8 oBrix, color analysis L*43.2, a* 13.9, b * 20.8, oHue 56.18 with a description of the color Yellow
Red (YR), vitamin C content 119.68 mg/100 mL, pH 2.82, acidity 0.30 g acid/100 mL, organoleptically has a
red color ( 4.28), the level of viscosity is runny (2.40), has a sour taste (4.20), and the hedonic value of the
panelists likes (3.96).
