Susi Masyrifah. B.1210368. Physicochemical Characteristics of Campolay Seed
Flour (Pouteria campechiana (Kunth) Baehni). Supervised by Lia Amalia and
Tiana Fitrillia.
Campolay seeds are part of the residues of campolay fruit. Campolay seeds
can be used as a source of food such as flour to be processed into various foods.
This research was conducted to determine the physical and chemical properties of
campolay seed flour. Campolay seed flour are made into flour with two
treatments, they are treatment without heating and treatment with heating (hot
water blanching method). The analysis consisted of chemical properties analysis
and physical properties analysis, then Paired T-test analysis at a significance level
of 5% was carried out. The results of this study showed that the heating treatment
affected the physical properties of campolay seed flour, they are starch
gelatinization profile (RVA) and morphological properties of starch (SEM and
polarized light microscope). The starch gelatinization profile is carried out to
provide a simulation of the food processing process. SEM and polarized light
microscope showed starch granule structure has changed because of heating
treatment. The results of Paired T-test showed that the heating treatment has an
effect on the physical properties and several of chemical properties, they are yield
(37.47% and 41.6%) white degrees (91.08 and 80.61), (8.59% and 9.77%), ash
(2.15% and 1.99%), protein (10.30% and 9.92%), amylose (23.99% and 24.79%),
and amylopectin (32.89% and 31.93%), in other hand the heating treatment had
no effect on the other chemical properties, they are fat (5.73% and 6.73%),
carbohydrate (73.24% and 71.589%), and starch (56.88% and 56.71%).
