PENGARUH PEMBERIAN SEMEN PUTIH (WHITE PORTLAND CEMENT) DAN SUHU PENYIMPANAN DALAM MEMPERTAHANKAN KUALITAS PASCA PANEN KUBIS (BRASSICA OLERACEA L).

Enterprises maintain post-harvest quality of cabbage (Brassica oleracea L) is mostly done by agribusiness with appropriate technologies that are worthy of influence, one of the applied technology used by agribusiness is using white cement as a barrier and water absorbent media that is out of the stump sprouts were injured by cutting. This study aims to determine the effect of white cement with various concentrations and storage temperatures to maintain post-harvest quality of cabbage (Brassica oleracea L). Research compiled according to a completely randomized design with a 2 x 4 (8) eight treatments, each of which is repeated (2) two times and each repetition consists of (2) two samples, (2) the two victims and one spare. The first factor is the concentration of white cement: without cement, cement 10 g, 20 g and 30 g of cement cement. The second factor is the storage temperature: room temperature and 0 ° C temperature. Observed variables, namely: reducing sugar, vitamin C, acid tertitrasi, heavy shrinkage, degree of hardness (firmness), the extent of damage and microbial plating. Giving white cement with various concentrations of the dampening effect of damage and the rate of microbial growth. Storage at a temperature of 0 ° C only significant effect in maintaining the level of violence and hinder the pace of depreciation heavy on cabbage during storage
