The objective of the study was to develop and assess an edible coating from alginate and pectin that applied to sallaca ready service.The properties assess of sallaca ready-to-serve using edible coating consist of water content,total acid,vit.C,total glucosa,hardness,weight loss,TPC and browning.The chosen formulas were alginate 5%,pectin 5% and mixing between alginate and pectin.The best formula for sallaca ready-to-serve is pectin plus alginate 5% and stearic acid 0,25% it showed by the value of water activity(0,554)elongation percentage (53.33)tensile strength (122.744 kg.f) and water vapor transmition rate (484.41 g/persegi/24 hour).The physic and chemist property assays can be concluted that edible coating application with storage temperature 5 degree C could exted minimally processed salacca shelf life for 10 days.
