<![CDATA[Sari Mangga arumanis merupakan salah satu komoditi mangga unggulan di daerah Majalengka, Jawa Barat. Para pedagang pada umumnya memasarkan buah mangga menggunakan keranjang anyaman bambu terutama dengan tujuan agar konsumen lebih mudah membawanya. Selain itu, harga keranjang anyaman bambu juga murah, sehingga kemasan keranjang anyaman bambu banyak digunakan petani buah mangga. Selama penyimpanan, buah mangga mengalami perubahan komposisi kimia dan juga fisik. Perubahan tersebut mencakup nilai kekerasan buah, total padatan terlarut (TPT), dan susut bobot buah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui perubahan nilai kekerasan, TPT dan susut bobot buah pada waktu simpan berbeda menggunakan keranjang anyaman bambu. Rancangan yang digunakan yaitu Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) yang terdiri dari 3 perlakukan yaitu penyimpanan 0 hari, 7 hari dan 14 hari dengan 10 ulangan. Jumlah sampel yang digunakan sebanyak 90 sampel buah mangga arumanis. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa terjadi perubahan nilai kekerasan, TPT dan susut bobot buah pada tiap perlakuan.Kata Kunci: Kekerasan buah ∙ Keranjang anyaman bambu ∙ Klimakterik ∙ Total padatan terlarut Abstract Arumanis mango is one of mango’s leading commodities in Majalengka, West Java. Fruit sellers generally marketed mango fruit using bamboo wicker baskets mainly with the aim of making it easier for consumers to carry the fruit. In addition, the price of bamboo wicker basket is also cheap, hence the packaging of bamboo wicker basket is widely used by mango fruit sellers. During storage, mangoes experience changes in chemical and physical properties. These changes include the value of fruit firmness, total dissolved solids (TDS), and weight loss. The purposes of this study were to determine changes in firmness, TDS and weight loss at different storage duration using bamboo wicker baskets. The experimental design used in this research was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 3 treatments, which are 0 day, 7 days and 14 days storage duration with 10 replications. The numbers of samples used were 90 samples of arumanis mangoes. The results of this study indicated that there were changes in the value of firmness, TDS and weight loss in each treatment.Keywords: Bamboo wicker basket ∙ Climacteric ∙ Fruit firmness ∙ Total dissolved solids]]>
