Abstrak: Pondoh snake fruit is a tropical commodity which rapidly damaged during storage. The rain causes of damage due to respiration and fungal infection. Chitosan can be a coating material and inhibit the growth of fungal. Plastic has a permeabilities for O2, CO2, and H₂O ansfer. The purpose of this research is to know influences of chitosan coating and plastics packaging for shelf-life and qualities of pondoh snake fruit in some maturities level (80%, 90%, hatch) during storage. There are three steps of the methods, that was preparation chitosan coating Chitosan:acetic acid 1%) (b/v) 0.3:100; 0.5:100; 0.7:100, spray chitosan coating, and type of packaging material i.e. polypropyhlene without holes, polypropyhlene holes, polyetyhlene without oles, polyetyhlene holes and no packaging) then storage at temperature 16°C. The results howed that 80% maturity of pondoh snake fruit which coated by chitosan 0.5:100 chitosan:acetic acid 1%) (b/v) and packaged by polypropylene without holes have shelf-life until days, 90% maturity of pondoh snake fruit which coated by chitosan 0.7:100 (chitosan:acetic id 1%) (b/v) and packaged by polypropylene without holes have shelf-life until 12 days, batch maturity of pondoh snake fruit which coated by chitosan 0.5:100 (chitosan:acetic acid 1%) (b/v) and packaged by polypropylene without holes have shelf-life until 12 days. Pondoh snake fruit without treatment in room temperature was damaged until 100% in 6 days of storage. Qualities of pondoh snake fruit was decrease as storage in level of damage, weight loss, vitamin C, total acid, otal soluble solids, and organoleptic.

Abstrak: During the storage, performance of snake fruit will be spoiled quickly. Due to enzimatic reaction, chemical reaction, and microorganism activity. The purpose of this research was to determine the shelf life of snake fruit with chitosan coating packed in PP and PE bag. Snake fruit was cleaned and sprayed with 0.7% Chitosan water solution. Water used in this research was distilled water, bottled drinking water and tap water. Coated snake fruit the was packed in PP and PE bag in normal and vacuum condition. Once packed, snake fruit was stored at 16-17°C then it was analysed in every of 2-5 days. The parameters observed was Vitamin C, total acid, percentage of weights loss, total dissolved solid, and panels preference. snake fruit that coated with chitosan distilled water packed in PP bag gave the longest shelf life ie. 31 days, performance of snake fruit with best treatment was vitamin C of 1.37 mg/100g, total acid content of 0.003%, the percentage of weights loss of 0.01%, TSS of 14 °brix and the percentage of spoiled of 43% and by panels preference test samples are preferred PPTB (PP bag normal with bottled drinking water solution).

Abstrak: Gravitational field equation can be formulated in differential forms (differential geometry), which describes gravity as a manifestation of the curvature of space-time. Curvature of space-time is characterized by a metric that satisfies the gravitational field equation. With differential forms it can be formulated the (anti-) self-dual Einstein equation, which is a modification of the Cartan structure in (anti-) self-dual basis. Calculation of (anti-) self-dual metric with (anti-) self-dual Einstein equation is simpler than the calculation using Christoffel symbols.
