Judul: Pengaruh Perlakuan Pengemasan Belimbing (Averrhoa carambola L) dengan Penggunaan Bahan Pengisi terhadap Mutu Fisik Belimbing Selama Transportasi
Abstrak: Packaging starfruit (Averrhoa carambola L) becomes a critical factor in maintaining the physical quality of fruit due to vibration during transportation. The objective of this research was to asses the endurance of physical quality parameters of its fruit, such as mechanical damage, hardness, weight losses, and total solid soluble. The first treatment is used sliced filler paper, wood shavings, and sawdust for the filler material in the packs. The second treatment is arranged the starfruit position in packaging by using 2 different methods, namely, vertical and horizontal methods. The result has shown the starfruit which arranged horizontally and packaged with the sliced filler paper is the suitable treatment for packaging. After transportation simulation, the treatment showed 2% of mechanical damage, 0.555 Kgf of hardness and 7% obrix of total solid soluble. At the 8th day, showed 86% of mechanical damage, 0.426 Kgf of hardness, 3.76% of weight lose and 8.3% obrix of total solid soluble. The horizontal position of packaging can reduce the vibration better than the vertical one.

Judul: Rancangan Kemasan Karton Bergelombang Double Flute untuk Transportasi Buah Belimbing (Averrhoa Carambola L) Varietas Dewi
Abstrak: Star fruit packaging commonly use fruit basket during transportation and stacked usually, whereas it could make mechanical damages to star fruit, like bruised, scratch, and broke on star fruit because it has soft texture. Therefore it needs more special treatment after harvest to reduce the damage during transportation and distribution. The purpose of this research is design a packaging for transportation and distribution on star fruit which the main material are star fruit and corrugated double flute. The steps of this research are designing packaging, compression strength testing and the spread of temperature in cold storage, selecting the packaging, and simulation of transportation. Design process produce four packaging design, that was: the first design with capacity of 24 fruits per package with circle ventilation (K24CV) and with oblong ventilation (K24OV) has dimensions 30 x 23 x 32 cm, then the second design with capacity of 40 fruits with circle ventilation (K40CV) and with oblong ventilation (K40OV) has dimensions 37 x 30 x 32 cm. The material of packaging design used BC flute for primary packaging (outer) and used B flute for secondary packaging (inner). K40CV was a selected packaging based on the testing during research when has average ability to resist compression about 272.32 kgf and more adaptable in cold storage than other packaging design when enter the minute of 130 it has a stable which the different temperature from each other point in the packaging is about 0.15-0.4ºC
