Shelf Life of Nori from Eucheuma cottonii with Aluminum Foil Packaging Based on the Accelerated Shelf Life Test Method

This research aims to determine the shelf life of Nori from Eucheuma cottonii in aluminum foil packaging using the Accelerated Shelf Life Test (ASLT) method with the Arrhenius approach model. This research was conducted using aluminum foil packaging to package Eucheuma cottonii nori products in 2 different storage temperatures, namely 25°C and 35°C. Observations were made on the 35th day with a countdown method which included sensory testing and moisture content testing. The data from the observations had analyzed the estimation of shelf life using the Arrhenius approach model. The results showed that the taste quality parameter is a critical parameter that determines the shelf life of Eucheuma cottonii nori using aluminum foil packaging. The shelf life of nori from Eucheuma cottonii using aluminum foil packaging has a shelf life of 2 months 14 days 17 hours.
