Determination of Shelf Life and Proximate Analysis of Orumy Beverage Produced by Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise INOKAM in Dolly Distric

In this research, Orumy beverage have been made with the main ingredient of the Eucheuma cottoni seaweed spesies. For labeling and commercialization purposes, it is necessary to determine the shelf life and nutritional contents of seaweed beverages. The shelf life investigation in this study was conducted by Accelerated Shelf Life Testing (ASLT) method. While on the determination of nutritional content, the proximate analysis method was used. The Orumy beverage used in this research consists of three flavors: strawberry, lemon, and lychee. This study results that the shelf life of Orumy beverages with strawberry, lemon, and lychee flavors are 44 days, 45 days and 38 days at 30°C storage temperature respectively. The nutrients available in Orumy beverages with strawberry, lemon, and lychee flavors are ash content by 0.11 ± 0.01%, 0.11 ± 0.00%, 0.12 ± 0.02%, moisture content by 89.54 ± 0.01%, 88.53 ± 0.01%, 88.52 ± 0.01%, protein content by 0.65 ± 0.22%, 0.33 ± 0.23%, 0.33 ± 0.23%, crude fiber content by 3.34 ± 0.01%, 3.49 ± 0.01%, 3.39 ± 0.01%, fat content by 2.71 ± 0.24%, 2.75 ± 0.28%, 2.87 ± 0.21%, and carbohydrate by 2.71 ± 0.24%, 4.78 ± 0.55%, 4.78 ± 0.05%.
