The data obtained were analyzed with the metjod of distinction statistical program, SPSS 16. The result showed the addition of BHT on edible film can change the characteristics of edible film such as tensile strength and water vapor permeability. Addition of BHT can decrease tensile strength of edible film and increase water vapor permeability of edible film. Dodol packed with edible film with addition of BHT is able to delay the detriment of dodol seen of quality parameters peroxide value and TBA value
