Perancangan Kemasan Transportasi Buah Jambu Air (Syzygium aqueum) cv Camplong

Jamboo cv Camplong was an exotic fruit from Sampang Indonesia which had high economic values. The quality of fresh Jamboo was greatly influenced by the types of packaging and ways of its transportation that affected its shelf life. The purpose of this research were designing a primary packaging and analyzing the quality of Jamboo cv Camplong after short transportation (from Sampang to Surabaya). Farmers used conventional packaging with capacity of 8.4 kg/box (dimension 478 mm x 146 mm x 354 mm). Based on theoretical packaging design showed that the flute BC cardboard (capacity 4.5 kg/box, dimension 357 mm x 217 mm x 216 mm) with partition flute A cardboard. In fact, there was needed modification of the dimension (342 mm x 210 mm x 200 mm) because of the fruits diameter (60-65 mm). This result did not change the efficiency usage of transportation space (91-95%) and compression strength of box can support (7 boxes/ stack). The result showed that the mechanical damage after transportation were 20.87% for conventional packaging (as control) and 7.70% for modification packaging design (packaging with partition)
