Abstract

The consumption of fried fish crackers has encountering problems of high-fat content, oil uptake and rancidity during product preservation. This research was aimed to study puffing by microwave of fish cracker on quality. The fish cracker puffed by microwave at wave of 450, 600 and 800 microwave power for 40, 60, 80 and 120, It was seconds found that Datok and Narathiwat fish cracker from microwave power and time affecting to brightness (L*), red value (a*) and yellow (b*) significantly different (p≤0.05). Both fish crackers showed that the L* value decreased followed with an increasing of microwave power and time of puffed by microwave effect on darkening color, respectively. Whereas, a* and b* increased tendency the colors red and yellow. The Datok and Narathiwat fish cracker using waved at 800 microwave powers for 80 second and 600 microwave powers for 60 second were most appropriate of puffing fish cracker. The puffing value of Datok fish cracker was better than Narathiwat fish cracker were 7.62 and 3.45 times, respectively. Puffing value of fish cracker decreased with following microwave power and time increases, as same as moisture content and water activity (aw) of puffing fish cracker by microwave show that moisture and aw were 1.14-4.58% and 0.29-0.44, receptively. Comparison conditions effect puffed by microwave and fried fish cracker found that fish cracker puffing by microwave was moisture content did not exceed the standards prescribed at 4%, the fat content not exceed 1.5%. Peroxide value (PV) and puffing by microwave less than fried fish cracker. While, hardness was higher than fried fish cracker. Sensory test of fish cracker puffing by microwave showed that both Datok and Narathiwat fish cracker accepted of tester for overall scores were 7.30 and 7.20, receptively. Conclusion, fish cracker puffing by microwave was quality and accepted of customer.Keywords :  semi-finished fish cracker, physical-chemical properties,  microwave power, puffing time
