Kandungan nutrisi jagung manis sangat mudah rusak dimana kandungan gulanya dapat hilang 50% dalam 1 hari apabila tidak dilakukan penanganan yang baik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh lama hydrocooling, suhu penyimpanan dan interaksi interaksinya terhadap kualitas jagung manis (Zea mays subsp. saccharate L.). Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Hortikultura, Laboratorium Analisis Pangan dan Hasil Pertanian dan Laboratorium Ilmu dan Teknologi Benih Fakultas Pertanian, Universitas Syiah Kuala, Kota Banda Aceh. Pelaksanaan penelitian dimulai dari bulan November sampai dengan bulan Desember 2022. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) pola faktorial 4 x 2 dengan 3 ulangan, sehingga terdapat 8 kombinasi perlakuan dengan 24 satuan percobaan. Setiap satuan percobaan terdiri dari 2 sampel jagung manis, dengan demikian untuk seluruh unit percobaan digunakan 48 jagung manis. Kualitas jagung manis terbaik diperoleh pada hydrocooling selama 15 menit. Kualitas jagung manis terbaik diperoleh pada penyimpanan suhu rendah. Kualitas jagung manis terbaik diperoleh pada kombinasi antara hydrocooling selama 15 menit dan penyimpanan pada suhu rendah.

The nutritional content of sweet corn is very easily damaged where the sugar content can be lost by 50% in 1 day if not handled properly. This study aims to determine the effect of the type of hydrocooling time, storage temperature and interaction on the quality of sweet corn (Zea mays subsp. saccharate L.). This research was carried out at the Horticulture Laboratory, Laboratory of Food and Agricultural Product Analysis and Seed Science and Technology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Syiah Kuala University, Banda Aceh City. The research was carried out from November to December 2022. This research was carried out using a Completely Randomized Block Design (RCBD) with a factorial pattern of 4 x 2 with 3 replications, so there were 8 treatment combinations with 24 experimental units. Each experimental unit consisted of 2 samples of sweet corn, so that in total there were 48 sweet corn. The best quality of sweet corn was found in hydrocooling for 15 minutes. The best quality of sweet corn was found at low temperature storage. The best quality of sweet corn was found in the combination of hydrocooling for 15 minutes and storage at low temperatures.
