Penyimpanan pada suhu dingin merupakan salah satu cara mempertahankan kesegaran ubi jalar ungu Ayamurasaki. Pendinginan akan memperlambat atau mencegah terjadinya kerusakan yang tidak diinginkan tanpa menimbulkan gangguan pada proses pematangan dan memperlambat perubahan yang tidak diinginkan selama penyimpanan suhu dingin. Penyimpanan suhu dingin khususnya pada suhu 40C dapat memperpanjang masa hidup jaringan-jaringan dalam bahan pangan tersebut karena aktivitas respirasi menurun dan menghambat aktivitas mikroorganisme. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui Aktivitas Antioksidan Ubi Jalar Ungu (Ipomoea Batatas Var Ayamurasaki) Selama Penyimpanan Suhu 40C. Hipotesis yang dapat diambil dari penelitian ini adalah: Diduga lamapenyimpanan suhu dingin mengalami peningkatan terhadap kandungan senyawaantioksidan khususnya senyawa antosianin yang terdapat dalam ubi jalar ungu(Ayamurasaki). Tempat dan waktu penelitian. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Laboratorium Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Katolik Widya Karya Malang pada bulan Maret 2014. Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan dalam percobaan ini adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL). Perlakuan lama penyimpanan pada suhu 40C terdiri dari 4 (empat) level.
