| dc.description.abstract | Research has been carried out to determine the moisture content and impurity content of production kernel samples at PT. PP London Sumatra Indonesia, TBK. In determining the level of impurities, it begins with weighing the sample and separating the sample between the shell, whole seeds, and broken seeds, and a round core. Then, each sample is weighed and calculated the % of each sample and its impurity content. In determining the moisture content, it begins with smoothing the sample and weighing the empty saucer. Then, put the mashed sample into the saucer. Then, it is cooled, weighed, and calculated % of the moisture content. In accordance with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 01-0002-1987 on palm kernels, the quality standard value of palm kernels for impurity content < 6% and water content < 8%. From the measurement results, calculations were then carried out on the sample for the first day to the third day, so that results were obtained for determining the impurity content, namely 5,9% for the first day, 5,7% for the second day, and 6,0% for the third day, and for the determination of water content, which was 6,08% for the first day, 6,73% for the second day, and 6,28% for the third day. Thus, the (kernel) has met the quality standard requirements for impurity content and water content. | en_US |
