Uji Bebagai Tingkat Kecepatan Putaran Terhadap Kualitas Hasil Pada Alat Pengering Kelapa Parut (Desiccated Coconut)

Abstract

YOGA PURNAMA NOOR: Study of RPM effect on Product Quality of Desiccated Coconut Dried in Desiccated Coconut Dryer, supervised by LUKMAN ADLIN HARAHAP AND SULASTRI PANGGABEAN. Drying of grated coconut is a food processing technology that can produce healthy food without much changing it’s original nature like taste, aroma, color and nutrient of the food. This research was aimed to tested speed of pulley of Desiccated Coconut Dried in Desiccated Coconut Therefore, a research had been conducted at Agricultural Engineering Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture USU in january 2015 using a non factorial completely randomized design with three times D1 = 2 inch (70 RPM), D2 = 4 inch ( 35 RPM ), D3 = 6 inch (23,3 RPM). Parameters observed were moisture content, yield and organoleptic tests.the different of speed RPM had significant effect on water content and yield, and had no significant effect on color, aroma and overall acceptance. The best of speed RPM is D1 = 2 inch (70 RPM)
