superrvised by ACHWIL PUTRA MUNIR and SAIPUL BAHRI DAULAY
Fruit chips is one of agricultural commodity processing results and also
an attempt to extend the shelf-life of the commodity. Therefore, every process in
the processing must be optimal, especially in the draining process. The purpose of
this research was to test the hole density of basket on centrifugal drainer to see
the quality of chips produced. The research was conducted from July to
September 2014 in the Laboratory of Agricultural Engineering, Agricultural
Faculty, USU using a non factorial completely randomized design on basket with
density of 4 mesh, 16 mesh, 25 mesh, 36 mesh, and 49 mesh. Parameters
measured were effective capacity of the drainer, the amount of oil that was
drained, and the percentage of defects in draining banana chips. The results
showed that the hole density had highly significant effect on the three parameters.
The best type of basket density was KK3 ( 25 mesh ) with the effective capacity of
9.6333 kg/h, the amount of the drained oil was 3.6667 % , and the percentage of
defects was 9.6667 %. | en_US |
