| dc.description.abstract | DESMON PUTRA: Various Agricultural Commodities Test Using Mechanically
Spiral Potato slicer, supervised by AINUN ROHANAH and ADIAN RINDANG.
Post-harvest processing is useful to increase the production of agricultural
produce into products which have a higher economic value compare tobefore
processing. This study was aimed to calculate the effective capacity of the tool,uncut
the material, the material that left in the appliance, and organoleptic value of chips
produced by mechanical spiral slicer from some agricultural commodities, namely
potatoes, cassava, yams and taro. The study began in June and November 2015 at the
Laboratory of Agricultural Engineering Faculty of Agriculture, University of
Sumatera Utara.Parameter observed were the effective capacity of the tool, the uncut
material, the material that was left in the device, and organoleptic test.
The results showed that the four commodities, had no significant effect on
the effective capacity of the tools and tools and organoleptic values ( crispness and
aroma) but the four commodities had significant effect on the material cut, the left
material and value of organoleptic taste. | en_US |
