Abstract

LAMHOT HUTABARAT : Jackfruit Chips Frying Temperature Test In Vacuum Frying Equipment Type Vacuum Pump, supervised by Lukman Adlin Harahap and Sulastri Panggabean. Vacuum frying is a food processing technology that can produce healthy food without much changing it’s original nature like the taste, aroma, color and nutrients. This research was aimed at testing the frying temperature of jackfruit chips in vacuum frying (vacuum pump type). Therefore, a research had been conducted at Agricultural Engineering Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture USU in January - February 2014 using factorial randomized block design with one factor i.e. frying temperature (75°C, 80°C, 85°C, 90°C and 95°C). Parameters observed were loss of oil, water content, organoleptic values and economic analysis. The results showed that temperature had different significant effect on loss of oil, water content and organoleptic value. The best result was found in frying temperature of 90°C
