Penentuan Kadar Air dan Kadar Kotoran pada Inti Sawit di Stasiun Kernel di PTPN III Nusantara Pabrik Kelapa Sawit Rambutan Tebing Tinggi

Abstract

Determination of Moisture and dirt from the kernel oil content in kernel station at High Cliff Rambutan PTPN III by conducting experiments for 7 days. Analytical results obtained varied, ie respectively 9.59%, 7.86%, 7.90%, 6.11, 11.70%, 7.90% and 7.80% for water content and successive 7.97%, 9.50%, 8.50%, 9.38%, 4.43%, 8.50% and 7.87% for the levels of impurities. Results of analysis of water content and the levels of these impurities there are two samples that do not meet the quality standards of the norm or PTPN III Rambutan, which is the norm for the water content is ≤ 7.0% and for levels of impurities were ≤ 6.0%. So, for the kernel processing, shall be fully the factors that can increase water levels and levels of these impurities. Due to moisture and dirt content in palm kernel that does not meet the norms will reduce the quality of palm kernel oil to be sold or further processed into palm kernel oil.
