Abstract

Red chili is one of the most important horticultural products. Red chili is a perishable commodity that easily damages, caused by bacteria or fungal. Changes in the enzyme activity in chili that cause shrinkage or wrinkles during storage, transport, and fresh chili packing can reduce the market price. The objective of this study was to determine the changes that occur in the drying process. The material used in this study was red chili (Capsicum annuum). The equipment used Far Infrared Ray (FIR) dryer, electrical oven, and equipment for analysis. This study employed a randomized block design consisting of 5 drying treatments with 3 replications for each treatment. This study showed that the use of FIR dryer at 50°C for drying red chilies gave the best drying time (11 hours), compares with sun drying (38 hours), and oven 50°C (46 hours). The rehydration property of the water content produced is also not much different from an oven dryer at 60°C (39 hours) and sun drying. Drying with FIR caused loss of volatile more than the oven method, however drying time for FIR dryer at 50oC and 60oC were shorter. Air quality levels, ash levels, VRS, and the yield obtained was not significantly different from the oven dryer which took longer drying time. Far Infrared dryer (FIR) and sun drying are radiation drying method, and electric oven as a convection method can provide the best results.

Abstract

Most human activities use fossil energy to meet their energy needs. Fossil energy is limited in quantity and non-renewable in nature, raising concerns that it may no longer sustain future energy demands. Bio-pellets are an alternative fuel that can address the scarcity of stove fuels such as kerosene and gas. Rice straw is one of the potential biomass materials for bio-pellet production due to its abundance and environmental sustainability. The addition of wood powder in bio-pellet manufacturing can increase calorific value and improve pellet energy efficiency. This research aims to find a bio-pellet formula combining rice straw and wood powder that complies with SNI 8021:2014. The method employed in this study is experimentation, involving the creation of three different bio-pellet compositions. The selection of the best bio-pellet is determined by analyzing the collected data using single-factor RAL in SPSS 24 software. The chosen bio-pellet formulation in this study is KJ1 with a density of 1.457 g/cm3, moisture content of 9.076%, calorific value of 3,924.48 cal/g, and water boiling rate of 284 seconds.

Abstract

As the main source of energy for the country, fossil fuels are used to fulfill the needs in every human activity such as cooking. People usually use kerosene and LPG, which are fossil fuels. The increasing use of fossil fuels is inversely proportional to the earth's reserves in nature. Currently, there is a scarcity of fossil fuels such as LPG and kerosene in several places. As petroleum reserves decrease, both LPG and kerosene also decrease. The use of biomass alternative energy sources is one way to solve the current energy problem. The abundant availability of waste from agricultural products is utilized as biomass renewable energy. This is also one of the alternatives to handling agricultural waste by becoming a renewable fuel, environmentally friendly and more economically valuable. This research aims to utilize rice husk into alternative fuel, analyze the characteristics and quality of a mixture of rice husk and sawdust. Biopelets in this study are made from rice husk and sawdust, there are 3 formulations, namely KS-1 husk content lower than KS-2, KS-2 husk content lower than KS-3. The best biopelet from the test results is biopelet with KS-3 formulation with a moisture content of 7.27%, density of 1.322 g/cm3, and calorific value of 3983.39 cal/g.
