Abstract

Indonesia is a country with a large area of oil palm plantations, so there are many factories for the production of cooking oil. Indonesian people use a lot of cooking oil because processed food in Indonesia is mostly fried which causes a lot of used cooking oil to be wasted. The purpose of this study was to determine the resistivity of used cooking oil on the quality of palm cooking oil which can be useful in the field of renewable energy and reduce environmental pollution due to excessive waste of palm cooking oil which can cause damage to aquatic ecosystems, pollute the soil, and cause health problems. Used cooking oil can be processed properly so it is not harmful to the environment and health. One of the steps in processing used cooking oil is to know its resistivity value as the beginning of the refining process. Used cooking oil has a resistivity value that contrasts with soil so it is easy to interpret. Thus it is expected to know the resistivity value of used palm cooking oil. The results of this test obtained the resistivity value of used cooking oil after frying five times, namely 13.320 Ohm meter.

Abstract

Measuring the moisture content of corn kernels was a critical aspect of post-harvest handling, as moisture content directly affected product quality and shelf life. This study validated a portable resistive-sensor-based instrument for measuring corn kernel moisture content by comparing its readings with those obtained using a standard grain moisture meter. The validation involved ten corn kernel samples with moisture contents ranging from 12% to 14% on a wet basis. Each sample was measured using both the standard moisture meter and the portable resistive-sensor instrument under identical conditions. Measurements obtained from the two devices were compared to evaluate their agreement using the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). The results showed that the portable resistive-sensor instrument achieved an MAE of 0.42% and an RMSE of 0.44% relative to the standard device. These low error values demonstrated that the developed instrument produced consistent measurements and accurately tracked variations in corn kernel moisture content. In addition to its measurement accuracy, the instrument offered several practical advantages, including a simple design, relatively low implementation cost, portability, rapid measurement, and suitability for on-site corn quality assessment. Overall, the resistive-sensor-based instrument provided an economical, practical, and readily implementable alternative for moisture measurement, with potential applications in supporting the drying and storage of agricultural commodities.
