Abstract

Proper post-harvest handling is very necessary to maintain product quality and extend the shelf life. One way to extend the shelf life of agricultural products, including cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens L.), is by drying techniques. Blanching pretreatment before drying can maintain the condition of the dried product so that it can maintain the final product quality. The aim of this research was to analyze the water content, water content ratio (MR), drying rate, drying constant of cayenne pepper using a rotary rack type of hybrid dryer. The use of rotary racks type hybrid dryer is a cheaper drying alternative and the use of rotary racks is able to standardize the water content in the cayenne pepper drying process. The research was carried out with two treatments, namely with and without blanching process at a temperature of 90°C for 5 min. The second factor was drying temperatures were are 43 47℃, 48-52℃ and 53-57℃ until the cayenne pepper reach the water content according to the reference, namely in the range of 5-8%. From the research results, it was obtained that the lowest water content of cayenne pepper was given pretreatment blanching at a temperature of 53-57°C, namely 6.43% with a drying time of up to 14 h. The drying rate of blanched cayenne pepper was higher than that of unblanched cayenne pepper. Keywords: Blanching, Cayenne pepper, Drying.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis strategi optimalisasi pengelolaan air pada lahan kering dengan menerapkan tiga prinsip agroekologi: daur ulang nutrisi dan air, integrasi tanaman-ternak, serta peningkatan produktivitas sistem. Metode yang digunakan adalah Systematic Literature Review (SLR), dengan analisis terhadap 30 artikel dari jurnal internasional dan nasional yang terindeks Scopus dan Web of Science, yang diterbitkan antara 2020-2025. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penerapan prinsip daur ulang air, seperti pemanenan air hujan, penggunaan mulsa organik, dan konservasi in-situ, dapat meningkatkan efisiensi penggunaan air sebesar 45-65% serta mengurangi evapotranspirasi hingga 25-40%. Integrasi tanaman-ternak terbukti meningkatkan retensi air tanah melalui penambahan bahan organik, yang memperbaiki struktur tanah hingga 50%. Fokus pada produktivitas sistem, seperti diversifikasi tanaman tahan kekeringan, agroforestri, dan pengelolaan holistik, dapat meningkatkan produktivitas air sebesar 35-55% serta meningkatkan ketahanan sistem terhadap variabilitas iklim. Implementasi terintegrasi dari ketiga prinsip ini dapat meningkatkan produktivitas pertanian sebesar 40-60%, mengurangi degradasi lahan, dan meningkatkan sekuestrasi karbon hingga 2-4 ton C/ha/tahun. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penerapan strategi agroekologi yang terintegrasi dapat mendukung keberlanjutan lingkungan dan meningkatkan produktivitas pertanian di lahan kering. Water Management Optimization in Dryland Agriculture to Enhance Sustainable Agricultural Productivity: Agroecological Principles Approach Abstract This study aims to analyze strategies for optimizing water management in dryland areas by applying three agroecological principles: nutrient and water recycling, crop-livestock integration, and system productivity enhancement. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), analyzing 30 articles from international and national journals indexed in Scopus and Web of Science, published between 2020-2025. The findings indicate that the application of water recycling principles, such as rainwater harvesting, organic mulching, and in-situ conservation, can increase water use efficiency by 45-65% and reduce evapotranspiration by 25-40%. Crop-livestock integration has been shown to improve soil water retention through the addition of organic matter, enhancing soil structure by up to 50%. Focusing on system productivity, such as the diversification of drought-tolerant crops, agroforestry, and holistic management, can increase water productivity by 35-55% and improve system resilience to climate variability. The integrated implementation of these three principles can increase agricultural productivity by 40-60%, reduce land degradation, and enhance carbon sequestration by 2-4 tons C/ha/year. This study demonstrates that the application of integrated agroecological strategies can support environmental sustainability and improve agricultural productivity in dryland areas.
