Abstract

Palm sap, the primary raw material for palm sugar and other derivative products, often faces quality issues due to the presence of solid particles, dirt, and microorganisms that accelerate fermentation and spoilage. This study aimed to design and construct a stainless steel filtration device based on the Buchner method to enhance the cleanliness and quality of palm sap. The filtration system employs a vacuum mechanism to expedite the separation of solid impurities, improving efficiency over conventional gravity methods. Laboratory-scale testing evaluated filtration capacity, clarity, and process time efficiency. Results demonstrated that the device significantly increased sap clarity while reducing filtration time. Additionally, the stainless steel construction proved easy to clean and durable for repeated use. This innovation benefits traditional Minahasa farmers in North Sulawesi, enabling them to produce higher-quality palm sugar. The filtration process effectively reduced dust and water content while increasing sugar concentration to 21.3 Brix without requiring extensive cooking. The use of the Buchner method and SS304 stainless steel construction ensures consistent filtration quality, offering a practical solution to improve palm sap processing and enhance farmers' incomes.

Abstract

Tourism and culinary activities are increasingly integrated into wine tourism, a key segment of agricultural tourism. Palma wine, a traditional wine produced from the sap of palm trees (locally known as sagars), is a significant product for the Minahasa farming community in North Sulawesi. This study focuses on optimizing the fermentation process to enhance the quality of Palma wine by utilizing food-grade HDPE containers and a dual-role fermentation tank. The tank is designed to reduce dust content in the palm sap through an efficient mechanism while minimizing disruptions during the transfer of fermentation products. The research involves designing and testing fermentation tanks based on applied science and technology principles to improve purification processes and standardize effectiveness and efficiency measurements. Results demonstrate that the use of high-quality fermentation tanks enhances the purification process and ensures better-quality Palma wine, contributing to the development of local wine tourism and supporting sustainable agricultural practices.
