<![CDATA[Liquid smoke is an acetic acid (vinegar) which is obtained by pyrolysis of such as wood, coconut shell, palm shells and coconut fibers which are then followed by a condensation process in a water-cooled-condenser. The purpose of this study is to determine yield and characteristics of the liquid smoke produced from the pyrolysis of "Tabah" bamboo stems with different temperature treatments. This study uses "Tabah" bamboo stems that have been cut into 5 cm length. The treatment used 3 kg of "Tabah" bamboo sticks. A tubular pyrolysis reactor with 38 cm in diameter and height of 50 cm was used in this research. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 different pyrolysis temperature treatments, namely 200 oC, 300 oC and 400 oC. The observed characteristics of liquid smoke were pH, yield, total phenol, total acid and liquid smoke density. Research shows that treatment of pyrolysis temperature affects total yield and total phenol, but has no effect on pH and density of liquid smoke. The highest liquid smoke yield (46.11%) was obtained at pyrolysis temperature of 400 oC (12,354% total acid) but its total acid is lower than of 200 oC which reached 13.774%. However the highest total phenol is producid at pyrolysis temperature of 300 oC (24.19 mg /l)]]>
