Abstract

Abstrak. Guna mengoptimalkan penggunaan benih yang merupakan komponen biaya input terbesar dalam budidaya kedelai, diperlukan mesin singulasi benih yang mempunyai unjuk kerja tinggi, terjangkau, dan sesuai untuk kondisi di Indonesia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah merancang dan mengevaluasi kinerja mesin singulasi benih kedelai dengan disk vertikal berdiameter 118 mm yang dilengkapi seed cell sesuai dimensi rata-rata benih kedelai (8,8 mm 7,4 mm 6 mm). Bentuk seed cell disesuaikan dengan sifat gesekan benih kedelai dan permukaan PETG sebagai material disk. Desain disk vertikal dapat meminimalkan kerusakan benih saat pengambilan, dibandingkan desain dengan screw. Mesin singulasi terdiri atas hopper penampung benih dan kontainer pengambilan benih satu per satu oleh seed cell di sekeliling disk. Disk digerakkan motor stepper dengan kecepatan putar variabel yang dikontrol presisi oleh mikrokontroler Arduino Uno R3. Evaluasi dilakukan pada kecepatan putar disk 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, dan 5 rpm. Hasil terbaik mencapai 100% singulasi atau Miss Index nol pada rentang 5 rpm kebawah dengan kecepatan linier permukaan disk 0,11 km/jam atau kurang. Penanaman benih presisi ini menghilangkan benih multiple dan missing pada skala laboratorium.Performance Testing of a Vertical Disc-Based Soybean Seed Singulation Machine with Variable Speed Control Utilizing a Stepper MotorAbstract.To optimize the use of seeds, which are the largest input cost component in soybean cultivation, a seed singulation machine with high performance, affordability, and suitability for conditions in Indonesia is required. The objective of this research is to design and evaluate the performance of a soybean seed singulation machine with a 118 mm diameter vertical disk equipped with seed cells according to the average dimensions of soybean seeds (8.8 mm 7.4 mm 6 mm). The shape of the seed cell is adjusted to the frictional properties of soybean seeds and the PETG surface as the disk material. The vertical disk design can minimize seed damage during pickup, compared to a screw design. The singulation machine consists of a seed hopper and a container for individual seed pickup by the seed cells around the disk. The disk is driven by a stepper motor with variable rotational speed precisely controlled by an Arduino Uno R3 microcontroller. Evaluation was conducted at disk rotational speeds of 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, and 5 rpm. The best result achieved 100% singulation or a zero Miss Index in the range of 5 rpm and below, with a disk surface linear speed of 0.11 km/h or less. This precision seed planting eliminates multiple and missing seeds on a laboratory scale.

This study examined the potential of starch extracted from kluwih seeds (Artocarpus camansi) as a base material for producing environmentally friendly edible films. Glycerol was added at varying concentrations to act as a plasticizer, aiming to produce edible films with both tensile strength and elasticity. The variation in glycerol concentration had a significant impact on the physical and mechanical properties of the resulting edible films. Increasing the glycerol content from 1% to 1.3% tended to reduce tensile strength but increased elongation, indicating enhanced film flexibility. Additionally, the thickness and swelling rate of the edible films also increased with higher glycerol content, while the Water Vapour Permeability (WVP) values also rose, suggesting higher water vapour permeability. The tensile strength ranged from 79.80 to 110.10 MPa, elongation from 6.71% to 9.13%, film thickness from 0.1225 to 0.1625 mm, and swelling values between 270.95% and 302.60%. The WVP ranged from 4.69 10 to 7.98 10 g.m/m.s.Pa. Thermal analysis also indicated relatively low thermal resistance of the films.

Abstract

Abstrak. Jeruk nipis kering berpotensi digunakan sebagai bahan alternatif dalam pembuatan infused water yang lebih aman dibandingkan jeruk nipis segar karena masa simpannya lebih panjang dan risiko pertumbuhan mikroorganismenya lebih rendah. Pengeringan turut berperan mempertahankan kualitas serta nilai gizi, sehingga produk tetap bermanfaat saat dikonsumsi. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi pengaruh variasi suhu pengeringan terhadap mutu irisan jeruk nipis sekaligus menganalisis aspek biaya prosesnya. Rancangan penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan lima taraf suhu, yaitu 40C, 50C, 60C, 70C, dan 80C. Parameter mutu yang diamati meliputi kadar air, laju pengeringan, dan kadar vitamin C. Analisis ekonomi mencakup biaya tetap, biaya variabel, biaya total, biaya pokok pengeringan, dan rasio B/C. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa suhu pengeringan tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap kadar air akhir, tetapi berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kadar vitamin C. Suhu 80C menghasilkan laju pengeringan tertinggi dengan waktu tercepat (420 menit), namun menurunkan kadar vitamin C lebih besar. Sebaliknya, pengeringan pada 40C mampu mempertahankan kadar vitamin C lebih tinggi, meskipun membutuhkan waktu lebih lama (25 jam). Analisis ekonomi menunjukkan nilai rasio B/C1, yang mengindikasikan bahwa proses pengeringan jeruk nipis kering layak secara finansial dan berpotensi untuk dikembangkan pada skala agroindustri kecil hingga menengah.The Effect of Temperature Variation on the Quality and Cost of Drying Lime Slices (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle)Abstract. Dried lime has the potential to be used as an alternative ingredient in the preparation of infused water, offering greater safety compared to fresh lime due to its longer shelf life and lower risk of microbial growth. The drying process also plays an important role in maintaining the quality and nutritional value of lime, ensuring that it remains beneficial for consumption. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different drying temperatures on the quality of lime slices as well as to analyze the economic aspects of the drying process. The experiment was arranged using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five levels of drying temperature: 40C, 50C, 60C, 70C, and 80C. The quality parameters observed included moisture content, drying rate, and vitamin C content. The economic analysis covered fixed costs, variable costs, total costs, unit cost of drying, and the B/C ratio. The results showed that drying temperature had no significant effect on the final moisture content but significantly affected the vitamin C content. Drying at 80C produced the highest drying rate with the shortest processing time (420 minutes) but resulted in a greater reduction of vitamin C. Conversely, drying at 40C retained higher vitamin C content, although it required a longer drying time (25 hours). The economic analysis indicated a B/C ratio greater than 1, demonstrating that the lime drying process is financially feasible and has the potential to be developed on a small- to medium-scale agroindustry.
