Judul: Pengeringan Osmotik pada Irisan Buah Mangga Arumanis (Mangifera indica L.) dengan Pelapisan Kitosan
Abstrak: Osmotic dehydration with sugar solution as the osmo-active substance was commonly applied to fruits, for example the mango. The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of Chitosan-coating, temperature and concentration of solution on Water Loss (WL) and Solid Gain (SG) during osmotic dehydration of mango. The treatment of solution temperatures of 30 oC and 50 oC and solution concentrations of 42 oBrix, 54 oBrix and 66 oBrix were applied to this research. The variable of the mass of the sample, moisture content, solid content, and the volume of the sample were measured during this research. Measurement was done at minute 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240, and 300. The sample non-coating, high temperature and high concentration of the solution increases WL, while the use of chitosan, low temperature and high concentration of the solution decreases SG. The largest values of PR was 12.2 at E1T1C3 treatment (using the chitosan, solution temperature 30 oC, and concentration of the solution 66 oBrix) with the WL values was 49.65 % and the SG values was 4.05 %. Azuara’s model was suitable for modeling the WL and SG on the osmotic dehydration of mango slices.

Abstrak: Osmotic dehydration is one of the alternative methods commonly applied on pre-drying fruits like mango. The objectives of this study were to obtain effect of sugar concentration and thickness of mango slice on changes of osmotic dehydration characteristic and physical properties changes of mango slice in osmotic dehydration using temperature 30ºC, and in osmotic dehydration at room temperature for 48 hours. Thickness of mango slice that used were 0.5 cm, 1 cm, and 1.5 cm, while concentration of osmotic solution were 30ºBx, 45°Bx and 60°Bx. Observations were carried out for 6 hours at 30ºC and 48 hours at room temperature. High concentration of osmotic solution increased WL, but high solid gain trend in medium concentration of osmotic solution (45ºBx) was found. Increasing of concentration osmotic solution increased shrinkage, WR, density and porosity. Decreasing of thickness mango slice increased value of WL, WR and shrinkage. While the thickness of mango slice didn’t affect SG value, density and porosity of sampel increased during the process or osmotic dehydration. The best sample was thickness 0.5 cm using 60ºBx osmotic solution. It has lower water content, high value of WL, and lower SG value. Azuara modeling can be used as data validation WL obtained of R2 values 0.954 to 0.993.

Abstrak: Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Dewan lnternasional Pengembangan Pendidikan (me International Central of Educational Development) da n UNESCO mengungkapkan bahwa negam-negara berkembang umumnya mernpunyai masalah yang terkait dengan peningkatan dan pendapatan yang menjadi dasar penting bagi pendidikan masyarakat. Dengan dernikian perlu diadakannya program pernbangunan pendidikan baik melalui pendidikan fomal maupun pendidikan nonformal. Dalam hal ini lebih ditekankan kepada pendidikan non formal, sehingga memunculkan ide Community Learning centre (CLC).
