Keywords:
Palm sugar, Harvest Age, Cane Palm Sugar, OrganolepticAbstract
Cane palm sugar is one of the derivative products from sugarcane juice which has high economic value and is very prospective for development. This is because the demand for palm sugar has never decreased and so far the need has not been fulfilled both for export and domestic needs.
The objectives of this study were (1) To determine the effect of harvesting age on the quality of cane palm sugar produced, (2) To determine the effect of cooking methods on the quality of cane palm sugar produced, (3) To determine the appropriate treatment that gave the best quality of the palm sugar.
Based on the results of the analysis and data interpretation, the conclusions are as follows: (1) The age of the palm sugar harvest is very influential on the success of the formation of sugar crystals produced (2) The harvest age has a very significant effect on the yield of palm sugar and Brix from the cane palm sugar produced (3) Brix and yield. : (a) 8 months harvest age Brix reaches 12.5%, field yields 4.25%, and real/final product yield 3.91% (b) 10 months harvest age Brix reaches 19.7%, field yields 7.85% and yields real / end products 7, 85%. (c) Harvest age 12 months Brix reached 23.6% field yield 9.80% and real/final product yield 9.80% (4) Based on the organoleptic test, panelists assessed: (a) Color: researchers gave an assessment of 4.4 (like ) at the harvest age of 8 months, 4.6 and 4.8 (very fond) at the harvest age of 10 months and 12 months. (b) Aroma: the researcher assessed 4.5 (likes) at the age of harvest at 8 months, 4.7 (very like) at the age of harvest at 10 months, and 12 months. (c) Texture: the researcher assessed 4.3 (likes) at the age of harvest at 8 months, 4.6, and 47 (very fond) at the ages of 10 months and 12 months. (d) Taste: the researcher assessed 4.3 (likes) at the age of 8 months of harvest, 47 (very likes) at the age of 10 months, and 12 months. (e) Making cane palm sugar should be done without delay in grinding and avoiding sunlight directly so that the yield does not shrink, (f) The best harvesting age for cane palm sugar is 12 months of harvest.
