PERBANDINGAN LAMA PENGERINGAN TERIPANG PASIR (Holothuria scraba) DENGAN ALAT PENGERING HYBRID

Abstract

A tool hybrid dryer is an innovative a tool created to overcome the problem of drying a product. A dryer is a method used in food technology to extend the shelf life of a product by evaporating most of the water content of the material until it reaches a certain water content using heat energy, thereby inhibiting the rate of damage to the material due to biological, and chemical activity (Hatta et al., 2019). Research that specifically compares the drying time for sand sea cucumbers using a tool hybrid dryer with conventional drying methods. This research aims to compare the drying time for sand sea cucumbers(Holothuria scraba) using a tool hybrid dryer with conventional drying methods under direct sunlight. By carrying out this comparison, it is hoped that we can more clearly understand the effectiveness of the hybrid dryer in increasing the efficiency, and quality of drying sand sea cucumbers. The research method used is a quantitative descriptive method. Hybrid dryers are more efficient than conventional methods. Apart from that, a tool hybrid dryers provide advantages in terms of a relatively fast time. The conclusion is that using a tool hybrid dryer requires the addition of fire to maintain the existing hot temperature so that the drying process can be maximized.
