Kinetika Pengeringan Cabai dengan Perlakuan Blansing Suhu Rendah-Waktu Lama
Drying Kinetics of Chili with Low Temperature Long Time Blanching Treatment
Abstract
This study was aimed to determine the drying kinetics of chilies that have been pretreated with low temperature long time (LTLT) blanching. Drying chilies with LTLT blanching pretreatment at 60, 70, and 80 oC for 20 minutes was assigned as treatment in this research. Drying chillies with high temperature short time (HTST) blanching pretreatment, without blanching pretreatment in the dryer, and without blanching pretreatment in direct sunlight were also studied as the comparison. The results showed that chilies treated with blanching pretreatment, both LTLT and HTST, have a faster drying rate and achieve the target moisture content faster than chilies that were not blanched. The color of dried chilies that were dried in a dryer was also better than dried chilies that were dried in the sun. Of all the blanching treatments, chilies with LTLT blanching pretreatment at 80 oC for 20 minutes had the fastest drying rate, a drying time of 34 hours, and the attractive dried chilli color. The evaluation results also showed that the Page model was the most suitable model to describe the drying characteristics of chilies with LTLT pretreatment blanching, with R2 ranging from 0.9913-0.9935, X2 ranging from 0.0005-0.0009, and RSME ranging from 0.0221-0.0293.

ABSTRAK
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kinetika pengeringan cabai yang diberi perlakuan awal low temperature long time (LTLT) blanching atau blansing pada suhu rendah dalam waktu yang relatif lama. Perlakuan pada penelitian ini yaitu pengeringan cabai dengan blansing metode LTLT pada suhu 60o, 70o, dan 80oC selama 20 menit. Sebagai pembanding, dilakukan juga pengeringan dengan perlakuan awal metode high temperature short time (HTST) blanching, pengeringan cabai tanpa perlakuan awal blansing di dalam alat pengering, serta pengeringan cabai tanpa perlakuan awal blansing di bawah sinar matahari secara langsung. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa cabai dengan perlakuan awal blansing, baik blansing metode LTLT maupun HTST, memiliki laju pengeringan yang lebih tinggi sehingga lebih cepat mencapai kadar air target dibandingkan dengan cabai tanpa perlakuan blansing. Warna cabai kering yang dihasilkan pada alat pengering juga lebih baik dari cabai kering yang dikeringkan langsung di bawah sinar matahari. Dari seluruh perlakuan yang melibatkan proses blansing, cabai dengan blansing metode LTLT pada suhu 80oC selama 20 menit merupakan perlakuan dengan laju pengeringan tercepat, dengan waktu pengeringan selama 34 jam, dan warna produk cabai kering yang menarik. Hasil evaluasi juga menunjukkan bahwa model Page adalah model yang paling sesuai untuk menggambarkan karakteristik pengeringan cabai dengan perlakuan awal blansing metode LTLT, dengan R2 berkisar antara 0.9913-0.9935, X2 berkisar antara 0.0005-0.0009, dan RSME berkisar antara 0.0221-0.0293.
