Assess Experimental Use Fractionation Column on Distillation System Liquid Smoke as Preservatives Food of Coconut Fiber

Abstract

In Indonesia in general has the potential of natural resources are very abundant, especially in North Sulawesi are famous with waving palm earth this is due in North Sulawesi has great natural resources, especially oil. The potential of these highly abundant palm plantations should be empowered to optimally especially waste handling, especially coco. Coconut coir that has been processed in the pyrolysis contains substances such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin that are useful in the management and preservation of food more specifically for marine fish preservation, especially in the process of replacement of smoked fish. Because of the usefulness of these substances, then we make a distillation system which can generate smoke condensate liquid through the combustion process called pyrolysis fractionation column by using the function captures tar to avoid ending up in the smoke which is condensed into liquid smoke. This study aims to (1) Make distillation system liquid smoke from coconut husk using a fractionating column of stainless steel metal materials (2) evaluating the need for heat in the distillation system liquid smoke from coconut husk (3) Conduct a study experimentally liquid smoke from coconut husk as food preservative, especially fish. Coco fiber 20 kg, through the pyrolysis process within 20 minutes resulted in 7.5 kg of liquid smoke. The research was conducted at the Department of Mechanical Engineering workshop Manado State Polytechnic.
