- Abstract
These instructions give you the Onion is a basic necessity of the community and the food industry, but sometimes it is constrained / crisis due to unbalanced inventory, market needs and causes fluctuating prices. The manufacture of a drying and storage device with temperature and humidity monitoring and thermo electric cooler (TEC) applications is expected to help and accelerate the handling of onions. TEC can produce hot and cold temperatures, then applied to the heating and air conditioning that work simultaneously. Heating serves as a medium of onion drying that works on a set of 37oC temperature and 30-35% RH humidity. The air conditioner serves as a storage and preserving medium of onion that works on the 25oC temperature set point and 70% RH moisture. The testing process is done by monitoring at how much influence the system built on the onion. The results of testing tool on shallots on the drying process for 2 days of red onion shrank 2.6% mass. Then on the process of storage for 10 days of red onion experienced 8.6% mass shrinkage and the condition of onion still looks fresh. While on the conventional process when drying onion with drying for 3 days of red onion mass shrinkage of 11.3%. In the storage process in a regular room for 10 days with a temperature condition of 29oC and 68% humidity of RH onion has a mass shrinkage of 12.2% and decay occurs on the onion tuber.
