Abstract

Spices are grown by numerous farmers throughout Indonesia. It is also quite useful for a variety of other things, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and cooking spices. Spices are often kept dry, with less than 10% water content, to preserve their quality. During this process, a drying machine is required. The purpose of this study is to investigate the drying of spices using a thermoelectric refrigeration system. The experimental approach was selected, and it consists of many phases of implementation: designing and building the apparatus, installing and calibrating the measuring instruments, gathering and processing the experimental data, and analyzing the outcomes. This study looks at the following quantities: specific moisture extraction rate (SMER), drying rate, energy consumption, and system performance. The drying equipment performed well, according to the findings. At the start of the procedure, the water content reduction stage happens swiftly, and at the finish, the water content reduction step happens slowly. With an average specific water content extraction (SMER) of 0.7, the thermoelectric drying system performs admirably.
