ABSTRAK Hubungan atribut mutu biji kakao fermentasi dengan Standar Nasional Indonesia serta tahapan dan prioritas pengolahannya perlu dituangkan dalam suatu matriks. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan hubungan atribut mutu biji kakao fermentasi yang dipersyaratkan SNI 2323-2008 dan tahapan pengolahannya dengan metode Quality Function Deployment (QFD), sehingga menghasilkan urutan prioritas tahapan pemrosesan. Penelitian ini terdiri dari 5 langkah, yaitu menyusun atribut kualitas, menyusun atribut proses produksi, menghubungkan atribut kualitas dan atribut tahapan pengolahan, menghubungkan tahapan pengolahan, serta menghitung dan memilah tahapan prioritas pengolahan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwahubungan yang sangat kuat terdapat pada atribut mutu pengotor memiliki nilai hubungan sebesar 3,8 dengan proses pengeringan biji kakao, kadar biji berjamur memiliki nilai hubungan sebesar 3,8 dengan penyimpanan biji kakao, kadar air memiliki nilai hubungan sebesar 3,6 dengan penyimpanan dan 4 dengan pengeringan biji kakao, serangga hidup memiliki nilai hubungan sebesar 3,8 dengan penyimpanan dan 3,6 dengan kemasan biji kakao. Hubungan yang erat antara pengolahan biji kakao ditunjukkan pada proses pengeringan memiliki nilai 3 dengan fermentasi biji kakao, biji kakao kering kemasan memiliki nilai 2,8 dengan pengeringan dan memiliki nilai2,6 dengan sortasi biji kakao kering, kakao penyimpanan biji memiliki nilai hubungan 2,8 dengan pengeringan, dan memiliki nilai hubungan 2,6 dengan pemilahan biji kering dan memiliki nilai hubungan 3 dengan kemasan.

This study aims to describe the relationship between the quality attributes of fermented cocoa beans required by SNI 2323-2008 and the processing stages using the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method, to produce a priority sequence of processing stages. This research consists of 5 steps, including arranging quality attributes, arranging the attributes of the production process, connecting quality attributes and processing step attributes, connecting the processing steps, and calculating and sorting the priority stages of processing. The results shown that a very strong relationship is in the attributes of the quality of impurities has a relationship value of 3.8 with the drying process of cocoa beans, moldy seed content has a relationship value of 3.8 with the storage of cocoa beans, water content has a relationship value of 3.6 with storage and 4 with drying cocoa beans, live insects have a relationship value of 3.8 with storage and by 3.6 with the packaging of cocoa beans. A strong relationship between cocoa bean processing is shown in the drying process has a value of 3 with the fermentation of cocoa beans, dried cocoa bean packaging has a value of 2.8 with drying and has a value of 2.6 with a sortation of dried cocoa beans, cocoa bean storage has a relationship value of 2.8 with drying, and has a relationship value of 2.6 with dry seed sortation and has a relationship value of 3 with packaging. The results of the priority sequence analysis of the processing stages showed that cocoa bean storage had anaverage contribution value of 0.130, drying cocoa beans had an average contribution value of 0.120, and packaging had an average contribution value of 0.112, soo that the strategy to fulfill SNI for cocoa bean fermentation can be optimal by using the QFD matrix Keywords : Cocoa Beans; Fermentation; Postharvest; Processing; Priority

One of the ways to increase the production of cocoa pods is by applying fertilizer. Fertilization using organic materials is an option for fertilizing cocoa plants. This study aimed at determining the magnitude of the increase in cocoa fruit production with the application of organic fertilizer. The research location was in Prafi Subdistrict, which is a subdistrict that has a cocoa plant development area, carried out from January to December 2019. The results showed that the application of organic fertilizer on cocoa plants by 10 tons ha-1 could increase the number of cocoa pods by 296, 10 % compared to control plants. In addition, the results showed that there is a strong correlation between the number of wet beans and the number of dry cocoa beans with a coefficient value of 0.98.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of whey protein isolate (WPI)-extract of meniran (Phyllanthus niruri L.) encapsulation using casein hydrolyzate on foam overrun, optical microscopy, particle size and viscosity. The materials used was whey protein isolate, an extract of meniran (Phyllanthus niruri L.) encapsulated using casein hydrolyzate. The method used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 treatments of casein hydrolyzed as encapsulation material, 0%, 2%, 4%, 6% and 8%, namely P0, P1, P2, P3 and P4 repectively, with 3 replications. The variables observed were foam overrun, particle size, and viscosity which were analyzed using analysis of variances (ANOVA). If there is a significant or very significant difference, analysis will be continued with the DMRT (Duncan Multiple Range Test). Variable of optical microscopy was analyzed descriptively. The results showed that whey protein isolate-meniran extract encapsulation using casein hydrolyzate gave a very significant difference (P<0.01) on in viscosity and foam overrun but did not give significant difference (P>0.05) on particle size. The average foam overrun value was 325% - 400%, the viscosity was 0.985 cP - 1.015 cP, the particle size was 0.8944 nm - 1.5031 nm, and optical microscopy showed that the most abundant distribution and amount of foam was observed in P4, namely whey protein isolate-meniran extract encapsulated with 8% casein hydrolyzate. Along with the addition of casein hydrolyzate with different concentrations (2%, 4%, 6%, 8%), the distribution and shape of the foam became more even and uniform. The conclusion of this study was that the addition of 6% casein hydrolyzate on the encapsulation effect of whey protein isolate-meniran extract was able to maintain the physical properties of WPI-meniran extract on viscosity, optimal particle size, foam overrun, and optical microscopy with a shape, uniform foam distribution and lamella tend to be thick.
