Drying of Rosella (Hibiscus sabdariffa) Flower Petals using Solar Dryer with Double Glass Cover Collector

Abstract

Chemical ingredients in rosella petals are very beneficial for health. Rosella petals needed to be drained for storage and packing purpose. The traditional drying takes 5 days and less healthy. Solar dryer technology can speed up the drying process and protect materials from dust contamination. Solar dryer with double glass covered collector has been designed and made for drying of agricultural products such as rosella flowers. Rosella petals as much as 2300 grams with initial moisture content of 90.84 % be dried with this dryer until the moisture content of 7.67 % takes only 2 days, although the weather was less sunny. The temperature in the drying chamber was not more than 50° C, so it was good for drying groceries, not damaging chemical ingredients. The relative humidity in the space dryeris was about 40 % and it was still relative low. Drying rate and drying performance was expressed by the efficiency and Specific Moisture Evaporation Rate (SMER) were influenced by water content of the dried material and weather. Daily efficiency at the first and the second day: 14.931 % and 5.78%, while the daily SMER on the first and the second day: 0.222 and 0.0256 (kg / kWh)..

Impact of Processing and Physicochemical Parameter on Hibiscus sabdariffa Calyxes Biomolecules and Antioxidant Activity: From Powder Production to Reconstitution

“…To a lesser extent, heat is transferred by conduction through the support drying. Therefore this drying process depends on extrinsic factors such as the weather conditions (sun position, duration of sunshine, temperature, humidity, rain, and air velocity) ( Table 2 ) and intrinsic factors of the product such as the specific surface area, chemical composition, and physical structure (porosity, density, size and shape) [ 12 , 47 ]. Solar energy is a fundamental energy for tropical and sub-tropical regions since it is accessible, renewable, and free of charge.…”

Pelatihan Dan Simulasi Data Mining Pada Sma Negeri 3 Semarang

“…Dua kelompok algoritme pemodelan umumnya digunakan -diawasi dan tidak diawasi. Tugas pemodelan prediktif, di mana tujuannya adalah untuk memprediksi nilai satu kolom berdasarkan nilai kolom lainnya, disebut tugas yang diawasi [7]. Tugas-tugas ini mirip dengan pengawasan seorang Guru yang memberi Anda jawaban yang benar untuk pertanyaan, untuk mengajari kita.…”

A comparison between deep learning, naïve bayes and random forest for the application of data mining on the admission of new students

“…Data mining concept is to extract hidden patterns and to discover relationships between parameters in a vast amount of data [9]. Data mining is the process of extracting data (previously unknown, implicit, and considered useless) into information or knowledge or patterns from large amounts of data [10]. Data that is considered "garbage" because it is not patterned/not structured and is not useful, is processed (filter) so that it forms information or knowledge or new patterns that are useful [9].…”

“…A cycle to obtain a pattern or information that is very interested in data and used by a technique [24], methods, or algorithms under the objectives of the KDD process is called data mining process [10].…”
