PENENTUAN TINGKAT KERUSAKAN BUAH MANGGA PADA POSISI PENGANGKUTAN DENGAN SIMULASI GETARAN YANG BERBEDA
ABSTRACT: The objective of
this research is to know the influence of vibration on the physical condition
of the fruit as well as to determine the best position of mangoes during
transportation. The method used in this research was by performing physical
tests of mangoes using a transportation simulation process. The benefit of this
research is finding the most effective way to reduce damage during
transportation. This research was using
the experimental method with two treatment; i.e. vibration in three levels (2,
3 and 4 cm) and mangoes position as well. The physical condition analysis was
emphasized on the fruit pressure value. The result was indicated the
significant different between the fruit pressure value before and after
transport simulation. The biggest value is vertical position with the former
stem below (Va). However, there are no significant difference between upper
layer and bellow layer of fruit position.
