PENYUSUNAN DRAFT STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE (SOP) PEMBUATAN GULA MERAH KELAPA (STUDI KASUS DI PENGRAJIN GULA MERAH KELAPA DESA PURWOREJO KEC. NEGERI KATON KAB. PESAWARAN)
ABSTRACT: The objective of
this research was to improve coconut brown sugar quality produced by coconut
sugar farmers in Purworejo Village Negeri Katon , District in Pesawaran Regency
by composing SOP draft. This research was conducted through five stages: (1)
field observations to collect the data form coconut sugar farmers and coconut
sugar producers using interviews and
questionnaires; (2) determination of critical point and optimal conditions of
processing stage; (3) composing of SOP draft; (4) testing SOP draft, and (5)
observations to products after SOP draft implementations on particular coconut
brown sugar producers. The data were
analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the moisture contents of
coconut sugar before and after SOP draft implementations were 9.47% and 7.12%
respectively. This indicates that
coconut sugar product after SOP draft implementation contained lower moisture
content compared to those without SOP draft implementation, and the product had
fulfilled SNI requirement for moisture content.
The implementation of SOP draft had also caused decreased in ash content
from 2.22% to 5,7% in those without SOP
draft and it was close to SNI quality requirements (maximum 2.0%). The average
content of reducing sugar of the product implementing SOP draft was
3.39% compared to those without SOP draft implementation (5.46%), and it met
the SNI quality requirement (maximum 10%). Organoleptically, coconut brown sugar produced after SOP draft implementation
had less bitter taste, harder texture and brown yellowish or brighter color ,
whereas the ones without SOP draft implementation had darker color. The overall acceptance of coconut sugar products after SOP draft
implementation was more desirable
compared to those of without SOP draft implementation.
