PENGARUH VARIETAS TEBU, POTONGAN DAN PENUNDAAN GILING TERHADAP KUALITAS NIRA TEBU
ABSTRACT: Sugar is a product
produced by sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum).
The quality of sugar is measured by analysing Nira Perahan Pertama (NPP)
of sugar cane. Nira’s quality is
influenced by sugar’s variety, sugar’s cutting, and sugarmill delay time. The goal of this study is to know the
influence of cutting sugar’s variety and sugarmill delay time toward nira’s
quality (%brix, %pol, pH, reduction sugar %brix, HK and NNPP). This study used completely randomized
factorial design (RAL). Some independent
variables used are: sugar’s variety (PSJT 941 and PS 881), cutting sugar
(without cutting, 1/3 partand 1/5 part), and sugarmill delay time (day
0/freshandday 3). While dependent
variable used in this study was nira’s quality: %brix, %pol, pH, reduction
sugar %brix, HK and NNPP. Data analysed
by using 3 ways analysis of variance.
Comparation test was done using 5% significance level. The study showed that the best variety was PS
881, 1/5 part cutting sugar was not influential significantly toward nira’s
quality; sugarmill delay time in 3 days caused nira’s quality go down (shown by
raise of %brix, decrease of pH, raise of reduction sugar %brix, and decrease of
HK).
