UJI ALAT PENGEPRES MINYAK (OIL PRESS) PADA BEBERAPA KOMODITI
ABSTRACT: Basicly, oil press
is designed to press candlenut. This
study was used in testing various commodity on oil press which was aimed to
find the capacity of the oil press in removing oil from grains besides
candlenut. This study was conducted at the Laboratory of Agricultural
Engineering and parameters were analysed at Laboratory of Food Technology
Faculty of Agricultural USU in March to May 2014 by using a non factorial
completly randomized on peanut, soybean and corn. Parameters measured were
effective capacity of oil press, water content of oil and yield. The results
showed that the commodities had highly significant effect on effective
capacity, water content and yield. The best treatment was the P1 (peanut) which
produced 1,536 l/kg effective capacity, 0,171% water content of oil and 0,367
l/kg yield.
