abstract: Oil palm plantations in Indonesia are growing rapidly from year to year, thus
positioning Indonesia as the largest oil palm production country in the world. Old
oil palm trunks produced during the replanting period have the potential to be used
as sugar because of their sugar content in palm sap. This research aims to
determine the effect of heating temperature on the chemical characteristics and
quality of liquid sugar from palm oil sap, as well as determine the feasibility of the
technical and financial aspects of the liquid sugar agroindustry. This research was
carried out in four stages; sap extraction and collection, liquid sugar processing,
characterization, and techno-economic analysis. The results show that heating
temperature influenced the quality of the sugar. A hotplate temperature of 400°C
with ±95°C cooking temperature is the best treatment with a Brix degree value of
69.5°; pH 5.89; 37% water content; 3.3% ash content and 25.2% yield. The results
of the sugar profile analysis showed a 33% glucose content, 16% fructose content,
and no sucrose content was detected. The HMF levels were 107 mg/kg, the high
levels of HMF were due to sugar being exposed to high heating temperatures for a
long time. Therefore, the techno-economic analysis was carried out using the open
cooking method because when heated using a hot plate the liquid sugar produced
had high levels of HMF. Agroindustry processing liquid sugar made from palm sap
is feasible to be established with an NPV value of IDR 1,007,489,609; IRR 22.04%;
Net B/C 1.25; PBP 4.1 years; BEP units 91,284 bottles; The Rupiah BEP is IDR
1,100,748,999 and the business will be still viable if there is an increase in fuel of
up to 20%.

ABSTRAK

KARAKTERISASI GULA CAIR NIRA BATANG KELAPA SAWIT TUA
(Elaeis guineensis Jacq) DAN ANALISIS TEKNOEKONOMI

Perkebunan kelapa sawit di Indonesia berkembang pesat dari tahun ke tahun yang
membuat Indonesia menjadi negara penghasil minyak kelapa sawit terbesar di
dunia. Batang tua kelapa sawit yang dihasilkan dalam periode waktu replanting
berpotensi dimanfaatkan menjadi gula karena terdapat kadar gula yang tinggi pada
nira kelapa sawit. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh suhu
pemanasan terhadap karakteristik dan mutu kimia gula cair, juga mengetahui
kelayakan pada aspek teknis, finansial agroindustri gula cair. Penelitian ini
dilakukan dengan empat tahapan; ekstraksi dan pengumpulan nira, pengolahan gula
cair, karakterisasi, dan analisis tekno ekonomi. Hasil penelitian menunjukan suhu
pemanasan memiliki pengaruh terhadap kualitas gula yang dihasilkan. Suhu
pemanasan 400°C pada hotplate dengan suhu pemasakan ±95°C merupakan
perlakuan terbaik dengan nilai derajat brix 69,5°; pH 5,89; kadar air 37%; kadar
abu 3,3% dan rendemen 25,2%. Hasil analisis profil gula menunjukan kandungan
glukosa sebesar 33%, fruktosa 16% dan tidak terdeteksi adanya kandungan sukrosa.
Kadar HMF yang dihasilkan 107 mg/kg, tingginya kadar HMF diakibatkan gula
terpapar pada suhu pemanasan yang tinggi dalam waktu yang lama. Oleh karena itu
analisis tekno ekonomi dilakukan dengan metode pemasakan terbuka dikarenakan
pada pemanasan menggunakan hot plate gula cair yang dihasilkan memiliki kadar
HMF yang tinggi. Agroindustri pengolahan gula cair berbahan nira kelapa sawit
layak didirikan dengan nilai NPV Rp 1.007.489.609; IRR 22,04%; Net B/C 1,25;
PBP 4,1 tahun; BEP unit 91.284 botol; BEP rupiah Rp 1.100.748.999 dan usaha
masih layak apabila terjadi kenaikan bahan bakar sampai 20%.
