Abstract

Drying is a suitable alternative for post-harvest management, especially in countries such as Indonesia where distribution facilities and post-harvest handling are not good. It should be noted that more than 20% of damaged or decayed crop yields are preserved by drying to increase yields. shelf life. This is the oldest and most effective method of lowering moisture content to slow down spoilage by microorganisms. Likewise with ginger agricultural products that require post-harvest handling, so that the product can be stored for a long time, but with the aroma and texture that does not change much. The aim of this research is the dehumidification system of the ginger drying machine which efficiently dries fresh ginger at a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. With a time of 9 hours, dried fresh ginger with a dehumidification system dryer resulted in an average weight reduction of 81% of fresh ginger with an average moisture content of 9.2% ginger powder.
