Fresh fruit is one of main needs in family. Maintaining fruit freshness using low temperatures is a food safety solution. Thermoelectric cooling has advantage of being environmentally friendly because not use CFC. The purpose of this study was to obtain coefficient of performance (COP) and see the mass loss and temperature effect on the shelf life of citrus fruits. This research uses experiment…
Indonesia terletak di daerah tropis memiliki temperatur maksimum harian melebihi 30°C dengan kelembaban tinggi sepanjang tahun sekitar 70-90%. Kenaikan temperatur ambien dapat mendorong dikembangkannya teknologi mesin pendingin. Teknologi mesin pendingin adalah suatu teknologi yang dapat menimbulkan perlakuan terhadap udara untuk mengatur temperatur, kelembaban, kebersihan dan pendistribusiann…
