    ABSTRACT

    This research conducted with experiment method, by 4 treatments that is 3 used

    carbide doses ( 1000 ppm, 2000 ppm, 3000 ppm) and 0 ppm as control ( without carbide) by 3

    restating with 3 stages age of harvest.

    Observation taken to banana physical denaturing include sphericity, fruit density,

    hardness, yielded husk colour, and organoleptic test i.e. flavour, deliciousness, and hardness

    by masaged.

    From research result got the kepok banana sphericity value range from 0.453 up to

    0.467 and for raja sereh banana sphericity range from 0.386 up to 0.394. Bananas density onbefore ripening until 3th day after ripening for kepok banana range from 0.8824 up to 0.9988

    and for raja sereh banana range from 0.8778 up to 0.9967. The value of bananas density on

    before ripening until 3th day after ripening is smaller then value of waters density ( 1 kg/l).

    The value of kepok banana hardness from third old age harvested before and after ripening is

    decrease from 39.1 until 4.6 Pascal. The value of raja sereh banana hardness is decrease from

    28,0 until 2.8 Pascal.

    INTRODUCTION

    Background

    Banana ( Musa paradisiaca L.) representing original commodity of Indonesian can be

    made one of the expected horticulture pledge product can compete in free market. Farm

    laboured for the growth of banana enough wide of spread over in various region of

    Indonesian, tired 33,3 million hectare which consist of lawn farm 4,9 million hectare, rice

    field 8,5 million hectare, farm 3,2 million hectare, and non irigated dry field 16,7 million

    hectare ( Purnomo, 1996). Banana crop given high priority by because representing one of theimportant product which have value of gizi high, standard goodness upon which in food

    industry as consumed product in the form of is fresh ( desk fruit) which is have potency to be

    exported ( Suprayitna, 1996).

    Banana is nicely as commercial fruit. According to Nazaruddin and of Muchlisah

    ( 1994), commercial fruit which very liked and have separate fascination to consumer. The

    fruit have to feel delicious and have interesting appearance so that have energy sell high and

    can to the advantage of farmer.

    From some writer observation at some farmer known that there is some times harvest

    banana applied by farmer. Banana there which harvested at storey;level of mature, and there

    is which not yet is mature. Farmer and also merchant of banana in general have used gas of

    asetilen coming from carbide to quicken process ripening of banana. Amount of carbide used

    by each farmer or merchant of banana differ one another, as market in Pariaman to ripening

    5 units banana fruit there is using carbide 100 gram, 200 gram, and there which dont bedeliberated, only using some just carbide block.

    Gas of asetilen coming from carbide beside quicken process ripening of banana, also

    can improve; repair or change banana husk colour, so that banana which is ripening using

    carbide yield colour which good relative compared to banana which is ripening without

    carbide. Banana consumer tend to to chosen banana colour which relative goodness.

    Raja Sereh banana varietas which usually consumed direct in a state of fresh or as

    desk fruit, while banana of kepok banana usually consumed in the form of cooking.

    Target and Usefulness of Research

    Intention of this Research is: (1) to know denaturing of banana physical with age

    harvest and different varietas after ripening, and ( 2) to know influence of carbide dose inripening of banana with different crop age and varietas.

    As for usefulness of this research that is can improve; repair the nature of physical of

    banana after conducted by ripening can improve production and earnings of society farmer of

    banana.

    a. Size measure

    Fruit size measure shown from value of geometric diameter mean, while fruit form of

    ditujukkan of Sphericity value ( sphericity). To look for value of geometric diameter mean

    and of sphericity used by equation:

    GMD = ( MID x MOD x MAD)1/3

    . (1)

    where : GMD = geometric mean diameter ( mm), MID = short diameter ( mm), MOD =

    middle diameter ( mm), and MAD = long diameter.

    Sphericity =MAD

    GMD.. (2)

    b. Specific Gravity or Density

    To determine density or specific gravity can look for from comparison among/between

    fruit weight which have been measured by its sphericity with volume of the fruit by using

    equation:

    b = xBC

    A

    Volum

    Weight

    )( =

    a...(3)

    where : A = weight of fruit on the air ( kg), B= weihgt of bowl + water ( kg), C = weight of

    bowl + water + fruit (kg), a = density of water ( 1 kg / l), and b = density of fruit ( kg / l).

    c. Hardness

    Measurement of hardness of fruit quantitatively by using appliance of force gauge. Set

    of hardness of fruit expressed in pascal.

    d. Test of Organoleptik

    At observation of test of organoleptik will to test aroma, feel, and hardness. Process

    analyse aroma and feel by organoleptik shall be as follows test to feel and this aroma is

    done/conducted by providing water which have been cooked to clean and neutralize mouth so

    that/ to be can measure difference feel, is so that known by difference feel beloved of taken

    banana at 3 crop age. Examination numbers mentioned by at test form feel and aroma, for the

    test of hardness by masaged. For the value of aroma given by criterion and score 4 ( very

    odorous), 3 ( fragrance), 2 ( less odorous), and 1 ( do not make fragrance). And for value feel

    score and his/its criterion that is 4 ( very sweet), 3 ( beloved), 2 ( less sweet), 1 ( do not

    beloved). Amount of panelist weared by that is 15 people.

    Measurement of hardness of fruit qualitative done/conducted by rubdown with handfinger. Score assess 1, 2, and 3 given successively for soft condition, rather hard, and ossify.

    RESULTS

    A. The Nature of Physical

    From Tables 1 the see that the sphericity of Kepok banana higher then Raja Sereh

    banana. for all the age of harvesting. Assess banana sphericity of Kepok highest is 0,467 at

    old crop age full (mature), and which is smallest is 0,453 at age harvest 20 day before

    maturing. And for the Raja Sereh banana assess highest sphericity is 0,394 at old crop full

    (mature) and which is smallest is 0,386 at age harvest 20 days before maturing. This data

    show that faster time cropping of banana hence value of sphericity fruit more and more to

    lower. Ball object of perfection have sphericity is equal to 1.

    Pursuant to from Tables 1, value of bananas density before highest ripening at Kepok

    banana there are at harvesting 10 days before maturing is 0,9988 kg / l, and value of

    smallest density there are at maturing that is 0,9870 kg / l. And for the Raja Sereh banana

    assess highest density there are at maturing, and 10 days before maturing, its value is 0,9967

    kg / l, while its value there are at crop 20 days before maturing is 0,9885 kg / l.

    At Table 2 indicated that by value hardness of Kepok banana higher than Raja Sereh

    banana at all stages of harvesting. To both types of these banana varietas of highest hardnessvalue there are at age harvest 10 days before maturing. For the Kepok banana assess highest

    hardness is 39,1 Pa and Raja Sereh banana assess highest hardness is 28,0 Pa.

    Pantastico ( 1986) saying that composition of fruit tissue partake to determine hardness

    of fruit. Difference of hardness can be considered to be variation of of extract content,

    calcium and pectin from each varietas.

    On before conducting of ripening of banana husk colour to both types of varietas and

    all age harvest still green chromatic. On first after ripening for the treatment of carbide dose 0

    colour ppm yielded for the plantain of sereh for all age harvest still green chromatic still but

    differ from Kepok banana there are happened change of colour that is colour turn yellow more

    than green. At carbide dose 1000 ppm, 2000 ppm and 3000 banana colour ppm yielded for the

    king of and sereh of kepok in general have rust colored too many for one green.On both after ripening for the treatment of carbide dose 0 ppm at Kepok banana for

    all age harvest have rust colored more than green but for the Raja Sereh banana with all age

    harvest there is which have turned yellow more than green, green more than turning yellow

    and there is which still green is at all. For the treatment of carbide dose 1000 banana colour

    ppm of Kepok banana have rust colored full of all and Raja Sereh banana for all age harvest

    have rust colored but there is still become green. For the treatment of carbide dose 2000

    colour ppm yielded to both types of varietas third age harvest have turned yellow full of. And

    for the treatment of carbide dose 3000 yielded colour ppm at Kepok banana at all of age

    harvest have turned yellow full (of), but at plantain of sereh for all age harvest yielded by

    colour is colour turn yellow which there is still a few green.

    On third after ripening for the treatment of carbide dose 0 ppm at Kepok banana forall age harvest yielded colour have rust colored meagrely become green, but for the Raja

    Sereh banana with all age harvest there is which have turned yellow full (of), more green

    than turning yellow and there is which still green is at all. And for the treatment of carbide

    dose 1000 ppm, 2000 ppm and 3000 good ppm of Kepok banana and also of Raja Sereh

    banana for all age harvest yielded colour have turned yellow with brown pocks equally have

    matured.

    Difference of contained by chemical composition is banana ( especially carbohydrate,mineral and water) partake to determine change of husk colour, so that at banana which have

    cooked happened difference of colour to each; every banana varietas.

    Treated banana with quicker carbide cook than treated banana without carbide. Given

    by banana is carbide yield uniform fruit husk colour while at control ( without carbide) fruit

    husk colour yielded do not uniform. The data of physical properties of banana after

    conducted by ripening during three-day, presented by at Tables 2 and 3.

    From result of perception of Kepok banana plantain and of sereh on third after

    ripening indicated that by at various age storey; level pluck that is 20 day before maturing, 10

    day before maturing, and maturing, with increase of carbide dose from 0 ppm become 2000

    ppm hence will degrade value hardness of fruit. For the Kepok banana, at 20 day before

    maturing, 10 day before maturing, and maturing happened degradation of hardness of fruit

    successively from 14,8 Pa become 4,6 Pa, 15,0 Pa become 6,2 Pa, and 10,8 Pa become 4,6 Pa.

    For the Raja Sereh banana, at 20 day before maturing, 10 day before maturing, and old

    moment full (of) happened degradation of hardness of fruit successively from 11,6 Pa become3,4 Pa, 12,2 Pa become 3,9 Pa, and 9,3 Pa become 2,8 Pa.

    The flafour of Kepok banana on third ripening obtained by result of that highest

    aroma happened at carbide dose 2000 ppm with score 3,3. The score reached by at harvested

    fruit sampel 10 day before maturing and maturing. While at age pluck 20 day before

    maturing, obtained by highest score equal to 3,1.

    For the plantain of sereh, highest aroma reached by at carbide dose 2000 ppm that is

    equal to 3,1. The score happened at harvested banana sampel 10 days before maturing. For the

    sampel of harvested banana at maturing, obtained by highest score equal to 3,2.

    Result of measurement of hardness of fruit pursuant to massaging by hand, obtained

    by pattern which is same as at hardness test by using appliance of force get that is with make-

    up of carbide dose from 0 ppm till 2000 ppm hence will cause the happening of degradationof storey;level hardness of banana.

    CONCLUSIONS

    From result of research can be taken by the following conclusions :

    1. The sphericity of Kepok banana range from 0,453 up to 0,467 and for the Raja Sereh

    banana range from 0,386 up to 0,394.

    2. Bananas density on before ripening until day to- 3 after ripening for the Raja Sereh

    banana and Kepok banana, its value is small the than value of density of water.
