Abstract

Ambon bananas are a fruit that is widely consumed by people. Apart from being easy to obtain,
Ambon bananas are rich in vitamin A, compared to other types of bananas. Ambon bananas also
contain nutrients such as carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and high levels of potassium. Ambon
bananas are also widely liked by Indonesian people because they have a sweet taste and soft
texture. Apart from being fresh fruit, Ambon bananas are often processed into various products
such as chips, jam and other snacks. One processing method that can extend the shelf life of
bananas is drying which produces dried fruit. Using a dryer can speed up the drying process and
also ensure a better level of cleanliness compared to drying done in the sun. A food dehydrator
is a drying tool that functions to dry food ingredients by removing the water content contained
in the ingredients. Dried fruit is fruit that is processed by drying it under direct sunlight or using
technology, namely an artificial drying device (oven or dehydrator) but still retains its taste and
aroma. Dried fruit can be preserved longer than fresh fruit and can be a practical snack, especially
to satisfy hunger. This research aims to examine the effect of drying time with a food dehydrator
on sensory properties or level of liking using the hedonic organoleptic test, determine the water
content using the oven method, determine the total sugar using a refractometer, and determine
the ash content in dried Ambon banana fruit. Analysis results: Drying Ambon bananas using a
food dehydrator with a drying time of 12 hours at a temperature of 60oC provides optimal results
for sensory properties (color, texture and taste). And produces quite good chemical content. The
water content of dried Ambon banana fruit ranges from 5.003 to 1.512
