Abstract

The YSD-UNIB’s drying chamber temperature and relative humidity fluctuated changed due to the influence of the temperature of the heat exchanger and water. The temperature of the drying chamber was 38.3-78.6℃, averaging 61.5℃. It reached two times higher than the ambient temperature. The relative humidity of the drying chamber was 10-55%, averaging 17.5%. It reached 3-5 times lower than the relative ambient humidity. The moisture content was 60-65%wb, which was then reduced until it reached less than 12%. The drying time average increased by 25-30% for every increase of 2 cm of coffee thickness. YSD-UNIB18 dried the coffee bean until 33-72 hours for dry-processed coffee and 39-77 hours for semi-washed processed coffee. The drying rate decreased drastically in the first 20 hours and then constant until the end of the drying. The average drying rate decreased by 40-50% for every 20%wb decrease in moisture content. Except for the dry-processed coffee with a thickness of 4 cm, which experienced an average decrease of 28%. The treatment combinations of the coffee drying showed a significant difference in drying time, drying rate, and number of defects in each treatment combination (p<0.05). The Page Model is the best model to describe the behavior of coffee bean drying using the YSD-UNIB18 hybrid dryer with the highest R² and the lowest of SSE, RMSE, and X². Based on SNI 01-2907-2008, the dry and semi-washed processed coffee were in Grade IV and Grade II-III, respectively
