Abstract:
The fundamental problems in the development of palm sugar (Cocos nucifera L) were high production costs and not practicaly product, hence, required effort to improve the syrup of palm sugar. The aims of this study to obtain the efficient conditions process to make palm sugar syrup from various types of raw materials and fuel used. The research method using a randomized block design (RBD) with 2 factors, the type of fuel (LPG and kerosene) and the type of raw material (sugar palm print and palm sap) and analysis of the effectiveness of the index. The results showed that the production of sugar syrup with palm sugar product and kerosene fuel was the best alternative with an index value of 1.00 and the cost effectiveness of the production of each bottle @ 650 ml at Rp. 11.55
