| Summary: | Liquid smoking in preserving protein-based foods such as meat, fish and cheese
has been increasingly utilized, giving a pleasant flavour and inhibit the effects of
pathogens. Liquid smoke is the product of pyrolysis system and distillation
process. The smoke produced by incomplete combustion reaction involves the
decomposition of polymers into low molecular weight of organic compound due
to the effect of oxidation reaction, polymerization and condensation. Coconut
Shell Liquid Smoke (CSLS) has been reported to be safe and not toxic to animals
and human health. In this study, coconut shells are used to produce the liquid
smoke using pyrolysis and condensation processes. The main objective of this
research is to produce liquid smoke from coconut shell using 230 L pilot plant of
pyrolysis system. The process conditions and characteristics for high yield of
coconut shell liquid smoke production were determined. The composition and
characteristics of coconut shell liquid smoke was also analysed. Result shows
that the pyrolysis of coconut shell using the designed system produced the
highest liquid smoke yield of 36.93 wt% obtained from run 1 at reaction
temperature of 220o
C in five hours. |
