Further statistical analysis confirmed that the drying techniques applied significantly affected the drying rate and post-drying quality values of dragon blood’s resin. Except the ash content of solar dried resin, other post-drying quality parameters of dragon blood resin from both drying techniques have met the Indonesia standard for trading purpose (SNI 8663:2018). The results showed that solar drying of dragon blood required shorter time (210 minutes) with higher drying rate (0.25%/minute) than the oven drying process which need 250 minutes to finish with a drying rate of 0.14%/minute. Both drying techniques were executed until the resin dried which was indicated by color change and its easiness to rupture. The purpose of this study was to measure and compare the effect of solar and oven drying on the drying performance and quality of dragon blood’s resin.
The drying techniques used is assumed to affect not only the drying performance but also the quality of the dragon blood’s resin, in particular its active ingredient content (dracorhodin). Following extraction, drying process is usually carried out to dry the wet resin. For further study we arrange to analyze the local plants ingredients in Argosuko Village to strengthen product licensing.ĭragon blood’s resin is obtained by extracting the dragon blood’s fruit with organic or non-organic solvents. The high opportunity of Argosuko Village to improve their prosperity and economy are widely open, supported by the availability of materials (local plants) and the willingness of Argosuko people to trade its products. Besides the plant species survey, We also give knowledge about simplicia on how to process, how to package the products, and also how to make a license their products from simplicia.
The result showed that there are 30 species of plants that have the high potency to be converted into simplicia. Therefore, this research purposed to know the diversity of local plants that have a potency to be an additional income for local people of ArgosukoVillage, Poncokusumo District, Malang and also to improve and educate the local people on how to process the plant to be a simplicia. Simplicia is a dry form of the plant parts such as from seed, branch, leaf, root, flower or the fruit. The large population of farmers makes them have many of the plant commodities that can be used as medicinal plants or others such as drying to be simplicia. Village areas that classified as the poor or undeveloped places usually characterized by the majority of the population as farmers.
