Abstract

In soy sauce industry, coconut sugar is one of the raw material that has the biggest contribution on determining soy sauce finish product's quality through its flavour and taste. When producing soy suce, there are lots of coconut sugar that stick to its packaging material so that it can't be used to produce soy sauce anymore. This problem results big number of loss. To decrease or eliminate this loss, the research about characteristic changing during the Pangandaran's coconut sugar supply chain is needed. This research conducted in three phases. The f ~ spth ase is perceiving coconut sugar's condition and characteristic at Pangandaran's coconut sugar supplier, start fiom collecting the sap (nira), cooking the sap, through saving the coconut sugar in wholesaler's storage. Next phase is perceiving coconut sugar's condition and characteristic in soy sauce industry, start from the day that coconut sugar arrive at the factory until the coconut sugar is ready to cook as soy sauce's raw material. The last phase is analyzing the coconut sugar's characteristic which include physics and chemical analysis. The physics and chemical analysis which is done is consist the water content, pH, Total plate count, and the percentage of dirt analysis.
