1. INTRODUCTION
The traditional processing of palm sugar in Malaysia is highly labor intensive, thus producing limited outcome to fulfill consumer demand. Although there are many emerging food technologies, none of them are implemented in the processing of palm sugar [1]. Most of active palm sugar researches worldwide are dealing with the quality and properties of the sugar itself [2-3], and only little of them deals with the processing to enhance the production [4]. The one with the efforts to increase the production is also not specifically meant for the production of pure palm sugar as being consumed in Malaysia and South East Asia, but more towards the derivation of similar product from sugarcane which is called jaggery [4]. Moreover, only small part of the research dealt with modern technology, thus there are many aspects which can be improved especially in cooking process. The lack of technology implementation in palm sugar production is due to unique characteristics of the cooked material and tedious procedure of the overall process. These factors have not been studied yet. Thus there is a need to do an intensive scientific study in addressing these factors in order to improve the productivity and sustainability of palm sugar production in this country. Study on new processing framework which utilizes potential of modern materials and technologies can be proposed. In initial research, cooking process is studied and reported in this paper.2. METHODOLOGY The stages in this research are as follows:
a. Data collection from traditional palm sugar industry b. Development of microcontroller and heating element for cooking process c. Design of cooking mechanism and analysis In data collection, temperature throughout palm sugar cooking process is recorded using thermocouple, while viscosity of the cooked substance is recorded using viscometer. Figure 1a shows the traditional palm sugar cooking process while Figure 1b shows a data collection procedure of palm sugar sample. a b Figure 1 a Traditional palm sugar cooking process; b Data collection of palm sugar sample The collected data is used for selection of electrical heater. Ceramic band heater is selected in this study. The electrical heater is controlled by using an Arduino UNO microcontroller. Figure 2 shows the designed electrical circuit in this study. Figure 2 Electrical circuit in this study A suitable cooking mechanism is designed to suit the proposed heating element. A standard design procedure is applied which consists of concept selection, house of quality, morphology chart, detailed solid modeling design as well as finite element analysis.
