ANALISIS KINERJA PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL (PCM) LEMAK RAJUNGAN (Portunus pelagicus) UNTUK MEMPERTAHANKAN KESEGARAN MUTU UDANG PADA PENANGANAN UDANG DI ATAS KAPAL ALAT TANGKAP SCOOP NETS (SONDONG) DI PERAIRAN BANYUASIN
Shrimp is highly susceptible to quality degradation, particularly during handling on sondong fishing vessels in the Banyuasin waters. Flake ice, as a coolant, has limitations such as rapid melting and nutrient loss, which can compromise freshness. Waste oil from blue swimming crabs (Portunus pelagicus) has potential as a raw material for organic Bio-PCM (Phase Change Material) to maintain shrimp quality. This study aimed to design and evaluate Bio-PCM derived from crab oil using SEM-EDS, FTIR, and Thermal Conductivity Analyzer for characterization. Cooling performance was tested under three treatments: flake ice, pure Bio-PCM, and a combination of both (mix). Results showed that the Bio-PCM had a porous morphology and a melting point of approximately 2.9 °C, although the addition of carbon black did not significantly enhance its thermal conductivity. The mix treatment was most effective in reducing shrimp temperature (14.7 °C), air temperature (9.3 °C), and coolant temperature (6.9 °C), with a cooling effectiveness of -0.0467 °C/min. Organoleptic tests confirmed that the mix treatment produced the highest freshness score (8.4). Although the initial cost of Bio-PCM is higher, the combination with flake ice offers an optimal balance between performance and cost-efficiency, making it a promising solution for scoop nets fishers in preserving shrimp quality.
