| dc.description.abstract | Robusta coffee on the Slope of Mount Argopuro Jember Regency is cultivated through
direct guidance by the Department of Agriculture, Plantation and Forestry sub-sector, Jember
Regency. One of the obstacles was post-harvest constraints, that there was still a low quality of
coffee because one of the main processing processes was in Badean Village, Bangsalsari District,
Jember Regency. Improving the physical quality of Robusta coffee was done to obtain the
physical quality attributes of green bean Robusta coffee by using the Quality Function
Deployment (QFD) method, thus the priority actions can be taken on the technical response so
that policy proposals should be taken by producers to improve product quality. The results
obtained were the quality attributes that were the priority for improving the physical quality of
Robusta coffee including uniformity in size, size of coffee beans, shape of coffee beans, weight
of coffee beans, color brightness, intensity of broken beans, presence or absence, cleanliness of
coffee beans, and moisture content. Then the prioritized quality attributes to be improved were
attributes of water content, intensity of broken seeds, cleanliness of coffee beans, uniformity of
size, and brightness of colors by improving technical responses sequentially based on rankings,
seed sorting, drying, hulling, fruit picking, spindle sorting and breaking logs. | en_US |
