Abstract

The purpose of this study was to obtain instruments and methods developed to obtain more accurate measurement results of potassium concentration in bananas, so an instrument that has high sensitivity is needed. One of these instruments utilizes the principle of electromagnetic wave phenomena which is made by an optical sensor system equipped with the use of optical fiber for waveguides to maintain the stability of its intensity. The fiber optic instrument bundles in the optical sensor system to determine the potassium concentration in the hope that this instrument can provide accurate measurement results and better sensor sensitivity. Samples of various banana extracts, namely Great Banana, Cavendish Bananas, Green Banana, Kepok Banana, Plantain, dan Ulin Banana, dan Milk Banana. The sample of potassium solution in the lower vessel has a flat mirror reflecting laser light which has been through the absorption process by the sample solution. The reflected helium-neon laser beam is channeled through the optical fiber receiver to measure the change in wave intensity using an optical detector. The intensity of the reflected laser beam is read by an optical detector and converted to an electrical energy display by measuring the maximum voltage using a digital voltmeter. The results showed that the order of potassium content obtained from this measurement from the highest to the lowest was Great Banana, Cavendish Bananas, Green Banana, Kepok Banana, Plantain, and Ulin Banana, and Milk Banana. Cancer is one of the leading causes of death globally, claiming ten million lives in 2020.
