Abstract

Sweet potatoes are the third staple food in Indonesia after rice and corn. Sweet potatoes do not have different harvest periods and there are many types, including sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas L) and cassava (Manihot esculenta), resulting in differences in physical and chemical properties. In this research, experiments were carried out using the Laser Induced Shockwave Plasma Spectroscopy (LISPS) technique using an Nd-YAG laser (1064 nm, 10 Hz) operated in Q-Switch mode on dried cassava and sweet potato samples. Research was conducted to identify and compare the chemical element content of the two sweet potato samples. The sample is placed in a chamber made of metal where the air pressure can be vacuumed and varied with a vacuum pump. Plasma is generated by focusing a laser beam (pulse) on the sample surface with a focusing lens through a window. Plasma radiation is detected using a spectrometer equipped with optical fiber. Plasma radiation is detected using a spectrometer equipped with optical fiber. The results obtained from the blood sample were the detection of elements namely calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), and magnesium (Mg).
