Abstract

Studies have been conducted on the analysis of the levels of free fatty acids (FFA) and water content of crude palm oil (CPO) on the unit at the factory vacuum drier Socfin Indonesian oil palm plantation land PT psaltery. The study was conducted through direct observation in the palm oil mill and through analysis examples of palm oil prodused in the laboratory by taking parameter quality as an object of analysis. Factors that affect the quality of palm oil harvesting them on time, the process of collecting and transporting the fruit, and the degree of ripeness of the fruit during processing in the factory. Levels of FFA and water content aretaken from the analyzed sample of oil production in a row is 1.81-2.28% and 0.11- 0.14%, levels of FFA and water content were determined by the maximum factory 2.30% and 0.15%. Then the value of the FFA content and water content that it meets the factory standards.
