Analisis Asam Lemak Bebas dan Bilangan Yodium dari CPKO (Crude Palm Kernel Oil), RBDPKO (Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Kernel Oil), dan Lauric Acid. di Laboratorium Bea Cukai Kelas II Medan

Abstract

Research has been conducted on the analysis of Free Fatty Acids (FFA) and iodine numbers from Palm Kernel and its derivatives, namely CPKO (Crude Palm Kernel Oil), RBDPKO (Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Kernel Oil), and Lauric Acid at the Medan Class II Customs Laboratory. Research on the analysis of Free Fatty Acids (FFA) was carried out by alkalimetric titration method and iodine value by iodometric titration method. From the results of the research conducted, the value of Free Fatty Acids (FFA) in CPKO (Crude Palm Kernel Oil) with an average value of = 1.8%, RBPDKO (Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Kernel Oil) with an average value of = 0.084%, and lauric acid with an average value of = 125.40%. While the value of iodine in CPKO (Crude Palm Kernel Oil), with an average value of = 17.46 g, RBPDKO (Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Kernel Oil) with an average value of = 16.10 g, and lauric acid with an average value of = 0.47 g. The results of the analysis show that the palm kernel and its derivatives have met the standards. In addition, the high and low Free Fatty Acids (FFA) and iodine in Palm kernel products are influenced by the processing process.
