Based on analysis for the iodine value of Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Stearin from Dumai 30,74 g I2/100 g,more high than comparison Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Stearin from Padang 30,16 g I2/100 g and Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Stearin from Belawan 30,24 g I2/100 g. Hasil analisis bilangan iodin dari Crude Palm Stearin from Dumai 32,80 g I2/100 g ,more high than comparison Crude Palm Stearin from Padang 31,18 g I2/100 gr and Crude Palm Stearin from Belawan 31,16gr I2/100 g.
