Proses Deodorisasi Sederhana pada Cocoa Butter Substitutes (CBS)

Abstract

It has been performed on a simple deodorization process for Cocoa Butter Substitutes (CBS) in Pusat Penelitian Kelapa Sawit (PPKS). The principle is refining deodorization of oil/fat with hot steam under atmospheric pressure or vacuum, where the parameters used are peroxide value and free fatty acid levels. Deodorization process succeeded where a decline in levels of free fatty acids, which is in the process of deodorization 0 hours to 4 hours in a row is 0.4783%, 0.4678%, 0.3289%, 0.31895%, and 0.23905%. As for the peroxide value in the process of deodorization 0 hours to 2 hours decreased and increased at 3 hours, then down the deodorization process data to 4 hours in a row 15.442 meq/kg, 12.0886 meq/kg, 11.2911 meq/kg, 12.2827 meq/kg, 12.2266 meq/kg.
