From result of data obtained for carotene is 291,0482 ppm and from result of data obtained for number of DOBI is 0,6198565. From the analysis of CPO on palm oil fruit waste is not in accordance with the quality standards set SNI,kk PORIM, SPB and Ordinary. SNI and PORIM quality standards are >2.93 on the number of DOBI.
