Abstract

The fatty acid composition of palm oil is the major factor influencing its physical and chemical properties. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the analytical performance of major fatty acids (palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid) analysis in palm oil. Triglycerides of palm oil were derivatized to fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) by using boron trifluoride (BF3) in methanol. FAMEs were determined by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID) using DB-23 capillary column as stationary phase. The studied parameters were instrument performance analysis, the efficiency of fatty acid derivatization, stability of derivatized analytes, accuracy, repeatability, intra-lab reproducibility, ruggedness, and method uncertainty. The evaluation results showed the instrument linearity at a working range of 5 to 40 mg/mL marked by coefficient of determination (R2) between 0.991-0.995. Instrument limits of detection (LOD) and instrument limits of quantification (LOQ) for 4 major fatty acids analysis were 26-35 µg/mLand 86-128 µg/mL, respectively. The increase of fatty acid concentration led to the decrease of derivatization efficiency in the fatty acids analysis. The result also showed that derivatized analytes were stable during 24 h storage at freeze temperature. The average recovery values by spiking method with the spiking concentration at 50 and 90 mg/g sample were at 75-94 % for stearic and linoleic acids analysis, however those for palmitic and oleic acids analysis were considered very low (<40 %), due to their low derivatization efficiency. Repeatability and intra-lab reproducibility of 4 major fatty acids analysis were at acceptable ranges, 0.45-1.38 % and 1.15-2.03 %, respectively. Determination by varying the volume of derivatizing agent showed the rugged method. Uncertainty of repeatability (Ur) and uncertainty of reproducibility (Ur) were ranged at 1.84-9.02 mg/g and 1.40-10.65 mg/g, respectively. This method was considerably reliable for the analysis of less abundance fatty acids in palm oil, stearic and linoleic acids.

Abstract

Analysis of calcium content in fresh milk generally uses Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). Alternatively, it could be analyzed using complexometric titration. The study aimed to validate the method of calcium content analysis in fresh milk by complexometric titration. The results showed that the linearity test using calcium standard solution at a working range of 4-24 mg/100 mL had R2 of 0.9983, while the limit of detection and limit of quantification were 0.47 mg/100 mL and 1.57 mg/100 mL, respectively. The accuracy by spiking method at the spiking concentration of 60 mg/100 mL sample was 99.29%. The repeatability and intra-lab reproducibility showed acceptable precision with CV value of 0.98% and 2.59%, respectively. The results of ruggedness test showed that this method was rugged to the variation of sample volume and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) concentration. This study proved that complexometric titration can be used to determine calcium content in fresh milk. ABSTRAKAnalisis kadar kalsium pada susu segar umumnya menggunakan Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) yang relatif mahal. Salah satu metode alternatif yang dapat digunakan adalah titrasi kompleksometri. Sampai sekarang, data validasi terhadap metode tersebut pada sampel susu segar belum tersedia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah memvalidasi metode analisis kadar kalsium pada susu segar secara titrasi kompleksometri. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan uji linearitas dengan menggunakan larutan standar kalsium pada rentang 4-24 mg/100 mL mempunyai nilai R2 sebesar 0,9983, sedangkan nilai batas deteksi dan batas kuantifikasi berturut-turut adalah 0,47 mg/100 mL dan 1,57 mg/100 mL. Nilai akurasi (recovery) sebesar 99,29% pada konsentrasi spiking 60 mg/100 mL sampel. Hasil penelitian atau metode uji yang divalidasi menunjukkan nilai keterulangan dan reprodusibilitas intralab yang baik dengan nilai CV analisis berturut-turut 0,98% dan 2,59%. Hasil uji ketangguhan menunjukkan metode ini bersifat tangguh (rugged) terhadap variasi volume sampel dan konsentrasi asam etilenadiaminatetraasetat (EDTA) yang digunakan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian tersebut, metode titrasi kompleksometri dapat digunakan untuk menentukan kadar kalsium pada susu segar.
