Abstract

Waste cooking oil is cooking oil that has been used repeatedly. Indiscriminate disposal of used cooking oil has the potential to pollute soil and water. If used cooking oil is not managed properly, it can seep into the soil and cause the soil to become infertile. Efforts can be made to reduce the negative impact of used cooking oil by converting used cooking oil into raw materials for making aromatherapy candles. This study aims to utilize waste cooking oil as a base material for making candles with arabica coffee aroma and to obtain a formula that has good physical evaluation results. This type of research is pure experiment. This research was conducted by making three formulas with different ratios of used cooking oil and stearic acid, namely formula I (1:1), formula II (1:4) and formula III (3:5). Data were not normally distributed (α<0.05) so it was continued using the Kruskal-Wallis test to compare between groups with 95% confidence level. Based on the evaluation of physical properties, namely organoleptic test, melting point test and burn time test, formula III showed good physical properties compared to formula I and formula II. Formula III (3:5) produced solid candles, no cracks, homogeneous dark brown color, highest melting point 55.33 ± 0.33 SE, longest burning time 253.45 ± 8.13 compared to formula I and II. The combination of waste cooking oil and stearic acid has a significant effect on burn time. Overall, the aromatherapy candle preparations produced have meets the SNI criteria for candle preparations.

Abstract

Coffee is a plant that has benefits that can reduce stress when applied to aromatherapy candles. There are two most popular types of coffee: robusta coffee (Coffea canephora), which has a more intense taste and aroma, and arabica coffee (Coffea arabica), which has a lighter taste and aroma. This research aimed to compare the physical properties of robusta coffee (FR) and arabica coffee (FA) aromatherapy candle preparations. The formulation of aromatherapy candle preparations had a paraffin base (10%), stearin, and composition of coffee oil and coffee powder, 2% and 2.5% for formula 1 and 10% and 10% for formula 2. Organoleptically, the candle was solid, not cracked, and had the color brown to black. The aroma of formula 1 was weak, and the aroma of formula 2 was strong, typical of coffee aroma. The burning time for candles with an average weight of 8.52 grams for each group for formulas 1 and 2 FA was 11.45 minutes and 10.04 minutes, while FR was 11.57 minutes and 9.57 minutes. The melting point for aromatherapy candles was an average of 52–54 °C. This value meets the criteria for candle preparations based on SNI. A comparison of the formulas for aromatherapy candle preparations had a significant effect on the weight and burning time of aromatherapy candle preparations. Overall, the coffee candle aromatherapy meets the SNI criteria for candle preparations.
