Abstract

Coconut oil is one of the vegetable oils widely used in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries due to its high content of saturated fatty acids, particularly lauric acid. This study was conducted on the effect of coconut oil processing methods on the characteristics of the resulting coconut oil. Three processing methods were applied: non-heating, fermentation, and direct heating. A transesterification step was carried out to determine the fatty acid profile and its derivatives. The characterization of coconut oil compounds included measurements of density, acid value, peroxide value, and ester value, as well as analysis of fatty acid compounds using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that the best method for producing coconut oil was the non-heating process, with the following physicochemical properties: yield of 13.5%, acid value of 0.20 mg KOH/g, peroxide value of 2.00 meq/kg, and ester value of 223.28 mg KOH/g. The main components identified from the transesterified coconut oil were dodecanoic acid methyl ester (methyl laurate), methyl tetradecanoate, and hexadecanoic acid methyl ester.

Abstract

Research has been carried out on the effect of a catalyst on the yield of transesterification reactions. Pure coconut oil is made mechanically without heating using fresh coconut meat or what is called non-copra, followed by a base-catalyzed transesterification reaction using KOH and NaOH. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the catalyst on the yield of the transesterification reaction. The results of the reaction were analyzed by determining the physico-chemical properties and analysis of Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-SM). The results showed that the average reaction yield with KOH catalyst was 74.3% and 70% NaOH catalyst. The most dominant GC-SM identification results were ethyl caproate 4.12%, ethyl capricate 4.99%, ethyl laurate 54.97%, ethyl myristate 18.49%, ethyl palmitate 8.13%, 9.12 octadecatrin-1-ol 5.24% and ethyl strearate 2.28%.
