Abstract
The duration of the VCO oil extraction process affects quality. The centrifugation method produces high VCO quality but requires expensive in investment and operational costs. The acidification method with solar heat was produced VCO, but it took quite a long time (8-12 hours) with the success rate depending on the weather. This study aims to increase the success rate of acidification with a solar heat method through the use of solar heater. It also compares it with the standard of coconut oil quality requirements in SNI 01-2902-2001. The study was conducted in Malonas Village in 2016 involving 15 women farmers. The VCO was analyzed at the BB Pascapanen Laboratory, Bogor. The acidification/chemistry method of VCO was tested in a solar heater and without it. The incubation process is carried out by observing the temperature, yield and drying time. VCO was tested for the percentage content of free fatty acids (FFA), yield, visual and aroma test. The result was decreased in processing time in separation coconut milk to oil, water, and blondo from 8.30 hours ± 0.51 (without solar heater) to 3.45 hours ± 0.16. Oil yield increased by 0.9% and the FFA level was below SNI standard and APCC.
