Candlenut (Aleurites moluccana (L.) wild) is a plant of the Euphorbiceae family. Candlenut oil is obtained by extracting the oil content in candlenut seeds. Soxhlation is an effective method for solvent extraction, ensuring continuous contact between the solvent and the material to extract the oil efficiently while maintaining the purity of the solvent. In this study, optimization of candlenut oil extraction was carried out using the factorial experimental design level 23. Using this method, it can be determined that the extraction time is the most influential variable in the candlenut oil extraction process. The results showed that the optimum operating conditions were an extraction time of 185 min, a candlenut seed powder size of 20 mesh, and a ratio of material-solvent ratio of 1:6 g/g, resulting in an oil yield of 43.2%. The analysis of candlenut oil conducted at an extraction time of 185 min revealed the following results: a refractive index value of 1.4736, a moisture content of 0.08% bb/b, which complies with the standard SNI 01-4462-1998 for candlenut oil, a viscosity of 15.47 Cp, and a density of 0.869 g/mL. The analysis of the free fatty acid number of 2.4%bb/b and saponification number of 181.55 mg KOH/g is not consistent with SNI 01-4462-1998 candlenut oil.

Sunflower seed oil is one type of vegetable oil whose growth is still in its early stages in Indonesia. Due to a shortage of domestic availability, several edible oil enterprises in Indonesia still need to import a significant amount of sunflower seed oil. Rukmana (2004) states that the content of sunflower oil's content ranges from 23 to 45%. 11.7% oleic acid and 44-72% linoleic acid are both present in sunflower oil. The goal of this study was to identify the best process factors in light of the obtained oil yield. This study's used Fractional Design Experiment 23 with Quicker Method analysis. The results showed that the optimal operating conditions were an extraction time of 185 min, temperature of 60 ℃, and material-solvent ratio of (R) of 1:6, yielding an oil of 51.6%.

This study aims to optimize the extraction of papaya seed oil (Carica papaya L.) using a factorial design level 2. Papaya seeds are a significant component of the fruit, comprising approximately 14.3% of the total fruit weight. These seeds contain about 25% vegetable oil, predominantly composed of unsaturated fatty acids, which have the potential to be processed into consumable oil. The extraction method employed is Soxhlet extraction using a non-polar solvent, n-hexane. A factorial design level 23 was utilized to determine the most influential process variables. The variables were considered to the ratio of papaya seed mass to solvent volume (1:7 and 1:11), particle size (10 and 30 mesh), and extraction time (170 and 190 min). Optimization was conducted using the quicker method calculation, where the determination of the largest effect and the largest main effect played a crucial role. The analysis revealed that the ratio of papaya seed mass to solvent volume had the most significant main effect, with an effect value of 0.1217. From the analysis, it was found that the 1:7 ratio produced the lowest level of Free Fatty Acids (FFA) in the oil, at 0.5076%, which aligns with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) requirement of 0.36-0.82% FFA content. Furthermore, an analysis of density, viscosity, and moisture content was conducted on the 1:7 ratio. The test results showed that the 1:7 ratio resulted in an oil density of 0.924 g/mL, moisture content of 0.07127%, and FFA content of 0.5076%. However, based on theoretical knowledge, an increase in FFA content leads to a decrease in oil quality. Additionally, higher ratios corresponded to increased moisture content and density. In conclusion, the papaya seed oil produced in this study complies with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI, 01-3555-1998) regarding FFA content (0.36-0.82%), moisture content (maximum 0.15%), and density (0.924-0.929 g/mL).

The growing population affects an increasing number of Indonesian people, influencing their rice consumption and encouraging Indonesia to import rice. One of the alternatives is to use raw materials such as potential non-rice tubers. In this study, raw material composite flour was made from cassava (Manihot esculenta), gembili (Dioscorea esculenta), koro pedang (Canavalia ensiformis), and corn (Zea mays), which is the basic ingredient of rice maker analog. This research aimed to examine the influence of the raw material composition on the value of nutrients, the physical-chemical properties of analog rice compared to a rice paddy, and the best temperature of analog rice using organoleptic tests. The process of producing analog rice consists of several stages of research, including the manufacturing of composite flour, the cooking of dough with composite flour, the production of analog rice, and the drying of analog rice. Based on the results, samples of 5 (60% cassava flour, 5% gembili flour, 10% koro pedang, and 25% corn flour) as an analog of rice with the best formulations in various compositions. Based on a proximate analysis of the effect of temperature, a temperature of 75 °C is the optimum temperature for the extrusion process. The results of the physical analysis of the best analog rice in this study have a density of 0.46 g/mL, water absorption of 60.52%, and a cooking time is 46 minutes. The analog rice has the same texture, aroma, and appearance as rice in general, although the rice from the analog composite flour tends to have a savory flavor arising from koro pedang. According to the results of this study, the analog rice could be used as a substitute to lessen dependence on paddy rice.
