Perbandingan Komposisi Asam Lemak Vco (Virgin Coconut Oil) Dari Buah Kelapa (Cocos Nucifera L.) Yang Tumbuh Di Sungai Salak Dan Tanjung Pidada Kabupaten Indragiri Hilir
Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is a commodity that can grow in the tropics and almost all parts of the coconut plant can be utilized by humans. VCO (Virgin Coconut Oil) is pure coconut oil that is produced from the flesh of fresh old coconuts. The composition of fatty acids in virgin coconut oil is very important to see the quality of the oil. The purpose of this study was to compare the fatty acid composition of VCO from coconuts grown in Sungai Salak and Tanjung Pidada villages. Parameters were observed on environmental factors, fruit quality, and fatty acid composition. The results of the study on the fatty acid composition of VCO from the Salak River and Tanjung Pidada contained saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids. Compounds that include saturated fatty acids are lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, capric acid, caprylic acid, stearic acid, caproic acid, while unsaturated fatty acids are oleic acid and linoleic acid. VCO from coconut that grows in the Salak River and Tanjung Pidada has the same type of fatty acid but the content of each fatty acid is different. VCO from Salak River contains lauric acid (52.41%) and caprylic acid (9.83%) higher than Tanjung Pidada. Myristic acid (16.77%), capric acid (6.46%), stearic acid (2.04%), and caproic acid (0.50%) were lower than Tanjung Pidada. The quality of coconuts from Tanjung Pidada is greater in fruit and seeds and thick flesh than the Salak River. The VCO yield of Tanjung Pidada (18.3%) is smaller than the Salak River (19.2%).
