Rubber seed oil are not currently used optimally, due to the high content of cyanide and free fatty acid. Cyanide can be derived by soaking process, and free fatty acid can be decreased by addition of noni extract. This research aims to study the effect of noni extract for the quality of rubber seed oil. Research method used Completely Randomized Design which consists of 4 treatments and each treatment was repeated 4 times. Treatments of noni extract addition were 40%, 45%, 50%, and 55% of the total weight material. Data were statistically analyzed by using Analysis of Variance and continued with Duncan New Multiple Range Test at 5% level. Results of the analysis showed that the addition of noni extract was significantly effected on cyanide, acid number, specific gravity, and peroxide value, but not significantly effected on smell and colour of rubber seed oil. Based on this research, the best treatment was 55% noni extract addition which had average content of cyanide 0.50 ppm, specific gravity 0.86 g/ml, acid number 4.33 mg KOH/g, and peroxide value 0.64 meq/kg. Sensory assessment of rubber seed oil by panelist showed that the oil had a rancid smell and golden yellow colour.
