PENGARUH SUHU PADA PROSES PENGENDAPAN SANTAN KELAPA DALAM PEMBUATAN VIRGIN COCONUT OIL (VCO)

Indonesia is one of the large and wide countries that has a tropical climate because it located on equator. So there lot diversity plants live in areas, namely coconut plants. The fruit can be used as variety processed products, which oil. This study aims to analyze effect temperature deposition milk manufacture Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) determine value density, viscosity, aroma, color, flavor. research was conducted at Biology Laboratory University PGRI Palembang June 2022. method this experimental method. Data collection carried out then data testing Lab. Sriwijaya State Polytechnic Chemical Engineering. results showed for oil sample 800C density 0.918 or 0.92 gr/cm3 according SNI standard range 0.91-0.92 gr/ml, viscosity 57.26 mPa.s, color clear coconut, characteristic aroma oil, tasteless taste.
