A research has been conducted on the adsorption ability of rice husk ash to water content and free fatty acid of virgin coconut oil (VCO) in the adsorption column. The objective of this research is to get the ratio of coarse VCO to rice husk ash adsorbent in the column that produces VCO with water content, free fatty acid that meets SNI and yields VCO yield not less than 80%. This study used a completely randomized factorial design (CRF design) with the effect of the amount of rice husk ash adsorbent (5g, 10g, 15g, 20g, 25g) in in columns 2.5 and 3 inches. The result of research on column 2.5 inch of the lowest water content (0.2%) was found on the weight of rice husk ash 25g and free fatty acid content on 25g ash husk ash was 0.1%. And at column 3.0 inch the lowest water content was found on 25g ash husk ash 0.1%, and the lowest free fatty acid content on ash weight of rice husk 25g was 0.2% and the best yield was 90%. Keywords: free fatty acid, rice husk ash adsorbent, moisture content, Virgin Coconut Oil
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
