Telah dilakukan penelitian untuk mengetahui kualitas VCO sebagai minyak goreng yang dibuat dengan menggunakan metode pengadukan dengan adanya penambahan kemangi (Ocimum sanctum) serta perbandingannya dengan VCO tanpa penambahan kemangi. Parameter kualitas yang diuji yaitu bobot jenis, bilangan peroksida, dan asam lemak bebas (FFA). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan kemangi tidak memberikan pengaruh yang baik terhadap kualitas VCO karena kualitas VCO kontrol lebih baik dibandingkan VCO kemangi pada semua tahap penggorengan.A research had been conducted to determine the quality of VCO as cooking oil, prepared by mixing method, which was added with basil (Ocimum sanctum) and to compare it with VCO without basil. Parameters tested were specific weight, peroxide number, and free fatty acid. The results showed that the addition of basil did not give a good effect on the VCO quality which was reflected in the lower quality of basil-added VCO than that of VCO without basil at each frying stage.
