Stabilitas Minyak Goreng Sawit Curah yang Difortifikasi dengan Vitamin A terhadap Fotooksidasi
Abstract
Degradation of vitamin A is affected by light. The objective of this research is making an analysis correlation between oxidative parameter in oil (peroxide and free fatty acid value) and vitamin A value. Palm oil fortified vitamin A with different initial peroxide value (0.00, 3.99, and 8.99 meq O2 active/kg oil) is used as samples. Photostability in oil is measured by keep the samples at different light exposure (5000, 10000, and 15000 lux). The result of this research showed that free faty acid is not a good parameter to decide shelf life of oil because its production is not affected by light. Shelf life of palm oil fortified vitamin A are 110.11 hours, 44.27 hours, and 16.34 hours for samples with initial peroxide value 0, 3.99, and 8.99 meq O2 active/kg oil. The most compatible palm oil-fortified vitamin A are palm oil with initial peroxide value 0.00 and 3.99 meq O2 active/kg oil.
