Abstract

Crude palm oil (CPO) is the result of the production process of processing palm oil from fresh fruit bunches (FFB) of oil palm plantations. CPO is referred to as crude palm oil which is refined to become cooking oil for public consumption. The process of refining CPO to become cooking oil is carried out by the Refinery Bleaching Deodorize Palm (RBDP) Olein process. Researchers carried out variations of added ingredients in the RBDP Olein process to find out the quality results adjusted to SNI 01-0018-2006. The tests carried out were free fatty acids (ALB), water content (moisture), dirt content (dirt). By varying the added ingredients in the RBDP Olein process, differences in water content, impurities and free fatty acids are produced.
