The processed oil from the coconut plant is generally understood as coconut oil. A method is required to produce a product with a higher oil extraction rate and is able to reduce the water content and free fatty acids in the coconut oil production. It is also necessary to add substances that can delay or prevent fat oxidation reactions by generating substances in the form of antioxidants. The method that can be implemented is the enzymatic method employing the bromelain enzyme in a pineapple with the addition of an antioxidants substance from the kesum leaf. The objective of this research is to describe the quality of coconut oil after the addition of pineapple (ananas comosus) and kesum leaves (polygonus minus) extracts. The parameters for describing the quality of the oil are the organoleptic test, the degree of acidity, the oil extract rate, the peroxide number, the saponification number, and the acid number. This research is a quasi-experiment. The samples in this research were coconut oil without the addition of pineapple fruit extract, coconut oil with the addition of pineapple fruit extract without the addition of kesum leaves, and coconut oil with the addition of pineapple fruit extract and kesum leaves as much as 20gr, 30gr and 40gr. Based on the statistical results of the linear regression test, it was discovered that p-value = 0.000 <0.05, so it was concluded that there was an effect of the addition of pineapple fruit and leaves of kesum on acid number content with an effect of 76.4% on the acid number, 71.4% on the peroxide number, and 81.5% to the saponification number. It is recommended to test the water content, free fatty acids, and iodine number.

Conclusion

The addition of pineapple fruit and kesum leaves significantly affected the quality of coconut oil, specifically reducing the acid number, peroxide number, and saponification number.The study demonstrated that the addition of pineapple and kesum leaves had an effect of 76.4% on the peroxide number, and 81.Further research is recommended to examine additional quality parameters such as water content, free fatty acids, and iodine number to provide a more comprehensive assessment of the oils quality.

Future Research

Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, beberapa saran penelitian lanjutan dapat diajukan untuk memperdalam pemahaman mengenai efektivitas penggunaan ekstrak nanas dan daun kesum dalam meningkatkan kualitas minyak kelapa. Pertama, penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi dan mengoptimalkan konsentrasi ideal ekstrak nanas dan daun kesum yang dapat memberikan efek sinergis terhadap penurunan angka asam, angka peroksida, dan angka saponifikasi. Kedua, studi komparatif perlu dilakukan dengan membandingkan efektivitas kombinasi ekstrak nanas dan daun kesum dengan penggunaan antioksidan alami lainnya, seperti vitamin E atau ekstrak kunyit, untuk menentukan kombinasi yang paling efektif dalam mencegah oksidasi minyak kelapa. Ketiga, penelitian lanjutan dapat difokuskan pada analisis kandungan senyawa bioaktif spesifik dalam ekstrak nanas dan daun kesum yang berperan sebagai antioksidan, serta mekanisme aksi senyawa-senyawa tersebut dalam menghambat proses oksidasi lemak pada minyak kelapa. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan informasi yang lebih mendalam mengenai potensi pemanfaatan bahan-bahan alami sebagai alternatif pengganti antioksidan sintetik dalam industri pengolahan minyak kelapa, sehingga menghasilkan produk minyak kelapa yang lebih berkualitas dan aman bagi kesehatan.
