PENGEMBANGAN PROSES THERMOKIMIA UNTUK PENINGKATAN KONVERSI ASAM LEMAK MELALUI INTERFACIAL ACTIVATION LIPASE BUAH SEGAR KELAPA SAWIT DENGAN TUNING UP MENGGUNAKAN GELOMBANG MIKRO
Abstract: Nowadays, Indonesia
fulfill the demand of fatty acid by importing it, through Indonesia is one of
major producer of Crude Palm Oil (CPO), one of vegetable oil beside Palm Kernel
Oil (PKO) and Coconut Oil (CNO) that can be used as the raw material for the production
of fatty acid. In order to increase the added value of palm oil and to fulfill
the country demand of fatty acid, it is necessary, finding a new fatty acid
production process which is more efficient and more economial. Because palm oil
has a lipase enzyme that can hydrolyze the triglyceride of palm oil, it is urge
to study the technology of fatty acid production by utilize the lipase of palm
oil. The thermal protonation of microwave toward the fatty acid chain in enzyme
is the important matter, because enzyme will memorize the ionization condition
from aquatic solution before the dehydration process (enzyme’s pH memory).
Because of that, “the tuning” towards pH will fasten the hydrolysis rate. The
parameters of the research were reaction temperature, pH, power, ratio of
water-fruit, mechanical treatment and the milling of the palm oil as time
function.
