Pengaruh Konsentrasi Minyak Kelapa Murni (Virgin Coconut Oil) dan Minyak Jarak (Castor Oil) terhadap Sifat Fisikokimia dan Organoleptik Sabun Mandi Cair
Abstract: VCO contains of
lauric acid that perform to smooth and to moisturize the skin. Castor oil has
ricinoleic acid that serves to protect the skin. Therefore, both of the oil are
suitable to be the raw material for liquid soap making. This study aimed were
to produce a liquid soap, to determine the exact concentration of VCO and
castor oil for liquid soap and to find out the effect of VCO and Castor Oil
concentrations to the characteristics of liquid soap. The method used was
laboratory experimental method with descriptive analysis. The treatments in
this study were A =concentrations of VCO 100 %, B = concentrations of VCO 80 %
and castor oil 20 %, C = concentrations of VCO 50 % and castor oil 50 %, D =
concentrations of VCO 20 % and castor oil 80 %, and E = concentrations of
castor oil 100 %, from 200 gram soap
base. The parameter observed for liquid soap included chemical properties,
physical properties of soap, and organoleptic test. The result shows that all
treatments complies the requirement SNI 06-4085-1996. The formula of liquid
soap with treatment B was revealed as the best product with 0.01 % of total
alkali content, pH value of 9.16 , specific gravity 1.06, and total plate count
5colonies/g. This technology process of natural liquid soap production with the
VCO and castor oil could be develop and apply in industrial scale.
