ADSORBENT TEST OF ZEOLITE STONE AND LENGTH OF HEATING AGAINST SESAME OIL BLEACHING RESULTS

Abstract

Sesame (Sesamumindicum L.) is one of vegetable oil sources and it has low levels of saturated fatty acids making it safe for consumption. This study aims to determine the interaction between variety factors, zeolite doses, and heating time on the yield of sesame oil. The research method used is factorial completely randomized design consisting of 3 factors which wasrepeated 3 times. The first factor of variety is V1 (SBR 1); V2 (SBR 2); and V3 (SBR 3), while the second factor is the zeolite dose, Z1 (15%); Z2 (20%); and Z3 (25%), and the thirdfactor is heating time which areT1 (1 hour); T2 (2 hours); and T3 (3 hours). The results showed that there were interactions in the treatment of varieties and doses of zeolite to oil volume with the highest value in combination treatment (V1Z2) was 70.06 ml. Interaction also occurred in the treatment of varieties and heating duration of oil color before heating with the highest value on combination treatment (V1Z3) was 9.83.The oil flavor before heating with the highest value on combination treatment (V3T1) was 3.68. Separately, there are significant effects of variety factors, zeolite doses, and heating time on oil yield.
