| Popis: | Hexane is non-polar solvent and it can dissolve triglyceride and free fatty acid. The aim of this research is to get the hexane ratio to the glycerolysis product that can produce product that has the best characteristics. The study was conducted in five stages. In the first stage, the physicochemical properties of palm oil were analysed. In the second stage, palm oil glycerolysis was conducted. In the third stage, glycerolysis product was extracted by using hexane in various concentrations. In the following stage, physicochemical properties of extracted products were analysed. In the last stage, data were subjected to an analysis of variance. Results showed that ratio between glycerolysis product to hexane in this work did not significantly (α=0.05) affect the yield, the free glycerol content, and the ability of extracted products to reduce the surface tension of water. It was also found that the best treatment had yield of 28.5%. It was able to lower water surface tension from 72.00 to 31.80 dynes/cm and had free glycerol content of 2.40%. Base on this work, we found that further research need to be done. |
