ABSTRACT
NEHEMIA AGUS WIJAYA. Β-caroten Retention in Non-branded Palm Oil
Fortified with Caroten from Red Palm Olein (RPO). Under the supervision of SRI
ANNA MARLIYATI.
The aim of this study was to examine the retention of -carotene in nonbranded palm oil fortified with caroten from RPO. This study began with analyzed
the nutrient content, physical properties and chemical quality of RPO, followed by
fortified the non-branded palm oil with caroten from RPO that equivalent with 45
IU of vitamin A and followed by analysis of the physical properties, chemical
quality, and fatty acid profile. Once that it was done, repeated of tofu frying with

non-branded palm oil fortified with RPO and calculation of the -carotene content
in the fried tofu as well as its contribution to the needs of vitamin A were
done. The results of this research showed that the RPO contents of -carotene
was 356 mcg/gram. Fatty acids in the RPO was dominated by fatty acids palmitic
(16:0) and oleic fatty acid (18:1). The viscosity of RPO was 56.5 cP. The color of
RPO was red with the degree of Hue 27.74. Peroxide number in RPO was 2.54
μeq/kg with a value of 0.12% palmitic acid. Recovery from RPO fortification was
107.06%. Retention of -caroten in the first frying phase of non-branded palm oil
was 70,57%, the second was 41.83% and 14.05% for the third. The results of
analysis of variance showed that repeated frying made a significant difference (p
0.05).
