Abstract

Abstract: Waste cooking oil contains carcinogenic compounds which are formed during the frying process. The content change makes it is not worth for reuse cooking oil. One of the damages to cooking oil is caused by heating. The quality of useable oil refers to SNI 01-3741-2013. The sample used in this research is waste cooking oil that is used for 5 times of frying. The quality of the oil can be improved using Nano-Montmorillonite adsorbent. The results of PSA and FTIR characterization show that Nano-Montmorillonite has a nano-scale particle size of 15.3 nm with a percentage of 6%. The rest are particles that have a size> 100 nm with a total percentage of 94% with a respective size of 383.9 nm with a percentage of 59% and 6647.1 nm with a percentage of 35% and have functional groups, namely hydroxyl (-OH), Si-O-Si and Al-Al-OH. Testing of waste cooking oil quality includes organoleptic, acid numbers, peroxide numbers, and saponification numbers using Nano-Montmorillonite. Based on the results, the more Nano-Montmorillonite adsorbent was added, the lower the numbers of acid, peroxide, and saponification in waste cooking oil and the better the quality of flavor and color. Based on this analysis, Nano-Montmorillonite adsorbent can improve the quality of waste cooking oil.Abstrak: Minyak jelantah mengandung senyawa yang bersifat karsinogenik yang terbentuk selama proses penggorengan. Perubahan sifat ini menjadikan minyak goreng tersebut tidak layak digunakan kembali sebagai bahan makanan. Salah satu kerusakan pada minyak goreng disebabkan oleh pemanasan. Kualitas minyak layak pakai merujuk pada SNI 01-3741-2013. Sampel minyak yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah  minyak jelantah dengan 5 kali penggorengan. Kualitas minyak tersebut dapat ditingkatkan menggunakan adsorben Nano-Montmorillonit. Berdasarkan hasil karakterisasi PSA dan FTIR menunjukkan bahwa Nano-Montmorillonit memiliki ukuran partikel berskala nano yaitu 15,3 nm dengan persentase sebesar 6% dan sisanya merupakan partikel yang memiliki ukuran > 100 nm dengan total persentase 94% dengan ukuran masing-masing sebesar 383,9 nm dengan persentase 59% dan 6647,1 nm dengan persentase 35%serta memiliki gugus-gugus fungsional yaitu hidroksil (-OH), Si-O-Si dan Al-Al-OH. Pengujian kualitas minyak jelantah meliputi organoleptik, bilangan asam, bilangan peroksida dan bilangan penyabunan menggunakan Nano-Montmorillonit. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian maka semakin banyak jumlah adsorben Nano-Montmorilonit yang ditambahkan maka bilangan asam, bilangan peroksida, bilangan penyabunan mengalami penurunan serta kualitas aroma dan warna pada minyak jelantah menjadi lebih baik. Berdasarkan analisis tersebut adsorben Nano-Montmorillonit dapat meningkatkan kualitas minyak jelantah.
