Abstract
Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) mengandung asam-asam lemak jenuh rantai pendek yang bermanfaat bagi tubuh, namun asam-asam lemak tersebut juga berpotensi meningkatkan kolesterol dalam tubuh. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh penambahan papain terhadap kuantitas dan kualitas VCO yang dihasilkan dan untuk mengetahui pengaruh konsumsi VCO terhadap kolesterol total darah pada tikus. Pada penelitian ini VCO dibuat secara enzimatis dengan enzim proteolitik berupa enzim papain. Enzim papain disadap dari papaya yang kemudian dimurnikan dengan kromatografi kolom gradien elusi. VCO dalam percobaan dilakukan uji kuantitas berupa rendemen, uji kualitas berupa uji penampakan fisik, pengukuran densitas, pengukuran kadar air, dan analisis asam lemak menggunakan instrumen GC-MS, serta uji in vivo berupa pengujian asupan VCO terhadap perubahan kolesterol darah tikus. Hasil yang didapatkan adalah VCO yang dibuat dengan penambahan papain memiliki rendemen lebih tinggi dengan rendemen tertinggi pada VCO yang dibuat dengan penambahan papain kasar yaitu 23,33% dibandingkan dengan VCO kontrol yaitu 6,67%. VCO yang dibuat dengan penambahan papain juga memberikan kualitas yang tidak jauh berbeda, bahkan kualitasnya lebih baik dibandingkan VCO kontrol. Pada uji in vivo, VCO memberikan efek penurunan kadar kolesterol total darah tikus, namun setelah dianalisis dengan aplikasi SPSS memberikan nilai signifikansi lebih dari 0,05 (p > 0,05) yang berarti tidak ada perbedaan bermakna. Dengan demikian penambahan papain dapat meningkatkan kuantitas VCO dan tidak berdampak buruk terhadap kualitas VCO yang dihasilkan, serta dapat memberikan efek penurukan kadar kolesterol total darah namun tidak signifikan secara statistik.

Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) contains short-chain saturated fatty acids that beneficial, but they also have the potential to increase blood cholesterol. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adding papain on the quantity and quality of VCO produced and the influence of VCO consumption on rats’ blood cholesterol. In this study, VCO was prepared enzymatically using papain as the proteolytical enzyme. The papain enzyme tapped from papaya then purified by chromatography elution gradient column. The quantity test of the VCO was determined by the percentage of recovery, while the quality assays were done in form of physical appearance, density, water content, fatty acids by GC-MS, and in vivo test to know the effect of VCO intake on the rat’s blood cholesterol. The results indicated that the VCO made with the addition of papain had higher recovery yield, with the highest yield of 23.33%, than the VCO prepared without the addition of crude papain (VCO control) with the yield of 6.67%. Moreover, VCO obtained with the addition of papain provided not much different quality, even better, than the VCO control. The in-vivo test showed that VCO gave a decreasing effect on rat’s blood cholesterol, but after being analyzed with SPSS it gave significance value more than 0.05 which meant that there was no significant difference. Thus the addition of papain could increase the VCO quantity and not make a bad impact on the VCO quality as well as provide a decreasing effect on the total blood cholesterol but not statistically significant.
