Abstract

The study aimed to examine how UVe light treatment and different packaging types affect the quality of virgin coconut oil (VCO) during storage. The experiment involved two types of UV light with different wavelengths (253.7 and 352 nm) and intensities (325 and 396 lux), as well as various packaging bottles, including High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polypropylene (PP), and Polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Storage was accelerated under high-intensity light exposure at room temperature for 4-5 weeks, with weekly VCO quality analysis. The quality parameters assessed were moisture content (MC), free fatty acids (FFA), acid value (AV), iodine value (IV), peroxide value (PV), and saponification value (SV). The findings showed that higher light wavelength and intensity led to lower VCO quality, as indicated by increased quality parameters (MC, FFA, AV, IV, PV, SV), suggesting decreased quality. The study also concluded that the type of UV light and packaging significantly influence the storage stability of virgin coconut oil. Extended storage time has negatively affected VCO quality. Additionally, the type of packaging played a crucial role, with HDPE packaging being more effective in maintaining VCO quality.
