The driving force for adulteration is to cut cost and to increase profit. However, in
the case of adulteration using animal oils, this would also affect in terms of
consumers beliefs and practice such as for Hindus, vegans and vegetarians, Jews and
Muslims. For Muslims, adulteration using lard (LD) or improperly slaughtered
animal oils is of significant issue. Detecting adulteration in fats and oils especially
the high-value oils such as virgin coconut oil (VCO) is indeed needed. The attempt
to find the most effective, simple, chemical-free and straightforward analysis without
compromising the sensitivity and specificity is essential. Therefore, the overall
objective of this study is to apply these three instruments, namely differential
scanning calorimeter (DSC), electronic nose/ fast gas-chromatography (fast GC) and
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to detect LD adulterations in VCO.
VCO is prepared through the ‘wet’ and ‘dry’ methods, while LD was rendered from
adipose tissue of pig using microwave oven. In the first phase, the VCO samples
were characterized and analyzed physicochemically. The results showed that in
general all VCO samples conformed to the Asian and Pacific Coconut Community

(APCC, 2003) and does not differ strikingly from each other. Subsequently, samples
of VCO and LD were mixed in different concentration (v/v). Each sample admixtures
were subjected to analysis of fast GC, FTIR and DSC. Some chemical analyses were
performed such as iodine value (IV) and peroxide value (PV). In addition, fatty acid
(FA) and triacylglycerol (TAG) analyses were also conducted using gas
chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC), respectively, as the control experiments. Simple linear
regression on fast GC data demonstrated that three peaks on the fast GC
chromatogram were found to fit the second order polynomial curve with R2 of
0.8121, 0.8349 and 0.9344, respectively. Partial least square (PLS) from FTIR
spectroscopy was able to predict LD adulteration in VCO with the equation y =
0.999x + 0.006. Meanwhile, DSC showed that Te A (endset peak A) in the
endothermic curve and Tr D (temperature range for peak D) in the exothermic curve
were found to have good predictor ability in determining percentage LD adulteration
in VCO with the equation from step 2 of stepwise multiple linear regression
(SMLR); % LD adulteration = 293.1 – 11.36 (Te A) – 2.17 (Tr D) and R2 adjusted of
95.82. To conclude, all three techniques were able to detect LD in VCO with ease
and without the use of chemicals.

Pendorong utama terhadap pencemaran dalam makanan adalah untuk mengurangkan
kos dan meningkatkan keuntungan. Namun begitu, pencemaran lemak haiwan akan
menjejaskan amalan kepercayaan sesetengah penganut beragama Hindu, vegan dan
‘vegetarian’, penganut agama Yahudi dan juga Muslim. Bagi penganut Islam,
penggunaan lemak khinzir (LK) ataupun penggunaan lemak haiwan yang tidak
disembelih secara sah merupakan isu yang penting. Pengesanan pencemaran di
dalam lemak dan minyak terutamanya minyak yang bernilai tinggi seperti Minyak
Kelapa Dara (MKD) memang diperlukan. Percubaan untuk menemui teknik yang
paling efektif, mudah dan tidak menggunakan bahan kimia tanpa mengurangkan
sensitiviti dan spesifisiti adalah sangat-sangat diperlukan. Oleh itu, objektif
keseluruhan kajian ini adalah untuk menggunakan Pembezaan Pengimbasan
Kalorimeter (PPK), hidung elektronik/ Kromatografi-gas pantas (KG pantas) dan
Pengubah Fourier Inframerah (PFIM) spektroskopi untuk mengesan kehadiran LK di
dalam MKD. MKD telah disediakan melalui proses ‘kering’ dan ‘basah’, manakala

LK dihasilkan daripada ketuhar gelombang mikro. Pada fasa pertama, sampel-
sampel MKD ini dianalisa sifat fizikal dan kimianya dan didapati bahawa secara
keseluruhannya semua MKD yang dihasilkan adalah mengikut kriteria yang
diberikan oleh Persatuan Kelapa Asian dan Pasifik (APCC, 2003) dan tidak berbeza
antara satu sama lain secara keterlaluan. Sampel-sampel MKD dan LK kemudiannya
dicampur dalam pelbagai kepekatan (v/v). Setiap sampel dianalisa oleh GK pantas,
PFIM dan PPK. Analisis kimia juga telah dijalankan ke atas sampel-sampel ini
seperti nilai iodin dan nilai peroksida. Analisis asid lemak (AL) dan triasilgliserol
(TAG) juga dilakukan menggunakan kromatografi gas-pengesan pengionan nyala
(KG-PPN) dan juga Kromatografi Cecair Berprestasi Tinggi (KCBT) sebagai
eksperimen kawalan. Analisa Regresi Linear Mudah pada data KG pantas
menunjukkan bahawa tiga puncak di kromatogram KG pantas serasi dengan
lengkungan polinomial aturan kedua dengan R2 0.8121, 0.8349 dan 0.9344. Statistik
Persegi Separa Terkecil (PST) daripada PFIM juga dapat meramalkan LK di dalam
MKD dengan persamaan matematik y = 0.999x + 0.006. Disamping itu, PPK
menunjukkan bahawa Te A (suhu akhiran puncak A) dan Tr D (perbezaan suhu
puncak D) pada keluk eksoterma dapat mengesan peratus LK di dalam MKD dengan
persamaan matematik daripada langkah kedua statistik Regresi Linear Berbilang
Langkah (RLBL); yakni % percampuran LK = 293.1 – 11.36 (Te A) – 2.17 (Tr D) dan
penyesuaian R2 = 95.82. Sebagai kesimpulan, ketiga-tiga teknik ini berjaya untuk
mengsan kehadiran LK di dalam MKD dengan mudah dan tanpa menggunakan
bahan kimia.
