In this modern globalization era, human consider health as one of the most important thing in life. One of the health problems related to human digestion is gastrointestinal disorder which have been suffered by 10-19% human population in Indonesia and 3,14 billion human in the world. One of the syndromes experienced by human with gastrointestinal disorder is malabsorption of fat because fat digestion and absorption is a complex process. However, the human body still needs fat to dissolve vitamins A, D, E, and K, and also to help the human body to produce hormones. An alternative way for humans to get the benefits of fat is by consuming structured lipids. Structured lipids are triacylglycerols that have their fatty acids restructured. This research will determine the impact of structured lipid production from vegetable oil and input alternative for production process to minimalize emissions towards environmental impact. Structured lipid produced by coconut oil and Palm oil via enzymatic interesterification with the production capacity equals to 1.5 ton per batch, also environmental impacts analysis has been done by Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analysis to determine structured lipid production feasibility. The production of structured lipid has been done by SuperPro Designer software and LCA analysis has been done by ReCiPe method via OpenLCA software. The biggest environmental impacts produces from production of structured lipids are climate change in the amount of 13378 ton CO2, human toxicity in the amount of 3045 kg 1,4-DB and photochemical oxidant formation in the amount of 1923 kg NMVOC. The biggest environmental impacts produces from production of coconut oil and palm oil, also bleaching process. The alternative way to minimize the emission are using liquid natural gas or bagasse/coconut shell waste as fuel and activated carbon from press mud waste for adsorbent to substitute bleaching earth for bleaching process.
