| Summary: | Soap is a fatty acid salt that functions as a cleanser. According to the National
Standardization Agency, soap is composed of fatty acids with carbon chains ranging from
C12 to C18 and Sodium/Potassium. Soap generally contains surfactants, one of which is
cocamidopropil betaine, which can be produced from fatty acid methyl ester (FAME)
derived from coconut oil. Indonesia is one of the largest producers of coconut oil in the
world, but the production of cocamidopropil betaine from this raw material is still unable
to meet the cosmetic industry's demand in this country. This research aims to produce
cocamidopropil betaine from fatty acid methyl ester of coconut oil. The production of
cocamidopropil betaine in this research will be conducted by varying two independent
variables, namely the temperature and the nitrogen flow rate of amidation. The variations
in amidation reaction temperature used are 145°C, 160°C, and 175°C. The nitrogen flow
rate variations to be used are 50 mL/minute, 100 mL/minute, and 150 mL/minute. The
quality of the produced cocamidopropil betaine in this research will be determined by the
two-phase titration analysis method based on %active matter. Based on the conducted
research, the optimum temperature for amidation is 160°C with a nitrogen flow rate of
100 mL/minute, resulting in %active matter of 24.41%.
