Virgin coconut oil (VCO) which is also known as coconut oil or virgin coconut is coconut oil obtained from fresh coconut meat through a process of heating at low temperatures, freeze drying, fermentation, enzymatic, mechanical pressure or centrifugation. VCO has a higher commercial value because it has many benefits and efficacy, which is only used for food and industrial raw materials for the cosmetic treatment of the body (hand body lotion), can also improve your metabolism and can cope with a variety of disease, thus used as ingredients in traditional medicines. One way of making the VCO is quite interesting by the enzymatic method using a protease derived from agave roots, and agave (palado) leaves. The purpose of this study was to examine the use of existing protease enzymes in plant roots palado, and agave leaves (leaf palado) as materials for VCO on enzymatic methods and and the determination of enzyme activity by Murachi method. The results showed that the enzyme that is at the root of the agave plant (palado root), and leaves of the agave plant (palado petals) can be used as an ingredient in the manufacture of VCO with enzymatic methods. VCO yield resulting from the material between palado leaves, and roots of palado, namely 17.5%. acid number of the resulting VCO is 0.56 (using a leaf Palado), who used the palado roots 0.44. The results of enzyme activity test show that protease enzyme contained in palado leaf extract is bromelin enzyme.

Bromelain is one of the protease that can be produced from all of parts of the pineapple plants (Ananas comosus). It has potential to improve quality of local Indonesian food such as tempeh gembus, virgin coconut oil (VCO), and dumbo catfish based fish sauce (DCBFS). Tempeh gembus is a traditional food that has unique characteristics especially in its taste because it contains amino acids. VCO attracts consumers because of its health aspect. Its raw materials are available in Indonesia. DCBS  is a product of fermented fish with salt that has a distinctive taste and is produced in Indonesia. This study aimed to analyze the effect of bromelain on local Indonesian food and its applications. The result showed that the use of bromelain in local Indonesian food could improve the quality and nutritional value of local food. Bromelain can be used in local food like tempeh gembus, virgin coconut oil, and fish sauce from dumbo catfish. The use of bromelain in tempeh gembus could  increase both of the water-soluble nitrogen level and the pH value. However, the addition of bromelain in the production of virgin coconut oil and fish sauce from dumbo catfish could increase the yield of theirs. .

Breastmilk (ASI) is the best food produced by the breast glands, containing all the nutritional elements needed by infants aged 0-6 months. Apart from nutrients, breast milk also has other non-nutritional components that act as immune factors for babies. Babies who are not exclusively breastfed will be more susceptible to chronic diseases, such as heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes as adults and can suffer from malnutrition and obesity. Dietary intake significantly affects milk production. The mother's diet can affect the composition of her milk through several metabolic pathways, especially the concentration of fatty acids and vitamins that are soluble in fat and water, including vitamins A, C, B6, and B12. Lauric acid contained in breast milk can help your minor fight infection and increase immunity to protect from various diseases. Not only for the baby, but virgin coconut oil is also starting to be commonly used by dieters. Virgin coconut oil contains lauric acid CH3 (CH2) 10COOH 50% and caprylic acid CH3 (CH2) 6COOH 7%. Both of these acids are medium-chain saturated fatty acids that are quickly metabolized and have anti-microbial properties.

Coconut agribusiness development plays an important role in an effort to increase productivity as a raw material for processed products from coconut. Indonesia is one of the world's largest coconut plantation. Unfortunately, Indonesia's exports are in the form of ordinary coconut oil, while Philippines has begun to reach the world with the Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO). However, there is still a lack of diversification that can be done by coconut farmers made its little progress. In fact, the price of VCO which tripled from coconut oil used to make the oil can be potential to be developed in Indonesia The purpose of this research was to examine the cream ratio with inducement oil and length of fermentation on VCO quality. The research used a factorial randomized complete design (CRD) of 3 × 3 consisting of two factors, namely the ratio of coconut cream and inducement oil (A) and length of fermentation (B). The ratio of coconut cream and inducement oil (A) consisted of three levels, namely: A1 = 2 : 1, A2 = 3 : 1, and A3 = 4 : 1. Length of fermentation factors (B) consisted of three levels, namely: B1 = 8 hours, B2 = 10 hours, and B3 = 12 hours. The results showed that the treatment of cream ratio with inducement oil had a very significant effect on the yield, organoleptic aroma, and color. The length of fermentation had a very significant effect on yield, organoleptic aroma and color. The interaction between the two factors had a very significant effect on all parameters (water content, peroxide number, acid number, and iodine number) except yield and organoleptic (aroma and color) which had no effect. The best VCO quality was obtained by ratio of cream with inducement oil 2 : 1 and 8 hours length of fermentation.
