| Summary: | Today, virgin coconut oil (VCO) is becoming valuable oil and is receiving an attractive topic for researchers
because of its several biological activities. In cosmetics industry, VCO is excellent material which functions as
a skin moisturizer and softener. Therefore, it is important to develop a quantitative analytical method offering a
fast and reliable technique. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with sample handling technique of
attenuated total reflectance (ATR) can be successfully used to analyze VCO quantitatively in cream cosmetic
preparations. A multivariate analysis using calibration of partial least square (PLS) model revealed the good
relationship between actual value and FTIR-predicted value of VCO with coefficient of determination (R2) of
0.998. |
