Abstract: Research of characterization physicochemical emulsion products of solid cooking oil has been performed. The measurement using analysis parameter of water content, free fatty acids, peroxide value, and hardness test. Method of used water content (AOAC,1995), free fatty acids (AOCS Official Method Ca 5a-40 1993), and peroxide value (AOCS Official Method Cd 8-53 1993), and hardness test using universal machine testing. The characterization result of emulsion products of solid cooking oil toward the water content in the range of 0.04-0.09%, free fatty acids from 0.28 to 0.49%, and peroxide value in the range 0.61 to 0.74 mg O2 /100 g. And the result of hardness test solid cooking oil emulsion product is in the range from 8.4942 to 15.7444 gf/cm2 . Thus the solid cooking oil products produced meet the criteria of margarine and shortening.
