Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is derived from fresh coconut meat and can be produced through various methods, including enzymatic processes. This study investigates the effect of adding papain enzyme on the antioxidant activity of VCO. The enzymatic method involves extracting coconut milk with the addition of papain obtained from young papaya. The antioxidant activity was measured using the DPPH method, while other parameters such as moisture content and free fatty acids were also evaluated.The research highlights that VCO is recognized for its health benefits and versatility in various applications. The enzymatic extraction method offers an efficient means of producing VCO while enhancing its properties. This study specifically focuses on how the incorporation of papain influences both the quality of VCO and its antioxidant capacity.In terms of methodology, the study utilized an enzymatic approach for VCO production by incorporating papain into the extraction process. The antioxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH assay, and the resulting VCO was analyzed for moisture content and free fatty acids.The results indicated that VCO produced with papain had a moisture content of 0.22% and free fatty acids of 0.76%, while VCO without enzyme addition showed a moisture content of 0.16%. The antioxidant activity was measured at 18.35 ppm for VCO with papain, compared to 13.51 ppm for pure VCO.In conclusion, the addition of papain enzyme not only accelerated the production of VCO but also enhanced its antioxidant activity, classifying both types of VCO as having strong antioxidant properties. However, it is important to note that the moisture content and free fatty acids in VCO with enzyme addition did not meet the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 7381:2008), likely due to residual water from the papaya fruit.

This Abstract Outlines The Historical Role Of The Christian Church In Governance, Especially In The Western World. From Its Early Development, The Church Wielded Considerable Influence Over Social And Political Affairs, Particularly After Christianity Became The Official Religion Of The Roman Empire In The 4th Century. Beyond Its Religious Duties, The Church Served As A Powerful Social, Moral, And Legal Authority In Medieval Europe. Through Canon Law, It Governed Various Facets Of Societal Life, Including Marriage, Inheritance, And Social Norms, And Validated The Power Of Rulers Through The “Divine Right” Doctrine. However, The Protestant Reformation Of The 16th Century Marked A Major Shift, Promoting A Separation Of Church And State That Influenced The Rise Of Secular Governance Systems. The Protestant Church Championed Religious Freedom And Individual Autonomy, Foundations For Modern Pluralism And Democracy. In The Contemporary Era, While The Church’s Formal Governance Role Has Declined, It Remains A Moral Voice, Particularly On Social Issues, Justice, And Human Rights. This Study Concludes That The Church's Role In Governance Has Evolved From A Political And Legal Authority To A More Inclusive Moral And Social Role In A Progressively Secular Society.
