LUTHFANMINHAL: Steam Temperature Test At Clove Oil Distiller Equipment Direct Steam Type. Supervised by LUKMAN ADLIN HARAHAP and SAIPUL BAHRI DAULAY. In the clove oil distillation equipment direct steam type, distillation temperature setting must be set properly. The temperature determines the quality of clove oil. This study was testing various temperature levels on clove oil distillation equipment direct steam type on the moisture content, free fatty acids and yield of the clove oil produced. This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Agricultural Engineering and Food Chemistry Analysis Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture in November 2015 until completion using a non-factorial completely randomized design usualytemperature of 950C, 1000C and 1050C. Parameters measured were moisture content, free fatty acids and yield. The results showed that the highest water content was in the U1 (15.72%) and the lowest water content we in the U3 (11.23%). The highest level of free fatty acid we in the U1 (5.83%) and the lowes free fatty acid we in the, us (5.60%) the highest yield value we in the U3 (0.54%) and the lowest yield we in the U1 (0.40%).
