Abstract

Hamjah Dalimunthe : Effect of destillation temperature on quality and yield of patchouli oil of oil direct steam destillation type. Supervised by Lukman Adlin Harahap and Achwil Putra Munir. On direct steam destilation type , destillation temperature needs to be considered. The temperature determines the quality of destillation product. This study tested various temperature on destillation of volatile oil in direct steam type destillation. The study was conducted at the Laboratory of Agricultural Engineering and analysis was done in Food Chemical Analysis Laboratorium Faculty of Agricultural in September 2014 to October 2014 A non-factorial completely randomized design with 95°C, 100°C and 105°C was used. Parameters measured were water content, free fatty acid and yield. The results showed that the temperature had significant effect on yield. The best treatment was the U3 treatment (105°C) which produced 21,1% water content, and 0,44% yield.
