| dc.description.abstract | Tri Ayu Kurnia. Effect of Long Drying Raw Materials and Methods Hydro
and Steam Distillation of the Quality Fragrant Lemongrass Oil
(Cymbopogon nardus L. Rendle). Academic supervised by Irawati Azhar and Tito
Sucipto.
Destillation was done using two methods, hydro and refining methods
steam distillation method with lemongrass fragrance raw materials with long
drying treatment without drying the raw material (fresh), draining three days and
six days drying. Differences destillation methods and long drying materials
suspected to affect the quality and yield of lemongrass scented oil produced. The
purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of long drying materials and
methods of refining the quality of fragrant lemongrass oil and evaluate the
physical and chemical properties of lemongrass scented oil produced.
Lemongrass scented oil extracted by destillation method using hydro
and the steam distillation method. The yield produced by the destillation method
hydro greater than steam destillation method. Value of the physical properties of
lemongrass scented oils that meet the SNI 06-3953-1995 is the value of specific
gravity in fragrant lemongrass oil without drying (fresh) with hydro destillation
method, while the refractive index values did not meet standards. Value of
chemical properties meet SNI 06-3953-1995 was total geraniol in lemongrass
scented oil with hydro destillation method without drying the raw material (fresh),
draining three days, six days and drying as well as the total value sitronellal
scented with lemongrass oil refining methods boiled the raw material without
drying (fresh), draining three days, six days and drying, and the fragrant
lemongrass oil with steam distillation method on raw materials by drying three
days and six days. Value of solubility in 80% ethanol did not meet the standard. | en_US |
