| dc.description.abstract | Basil (Ocimum canum) is a plant that is commonly used in culinary as fresh
vegetables. Basil contains essential oils and oleoresin is used as a flavor enhancer
in food and beverage industry and as ingredients in the industry. The extraction
method commonly used for oleoresin is maceration. The problem with this method
is that many solvents are required and long time is needed to extract the raw
material. To resolve the problem, we use soxhletation extraction method with a
combination treatment of the material with a solvent ratio and the extraction time
in order to produce the most efficient oleoresin. Analysis conducted which includes
yield, density, refractive index, and contains of essential oil. The best treatment
basil oleoresin extraction by using the most efficient methods soxhletation namely
the treatment with solvent treatment of materials ratio of 1: 6 (w / v) with a time of
6 hours resulted in the extraction of oleoresin basil yield of 20.1520 %. The density
obtained is 0.9137 g/cm3
– 0,9688 g/cm3
. Values obtained refractive index is 1.4938
– 1,5024. The color of basil leaves oleoresin produced is dark and dense (green brown), and contains oil that is produced at 15.77%. | en_US |
