Abstract

Acehnese Patchouli var. Sidikalang can produce patchouli oil, one of the country's sources of foreign exchange, and it is advantageous in many industries. However, patchouli alcohol (PA) content in patchouli oil is still low. The higher PA content determines the better quality of patchouli oil. So, delignification with Trichoderma viride was carried out to increase PA and yield of patchouli oil. The duration of delignification patchouli leaves is one factor affecting the increase in PA and yield. This study aimed to determine the effect of delignification duration on PA content and yield. The research method was completely randomized with 8 treatments (a combination of 2 treatments: with and without delignification, and 4 delignification durations: 0, 3, 6, and 9 days). The inoculum used for delignification was an inoculum ball, and then patchouli leaf samples were extracted using microwave-assisted extraction (MAE). Gas chromatography was carried out for PA analysis. Delignification of patchouli leaves, with a delignification time of 9 days, showed high PA and yield, which were (0.3129 ± 0.1557)% and (1.4543 ± 0.7717)%, respectively. The success of delignification at  9 days was also shown by increased phenolic content. Trichoderma viride is often utilized in delignification process, but the optimal duration of its delignification of Aceh patchouli leaves that can help improve patchouli oil quality is not yet known. This research is hoped to help related industries improve the secondary metabolites of plants, which has many benefits for the community. Implication/benefit for science development/society.

Abstract

The patchouli plant (Pogostemon cablin Benth.) is a tropical herbaceous plant that produces essential oil. One of the problems is that the production is not yet optimal. Fulfillment of superior seedlings can help increase patchouli productivity. Conventional patchouli propagation through stem cuttings is ineffective and takes longer. Patchouli propagation can be done using a tissue culture approach via direct organogenesis to produce seedlings quickly and efficiently. Effective patchouli propagation methods and successful acclimatization are very important to research to support the propagation and breeding of patchouli plants. The aim of this research was to determine the best of BAP concentration in direct organogenesis of leaf and stem explants. The research design used a completely randomized series of hormone BAP, it has 5 levels, namely 0 mg/L (as control), 0.25 mg/L, 0.50 mg/L, 0.75 mg/L, and 1.0 mg/L. The explants used were the leaves and stems of Aceh patchouli. Plantlets are acclimatized in compost media and covering treatment. Based on the results of observations, the best BAP concentration is 0.25 mg/L with the initial observation parameters of the early emergence of shoots, number of shoots, and length of shoots on leaf explants were 10 daps, 35.33 shoots, and 2.83 cm respectively. The use of leaf explants showed a better response compared to stem explants. Patchouli plantlets were successfully acclimatized and can adapt to the ex vitro environment using the covering method. Successful patchouli propagation and high acclimatization can help produce effective patchouli seeds.
