Abstract

Innovation is one of the most critical issues in research institutions which can be performed through certain routes within the technology transfer mechanism. As the demands of research implementation are increasing, a better mechanism should be deployed to foster innovation. This study will investigate the possibilities for technology transfer mechanism improvements by (i) identifying a number of steps required for innovation; (ii) measuring the efficiency of each step; and (iii) exploring the most efficient routes to innovate through the Dijkstra algorithm. Cases of research on essential oils and derivatives in the Research Center for Chemistry (RCC) of the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) will be examined as the working example for the study. As a result of this study, a model containing a recommended sequence for the most efficient steps to innovation can be proposed. Using the proposed model, the efficiency rate of the technology transfer mechanism was increased twice, suggesting the possibility of stimulating innovation performance.

Abstract

Vetiver oil is one of essential oil from Indonesia which no synthetic substitute is available. The drawback of vetiver oil from Indonesia is smoky odor and dark appearance. To increase added value of Indonesian vetiver oil, therefore it is need method with cheap production, simple and easy to operate. Multiglass plate system (MGS) is one method to increase added value of vetiver oil. The aim of this research is to improve the vetiver oil quality in terms of appearance, odor and the physicochemical properties by MGS method and also optimize the operation condition on the vetiver oil yield and total vetiverol contents. The process parameters used on this research are to optimize the flow rate, angular and amount of glass plate. As a result,  was  obtained the optimum condition in 0.38 ml/sec of flow rate, 3o of glass plate angular and 5 of glass plate to increase 15% of total vetiverol contents, while the yields decreased until 5.6%. Refined vetiver oil by MGS are almost meet fulfill with Indonesia National Standard number 06-2386-2006 except total vetiverol contents and odor. Even though, the total vetiverol content increased and the odor became slightly smoky compare to raw material. Based on the results, MGS method can give higher purification of vetiverol of increase vetiver oil quality with easy to handle, low cost operation and also can moved to anywhere due to portable unit and mobile system.
