Abstract

Lemongrass oil is the one type of essential oil that has high economic value.This research purpose to learn the process continued to increase the levels of citral inlemongrass oil using vacuum distillation method. Vacuum distillation process oflemongrass oil was carried out at operating condition: temperature of 100 to 140 oC,pressures of 50 to 90 mbar and pH of 3 to 7. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy(GCMS) results show that vacuum distillation process increased the concentration of citralof lemongrass oil. The experimental results show that variations of temperature, pressureand pH influence on concentration of citral. The highest citral of 84.7% obtained atexperimental condition of temperature of 140 oC, pressure of 70 mbar and pH of 5.

Abstract

U-Neulheu, a traditional Acehnese cooking spice made from roasted grated coconut, is typically produced using simple and limited equipment, leading to an inefficient production process. As a result, both the quality and quantity of the final product are often suboptimal. The integration of technology into the production process remains far from ideal. The aim of this community service activity aims to enhance the quantity and quality of U-Neulheu produced by local partners through the implementation of Appropriate Technology, such as a roasted coconut grinder and dryer. These improvements are expected to increase the partner's income level and living standards. The partners involved in this activity are a group of housewives who produce U-Neulheu in Cot Preh Village, Kuta Baro Sub-District, Aceh Besar District. The methods of this community service activity include counseling, the implementation of technology in the form of a roasted coconut grinder and dryer, as well as technical guidance. The results of the activity show that the partners greatly benefited from the application of this Appropriate Technology. The use of the roasted coconut grinder and dryer in the U-Neulheu production process made it more effective and efficient in terms of both time and cost. In addition, the quantity and quality of U-Neulheu products have also increased. The quantity increase is measurable by the higher number of products produced (50%), while the quality improvement is evident in the smoother and more hygienic products.
