Abstract

ABSTRACT Along with the development of modern industries such as the perfume, cosmetic, food, aromatherapy and pharmaceutical industries, the world's need for essential oils is increasing every year. Several parameters developed in this article include the effect of pressure (1, 2, 4, 6, 8) mmHg and time (20, 40, 60) minutes until final boiling point on the volume of oil produced and geraniol concentration. The analysis carried out was GCMS analysis and bacterial activity in the application of perfume products. From the research results it was found that at 1 atm pressure the geraniol concentration increased by 50% to 80.11%. Apart from these compounds, other compounds were also obtained such as citronellol, rhodinol and cheprol. at this pressure also produced the highest product volume of 21.2 ml. The application of the product resulting from the vacuum distillation process in the form of an anti-bacterial perfume at an incubation time of 48 hours has the strongest anti-bacterial activity with a diameter of 10.13 mm against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.Keywords: Characterization, Citronella Oil, Vacuum Distillation, Perfume, Terpene

Abstract

Citronella oil is a non-timber forest product (NTFP) and is commercially obtained from the distillation of citronella leaves (Cymbopogon nardus L). Fragrant citronella leaves are one of the raw materials for obtaining vegetable oils in the form of essential oils. Essential oil is the main component consisting of composition in the form of geraniol and citronellal. The process of extracting essential oils can be done using various methods, one of which is the Vacuum Hydrodistillation method. The Vacuum Hydrodistillation method is carried out using a vacuum pump as a pressure guard and the boiling point of the distillation process does not exceed the boiling point temperature of water, which is 1000 C, so that the oil produced is maintained its purity. The vacuum hydrodistillation process of citronella was carried out for 3, 5, and 7 hours with each treatment using random and whole pieces of raw material. The resulting essential oil products were analyzed in the form of yield, density, refractive index and oil composition analysis using GC-MS. The best essential oil yields from citronella were obtained under operating conditions with random samples and distillation time of 5 hours. Where the yield produced is 0.17% with a refractive index of 1.41570 and a density of 0.92735 gr/ml. Keywords: Essential Oil, Vacuum Hydrodistillation, Fragrant Lemongrass, Geraniol
