Steam distillation is a separation process to produce lemon peel oil which is separated by distillation, the steam is obtained by distillation which is carried out at 96 oC, for 1.5-2 hours. The variables used were pretreatment temperature: 30 oC, 45 oC, 60 oC, 75 oC, 90 oC and pretreatment time: 1.5 hours, 2 hours, 2.5 hours, and the best results obtained for lemon peel oil were for material treatment at 1.5 hours. with a temperature of 45oC with Limonene content of 36.714%, α-Pinene 2.678%, and yield 0.0659%.
