RENDEMEN DAN MUTU MINYAK NILAM ACEH (Pogostemon cablin BENTH) DI WILAYAH KECAMATAN BUKIT BATU, KOTA PALANGKA RAYA, PROVINSI KALIMANTAN TENGAH
Abstract: The purpose of this
research is to know the patchouli oil yield resulting from the leaf and stalk
patchouli on some long time pengeringanginan, as well as knowing the quality of
patchouli oil is produced from the leaves and stalk patchouli developed farmer
in Stone Hill subdistrict, Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan province. Treatment
time drying harnessed the wind against the leaves and stalks patchouli until
certain standard can increase rendemen patchouli oil produced . On treatment
time
drying by utilizing the wind against leaves in four days produce rendemen
highest least % and on a stalk for eight days has produced rendemen highest
3.78 % then decline by the longer time drying . Rendemen lowest is treatment
without drying ( control ) good on leaves and on a stalk namely each of 1,4 %
and 1.16 % . Treatment utilizing wind drying time of leaves and stalk a certain
extent patchouli can increase levels of patchouly oil patchouli alcohol
produced. Treatment utilizing wind drying time for 8 days resulted in the
highest levels of patchouly alcohol of
the same kind on the leaves (31.48%) and stalk (29,71%) and then
decreases with the longer drying time utilizing wind. The lowest levels of
patchouly is on alcohol without treatment (control) of drying both on the
leaves or stalks that each of 22,94% and 19,73%. Based on the nature of the
physical and chemical characteristics of patchouli oil
(color, optical rotation, weights, types of refractive index and levels
of patchouly alcohol) from the leaf and stalk, that the quality of the oil
produced on patchouli without treatment (control) of drying winds relatively
low compared the quality of patchouli oil drying treatment on agin, and qualify
based on patchouli oils quality SNI No. 06-2385-1991
