ABSTRACT: Extraction method on
raw materials patchouli (Pogestemon cablin) can be done by four methods, such
as Randall, evaporation, hydro-distillation and DIC. These methods compared to
four to get the patchouli alcohol were analyzed by GC MS to produce the optimum
amount of essential oils and economically on an industrial scale. Randall and
DIC method can be done quickly, while evaporation and hydro-distillation method
takes longer, but the hydro-distillation method is more stable and efficient in
the process of extraction of essential oils. The time required for the
essential oil by Randall method 4 minutes, 3 hours evaporation method,
hydro-distillation 7 hours and DIC for 6 minutes. The longer the process of
extracting will produce the yield value and need the higher energy.
