PENGEMBANGAN TEKNIK SEPARASI ALAT DISTILASI VAKUM GELOMBANG MIKRO UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KADAR PATCHOULI ALKOHOL PADA MINYAK NILAM Engineering development the separation instrument distillation vacuum microwave to increase patchouli alcohol content on patchouli oil

Abstract

Patchouli (pogostemon cablin benth) is a volatile oil producers tropical shrubs similar called same (patchouli oil).Patchouli oil is a product to a volatile oil and largest pemakaiannya shows a trend in the world is increasing. To be said that so far there has not been any product either natural or synthetic to replace patchouli oil in his position as a fixative.Patchouli oil production in indonesia often encountered weakness so patchouli oil produced must undergo a lanjutan to get the set criteria.Distillation on oil patchouli aims to purify again patchouli oil to enhance levels nonalcoholic patchouli contained therein. With a vacuum distillation purification uses microwave is produced patchouli oil having the quality of better than ever because patchouli alcohol content contained therein higher while.
