RECOVERY MINYAK JAGUNG DENGAN EKSTRAKSI DALAM AUTOCLAVE (Corn oil recovery by extraction in an autoclave)

Abstract

Autoclave is a closed heating device used for sterilization using temperature and high pressure steam used in microbiology. The pressure used is generally 15 Psi or about 1 atm and with a temperature of 1210C. The hot vapor produced by an autoclave is sourced from the hot vapor produced by fire or electricity. Corn Plant (Zea mays) is one of the world's food crops, corn can be taken by extracting oil with solvent. The purpose of this research is the clarity method using solvent using autoclave. The study was conducted using an autoclave as a place of extraction. The treatment given is the size of maize by grinding then extracted with ethanol solvent in autoclave and done by distillation. The object of this research is to know the result of rendement from each experiment so that the most optimal variable. Keywords : Zea mays, Autoclave, Extraction, Etanol, Distilation
