Abstract

This research aimed to examine the distillation of patchouli oil using firewood (FW) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) as fuel. The effects of yield, patchouli oil quality and cost analyses had been observed. The results showed that distillation of patchouli oil using FW obtained a higher yield than LPG. Physical-chemical properties test (color, specific gravity, refractive index and optical rotation) showed no significant difference of value and still met the requirements parameters in SNI 06-2385-2006. Meanwhile, chemical component analysis by GC-MS showed that the patchouli alcohol using FW and LPG has not met the requirement parameters in SNI. Cost analysis indicated that the distillation of patchouli oil using LPG was not profitable because of higher cost and lower yield than FW. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved.
