Abstract


Patchouli oil is one of the essential oils. To optimize the potential of essential oil, it is necessary to make efforts to raise
the rendement. One way is to improve the distillation technique and the operating distillation process which is able to
produce higher rendement. This research was conducted using steam-hydro distillation method by microwave with
variation of microwave power to the rendement. The ratio of raw material - water used were 1:1 (m / v) and power
variations were 100, 264, 400, 600, and 800 Watt. The weight of patchouli leaves and stem is 100 gram and put into the
distillation flask, then water is added by 100 mL, after which the steam was flowed into the distillation gourd of the
steam generator with the flow rate of 5 ml/min, then the microwave power was adjusted according to the specified
variables. Based on the research result, the highest rendement of 2.47% was obtained with the microwave power of 800
Watt. The quality of the rendement has met SNI 06-2388-2006.
