ISOLATION AND USE OF ANIMAL OIL (Cymbopogon nardus L.) FROM NORTH CENTRAL TIMOR AS BASIC INGREDIENTS FOR FLAVOR
bahasa inggris
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus L.) is a grass plant with narrow leaf size. Citronella in NTT is relatively abundant but its utilization is not optimal and the price is relatively cheap. People only utilize citronella as animal feed, traditional drinks, and mosquito repellent additives. The purpose of this research is to isolate and make basic ingredients of fragrance from citronella oil from TTU district. The method for citronella oil isolation is water vapor distillation. The method of making fragrance is bassic notes, middle notes and top notes with observation parameters used for testing fragrance is organoleptic test, stain test, durability test. The results of the fragrance of bassic notes fragrance if applied to clothing then the fragrance that smells is lemongrass fragrance, while middle notes if applied to clothing then the fragrance is like a rose, top notes fragrance that smells is orange. The stain test results on basic notes for tissue paper and HVS paper showed very slight stains, while the middle notes showed very slight stains on tissue paper and HVS paper, and the top notes showed no stains on any of the three test papers. The durability test results showed that all three fragrances lasted up to 8 hours.
Keywords: Lemongrass, Fragrance, Organoleptic Test, Stain Test, Durability Test.
