Pengaruh Kondisi Operasi Ekstraksi Kulit Pohon Masoya (Cryptocaria massoy (oken)Kosterm) dengan Menggunakan CO2 Supercritical Fluid Extraction Terhadap Hasil Ekstraksi

Abstract

Masoya essential oil is one of the top 7 essential oil commodities in Indonesia. In this research, the Supercritical CO2 Fluid Extraction method is used to extract masoya bark into essential oil. This method will be varied in its operating conditions, including particle size, pressure, and temperature, to determine the yield and recovery achieved. The recovery in the extraction process is obtained through the soxhlet extraction method using N-Hexane solvent, assuming that 100% of the oil content in the raw material is extracted. The results of the soxhlet extraction are used as the baseline for calculating the recovery from the supercritical CO2 fluid extraction method. Subsequently, GC-FID and GC/MS tests are conducted to analyze the compound content present in masoya essential oil. The main components found in masoya essential oil are C-10 massoialactone (2H-Pyran-2-one, 5,6-dihydro-6-pentyl-) with an average content of >90%, C-12 massoialactone (2H Pyran-2-one, 6-heptyl-5,6-dihydro-) with an average content of approximately ±5%, Benzyl Benzoate with an average content of >1%, and C-14 massoialactone (6-Nonyl-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran 2-one) with an average content of approximately ±1%. The Supercritical CO2 Fluid Extraction method can extract massoialactone with high purity without being influenced by the operating conditions.
