Abstract

Orange peel contains essential oil, also known as etheric oil (citrus oil) which is widely used by the perfume chemical industry, adds citrus aroma to drinks and food, as well as in the health sector which is used as an anti-oxidant and anti-cancer. determine whether steam distillation and extraction can be used to isolate the essential oil of lime peel. and to determine the refractive index of essential oils produced by characterizing the parameters of physical and chemical properties which include color, refractive index, moisture content, and yield. The results showed that the essential oil can be isolated and extracted from lime peel using steam distillation, the yield of the isolated extract = 1.3850 %, and the yield of the extracted extract = 0.51%. The extraction has reddish color and a characteristic citrus smell, the refractive index of the extraction = 1.3589, and the refractive index of the isolated extract = 1.3830. The volatile oil observed with extract paper on the isolated color is clear or does not leave stains and the extraction results still leave stains. which states that the filter paper has not been in accordance with Indonesian quality standards. The results showed that the color, odor, and refractive index of the isolation were appropriate, while the orange essential oil was obtained from the refractive index, identification using cider paper was not appropriate, while the color and odor results were in accordance with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI).
