Abstract

The objectives of the study were: to determine the ratio of electrical voltage and volume to the hydrodistillation rate, conductivity, energy, and yield. The method used is hydrodistillation of nutmeg leaves according to the treatment. The treatment of voltage and water volume were 3 levels each. Observations included voltage, current, temperature, and yield. The results showed that the hydrodistillation rate, electrical conductivity, energy, and oil nutmeg leaves yield were influenced by electrical voltage and solvent volume. The maximum oil yield was 1.07% at a voltage of 50 V and 750 ml of water.

Tujuan penelitian adalah: mengetahui rasio tegangan listrik dan volume terhadap laju hidrodistilasi, konduktivitas, energi, dan rendemen. Metode yang digunakan adalah melakukan hidrodistilasi daun pala sesuai perlakuan. Perlakuan tegangan dan volume air masing-masing 3 level. Pengamatan meliputi tegangan, arus, suhu, dan rendemen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa laju hidrodistilasi, konduktivitas listrik, energi, dan rendemen minyak daun pala dipengaruhi oleh tegangan listrik dan volume pelarut. Rendemen minyak maksimum sebesar 1,07% pada tegangan 50 V dan air 750 ml.
