OPTIMASI SUHU DAN WAKTU MENGGUNAKAN RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY (RSM) PADA EKSTRAKSI OLEORESIN LIMBAH KULIT JERUK LEMON (Citrus limon (Linn.) Burm.F.) DENGAN BANTUAN GELOMBANG ULTRASONIK

This study was aimed to determine the optimum temperature and extraction time of citrus lemon peel (Citrus limon (Linn.) Burm.F.) oleoresins by using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The results showed that the optimum temperature and time of extraction with ultrasonic waves to produced oleoresins were 59,28ºC and 72,57 minutes. The extraction process with optimum temperature and time produced citrus lemon peel oleoresin with yield and refractive index respectively 32,47% and 1,4923. Meanwhile, the value of the density is equal to 1,3740 g/cm3 and the chemical compound was identified by GC-MS instrument. The component that was found in the citrus lemon peel oleoresin were 1-propanone, 1,3,6 Octratriene, Propanoic Acid, 2-Furancarboxaldehyde, 4-Vinyl-2-Methoxy-Phenol, 1-Pentene, Neryl Acetate, Geranic Acetate, ?-Bergamotene, Limonene, 2-Hexenal, 2-Bornanone, 2-Decyn-1-ol, Methyl Eugenol, Cis-P-Mentha-1(7),8-dien-2-ol, 1,4 Naphthalendione, Undecanal, Octadecanoic Acid, Pentadecanoic Acid, Decanoic Acid, 11-Octadecanoic Acid,GeranylButirate, Geranyl Propionate and 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic Acid.

Preparation of Mesoporous MCM-41 in Open-Vessel for Catalytic Synthesis of Geranyl Propionate

In this paper, the synthesis of mesoporous molecular sieves MCM-41 was carried out in an open-vessel. The mesoporous structure of as-synthesized MCM-41 was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, Fourier transform infrared (FT–IR) spectrum, NH3-Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD), and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. The catalytic performances of MCM-41 for the synthesis of geranyl propionate (GP) with geraniol and propionic acid as reagents also were investigated. The characterization results show that the as-synthesized MCM-41 possesses typical hexagonal mesoporous structure with high long-range order and crystalline degree. The high GP selectivity of 64.25% with geraniol conversion of 17.21% was achieved under optimum conditions.
