| Summary: | Clove oil has two major components, 70% eugenol and 30% caryophyllene. Eugenol is a component of clove oil that can be used in industry. To get the eugenol from clove oil can be used in solvent extraction. Solvent extraction have been developed using the solvent system ether-water which still produces salt waste harmful to the environment. This study aimed to determine the distribution ratio of eugenol in the new solvent system which is kerosene-methanol. This research was initiated by searching for a new solvent system that can replace existing solvent systems. Distribution ratio of eugenol in kerosene-methanol solvent system can determine the efficiency of this solvent system. Distribution ratio is determined by observing the concentration of eugenol eugenol using spectrophotometer UV-VIS-NIR (Shimadzu). Consentrations used for the determination of the distribution ratio is 4 - 10 ppm. Wavelengths used for the measurement of UV-Vis spectrophotometry is 281.5 nm. Distribution ratio of eugenol in methanol-kerosene solvent system is 0.12 – 0.14. These results suggest that eugenol more are in the phase of methanol than in the kerosene phase. |
