| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this research is to
extract zingiber aromaticum essential oil by using
a microwave assissted extraction (MAE) with
solvent. Rhizome of zingiber aromaticum
accumulates large amount of essential oil that
contains bioactive sesquiterpenoid zerumbone
which is widely used in medical sectors. This
research has focused on the influence of
microwave power (500 Watt) at various natures of
solvents and times of extraction of zingiber
aromaticum essential oil. Four types of solvents
are used in this research which is ethanol,
methanol, hexane and water. In this research, the
methods of drying, grinding, extraction,
separation and analysis are used and the sample is
separated from solvents by using a rotary
evaporator to get the essential oil. The sample was
analyzed by using a GC-MS to identify the
component of the zingiber aromaticum oil. The
optimum yield of zerumbone is 17.72 % at
microwave power of 500 W and 10 min of
extraction by using methanol as solvent. | en_US |
