Abstract

Extraction citronella oil from Cymbopogon Nardus using Microwave Assisted Hydro Destillation (MAHD) method using water as solvents in the process. MAHD is an alternative technique and method to produce citronella oil and it has several advantages in terms of product quality and short time process. In this study, the citronella oil was extracted from Cymbopogon Nardus leaves (fresh and dry) used extraction time from 10 to 90 min and microwave power in the range at 300-600 W. The results of citronella oil extraction using the microwave hydro distillation method shows that the yield of citronella oil obtained will increase rapidly at the beginning and then decrease with the length of the extraction time. The yield obtained using MAHD could produce the highest yield at 450 W and 90 min are 0.2636 g oil/100 g lemongrass dry leaves. In addition, the kinetic study of MAHD model appears to be the best fit to explain with second-order than first-order model. It would be proved by good correlation between the experimental data and model achieved (R2>0.99) and (RMSE=0.0021). Based on the results obtained, second-order kinetic models could actually describe the kinetics model of extraction process citronella oil from Cymbopogon Nardus using MAHD.
