Abstract

Patchouli or Pogostemon cablin benth is one of the most important essential oil-producing plants in Indonesia. In the world of trade, patchouli oil is widely used as raw material, a mixing agent, and a fixative. Patchouli oil can be upgraded to Hi-Grade Patchouli (HGP) with a Patchouli alcohol (PA) content of 40-80% through vacuum distillation technology. Furthermore, HGP can be further processed into crystal patchouli with a purity of up to 90-100%. This study aims to improve the quality of patchouli oil produced by the community. This study examines the effect of variations in vacuum pressure on the distillation process on the quality of the resulting patchouli oil, determines the impact of cooling temperature variations on the resulting crystal mass, and determines the crystal quality (patchouli alcohol content and crystal size). The method used was vacuum redistillation followed by crystallization of patchouli oil. In the redistillation stage, it is carried out using a rotary vacuum evaporator. Redistillation is conducted in two stages: the first is to produce a light fraction at a temperature of 125 ℃, and the second is to produce a heavy fraction at a temperature of 140 ℃. The variable that was varied was process pressure. The pressure used is 1; 2-3; 6-8 and 10-12 mbar. The process is continued with crystallization using the cooling method (cooling crystallization) with a cooling temperature variation of -12 ℃ and -15 ℃. The results showed that through the vacuum redistillation method, the quality of patchouli oil produced by the community could be increased in PA levels up to 81.79%. The lower the operating pressure, the highest the quality of patchouli oil is produced. The lower the crystallization cooling temperature, the more crystal mass is formed. The crystal purity of this HGP resulted in very high levels of crystalline PA, namely 99.6%. The crystal size obtained is 290-600 μm on average.

Abstract

Patchouli oil is one of the most important essential oil commodities in Indonesia. At present the Special Region of Aceh, especially Aceh Jaya, Gayo, West Aceh, South and Southeast Aceh, is still the largest patchouli plant centre in Indonesia. So that many Aceh patchouli artisans sell their patchouli products to industries. However, there are several obstacles in this industry that cause the prices of patchouli oil products to become unstable and reduce the competitiveness of the national patchouli oil industry. One innovation that can be done to improve competitiveness is to make isolate products from patchouli oil which has a high selling value, namely patchouli alcohol (PA). PA isolation from patchouli oil can be done by a combination of vacuum distillation. In this study begins with a vacuum distillation process of patchouli oil.  Patchouli oil used is taken from sources refined by Aceh farmers. Variable is refining temperature. The distillation temperature is set at 120, 125, 130, 135, 145, 155, 165, and 175 oC. Patchouli oil was analysed with patchouli alcohol, specific gravity, refractive index and acid number. The results showed that the value of patchouli oil refractive index increased from 1.507 to 1.512; density increased to 1.005 g/ml; acid number increased slightly from 5.5 to 5.8; and patchouli alcohol increased from 34% to 65.9%.

Abstract

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a new type of virus that attacks the respiratory system and has caused the global epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Some persons who are infected with this virus develop symptoms ranging from a typical cold to fever to more severe illnesses, such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). The development of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine is being actively researched but will likely take more than a year to become available to the general public. As a result, numerous researchers are actively extracting the components of active chemicals in herbal plants with antiviral potentials, such as patchouli (Pogostemon cablin Benth.). Patchouli essential oil, found in this Lamiaceae plant, has a wide range of effects, including antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, antimutagenic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and aromatherapy. More than 140 chemicals have been isolated and identified from the patchouli plant, including terpenoids, phytosterols, flavonoids, organic acids, lignins, alkaloids, glycosides, alcohols, and aldehydes. Patchouli essential oil is mainly composed of sesquiterpene molecules, most of which are patchouli alcohol. Essential oils derived from herbal plant extracts have also been shown to be potent antiviral agents against various viruses. The efficacy of patchouli essential oil, as well as its potential as an antiviral agent to treat SARSCoV-2, will be investigated in this review.
