ABSTRACT
Eucalyptus oil is one of the essential oils obtained from the extraction of eucalyptus
leaves. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of variations in sample and
treatment Extraction time on the yield of eucalyptus essential oil and determine the
characteristics of eucalyptus essential oil produced by themethod hydro distillation.
Variations of sample treatment carried out on dry eucalyptus leaves were chopped,
crushed, and blended. Eucalyptus leaves weigh 500 grams then put in a 2000 ml flask and
add aquadest ±1000 ml of. The extraction process was carried out for 5, 6 and 7 hours.
The results showed that the highest yield was in the blended treatment with an extraction
time of 7 hours, namely 0.58%. Characteristic tests on eucalyptus leaf essential oil
include: color, odor, specific gravity, refractive index and solubility in ethanol 80%. From
the analysis of the test results, the color of eucalyptus oil is cloudy. The odor test results
obtained are the distinctive odor of eucalyptus. The best value of eucalyptus oil specific
gravity was 0.913 on digeprek leaves for 6 hours. In the ethanol solubility test, the
resulting oil dissolves in ethanol and a clear solution is obtained. The highest refractive
index value of eucalyptus oil on chopped leaves for 5 hours is 1.469. Eucalyptus oil has a
quality in accordance with the quality requirements of SNI 3954: 2014.
