Abstract
Abstract
Secondary metabolites of oil palm have various potentials. Research on the secondary metabolite of oil palms inflorescences very limited. The purpose of this research is to compare the extraction method between maceration and steam distillation of oil palm female inflorescence’s volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The maceration used ethanolic for 5 × 24 hours, then concentrated with a rotary evaporator. Steam distillation was carried out at a temperature of >80 °C for 4 hours. The extraction results were analyzed by Gas Chromatography-Mas Spectrometry (GC-MS). VOCs found from maceration are less than steam distillation, with a 1:12 ratio. Estragole compound was found in both methods. However, steam distillation possesses more content.
