Pengaruh Lama EkstraksiI Terhadap Rendemen Oleoresin Kulit Mangga Kuweni (Mangifera Odorata Griff) Menggunakan Metode MAE

Abstract

Mango peel is one of the by-products that is wasted when processing the fruit into certain products. One form of mango peel utilization is by extracting the oleoresin content in it. Oleoresin is a extractive substance that contains the main components of flavoring in the form of volatile (essential oil) and non-volatile (resin and gum) substances, these two main components play an important role in determining aroma and taste. The purpose of this study is to identify the best extraction treatment by MAE method of kuweni mango peel oleoresin, so that it can be an alternative form of storage for volatile compounds found in the skin of kuweni mango. This study used the microwave assisted extraction (MAE) method. Extraction was carried out using n-hexane solvent to extract the oleoresin component of the mango skin of the kuweni mango. The ratio of the amount of material with the solvent used is 1:10, with a raw material weight of 20 grams. The extracted solvent is evaporated using a rotary vacuum evaporator to produce a more concentrated result. MAE is done for 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 4 minutes and 5 minutes. Microwave used 50% power. The parameters measured in this study were the yield of oleoresin extracted. The results showed that the yield of oleoresin from extraction was 42,25% for 1 minute, 44,55% for 2 minutes, 44.10% for 3 minutes, 22,80% for 4 minutes, and 22.35% for 5 minutes. The conclusion of this research is that the extract of mango kuweni peel oleoresin which is produced from MAE process with n-hexane solvent produces the best yield in the 2-minute extraction time treatment which is 44.55%.
