Abstract:
Eucalyptus citriodora is one type of eucalyptus that has the potential to be developed. This plant originates from Australia, which is one of the most popular eucalyptus trees that grows in almost all of Australia, and is now found to grow in almost all tropical regions of the world including Indonesia. Content Analysis and determination of sineol Content in Eucalyptus citriodora leaf essential oil from PT. Toba Pulp Lestari Tbk has been carried out by the GCMS method. Eucalyptus leaves have been used for medicine, industry and perfume as well as Eucalyptus oil. The purpose of this study was to determine the compound content and levels of cineol in Eucalyptus citriodora leaves. The abundance of sineol levels 55-65% can be used as perfume, medicines and Eucalyptus oil. Stahl destillation was developed to produce The Eucalyptus oil. There are eleven compounds in Eucalyptus citriodora leaves, including α-Pinene, 1-Limone, 1.5 Cyclooctadiene, 1.8 Sineol, 1-P-Menthen-8-YL-Acetate, 3- Cycl
oheksane, 1-Methanol, α-Terpinyl Acetate, Phenol, Butylhidroxytoluena, Trans-Methyl-dihydrojasmonate, ISO - Cytronellate, ISO - Propyl Myristat, Propyltetradekanoate, Octadecanoic Acid. The mximum abundance is 1,8-cineol (60.29% v/v). The physical properties was obtained used titrimetric method yields of acidity and ester numbers respectively 2.8025 and 12.0 (T= 26.010C).
