Abstract

In East Java, there are clove leaves oil refining as a rural people business due to it have been both ease of processing operation and low capital needed. This clove leaves oil production process uses the old leaves that fall naturally when dry season period means it is more conserve and environment friendly. East Java rural distillers have been using only single boiler for steam, water and raw materials so that the investment costs are cheaper. This study aims to find out the use of appropriate technology in clove leaves distillation process to increase clove oil both yield and quality. Two kinds of efforts conducting i.e. introduce leaves crusher as raw material and replace old chamber material with stainless steel. After clove leaves crushed, there are three grades of raw materials i.e. rough leaves, smooth leaves, and non-crushed leaves. Then, they are distilled in the new stainless steel boiler to compare the oil yield and quality. The result of crushed leaves treatment show that there are different volume condensate resulted from the same volume of raw materials i.e. 128.2 liter and 117.2 liter from smooth grade crushed leaves and rough grade respectively. The highest percentage of clove oil (15.07%) get from rough grade crushed leaves. Replacing chamber material with stainless steel affects to brightness of the clove oil. In conclusion, these two kinds of efforts to improve appropriate technology for clove oil production can increase both yield and oil brightness. Furthermore it can improve the competitive advantages of the product.
