EKSTRAKSI MINYAK KACANG TANAH (PEANUT OIL) DENGAN PELARUT ETANOL DAN N-HEKSAN

Peanut is one of the sources vegetable oil, oil content very high, less than 65% compared to copra which contains more or 45% (Sari, 2006). This study aims analyze value yield, density, viscosity, water content, and acid number peanut produced from groundnut seeds. Based on research that has been used, variable solvent volume varies 400 600 mL, extraction temperature used 75oCand 80oC, time 2- 4 hours. The resulting distilled using 80oC 85oC temperatures separate solvent. was carried out by extracting sohklets different solvents, ethanol n-hexane. From results this study, highest percentage 58.29% with n-hexane solvent, density 1.122 gr / viscosity 0.1029 cP, moisture 6%, acidity rate 2 mg NaOH . done, it can be concluded greatly affect yield produced, number.
