Abstract

Essential oils are natural volatile aromatic compounds extracted from various plant parts through methods like steam distillation, cold pressing, or solvent extraction. This study evaluated the effect of flower type on essential oil yield using Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) and Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) with ethanol. The flowers tested were ylang-ylang, jasmine, and frangipani. MAE produced higher yields for all flowers, with ylang-ylang yielding the most at 27.6% (MAE) and 18.0% (UAE). FTIR analysis of ylang-ylang extract revealed functional groups (–OH, C=O, C–H, C=C) indicating active compounds like linalool, eugenol, and geranyl acetate. Physically, ylang-ylang showed a dark brown color and strong aroma, suggesting high essential oil content and potential for perfume and aromatherapy. UAE’s efficiency was limited by an open system and low temperature; therefore, a closed system with better temperature control is recommended. Overall, ylang-ylang is the most promising material for essential oil extraction via MAE.
