Quality Control of Physicochemistry Parameter of Oil and Eugenol Isolated From Flower and Leaves of Eugenia caryophyllata Thunb (Zanzibar Type) in Tolitoli Central of Sulawesi, Indonesia

An investigation of quality control of physicochemistry parameter of oil and eugenol isolated from flowers and leaves of Eugenia caryophyllata Thunb (Zanzibar Type) in Tolitoli. Central of Sulawesi has been done. Clove oil was obtained by water-stcam distillation. After that, the density, refraxtometry index, solubility and concentration (by gas chromatography) of oil and eugenol were assayed. The results show that oil of nowers and leaves have density d = 1.04 and 1.04 g/ml; n = 1.5346 and 1.5346; solubility in alcohol 1:1 and 1:1 , eugenol concentration 79.42 and 78.57%. The isolated eugenol had the concentration of 80.73 and 83.53%, d = 1.07 and 1.06 yml n= 1.5415 and 1.5417 and solubility in alcohol 1:1 and 1:1. There were no significant differences between flowers and leaves in these parameter (p
