The objectives of this project were to determine the effect of the temperature in each of the extraction method, to study the effectiveness of subcritical solvent extraction in comparison with supercritical solvent extraction in the previous studies and also to analyse the composition and thermal characteristic of product. Subcritical solvent extraction was extract octanol from coconut oil at temperatures between 50 °C to 90 °C at atmosphere pressures. Overall extraction and separation were constant at 120 minutes. The product was investigated through the Fourier Transform Infra-red Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). From the result, the yield of water bath extraction was less than simple distillation. The peak of octanol will be appear at approximately 3200-3550 cm-1. The flow activating energy was 26312.48 kJ/kmol. Coconut oil was showed the melting range of 17 – 32 °C which was comparable to DSC at scanning rate of 2 K/min. In conclusion, water bath extraction was able to extract more yields from coconut oil compared to simple distillation in same temperature and pressure. The advance extraction method which is supercritical solvent extraction is more advantageous in purification of octanol. 2014-03-12T07:09:07Z 2014-03-12T07:09:07Z 2012-06 Learning Object http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/32623 en Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) School of Bioprocess Engineering
