This study aims to investigate the effect of amount of citronellal (20 mL and 30 mL) and reaction time (5 hours and 6 hours) on menthol yield. Reaction was conducted in a reflux system at 80°C with isopropanol solvent and acid activated Ni/bentonite catalyst and reduced with dragonfruit peel extract. The product was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The presence of menthol was confirmed. The results showed that menthol yield increased with increasing reaction time, with an optimum yield of 21.94% at 20 mL citronellal and 6 hours reaction time. However, increasing the amount of citronellal to 30 mL did not result in a significant increase in yield. With further optimization, this method could potentially be used more efficiently in the synthesis of menthol date: 2025-03-10 type: Thesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: id identifier: https://digilib.uin-suka.ac.id/id/eprint/71139/1/20106030047_BAB-I_IV-atau-V_DAFTAR-PUSTAKA.pdf format: text language: id identifier: https://digilib.uin-suka.ac.id/id/eprint/71139/2/20106030047_BAB-II_sampai_SEBELUM-BAB-TERAKHIR.pdf identifier: Reshinta Ayu Herawati, NIM.: 20106030047 (2025) SINTESIS MENTOL DARI SITRONELAL ISOLAT MINYAK SEREH DENGAN METODE ONE-POT SYSTEM BERPELARUT ISOPROPANOL MENGGUNAKAN KATALIS NI/BENTONIT YANG DIREDUKSI EKSTRAK KULIT BUAH NAGA: PENGARUH WAKTU REAKSI DAN JUMLAH REAKTAN.
