Extraction Chlorophyll Water Hyacinth

Abstract

The purposes of the Instant Chlorophyll Extract Beverage Power from Water Hyacinth. The study begins with finding the suitable time of using ethyl alcohol as solvent in extracting Chlorophyll from Water Hyacinth. By soaking Water Hyacinth in ethyl alcohol for 3 periods of time including 3, 5, and 7 (hours), it was found that the most suitable time of using ethyl alcohol as the extracting solvent 5 hours with the amount of Chlorophyll (a) of 0.56 ± 0.54 and Chlorophyll (b) of 0 .82 ± 0 . 6 4 . According to the study of sugar content in ready-made Chlorophyll extract from Water Hyacinth volume of sugar in 3 portions including 20, 30, and 40 percent of the Chlorophyll content, it was found that tasters gave similar scores of satisfaction in terms of appearance, color, odor, flavor, and general satisfaction. However, the ready-made Chlorophyll extract from Water Hyacinth with the sugar content of 2 0 percent received highest score of satisfaction and analysis physical and chemical, it was found that ready-made Chlorophyll extract from Water Hyacinth has luminance (*L) of 37.33 ± 0.10, red component (a*) was -31.95 ± 0.06, and yellow component (b*) was 33.04 ± 0.34, the amount of Water Activity was 0.41 ± 0.05, the humidity was 126 ± 0.34.
