Abstract
Eucalyptus has a variety of species, one of which is E. camaldulensis. The
leaves of the E. camaldulensis plant are known to contain terpeniod compounds
which are the majority of the content in essential oils, this study tested the levels of
essential oil E. camaldulensis by liquid distillation and gas chromatography
methods. Distillation of eucalyptus leaves using the steam-water distillation
method. Then the refining results in the form of essential oil oil conducted oil
quality testing based on the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) eucalyptus oil
covers color, odor, refractive index, solubility in ethanol, and sineol levels. Analysis
of sineol levels is performed using the Gas Chromatography method. A study was
conducted on the quality of eucalyptus oil from various types of eucalyptus and
other types. The results of the analysis obtained showed that eucalyptus oil leaves
E. camaldulensis has a yield of 1.02% with a compound content of 1.8 ? Sineol of
69.44%. The oil quality tests conducted include: color, smell, refractive index,
solubility in ethanol, and sineol levels meet the SNI requirements of eucalyptus oil.

The results of the E. camaldulensis oil quality study compared to the quality of other
types of eucalyptus obtained from the results of lietarur studies do not differ much
and meet the requirements of SNI eucalyptus oil.
