manuscript (English):
The increasing amount of waste in the community has become a complex problem to solve. Among the waste is organic waste, such as household waste, dried leaves, fabrics made from natural fibers (Suyitno, 2007). This encourages many people to process the waste into more valuable items, such as the utilization of skin from fruit and grain from organic waste into something of value. One way of utilizing fruit waste into something valuable is the extraction of essential oils from fruit skin (Astarini, 2010 and Fong, 2012). One of the fruit peels that can be used is sweet orange peel (Citrus sinensis). Chemical compounds contained in the sweet orange peel can be utilized because it has constituent groups pectin (Srivastava and Malviya, 2011) and essential oils.
Pangkalpinang is a city that has many natural resources, one of which is citrus fruits, people who are used to eating oranges, and then the skin is thrown away even though the discarded skin has many benefits for us. This happens without us realizing that small things should be able to be used as best we can.
Because the majority of the roadside in Kota Pangkalpinang many are selling fruits including sweet oranges. The merchant does not realize that not the contents of the fruit alone are useful but the skin as well. From this try research on the manufacture of oil whose raw material is sweet orange peel. Citrus plants are the national leading fruit commodity because it has a high economic value, the adaptation is very wide, very popular and favored by almost all levels of society, and the value of imports tends to increase (balitbang, 2016).
