ORANGE ESSENTIAL OIL SKIN REACTION
TO BALLOON
CHAPTER I
PREFACE
1.1 BackgroundAs we know, orange is one of the fruits that contain lots
of vitamin C. But in fact, there are many substances that are
contained in orange. One of them is the essential oils
contained in the orange peel. Essential oils are widely used
for material air freshener, perfume materials, and to change
the image of the taste of food more attractive. In addition,
citrus essential oil also has health benefits that are used as
aromatherapy. The smell of citrus can stabilize the nervous
system, causing feelings of pleasure and calm, increased
appetite, and cure of disease.
Is there a reaction between the essential oil from orange
peel to the balloon that is blown?
And does not react if the balloons are blown soaked in
essential oil of orange peel? To answer these questions, let
us do the experiments.
1.2 Problems1. The substance of what is contained in the orange peel?
2. What happens if the substances contained in the orange
peel on the balloon?
3. And what happens if the balloon is immersed in a solution
of the quintessence of substance?
1.3 Purpose1. To know the content is in the orange peel
2. To know the things that happens when a substance
contained in the orange peel on the balloon.
3.To determine the final condition of balloon soaked in orange peel pith.
CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION
2.1 Basic TheoryOrange is a kind of plant which from genus of citrus and
classified into the tribe Rutaceae. Citrus fruit tree-shaped
and have a round shape with a textured leather. While still
young, citrus fruit has a sour taste, but after the sour taste
of ripe covered with a distinctive sweet taste.
Orange peel contains oil called essential oils. Essential
oils are volatile by nature. Microscopically, epidermal peel
of citrus fruit consisting of a layer of rectangular cells,
berkutikula; stomatal cell types anomositik with 4 steps. His
skin was composed of three layers of cells, namely:
1. The outer layer is rigid and contains many essential oil
glands. This layer is called Layer Flavedo. Flavedo a
cell containing prismatic crystals of calcium oxalate.
2. The middle layer which acts like a sponge, made up of
spongy tissue that is usually white. This layer is called
the albedo layer. Albedo layer is almost the same as
Flavedo, but the cell size is larger than Flavedo and
further into the cell wall, the thicker. In this flavedo
and albedo are skizogen oil cavity and lisigen with
diverse sizes. And from the cavity that we can find the
essential oils.
2.2 Work Procedures1. Tools:
a) Scissors
b) Cup
c) Plastic
2. Materials:
a) Orange
b) Balloon
Way of working I (balloon blown) :a. Prepare the oranges and balloons
b. Peel the oranges, and take part of his skin.
c. Blow up balloons strained
d. Tie the ends of the balloon until there is no gap to
allow the discharge of air
e. Squeeze the orange peel toward the balloon surface
f. Observe what happens
Ways of working II (balloon soaked) :
a. Prepare a balloon that is not blown, fresh orange peel,
and glass.
b. Cut the balloon into sections
c. mash orange peel.
d. Insert the orange peel that has been mashed into the
glass.
e. Add a little water to the mashed orange peel.
f. Water will be the quintessence citrus essential oil mixed
g. Take the leftover mashed orange peel.
h. We only use essence
i. Then enter the balloon pieces into the quintessence in
the cups are closed by a plastic top.
j. Soak for 24 hours
k. And observe the changes in the color of the balloon
2.3 Data Analysis and DiscussionTreatment Observation
The balloon is blown up to strain,
and given the essential oil
splashes.
The balloon erupted in
a matter of 1 second.
Pieces of skin balloon inserted
into quintessence essential oil and
left for 24 hours.
The color of balloon
skin is fades.
1. Data Analysis
2. Discussion
Orange peel contains essential oils or oils ether are
commonly called. Based on the experimental balloons that get
splashes of orange peel essential oil can erupt. And balloon
pieces soaked in orange peel quintessence color will fade. Why
is that?
Two experimental above have the same relationship as the
cause. From the first experiment, the balloon erupted because
of volatile essential oils will react with forming polymer
rubber balloon and make it stretch. The stretch polymer will
cause the balloon can no longer hold pressure of the air
inside and make it erupt. The polymer is a chemical compound
that has a very high molecular mass and composed of simple
repeat units joined through polymerization. Polymerization is
a process of reacting monomer molecules together in a chemical
reaction to form three-dimensional networks or polymer chains.
From the second experiment, the balloon skin essential oil
soaked quintessence color fades, because the essential oils
cause the balloon to stretch the polymer skin.
CHAPTER III
CLOSING
3.1 Resume
Essential oils have a volatility that is able to stretch the
polymer rubber balloon. Marked with a balloon burst, and faded
the balloons color.
