Abstract
Arak is alcoholic beverages are only allowed to contain ethanol, but unfortunate if misused its use so
that the wine can be used as a substitute of reactant in the manufacture of biodiesel. The purpose of this study
was to determine the amount of the ethyl ester is formed in product of biodiesel. The methode used cooking oils
by households and the level of wine as a reactant in the process of esterification and transesterification using
phosphoric acid. Analysis ethyl esters in biodiesel by GC-MS that the results showed ethyl laurate the maximum
produced (39.55%) at a retention time of 12.741 minutes by ethanol p.a in the process of biodiesel and ethyl
myristate each 36.33%; 48,09%; 32,62%; and 39,62% at retention time 15.008 minutes using arak destillated
one, twice, and three times.

Keywords: level of wine, ethyl ester, biodiesel

INTRODUCTION
Arak as one of the drinks in Bali, production was still in level of households with
traditional distillation. Arak is obtained from coconut and palm trees that plants richness

Indonesia which allows it to be processed to meet the energy for transportation (biodiesel).
Arak of palm and coconut are produced by the domestic industry could reach 30 to 50% [4]
depending on the habits and way of distillation performed. Enau ethanol content in wine
varies greatly depending on the customs processing or process.
Product biodiesel derived renewable because the reactants and reagents derived from
plants, namely oil. Because wine grapes are used then the ethanol processing into biodiesel is
referred to as ethyl ester, or more commonly called Fatty Acid Ethyl Ester (my face). This
was stated in a national energy policy (Instruction No. 1/2006 and Presidential Decree No.
5/2006). Oils derived from plants such as sunflower and waste, canola, soybean, olive, corn
and hazelnuts using methanol and hydrochloric acid catalyst there was no significant
difference in the biodiesel produced [3]. The use of used cooking oil and ethanol pa with GCMS, the maximum qualitative ethyl ethyl lauric Other [5, 2].
Based on this, the research is directed at the establishment of the percentage of each
ethyl esters in biodiesel made of vegetables with varied concentrations of the wine.
MATERIALS AND METHOD
Chemicals used in this study varied levels of palm wine, cooking oil, phosphoric acid 85% pa
Merck, NaOH, distilled water, calcium chloride, microfibre GF/C. The equipment used is a specific
set of reflux, analytical balance, and GC-MS. The method used for the manufacture of biodiesel is
through esterification and transesterification reaction between gin that used cooking oil with ethanol
content between 35 to 80%. Results were analyzed the percentage of biodiesel through the output
GCMS (peak area).


RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Ethyl ester (FAEE) formed in biodiesel from waste cooking oil with ethanol than
ethanol from wine obtained using phosphoric acid catalyst in varying results with m/z 88 for
specific fragment in FAEE. Acid can be used the catalyst to make biodiesel [1,5]. The use of
ethanol is obtained ethyl laurate pro analyzes the maximum (39.55%) at a retention time of
12.741 minutes. The same results have been obtained only appear at longer retention time is
16.52 minutes [6], this means that the analysis time ethyl laurate affected by operational
conditions GC-MS. Detection of the next ester compound is ethyl myristate (retention time
15.008 minutes) and stearate (retention time 18.953 minutes) respectively 19.31%, then ethyl
palmitate (retention time 17.068 minutes) 10.84%, and other esters with a percentage of less
than 10%. However, the use of wine as a reagent (substitute ethanol pa) ethyl myristate
produce the maximum (36.33%) as shown in Figure 1 (a). Reagent wine distilled one time as
shown (48,09%) in Figure 1 (b), wine distillated twice times (32,62%) as shown in Figure 1
(c), as well as the total chromatogram biodiesel using a reagent ethanol, arak, arak distillation
first time, wine distilled twice times, and the arak distilled three times (39,62%) as in Figure
1 (d).

FAEE with m/z 88 fit or continuation of previous studies that the FAME for using
methanol appeared at m/z 74 and 87 are specific, it is submitted in the National Engineering
Hospitality Conference 2014 and has not shown a determining effect of type of ester of the
engine [7,9]. Alleged ionic compounds with m/z 88 in FAEE are formed in this study is -+CCOOC2H5 as ethyl carboxylate, that all biodiesel from waste cooking oil with ethanol varies
above can form esters, only the percentage varies depending on the levels of ethanol used.
Ethanol content in wine is 39.24%; Arak distilled once (60.19%); Gin distilled twice

(64.61%); and Arak distilled three times (79.32%) in before studying by Adnyana and
Suaniti. This study supported that use waste cooking oil as biodiesel feedstock using an acid
catalyst can be formed biodiesel without significant differences of the various types of oil
such as sunflower oil and waste, soybean oil, and others. Analysis biodiesel from different
oils have been worked on chromatographic and reviewed [3,8].

Ethyl ester in biodiesel has made from waste coconut oil and ethanol p.a.; arak; arak
has destilled one, twice, and three times. The results showed that ethanol p.a. formed
maximum of ethyl laurate (39.55%) at a retention time of 12.741 minutes, ethyl myristate
(retention time 15.008 minutes) and stearate (retention time 18.953 minutes) respectively
were 19.31%, then ethyl palmitate (retention time 17.068 minutes) was 10.84%, and other
esters with a percentage of less than 10%. The next analysis showed that arak and detillated
one, twice, and three times showed maximum of ethyl myristate produce the maximum, each
36.33%; 48,09%; 32,62%; and 39,62%.
