Abstract

One of Indonesias natural resources that have not been widely used is natural fiber or cellulose from tobacco. Previous study revealed tobacco stem contains significant level of cellulose, around 50%. Cellulose extraction process produces different rendement level, depending on the type of raw material and treatment used. This also means purity level of cellulose produced to be different. This paper presents the effect of temperature variations on tobacco stem rendement level and alfa-cellulose content. Extraction of tobacco stem was conducted using base method. The results showed that the highest cellulose yield was 76.25% with alfa-cellulose levels of 82% at temperature of 150^oC

Keywords: cellulose, tobacco stem, extraction, temperature
