Natural polyphenols found in plants are secondary metabolites and act as natural antioxidants. Phenols prevent lipid oxidation by donating their hydrogen to free radicals generated between reactions of oxygen with unsaturated fatty acids. This work aims to examine turmeric extract for its capacity to act as an antioxidant and pour point depressant additive in biolubricants. The study involved extracting turmeric rhizome and analyzing the extract using the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques to identify phenolic compounds and the nature of bonds in terms of abundance peak areas. The yield of concentrated turmeric rhizome extract by weight was 3.7%. The FTIR analysis revealed O-H band at 3336 cm−1, C-H asymmetric and symmetric stretching at 2940 and 2834 cm−1, C=C cyclic ring at 1680–1515 cm−1. The phenols detected by the GC-MS technique are phenol, 2 -methoxy-3-(2-propenyl) occupying 36.3% area at 16.5 min retention time and Phenol, 2-methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)-, acetate having 3.8% area at 3.8 min retention time. The results show promising capacity of turmeric rhizome extract to act as antioxidant and pour point depressant additive in biolubricants. |
