Deodorization is a crucial refining stage with an important effect on the quality of oil refined. We used steam distillation method to remove the smell of calophyllum inophyllum oil. We investigated the effect of various factors such as vaporization temperature, oil volume to the deodorization process. In laboratory conditions, at vaporization temperature of 140°C and oil volume of 200mL, the optimal time of deodorization process is 21 hours with 95% oil’s smell removed. In the other hands, deodorized oil still remains the benefit compents. The aim of this study was to eliminate unpleasant pungent smell of calophyllum inophyllum oil. In the other hands, deodorized oil still retain the beneficial component and properties eminece. Thereby, creating a substrate with great potential in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Also, deodorized calophyllum inophyllum oil will help increase the economic value of traditional calophyllum inophyllum oil.
