The mixture product has been characterized by gas chromatography and mass spectrophotometer (GC-MS). The color of product has been compared with the standard of the mentioned schiff base which was confirmed as yellow colored solution. The lyrame was not detected and the verdantiol showed as the most obtained product. Keywords: Schiff base, Mixture, GC-MS, Fragrance. INTRODUCTION Perfume is one of chemical products which is used in daily life by men and women. 1 In its production process, raw materials such as fragrances are needed. 2,3 Fragrances are pure aroma oil or extracted oil from aroma compound which has not been added by alcohol or other chemicals. 4 Therefore, the smell of these compounds is very strong and the form is like an oil. 4 Raw material of this natural aroma depends on the result of natural products and weather condition. Consequently, many perfume producers have been developing synthetic aroma compound which can be easily produced continuously. 5 Synthetic raw material are is used in the production of aroma compounds is Schiff base. Schiff base is an aldehyde- or ketone-like compound in which the carbonyl group is replaced by an azomethine or imine group. 6-8 The advantage of using schiff base is its specific aroma characteristic and long-lasting, hence it can improve the quality of aroma compound. 9,10 There are several types of schiff bases such as lilyantine, jasmea, verdantiol, aurantiol, lyrame dan cyclantine. 11 Verdantiol, aurantiol and lyrame are a popular schiff bases which are used in the production of flower aroma compounds. 12 In order to produce verdantiol, aurantiol Brief Communication
