KARAKTERISTIK FISIKO-KIMIA GELATIN DARI SIPOU (Siphonosoma australe-australe) ASAL SULAWESI TENGGARA

Abstract

Physico-Chemical Characterization of Sipou Gelatin (Siphonosoma australe-australe) from Southeast Sulawesi

ABSTRACT

         Nowadays people's concern about healthy and halal sources of gelatin is being discussed. Gelatin source development is currently underway, especially gelatin from fisheries products. The aim of this study was to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of gelatin from sipou from Southeast Sulawesi. Gelatin extraction used acid and base treatment, each treatment was three times replication. The analysis carried out by measuring the yield value, viscosity, water content, protein content, ash content, and fat content. The results of physical test of sipou gelatin showed that soaking with acid and base solution gave a yield value of 8.15 ± 0.014% - 9.10 ± 0.028% and a viscosity value of 2.47 ± 0.013 cP - 3.48 ± 0.042 cP. The chemical test of sipou gelatin showed that the value of water content, protein, ash, and fat are 8.40 ± 0.003 - 9.57 ± 0.271%, 79.85 ± 0.07 - 80.89 ± 1.08, 1.65 ± 0.005 - 3.67 ± 0.046, and 1.05 ± 0.07 - 2.75 ± 0.07 respectively.

ABSTRAK

Saat ini kekhawatiran masyarakat akan sumber gelatin yang sehat dan halal ramai diperbincangkan. Pengembangan sumber gelatin saat ini sedang dilakukan, khususnya gelatin yang bersumber dari hasil perikanan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui karakteristik fisik dan kimia gelatin dari sipou asal Sulawesi Tenggara. Ekstraksi gelatin menggunakan perlakuan asam dan basa, masing-masing perlakuan dilakukan pengulangan sebanyak tiga kali. Analisis yang dilakukan yaitu mengukur nilai rendemen,  viskositas, kadar air, kadar protein, kadar abu, dan kadar lemak. Hasil analisis dibahas secara deskriptif. Hasil pengujian fisik gelatin sipou menunjukkan bahwa perendaman dengan larutan asam dan basa memberikan nilai rendemen 8,15±0,014% - 9,10±0,028% serta nilai viskositas  2,47±0,013 cP - 3,48±0,042 cP. Pengujian kimia gelatin sipou menunjukkan nilai kadar air 8,40±0,003 - 9,57±0,271%, kadar protein 79,85±0,07 - 80,89±1,08, kadar abu 1,65±0,005 - 3,67±0,046, dan kadar lemak 1,05±0,07 - 2,75±0,07.
