EKSTRAKSI DAN KARAKTERISTIK MINYAK IKAN SEMBILANG (Paraplotosus albilabris) DENGAN BAHAN PELARUT YANG BEBEDA

Abstract

This study aims to determine the characteristics of catfish (Paraplotosus albilabris) oil by using different solvent extraction agent. The method used in this study is experimental method using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) as a treatment  is  a  different  type  of  solvent  i.e.  ethanol,  ethyl acetate, and n-hexane. The result of fish oil extraction which obtained using ethanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane solvent produced different rendement levels i.e. 14.59%, 11.28%, and

7.48%, respectively. The Acid value of catfish oil using ethanol solvent is 224.06 mg/g, ethyl acetate solvent 206.76 mg/g, and

n-heksan solvent 106.83 mg/g. The Iodine value of catfish oil using  ethanol  solvent  is  83.66  mg/ml,  ethyl  acetate  solvent

72.81   mg/ml,   and   n-hexane   solvent   82.29   mg/ml.   The

Straaponification value of catfish oil using ethanol solvent is

334.58 mg/ml, ethyl acetate solvent is 333.70 mg/ml, and n- hexane solvent 303.17 mg/ml.
