The Characteristic of Calcium Fortified Fish Keropok from Belida Fish Bone
Abstract<br />Belida (Chitala sp.) bone is one of the waste from amplang processing which not treated properly<br />yet until now especially in East Kalimantan. One type of the usage of this waste is processed to fish bone<br />powder as calcium source which can be added to various food formulations such as keropok. The aim of<br />this study was to determine the chemical characteristics of belida fishbone powder added keropok Observed<br />parameters in this study were moisture content, ash content, protein content, fat content, calcium content,<br />phosphor content and whiteness. The method applied the experimental design was Completely Randomized<br />Design with five treatments of 0% (K0), 5% (K1), 10% (K2), 15% (K3) dand 20% (K4) fishbone powder<br />addition with three replications to each treatments. The results showed that the addition of belida bone<br />powder hadn’t significant effect to moisture of fortified keropok while had significant effect on ash, protein,<br />fat, calcium, phosphor content and whitness. The higher addition of fishbone powder increasing the value of<br />ash, calcium, phosphor and whiteness but decreasing protein and fat content of fortifief keropok. The result<br />showed that K3 was the best treatment with 5.64% calcium content.<br /><br />
