The jam is a semi-solid food made from fruit or other processed product. The manufacturing process can add food additives (BTP), one of which is artificial sweeteners such as cyclamate. Cyclamate can be harmful to health if consumed in levels that exceed the maximum limit.The purpose of this research was to identificate and determine the cyclamate content of unbranded jam in the traditional market town of makassar. The type of research used is laboratory observation with simple random sampling technique. This research  was conducted qualitatively (depositional method) and quantitatively (gravimetric method). Based on the results of the research from 7 (seven) samples of unmerck jam there were 2 (two) positive samples containing cyclamate with cyclamate levels obtained, namely the K sample 0f 42.273,78 mg/kg and sample T3 of 49, 822. 67 mg/kg. In this study it can be concluded that 2 (two) samples of unbranded jam contained cyclamate levels that exceed the maximum limit set by BPOM No. 4 of 2014, namely 1000 mg/kg and so it is not safe for consumption.

At the present time there is an increasing awareness of the potential harmful effects of various chemical food additives used to delay spoilage. This resulted in the search for natural substances which may prevent oxidation of various lipids, a main cause of the onset of rancidity. Various algae were examined for their potential as sources of antioxidants. As part of that search, the amount of doublebonds in their constituent compounds and their antioxidant (AO) and lipoxygenase (LOX) activities were followed in some microalgal species. The effect of light intensity, salinity, and temperature on the AO activity of lipid extracts from the microalgaNaviculasp. was studied. Maximum AO activity was obtained inNaviculagrown under low light intensity. AO activity of various algal fractions was studied both as inhibition of LOX activity and of linoleate autooxidation. Most of the LOX inhibitive activity was found in the membranal lipid-soluble fractions, whereas the inhibition of autooxidation was associated with the water-soluble components of the cell cytoplasm.
