Protein is a polymer consisting of amino acid monomers which are connected to form linear bonds called Peptide bonds. The presence of nitrogen is a special feature of protein compounds because this element is not found in simple fat and carbohydrate compounds. This study aims to determine the protein content in corn flour, cassava flour, and pumpkin flour using the Kjedhal method. Protein analysis by the Kjedhal method is basically divided into three stages, namely: the destruction stage, the distillation stage, and the titration stage. The results showed that the protein content in corn flour was 9.32%, cassava flour was 8.45%, and pumpkin flour was 0.62%. The conclusion of this study is the greatest protein content found in corn flour.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
