Fishbone is one form of waste from fish processing. Milkfish bone flour has high calcium and phosphorus content and can be an alternative source for the fulfillment of calcium and phosphorus in the body. The aimed of this research to find out the effect of NaOH concentration on the quality of milkfish bone meal (Chanos chanos). The research was conducted at the Animal Products Technology Laboratory, Tadulako University. Simultaneously, the analysis of calcium and water content was located at the Soil Science Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Tadulako. The length of time for the study is one month from March -April 2019. The research method that will be used is an experiment with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with the effect of NaOH concentration as follows: P1: 1% NaOH with a boiling temperature of 70 oC; P2: 2% NaOH with a boiling temperature of 70 oC; P3: 3% NaOH with a boiling temperature of 70 oC; and P4: 4% NaOH with a boiling temperature of 70 oC. The results of variance showed that it could be stated that the results of the analysis of calcium levels with the influence of NaOH concentration on the quality of milkfish bone meal do not have a significant effect on the value of calcium levels in fishbone meal 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.
