Minerals have an essential role in the human body. Information about the mineral content of haruan fish in Banjar Regency is very limited. This research aimed to determine the mineral compound of haruan fish originally from ponds in Banjar Regency. Pond-sourced fish samples were processed until they became powders. The ash compound of haruan fish powder was calculated using the gravimetric method. The mineral compound was analyzed using an XRF spectrometer. Wild haruan fish contained 98.85% macro minerals, with the mineral composition of 14.4% P (10.2 mg/kg), 19.9% Ca (19,9 mg/kg), 60.6% K (42.5 mg/kg), and 0.85% S (0.6 mg/kg). Farmed haruan fish contained 94,76% macro minerals, consisting of 15.6% P (12.9 mg/kg), 17.2% Ca (14.3 mg/kg), 61.1% K (50.8 mg/kg), and 0.86% S (0.7 mg/kg). Wild haruan contained 3.51% micro minerals, consisting of 4.44% Fe (3.7 mg/kg), 0.10% Cu (0.08 mg/kg), and 0.22% Zn (0.18 mg/kg). Farmed haruan contained 4.76% micro minerals, consisting of 4.44% Fe (3.7 mg/kg), 0.10% Cu (0.08 mg/kg), and 0.22% Zn (0.18 mg/kg). Wild haruan fish contained 0.56% trace element, 0.46% Rb (0.32 mg/kg), and 0.1% Re (0.07 mg/kg). Farmed haruan fish contained 0.42% trace element, 0.34% Rb (0.28 mg/kg), and 0.08% Re (0.06 mg/kg).
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.
