Studi Karakteristik Kimiawi Dari Garam Daun Mangrove (Sonneratia Alba)
Abstract
The use of high sodium table salt (NaCl) in every daily food processing can lead to uncontrolled sodium consumption so that it can cause hypertension. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of leaves of the Sonneratia alba mangrove plant as a functional salt preparation and to determine the chemical characteristics of the leaf salts produced. One way to maintain or control the amount of sodium consumed is to consume functional salt. S. alba is a type of mangrove leaf that will store excess salt in the leaf area. Therefore, the leaves of the S. alba mangrove have the potential to be used as functional salt. The method used in this study was an experiment with 3 replications and through 4 stages, namely 1) raw material extraction and preparation, 2) manufacture of mangrove leaf flour, 3) extraction and manufacture of mangrove leaf salt, and 4) characterization of the resulting salt. The characterization that has been done consists of analysis of yield, water content, ash content, levels of Na and K, and levels of NaCl. The results obtained from this study are that the old and young leaves of the S. alba mangrove plant have the potential to be used as functional salt preparations with the characteristics in order were a yield value of 6.96%, 9.33%; water content were 4.06%, 5,07%; ash content were 37.06%, 36,59%; ratio Na:K of 2.01, 1.27; and an average value of NaCl of 24.43%, 19.53%.
