Karakteristik Dan Efektivitas Nanokitosan Udang Kipas (Thenus Orientalis) Dalam Penurunan Kolesterol
Slipper lobster live in sandy and muddy bottom waters at depths of 10-200 meters, and are found throughout Indonesian waters. This shrimp has the largest proportion of carapace parts, approximately 50%, which is a source of waste, but can be utilized as functional food in the form of chitin and chitosan. One of the qualities of chitin and chitosan depends on the demineralization process. The potential of this shrimp has not been fully utilized due to the lack of biological information and chemical levels of minerals after the demineralization process. This study aims to obtain descriptive information and mineral levels in flour, chitin, and chitosan. This research used descriptive method. Parameters observed included morphology, proportion, and mineral content. The results showed that slipper lobster weighs about 80-240 g with a length of 15.2-24.7 cm, has the largest percentage of carapace at 53.85%. The yield and mineral content of flour, chitin and chitosan of slipper lobster carapace are as follows: yield 29.04%, 41.02%, 33.42%, water 2.36%, 3.96%, 3.25%, ash 52.89%, 8.27%, 3.16%, potassium 55.73 mg/L, 9.09 mg/L, 4.55 mg/L, magnesium 37.23 mg/L, 5.59 mg/L, 5.95 mg/L, calcium 766.87 mg/L, 137.62 mg/L, 126.91 mg/L, sodium 146.62 mg/L, 17.82 mg/L, 10.73 mg/L, iron 12.82 mg/L, 1.89 mg/L, 1.72 mg/L, phosphorus 0.17 mg/L, 0.06 mg/L, 0.05 mg/L.
