Pengaruh Suhu Pemanasan Yang Berbeda Pada Proses Deasetilasi Kitin Dari Cangkang Keong Sawah (Pila Ampullacea) Terhadap Karakteristik Kitosan
Freshwater snail (Pila ampullacea) is a mollusk animal of the Gastrophoda class. Freshwater snail is a hard and strong shield that protects the inside of the soft body and potentially contain chitin compound. One derivative of chitin which has been developed for wide application is chitosan. Chitosan was produced through several stages of demineralization, deproteinasi, and deacetylation. This study was aimed to determine the effect of different heating temperature in the chitin deacetylation process of freshwater snail shell on the characteristics of chitosan. The research method was an experimental method with varying heating temperature on the deacetylation process i.e 100 °C, 120 °C and 140 °C. The result of chemical analysis of freshwater snail shell had a moisture, ash, protein, fat, and carbohydrate content was 0.47%, 74.23%, 7.28, 0.06% and 17.96%, respectively. The chitin flour produced in this study had 40.00%yield 0.53% moisture content, 7.52% ash content, and36.50% of deacetylation degree. The chitosan produced shownthe influence of different heating temperature in the process of deacetylation chitosan process on freshwater mussel shells characteristics. The best result obtained in the flour of chitosan with140 0C of heating temperature treatment which produced 71.90% of yield, 0.33% moisture content, 6.42% ash content and 71.42% deacetylation degree.
