Karakteristik Gel Pada Aromaterapi Dari Karagenan Rumput Laut (Eucheuma Cottonii) Diekstrak Dengan Larutan Kalium Hidroksida (Koh)
ABSTRACT
This study aims to determine the characteristics of aromatherapy
carrageenan gel from seaweed (Eucheuma cottonii) using 5% KOH concentration
immersion and without KOH immersion and also to find out which one is the best
for making seaweed aromatherapy fragrance gel. The test used was the T-test with
two types of treatment, namely without KOH immersion (control) (F1), and 5%
KOH immersion (F2), with 3 replications so there were 6 experimental units.
Parameters measured were organoleptic test (hedonic quality) in the form of
visual test and chemical analysis in the form of ash content. This research was
carried out at the Fishery Products Technology Laboratory, Food Chemistry
Laboratory, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Riau University, Natural
Mineral Materials Technology Laboratory Chemical Engineering, Faculty of
Engineering, Riau University in October 2021. The results showed that the best
treatment was using 5% KOH concentration which the higher the visual value of
8.19 with specifications that are dense, elastic and already resembles a gel,.
Meanwhile, the higher the ash content was 28.45% without KOH immersion.
Keywords: carrageenan flour, aromatherapy, potassium hydroxide
