Demineralisasi Kitin Dari Limbah Udang Vanname (Litopenaeus Vannamei) Dengan Ph Berbeda Menggunakan Asam Sitrat
ABSTRACT
Vanname shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is widely consumed by the
community, on the other hand, the skin waste is underutilized. Shrimp shell has a
potential use as a chitin product. Chitin can be isolated from shrimp shell by
demineralization and then deproteination their shells. The demineralization
process was carried out using citric acid. This study aimed to determine the effect
of different pH on the use of citric acid in the manufacture of chitin. The research
method used was experimental composed as a non-factorial completely
randomized design (CRD) with 3 treatment levels, namely K1 (pH 4), K2 (pH 5)
and K3 (pH 6). The best characteristics of vannamei shrimp waste chitin with
citric acid at pH 4 indicated by the highest yield of 48.82%, water content 2.18%,
ash content 3.30%, and the degree of deacetylation of 40.3%.
