IDENTIFIKASI KANDUNGAN GIZI DAN PROFIL ASAM AMINO DARI IKAN SELUANG [Rasbora Sp] (IDENTIFICATION OF NUTRITIONAL CONTENT AND PROFILES OF AMINO ACID FROM SELUANG FISH [Rasbora Sp])

Abstract

South Kalimantan is predominantly rivers and swamps. The size of the swamp area is 235,677 hectares. With that area size, South Kalimantan has many types of river fish, including Seluang (Rasbora Sp). The research result was expected to provide information on nutrient, mineral, fatty acid and amino acid contents of seluang. The present study started with (1) sampling and sample preparation, (2) proximate analysis of seluang (water, ash, protein, mineral and fat contents), (3) fat extraction from seluang, (4) fatty acid content analysis using GCMS and (5) amino acid type analysis using HPLC. Seluang (Rasbora Sp) is caught from Barito River, Banjar Regency. Every 100 g of Seluang contained ±55.89 percent of water content, ±11.45 percent of ash content, ±47.54 percent of total protein, ±12.36 percent of total fat, ±2.9 percent of Fe, ±0.38 percent of Cu, ±3.64 percent of Zn and 100 gram of seluang contained 21.53 kilocalorie. Seluang contained 36,43 percent of oleic fatty acid (omega 9), 27.43 percent of palmitate, 11.97 percent of stearate, 3.75 percent of palmitoleate, 3.17 percent of laurate, 3.11 percent of myristate, and 2.98 percent of eicosapentanoic acid EPA (Omega 3). Meanwhile, the amino acid types in seluang (Rasbora Sp) were 14 types, consisting of 7 essential amino acids (leucine, lysine, valine, isoleucine, phenyl alanine, histidine, and methionine.
