Abstract

The use of appropriate anti-microbial compounds can extend the shelf life of a product as well as ensure the safety of the product. That requires a material that is naturally anti-microbial so as not harmful to health. The use of chitosan to inhibit microbial activity on mackerel (Rastrelliger sp) and catfish (Clarias batrachus) to test it's effectiveness. In this research chitosan that used as an anti-microbial extracted from the shells of crabs (Portunus sanginolentus L.). Chitin and chitosan that were successfully extracted were characterized it's results includes moisture content testing, ash content, and degrees of deacetylation. Characterized chitosan, were used as an anti-microbial mackerel (Rastrelliger sp) and catfish (Clarias batrachus). Chitosan was dissolved in 1% acetic acid with varying concentrations of chitosan as 1%, 1.5%, 2%, and 2.5%. The storage time of fish: 0 hours, 10 hours, 15 hours, 20 hours, and 25 hours. The results of research chitosan form as granules / powder, 5% moisture content, ash content 2% and the degree of deacetylation which amounted to 61,08%. Chitosan solution test results on fish showed that fish preservation by soaking with chitosan addition of 1.5% was the best variable and could extend the shelf life of fish more than 5 hours while fish preservation by spraying gave the best variable with addition of chitosan 2.5% and could extend the shelf life of fish less than 5 hours.

Abstract

The efforts that should be made to maintain the quality of fish is by using antimicrobial compounds, one of which is chitosan. In this research, characterization of chitosan from shell snail (Achatina fulica) has a water content of 5.07%, ash content of 1.8% and the degree of deacetylation (DD) 75.13%. The use of chitosan in this study was to determine the optimal conditions on chitosan concentration and storage time of mackerel (Rastrelliger sp) and catfish (Clarias batrachus) from the microbiological and organoleptic aspects. This research used a variation of the concentration of chitosan was 1%, 1.5%, 2% and 2.5% dissolved in 1% acetic acid. Observations were do with variation the storage time 10 hours, 15 hours, 20 hours and 25 hours and the provision of chitosan solution by soaking and spraying with the observation parameters Total Volatile Base (TVB), organoleptic and pH of fish. Based on the analysis, the results showed that the maximum concentration of chitosan on mackerel (Rastrelliger sp) and catfish (Clarias batrachus) is 1,5% and treatment by means of immersion is the best treatment. The use of chitosan solution on mackerel (Rastrelliger sp) survived 20 hours while catfish (Clarias batrachus) survived 15 hours.
