The calibration curve was made in concentrations of 0, 15, 20, 22, 25, and 30 mg / ml and obtained the regression equation Y = 0.0022x-0.0017. The result of data analysis using t-test obtained p = 0,73> 0,05 meaning Ho accepted and Ha rejected, while result of manual analysis obtained by t-count (-0,3706) <t table (2,262), so it can be concluded that There was no significant difference between nipagin content of instant noodle soy sauce and bottled soy sauce. .
