The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of various concentrations of lime solution in the curing process of making gelatin from goat skin against water activity (Aw), ash content (%) and carbohydrate (%). The material used was a goat skin Ettawah Peranakan (PE) aged 1.5 - 5 years and lime (Ca (OH) 2). The method used is the method with the experiment using randomized block design and 3 replications. Treatment is based on the concentration of lime, K1 = 5%, = 10% K2, K3 and K4 = 15% = 20%. Research data that shows the difference, followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The variables measured are water activity (Aw), ash content (%) and carbohydrate (%). The results showed that the difference in the concentration of lime solution in the process of liming on the making of goat skin gelatin no effect (P> 0.05) on the value of water activity (Aw), ash content (%) and carbohydrate (%) produced goat skin gelatin . Treatment concentration of lime solution for 5, 10, 15 and 20% produced by 0.561 to 0.578 Aw, ash content of 0.953 to 2.220% and carbohydrates at 14.507 to 25.090%. Conclussion is the need to do further research to determine the amino acid components of goat skin gelatin or gelatin also compared with the skin of other animals and are expected to also be applicable for use in a wide variety of food products, such as yogurt sausage casings, edible film.
