PENGARUH PEREBUSAN TERHADAP KARAKTERISTIK ASAM AMINO DAN LOGAM BERAT PADA DAGING KEONG BAKAU (Telescopium telescopium)

Abstract

Amino acids are important constituents of proteins in the body. Heavy metal is a metal element with a density of more than 5 g / cm3. this study aims to determine the yield of mangrove snail (Telescopium telescopium), proximate composition, characteristics of amino acids and heavy metals (Pb, Cd and Hg) fresh and boiled mangrove snails from Tanjung Unggat Coastal Tanjungpinang City. The study began with sampling mangrove snails, morphometric measurements, body yield (shells, meat and innards) and analysis of chemical content, amino acids and heavy metals in mangrove snail meat. The results of the proximate research, the highest value was found in fresh mangrove snail water content which was equal to 78.58%. The highest amino acid content in mangrove snails was found in glutamic acid at 25.121 Heavy metals Pb, Cd and Hg were not detected in mangrove snail meat.
