Abstract :
Gelatin is a protein obtained from the partial hydrolysis of collagen, which is a major
protein component in the skin, bones, hides and connective tissues of the animal's
body. The use of gelatin is very widespread in the food, non-food and pharmaceutical
industries. Received gelatin is obtained from the bones or skin of mammals, such as
cattle and pigs. This makes gelatin from mackerel fish bones as an alternative to
produce halal gelatin. Starfruit is one of the organic acids used as a modifier of
collagen fibers into gelatin. This study aims to determine the concentration of
starfruit citric acid concentration and immersion time used on the quality of gelatin
containing air content, ash content, protein content, yield, pH value, gel strength and
viscosity. The process of immersion of mackerel fish bones with concentrations of 10-
50% starfruit citric acid for 2 days, 3 days and 4 days. Based on research conducted,
the making of mackerel fish bone gelatin with 50% starfruit citric acid immersion and
4 days soaking time was the optimum condition to produce an air content of 9.14%,
ash content of 3.19%, protein content of 85, 68%, yield of 6.15%, pH value 6. Also
obtained results of gel strength and viscosity respectively 90.0742 gbloom and
21.4140 cPs.
