Abstract

ABSTRACT

Acrylamide has been classified as a cancer causing compound or potentially carcinogenic in humans. Acrylamide is produced from foods that contain high carbohydrates with temperatures over 1200C in processing. One of foods that are popular and potentially produce acrylamide compounds was fried potato. This study aims to determine the levels of acrylamide contained in french fries using UV-Vis Spectrophotometry method. Samples were obtained from 3 fast food restaurants in the City of Manado. In this study the analysis of acrylamide compounds from 3 samples were carried out at 267 nm wavelength using an aquadest blank with 2 repetitions. The estimated result of three samples are K samples of 0.69 µg/g, M of 0.58 µg/g, and T samples of 0.67 µg/g. The three samples did not contain acrylamide because the levels obtained were still below the detection limit (LOD) of 1.54 µg/g.

 

Keywords: Acrylamide, French Fries, UV-Vis Spectrophotometry, Fast Food Restaurants in Manado.

 

ABSTRAK

Akrilamida telah diklasifikasikan sebagai senyawa yang menyebabkan kanker atau berpotensi sebagai karsinogenik pada manusia. Akrilamida dihasilkan dari makanan yang mengandung karbohidrat tinggi dengan suhu lebih dari 1200C pada pengolahannya. Makanan yang banyak digemari serta berpotensi menghasilkan senyawa akrilamida salah satunya adalah kentang goreng. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menetapkan kadar akrilamida yang terkandung dalam kentang goreng dengan menggunakan metode Spektrofotometri UV-Vis. Sampel diperoleh dari 3 restoran cepat saji di Kota Manado.  Pada penelitian ini analisis senyawa akrilamida dari 3 sampel dilakukan pada panjang gelombang 267 nm menggunakan blanko aquadest dengan 2 kali pengulangan. Hasil perhitungan dari ketiga sampel adalah sampel K sebesar 0,69 µg/g, M sebesar 0,58 µg/g, dan sampel T sebesar 0,67 µg/g. Ketiga sampel tidak mengandung akrilamida karena kadar yang didapat masih berada di bawah batas deteksi (LOD) yang didapat yaitu 1,54 µg/g.
