THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES ON OIL YIELD OF WHITE-EEL TAILED CATFISH (Paraplotosus albilabris) EXTRACTED WITH DRY-RENDERING METHOD

Abstract

ABSTRACT

White eel tailed catfish (Paraplotosus albilabris)  is a fish that lives in coastal sea or river estuaries, this fish is a carnivorous fish. One way to get fish oil is by extraction. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of the oil and the yield of White-Eel Tailed Catfish. The method used was an experiment using a completely randomized non-factorial design with yield test parameters. The treatments used were different extraction temperatures (50, 60 and 70ºC) with 3 replications. The analysis of  results showed the characteristic color of white eel tailed catfish oil with a temperature of 50, 60, 70ºC was dark brown, light brown and alight yellow. The result of analysis of varience of different temperature had a significant effect on the yield of white-eel tailed catfish oil. The results of analysis of the yield of white eel tailed catfish oil at temperatures of 50, 60 and 70^οC were 3.01%, 3.43% and 3.67% respectively. The highest yield value of  white eel tailed catfish oil  exctracted  with temperature of 70ºC was 3.67%.
