Preservation Vy Using Natural Compound of Picung Kernel (Pangium edule ReinW) Influence on Freshness and Safety of Marckerel (Rastrelliger brachysoma blkr)

Abstract

The lack of ice used as fish freshness control leads the fisherman to use picung kernel (Pangium edule ReinW) to manage the fish freshness. Beside consumed traditionally as food in Indonesia, the picung kernel is also used as a medical substance to cure scabies, as insecticide, soap, or as a raw material for adible oil and colourant of yarn, or as fish presertative.
