Karakteristik Filet Ikan Patin (Pangasius sp.) Dalam Negeri dan Impor

Abstract

Ikan patin (Pangasius sp.) merupakan salah satu ikan nasional yang budidayanya meningkat secara signifikan setiap tahunnya. Kebutuhan ikan patin di Indonesia mencapai 700 ton/bulan, produksi patin dalam negeri hanya 100-120 ton, sisanya diperoleh dari impor. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menentukan dan membandingkan karakteristik filet ikan patin dalam negeri dan impor. Tahapan penelitian yang dilakukan meliputi analisis proksimat, profil asam lemak, profil asam amino, warna, konsentrasi mioglobin, dan uji organoleptik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa filet patin Jambi mempunyai kadar protein, kadar lemak, dan kadar abu tertinggi dan berbeda nyata dengan yang lainnya (P<0,05). Filet patin Jambi mengandung asam lemak jenuh (SAFA) dan asam lemak tak jenuh tunggal (MUFA) tertinggi, namun kandungan asam lemak tak jenuh jamak (PUFA) terendah. Kandungan asam amino tertinggi terdapat pada filet patin Jambi. Analisis warna dengan nilai L, a, dan b tertinggi secara berturut-turut yaitu filet patin Karawang, impor, dan Jambi. Berdasarkan uji organoleptik, perbedaan lokasi tidak mempengaruhi cita rasa dan aroma sampel.

Catfish (Pangasius sp.) is the one of national freshwater fish that its cultivation increases significantly every year. The demand of catfish fillet in Indonesia reaches 700 ton/month but domestic just produces about 100-120 ton/month; the others imports from abroad. The objective of this study was to determine and compare the sensory and chemical characteristic of domestic and import catfish. This study determine proximate composition, fatty acid and amino acid profiles, color, myoglobin concentration, and organoleptic test. The result showed that Jambi’s catfish fillet had the highest protein, fat, and ash contents and significantly difrerent with the others (P<0.05). Jambi’s catfish fillet contained the highest amino acid it also had the highest saturated fatty acids (SAFA) and mono unsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). However, it had the lowest poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). In adition, the highest value of L, a, and b were found on fillet from Karawang’s catfish, import catfish, and Jambi’s catfish, respectively. The highest myoglobin concentration obtained from Jambi. Based on organoleptic test, differences of location did not affect to taste and smell of sample.
