Abstract

T his study aims to determine the characteristics of catfish (Paraplotosus albilabris) oil by using different solvent extraction agent. The method used in this study is experimental method using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) as a treatment is a different type of solvent i.e. ethanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane. The result of fish oil extraction which obtained using ethanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane solvent produced different rendement levels i.e. 14.59%, 11.28%, and 7.48%, respectively. The Acid value of catfish oil using ethanol solvent is 224.06 mg/g, ethyl acetate solvent 206.76 mg/g, and n-heksan solvent 106.83 mg/g. The Iodine value of catfish oil using ethanol solvent is 83.66 mg/ml, ethyl acetate solvent 72.81 mg/ml, and n-hexane solvent 82.29 mg/ml. The Straaponification value of catfish oil using ethanol solvent is 334.58 mg/ml, ethyl acetate solvent is 333.70 mg/ml, and n- hexane solvent 303.17 mg/ml.
