SAKARIN PADA JUS ALPUKAT YANG DIJUAL DI JL KARYA KARANG BEROMBAK, MEDAN

Abstract

Examination of saccharin in avocado juice sold at Jl Karya Karang Berombak Medan in 2021. This study aims to determine whether or not saccharin is present and to determine the levels of saccharin in avocado juice sold on Jl Karya Karang Berombak Medan. This reseach was conducted using the acid-base titration method and was carried out in August 2021 at the YRSU Dr. Rusdi Health Polytechnic Laboratory in Medan with a sample of 15 avocado juice. The results showed that out of 15 samples, 3 samples were found to contain positive saccharin, namely sample 1 with 162 mg/kg of saccharin, sample 3 with 108 mg/kg of saccharin and sample 4 with 120 mg/kg of saccharin. From the three samples that tasted positive for saccharin, it can be seen that the saccharin in the three samples is still in accordance with regulation of the BPOM RI No.4 of 2014 concerning sweetener food additives because they are still below the permitted threshold of 300 mg/kg body weight
