- Abstract
The gabus (Channa striatus) is an Indonesian indigenous predatory freshwater fish that traditionally known to have medicinal benefits in wound healing and energy boosting for sick people. The aim of this study was to investigate the nutritional content of two processed products made from the gabus fish: (1) whole fish powder (WFP) and (2) fish protein concentrate (FPC). Proximate analysis revealed that protein content was higher in FPC (85.85%) than in WFP (67.93%). Lipid, crude ash, and water contents of WFP were 5.74%, 10.76%, and 3.60% respectively, while those of FPC were 4.48%, 4.74%, and 4.61% respectively. Both products contained all essential amino acids ranging from 8.14 g (histidine) to 2.19 g (methionine) per 100 g of WFP protein and from 7.08 g (leucine) to 2.81 g (methionine) per 100 g of FPC protein. Non-essential amino acids contents was from 7.20 g (arginine) to 0.23 g (aspartic acid) in WFP protein and from 10.45 g (glutamic acid) to 2.7 g (serine) in FPC protein. Both products contained vitamin A, B2, E, D3, and B12. Calcium and phosphor were higher in WFP (2401 and 18.51 mg per 100 g respectively) than in FPC (178 mg and 7.1 g per 100 g respectively). FPC and WFP of Channa striatus have relatively high protein contents and complete amino acids composition and they can be considered as food supplement, especially as protein and amino acids sources.
