| dc.description.abstract | The Chinese Pond Mussel (Anodonta woodiana) is a type of freshwater clam that
is found in the waters of the Barumun River and this animal's aquatic habitat
belongs to the Pelecypoda class, family Unionidae. The people of Asam Jawa
Village use the Chinese Pond Mussel (Anodonta woodiana) as one of the
freshwater mussels which is used for meat consumption, while the shells are
simply thrown away resulting in accumulation of mussel shell waste because it
has not been utilized optimally. Sampling was carried out in the Barumun River
and Samak Reservoir habitats by repeating 3 times at different points in each
habitat. Samples were collected as many as 97 individuals at each point.
Furthermore, the process of cleaning and data collection of physical parameters
through morphometrics of mussels including measurements of length, width,
thickness, total weight, and shell weight. The highest morphometric calculations
were obtained in river habitats. Then proceed with the separation between the
meat and the shells to measure the yield of the shells, then the process of drying
the shells and boiling the shells is then continued with the milling process using a
bale mill. From the results of the yield calculation, it is in the range of 0.32%-
0.49%. Furthermore, chemical analysis was carried out by testing the water
content, ash content, chitin, protein, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, fat and
degree of acidity. The results of testing the ash content in river and lake habitats
ranged from 93.20%-95.30%. The water content is in the range of 0.05%-0.75%.
Protein levels ranged from 1.04%(w/w)-1.69%(w/w). Chitin levels ranged from
0.926%-0.936%. Phosphorus levels range from 17.1 mg/kg-81.03 mg/kg. Calcium
levels ranged from 0.06%(w/w)- 0.08%(w/w). Magnesium levels ranged from
41.40 mg/kg-65.40 mg/kg. The fat content ranges from 0.29 mg/kg-3.67 mg/kg
and the degree of acidity ranges from 8.2%-8.9%. | en_US |
