Validasi Metode Analisis Kadar Air Pada Garam Halus dengan Metode Gravimetri

Abstract

beryodium salt is a type of salt that is included in the type of table salt. In Indonesia, the need for salt is met by various private companies and state-owned companies. PT. Garam is one of the state-owned companies engaged in the salt manufacturing industry. . This table salt before being distributed must be tested first according to the quality standards for table salt. The results of the water content analysis function to indicate the length of storage time and quality of the salt. If there is improper handling in processing and incorrect determination of water content, there will be damage to the food which can be harmful to health. The research conducted this time is the analysis of water content tests on table salt Salt using the gravimetric method and using a comparison of procedures from SNI 3556: 2016 and the procedures used at PT. Garam Kalianget Sumenep. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the water content of table has met the Indonesian national standard (SNI) 3556: 2016 or not. The results of the water content of consumption salt using the procedure of SNI 3556:2016 averaged 0.398% while with the procedure used at PT. Garam Kalianget Sumenep the average was 0.171%. From the results of the water content analysis that has been carried out, consumption salt has met the standard quality requirements for consumption salt based on Indonesian national standards.
