Blending of Chorella Patin And Microalga Fish Oil as an Associated Chorella as Potential Health Food

Objective: The use of health food supplements based on functional food components at this time has become a necessity for the community to maintain their health at optimum level. Functional food from fishery products is a food that is considered effective, because in addition to alternative food sources, the nutritional content is very good for health. This study aimed to produce high nutritional health food supplements from raw materials of Chorella enriched with catfish oil. The method used in making high nutritional health food supplements is a microencapsulation experimental method with different formulations.

Methods: The experiment used organoleptic test, chemical component test with amino acids (HPLC) and Fatty acids (GC).

Result: The results showed that the best formulations based on the profiles of amino acids, fatty acids and standard AAE per day, especially oleic and linoleic essential fatty acids were B formulations (2% Chorella, and 1% fish oil.

Conclusion: The formulations B from the sample conducted in this research was the best formulations based on protein content, fat, essential amino acid profiles and essential fatty acids.
