Telah dilakukan penelitian terhadap pemeriksaan sifatsifatfisika, kimia dan kandungan. kimia dari lemak ayam potong ( Hubbard broiler ).Pemeriksaan sifat-sifat fisika meliputi: indeks bias, beratjenis, suhu beku dan suhu lebur dengan menggunakan metodaFarmakope Indonesia edisi III. Pemeriksaan sifat-sil'at kimiameliputi : bilangan asam, bilangan penyabunan dan bilanganiodium menggunakan metoda Farnkope Indonesia edisi III, untuk.uji stabilitas menggunakan metoda Kreist test.Pemeniksaan kandungan kimia meliputi : pemeriksaan minyak mineral dan minyak harsa mengunakan metoda Ekstra Farmakope Indonesia1974, pemeriksaan kolesterol baik secara kualitatif rraupunkuantitatif menggunakan. pereaksi Libermann-Burchard,sedangkan metoda kolorimetri digunakan hanya untuk pemeriksaankuantitatif.Pemeriksaan vitamin A dan D secara kualitatif menggunakanpereaksi Carr-Price, dan cara.kuantitatif menggunalcan metodaspektrofotometri.Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa lenk ayam potong mengandungkolesterol. Dengan metod.a yang digunakan adanya vitamin A danD belum dapat dipastikan.

An investigation has been carried out on physics and

chemical properties and chemical content of poultry fat

(Hubbard broiler).

The examination on physical properties includes refraction

index, density, freezing poit and melting point.

The examination on chemical properties includes acid value,

saponification value and iodine value using Farmakope Indonesia

third edition method. The stability assay was done by using

Kreist test method.

The chemical content examination includes the examination on

mineral oil and resin oil by applying the Extra Farnkope

Indonesia (1974) method. For both qualitative and quantitative

examination on cholesterol a Liebernnn-Burchard reaction was

used, while a colorimetric method was use to observe the

quantity only. A Carr-Price reaction. was used for the qualitative

examination on vitamin. A and D, and spectrophotometric

method was used to examine quantitatively.

From the above observation it was indicated that the poultry

fat is containing cholesterol. However the method used so far

could not ensure the existence of vitamin A and D.
