- Abstract
Gracilaria sp as a seaweed that abundant in Indonesia is increasingly being used as a food product because it contains carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, amino acids, and minerals. However, Gracilaria sp that is cultivated in Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia is known to contain some dangerous heavy metals. The primary aim of food traceability is to increase food safety. Traceability minimizes disruption to trade and potential public health risks. The purpose of this study was to find out the source of heavy metal contamination on Gracilaria sp that cultivated in Sidoarjo. This research uses a descriptive and quantitative method. Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) method also used to determine the level of heavy metals. These results indicate generally that the source of heavy metal content in seaweed comes from the waste that is around and taken to the cultivation location. In all the samples, the farther the distance from the waste location, the less content-heavy metals were observed. The heavy metal content has been identified the majority of the area has exceeded the seaweed and water quality standard.
