ABSTRACT
Ash content is an important component in foodstiff because it can determine the process
of food processing. A daily consumed food contains minerals in it. The ash content of a foodstuff
also contains several mineral ingredients. Ashes are the main stage in the analysis of the ash
content of foodstuff. The method used is direct method. The purpose of this practicum is to
calculate the ash content of kelapa batok, jagung ketan/pulut, dan madu. The results showed that
the highest average ash content was found in jagung ketan/pulut 0,965%, followed by kelapa
batok 0,495%, and the lowest was madu 0,115%.
