Abstract

Lettuce is a fresh vegetable that is consumed directly. However, if it is not treated properly, it could have potential health impact on humans. One effort to reduce the content of arsenic with a natural chelating agent is lime juice. The purpose of this study is to analyze the decreasing of arsenic level on curly lettuce before and after immersion using lime juice. This research is a pure experimental. The methods which used are organoleptic test and arsenic level examination which used is Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (SSA). The result of qualified organoleptic test is the concentration of lime juice 25% and 50%, while the unorganized test of organoleptic is 75% concentration. One Way ANOVA test showed p<0,05 so there were significant differences. It was concluded that lime juice can be used to reduce arsenic levels, to reduce arsenic and maintain the quality of curly lettuce can use 25% concentration of lime juice.
