Abstract:

Snakeheads are one of animal protein sources having high protein content and complete amino acid quality. Central Kalimantan possesses several species of dominant snakeheads that so far have not been extensively known yet, Channa striata, C. micropelthes, C. Pleuropthalmus. These three species are potential in wound healing process due to low cost and easy utilization.  Results showed that the vacuum drying and freeze-drying powder products possessed 14 complete and important amino acids.  Dominant amino acids are leucine, alanine, aspartic acid and glutamic acid known highly beneficial in wound healing process. Based upon SDS Page analysis, each sample has similar protein molecular weight range.
