Analysis Of Glicogen Content On Heart, Muscle, And Animal Brain

Abstract

Glycogen is the main type of stored carbohydrate found in animals. Glycogen is formed as excess glucose deposits in the body which are used as energy reserves. The purpose of this analysis is to find out the procedure for glycogen extraction and to determine the glycogen content in some food ingredients. The method used is iodine extraction and testing. The materials used are TCA, ethanol, NaCl, iodine, chicken liver, beef liver, beef brain, beef, and chicken meat. The results obtained are a change in color and revision of the sample after testing, namely brownish-brown chicken liver, brown liver and beef, while the cow's brain is clear brown and the highest yield, namely in beef liver by 55%, chicken liver by 32, 64%, chicken meat at 9.5%, beef at 9.5% and the lowest is found in cow brains at 0%.
