The method used in this research is to use a simple complete random design with 5 level treatment of different ratio of carrageenan to chitosan, that; A (100%:0%), B (75%:25), C (50%:50%), D (25%:75%) dan E (0%:100%). The proximate analysis showed that no significant difference for moisture content. The moisture content ranges 17.62 - 18.67%, protein content 4.68 - 12.35%, fat content 0.41 - 0.53%, ash content 1.13 - 1.41% and carbohydrate composition ranges 68.41-74.94%.
