Abstract
This research is conducted to determine the effectiveness of washing and boiling process to reduce the level of lead (Pb) in freshwater mussel (Pilsbryoconcha exilis) in the waters of DAM Raman Metro city of Lampung. The sample in this study was 800 grams of freshwater mussel meat, divided into two treatments with four replications. The analysis was carried out in the Analytical Chemistry Laboratory of the University of Muhammadiyah Malang. The Pb heavy metal testing procedure referred to SNI 7387: 2009 and used an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) examination. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that Pb heavy metal content in freshwater mussel control sampleis 0.080 ppm; after washing and boiling there was a significant decrease of 40%, which is 0.046 ppm. These numbers are still below the threshold value set by the 2009 National Standardization Agency. Nevertheless, they still need to be managed, because Pb can be bioaccumulatived, biomagnificationed, but difficult to be degraded, thus potentially reducing the role of Pilsbryoconcha exilis as a high nutritious healthy food.
