Molasses are manufactured by grinding 200 grams of tomatoes and 100 grams of brown sugar. The manufacture of organic fertilizer on pellets consists of 100 grams of offal and gill waste mashed/blended with molasses and then put into the Jergen. A mixture of offal, gills and molasses waste is fermented for 14 days, and then scales, fins, tail powders, and 150 mL of concentrated HNO3 are added to the fermentation Data analysis The data from the measurement of the standard solution of phosphorus and potassium was graphed, and the data obtained was analyzed to obtain concentration in the sample using the linear regression equation as follows: Y = a bX Where: Y = Absorbance (A) a = Intersect with the y-axis b = Line slope tg X = Concentration of sample solution The levels of Nitrogen.

Preliminary test Nitrogen test Pellet fertilizer weighing 3000 grams is crushed and then put into the Kjeldahl H2SO4 pumpkin at a concentration of 0. 1 L, and 1 / 2 tablet of Kjeldahl is added to the 50 mL measuring flask. The sample is decomposed until it boils and the solution turns green. The destruction results were filtered, and then the nitrogen content was measured using a colorimeter until it reached 100 Results and Discussion Nitrogen test The process in fish waste is a fermentation in this case, it is carried out like the fermentation process of making "baking" soil with a process for 14 days, and there was a disconnection (Sovacool et al. , 2. The nitrogen content of skipjack fish waste pellets was determined using the Kjeldahl method. The method's principle is to empirically determine the number of proteins based on the number of N in the material. After the material is oxidized, ammonia . he result of the conversion of N compound. reacts with the acid into ammonium Colorimeter measurement method First, the solution is made, then put into the cuvette, directly put into the colorimeter, and then Phosphorus test Weighed a total of 5000 grams of pellet fertilizer samples and ground them into a beaker. Iin Safitri & Paulus H. Abram The Kjeldahl method consists of three stages: destruction . , distillation, and titration (Legowo et al. , 2. The nitrogen analysis in this study used destructive resistance, where a sample of 3000 grams was put into the Kjeldahl flask. Then, one tablet of Kjeldhal was added in 0. 1 L of concentrated sulfuric acid. The function of Kjeldahl tablets as a catalyst is to accelerate the increase in the boiling point of sulfuric acid, where sulfuric acid can accelerate oxidation because it is a potent oxidizing agent. The destruction process removes the content of other ions so that errors in readings during analysis can be minimized because, in the destruction process, organometals are reshuffled into inorganic forms that are ready to be analyzed (Deringer et al. , 2. Destruction is successful if a clear solution is obtained (Mazaya et al. , 2. Adding HNO3 after the process and adding chicken manure adhesives and decomposing compounds in simpler chicken manure can also decompose the protein from the rest of the fish waste (Lubis et al. , 2. The measurement of nitrogen content using a colorimeter is 4. 2 %. Previous research also showed that the nitrogen content obtained was less than 5% (Rezende-deSouza et al. , 2. The tool used, namely the colorimeter test device, is a tool to analyze the concentration of certain substances in the medium. Only after being calibrated can the device be used to determine the density and concentration of other solutions (Setiayawan, 2. Nitrogen is one of the most important elements in plants' early growth. Plants need enough nutrients to perform their physiological processes (Gigir et al. , 2. decomposers such as prisms, grants or optical gaps (Khopkar, 2. Phosphorus is the most important element for plants after nitrogen. This element is absorbed as H2PO2 -. a small part can be absorbed in HPO4 2. Phosphorus is an energy source for photosynthesis, respiration, energy transfer and storage, cell division and enlargement, and plant growth and development. If the plant lacks phosphorus, crop growth can be inhibited. Potassium Test The process of potassium levels in the pellet sample of skipjack fish waste. HNO3 concentrate is added to a chemical glass until dissolved. function of adding HNO3 concentrate is to dissolve the pellet fertilizer sample so the sample dissolves (Prabawa & Nurmilatina, 2. Then the filtered solution was filtered and then pipetted and diluted using aquades until the limit mark was then analyzed using a flame photometer and obtained, the potassium level was 85 % of the sample. A flame photometer is an analysis method based on measuring the amount of specific monochromatic light emission in a particular wave emitted by an alkaline metal or alkaline earth when incandescent in a lit state. This magnitude is a function of concentration. From the metal components, the amount of the intersection of this beam is proportional to the level of elemental content in the solution, so the flame photometer method is used for quantitative purposes by measuring its intensity relatively. Table 4. Results Total levels of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) in skipjack fish waste pellets Phosphorus test Paramate The process to determine the phosphorus level in the pellet sample of skipjack fish waste. Namely, it can be done by adding concentrated HNO3 to convert all metaphosphate and pyrophosphate present in the sample into Then, a molybdate-vanadate adhesive is added so that the orthophosphate in the sample will react with the adhesive and form a yellow vanadimolybdiphosphate acid complex (Thi Kim Vo et al. , 2. Moreover, diluted using aquades to the limit mark and absorbed by the solution in the cuvette. Based on the results of the calculation of phosphorus content in pellets analyzed using a UVVis spectrophotometer, the phosphorus content in the sample was 2. 21 % of the sample. UV-Vis spectrophotometers can produce light from a spectrum of a specific wavelength, and a photometer measures the intensity of transmitted or absorbed light. Thus, spectrophotometers measure energy relative to whether that energy is transmitted, reflected or emitted as a function of wavelength. The advantage of spectrophotometers over photometers is that the wavelengths of white light can be more selective and obtained with Nitrogen (N) Phosphorus (P) Potassium (K) (N P K) Skipjack Fish Pellets Sample (%) The results obtained from the study on the levels of Nitrogen (N). Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) from skipjack fish waste pellets used a calorimeter to measure nitrogen levels, phosphorus using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer to measure phosphorus levels. In contrast, potassium used a photometer to measure calcium levels in skipjack fish. Conclusions Based on the calculation of the determination of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) levels in pellets from the fermentation of skipjack fish waste using purebred chicken manure adhesive. Therefore, it can be concluded that the nitrogen content is 4. 2 %, the phosphorus content is 2. 21 %, Volume, 12. No. 3, 2023, 166-169 Jurnal Akademika Kimia Pariama. , & Abram P.
