Abstract:
Research on "PERFORMA" or Paper Test Kits Formalin is as an alternative to improve the quality of food selection. It is aiming to get a paper test kit that can detect formaldehyde contented in foodstuffs practically, fast, easy, and inexpensive. The method used in this study is an experimental method which is part of a quantitative method that aims to manipulate and control variables. The data collection is based on the research and the observation of the color change on the paper test kit is generated from Schiff reagent test, in which the paper test kit will give a purple color response when tested on foodstuffs containing formalin. Based on the analysis of variety of data, it is obtained and expressed as mean ± standard deviation with confidence interval in this study are stated at α 5%. Thus, this research paper expects that formalin test kit can be easily applied and used by the community at large.
