ABSTRACT
Calcium is a mineral the body needs to maintain bone density and prevent musculoskeletal diseases. One of the basic ingredients that are easy to find are snapper bones and crab shells. Lutjanus campechanus species will be used for snapper bones and Brachyura species crab shells will be made into a powder extract, then an assessment will be carried out on each sample to measure calcium carbonate levels using EDTA, collagen levels using PicrosiriusRed, and BMP-2 levels. by using MyBioSource. Furthermore, snapper bone and crab shell extracts which have higher levels of calcium carbonate, collagen and BMP-2 can then be used as raw materials which are more economical for the use of the ingredients contained therein. Thus, it is expected that red snapper bones and crab shells can be used as a source of calcium carbonate, collagen, and BMP-2.
Key words: BMP-2, Calcium carbonate, Collagen, Crab Shell, Fish Bone
