ABSTRACTSemi-refined carrageenan are a type of carrageeanan product that have a low level of purity because it still contains a small amount of cellulose within the carageenan. The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of the concentration of both NaOH and KOH towards rendemen, and the physical and chemical characteristic of semi refined carrageenan made from Kappaphycus alvarezii seaweed, and also to minimize the use of chemical product on SRC production process. The method used in this study is steaming method. The results are the rendemen from NaOH is 10% and KOH 14%. This proves that the concentration of alkali affects the amount of rendemen. The higher the amount of alkali used, the higher the amount of rendemen obtained. Water content obtained from the NaOH samples are 3,75%; while those from the KOH samples are 5%. The ash content of semi-refined carrageenan obtain from NaOH samples are 55,42% and KOH are 55,27%. For the pH level on semi -refined carrageenan obtain from the NaOH samples are 8,06; and KOH are 8,69. The alkali concentration greatly affects the amount of rendemen that is obtained because a higher concentration of alkali during the alkalization process will result in higher pH level, therefore the extration ability of alkali are increased. Keyword:Seaweed, Kappaphycusalvarezii, Semi-refined carrageenan.Semi refined carrageenan (SRC) merupakan salah satu produk karaginan dengan tingkat kemurnian yang rendah karena masih mengandung sejumlah kecil selulosa yang ikut mengendap bersama karaginan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh konsentrasi NaOH dan konsentrasi KOH terhadap rendemen, sifat fisik, dan sifat kimia pada pembuatan Semi Refined Carageenan dari rumput laut Kappaphycus alvarezii serta meminimalisir penggunaan bahan kimia pada pembuatan Semi Refined Carageenan. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah metode uap. Hasil penelitian yang diperoleh seperti rendemen dengan perendaman NaOH adalah 10%, KOH 14%. Hal ini membuktika n bahwa konsentrasi alkali mempengaruhi jumlah rendemen. Semakin tinggi jumlah alkali, semakin tinggi rendemen yang didapatkan. Kadar air yang diperoleh adalah kadar air pada sampel dengan NaOH yaitu 3,75%; sedangkan untuk kadar air sampel KOH yaitu 5%. Hasil kadar abu Semi Refined Carrageenan (SRC) untuk sampel dengan NaOH yaitu 55,42%; sedangkan untuk sampel KOH yaitu 55,27%.Untuk nilai pH Semi Refined Carrageenan (SRC) pada sampel dengan NaOH 8,06; sampel dengan KOH 8,69. Konsentrasi alkali sangat mempengaruhi rendemen yang dihasilkan karena semakin tinggi konsentrasi alkali selama proses alkalisasi berlangsung, menyebabkan pHnya semakin tinggi sehingga kemampuan alkali dalam mengekstrak semakin besar.
