This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional and mineral composition of the green seaweeds Caulerpa lentilifera and Caulerpa racemosa collecting from Takalar Water, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Test of proximate analysis of seaweeds observed was ash, protein, lipid, fiber, and carbohydrate. While the test mineral compositions were phosphorus, calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, cuprum, manganese, zinc, ferrum, iodine. The results of the analysis showed that the proximate composition, C. lentilifera had the highest ash content (63.83%) while C. racemosa had the highest carbohydrate content of 38.18%. The results of the mineral analysis showed that C. lentillifera and C. racemosa contained macro and microminerals. The highest macromineral content is Na (10.040% and 16.280%) and followed by K (3.958% and 2.195%), Mg (59.201 ppm and 519.201 ppm), Ca (0.521% and 0.466%) and P (0.270% and 0.335%). The highest microminerals in the two types of seaweed from the largest are Fe (756.1805 and 386.1202 ppm), Mn (59.201 ppm and 519.062 ppm), Zn (10.079 ppm and 3.366 ppm), and Cu (5.496 ppm only in C. racemosa). This study revealed that C. lentilifera and C. racemosa contain constituents with proximate and mineral composition as potential sources of plant foods and good sources of mineral supplements.

This study aimed to determine the quality and food safety of squid (Loligo forbesii) sold at Daya Traditional Market, Makassar, Indonesia. The research was conducted from January to March 2021 by collecting the sample in the morning around 09.00 - 10.00 AM with a frequency of three times a week for three weeks at different squid sellers. Organoleptic testing, TVB, and formalin were observed at a laboratory in the center for application and testing of fishery product quality, South Sulawesi, while the determination of pH and temperature of the squids was done on-site just after sampling. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively and presented in the form of tables. The results showed that the squids sold at the traditional market were still in fresh condition and of good quality with an average value of organoleptic 7.2; pH 6.77; and temperature of 20.32°C. The Indonesian National Standard/SNI (01-2729.1-2013) regarding the safety of fresh fishery products sold at the Traditional Market in Makassar was categorized as fresh with a TVB value of 16.30 mg-N/100g. However, 33.3% of the samples contained formalin which indicated that the squids were in fresh condition but did not meet the safety standards of fishery products.
