Investigasi Senyawa Karsinogen Benzopyrene Dalam Sate

Benzopyrene, a carcinogenic compound in "Sate" an Indonesian traditional barbecued meat product was investigated spectrometrically using Spectrofluorometer. The sample used in this research were sate from beef meat, beef lever and beef fat also meat from beef, goat and chicken which burnt with charcoal and gas stove.
The results indicated that benzopyrene content in meat, lever and fat of beef which roasted with charcoal was 1.68, 3.71 and 2.34 ppb, and the sample which prepared with gas stove was 0.53, 0.89 and 0.44 ppb. The burnt meat had a higher benzopyrene than normal roasted meat. The benzopyrene of beef sate, goat sate and chicken sate which prepared with charcoal were 1.68, 1.71 and 1.14 ppb and which burnt with gas stove were 0.53, 0.78 and 0.47 ppb.
This research indicated that sate which burnt with gas stove was more safer than sate which burnt with charcoal.
