| Summary: | Borax is one of the chemicals that are often abused and added in foods, such as meatballs,
noodles, lontong and others. This study aim to develope a method of borax detection with a
reagent kit. Kit worked based on reaction between alizarin red S (ARS) and borate ion in base
condition, so that the colored complexes can be obse rved by visual detection. Research was
conducted in several stages, i.e preliminary test, reagent optimization (concentration of reagent,
pH and buffer concentration), application procedure optimization (reagent droplet number, water
immersion volume and immersion time), stability test, method validation and application. From
the results of study was obtained, 0,07 mg/mL ARS-based reagent kit in phosphate buffer pH 8.
Results of validation method indicated, the kit had sensitivity and specificity of 100%; False
positive and false negative rate of 0%; Intra-day and inter-day precision of 100%; Detection limit
of 0,08 mg/mL; and robustness of eligible methods. The detection kit was still stable until the 28
th
day when stored at cold temperature. Of the 60 samples tested, 9 (15%) samples tested positive
for borax and 51 (85%) samples tested negative for borax. Based on the results of study indicated
that the developed reagent kit can be used as a method of borax detection in foods.
