Abstract :
Vegetables are one source of minerals, fiber, and vitamins. Phosphorus is
the second largest mineral after calcium. One of the functions of phosphorus in
the body is the formation of bones and teeth. In phosphorus nature is not present
in a free state, but generally in the form of phosphate compounds. This research
aims to determine the phosphorus content in fresh beans and boiled beans
obtained from the area Gondosuli, Tawangmangu, Karanganyar. Determination of
phosphorus content is done by qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis.
Qualitative analysis using ammonium molybdate solution, AgNO3, and BaCl2.
Quantitative analysis using visible ultraviolet spectrophotometry with ammonium
molybdate vanadate reactants in ? maksimum 370,5 nm. The results of qualitative
analysis indicate that fresh beans and boiled beans positively contain phosphorus.
The result of quantitative analysis obtained the average phosphorus level on fresh
beans that is 74,016 mg / 100 gram with %KV equal to 0,867699% and the
average phosphorus level at boiled beans is 71,026 mg / 100 gram with %KV 0,
694825%. Independent Sample T-Test statistics show that fresh beans have
significantly higher phosphorus content than boiled beans with p = 0.003 (p
<0.05).
