Abstract


Abstract: Formalin is still found in foodstuffs, although this chemical was prohibited to be used as food additive material. The objectives of this research were to observe the physiopathologic effects of formalin-contaminated fish which were induced repeatedly to mice (Mus musculus) and its preventions using chlorophyllin. The effects of physiopathologic that were observed involve liver weight, digestive system organs (colon and stomach), blood volume, tumor burden, and amount of mice death. The results showed that the use of chlorophyllin is normalize the digestive system organs physiology significantly, while there are no significance on other physiopathologic effects.
