chemical substance which derived from acrylonitrile, is the material used in
polyacrylamide production. Recent research has found acrylamide is contained in
some food, especially food is rich in carbohydrate and treated in high temperature
(more than 120°C). Due to its nature, acrylamide is classified as a hazardous
material to be contained in human’s food. The International Agency for Research
on Cancer (IARC) has classified acrylamide into group 2A (probably carcinogenic
for humans). Many methods that used to analyse the acrylamide in some foods
with sophisticated equipment, and in department of pharmacy FMIPA-UI there were
