• Stunting is a chronic condition of malnutrition in children, indicated by a height-for-age measurement that is more than two standard deviations below the WHO growth standards.

  This study aims to develop a bilih fish oil supplement by analyzing the nutritional components of bilih fish oil supplement, extracting the oil, and evaluating the nutritional content of the resulting supplement.

  Method: The bilih fish oil supplement was extracted using a wet rendering method. The analysis covered proximate components (moisture, ash, protein, fat), amino acids, fatty acids, and minerals such as Ca (Calcium), Se (selenium), Fe (iron), Mg (magnesium), Zn (zinc), along with Vitamin A.

  Result: The findings showed that the bilih fish oil supplement contains moisture (52.43%), ash (0.83%), fat total (2.49%), protein (0.77 %), amino acid such as: L-Lysine (<336.07 mg/kg), L-Proline (463.97 mg/kg), L-Serine (835.35 mg/kg), L-Threonine (448.84 mg/kg), Ca (148.82 mg/100 g), fatty acid: omega-3 (0.2669%), EPA (0.0771%), DHA (0.1036 %), omega-6 (0.2105 %), AA (0.086 %), and omega-9 (0.4346%), minerals: Fe (0.41 mg/100 g), Mg (57.30 mg/100 g), Zn (0.11 mg/100 g), Vitamin A/Retinol (488.18 mcg/100 g).

  Conclusion: The study concludes that a daily intake of 100 ml of the bilih fish oil supplement can provide approximately 14.9% of the daily energy needs. The bilih fish oil supplement offers a promising local dietary option to help reduce the risk of stunting in children.
