Abstract: A preliminary study has been conducted to detect the presence of borax in meat using a optical fiber sensor. The study was conducted in 2 stages, the first stage was a test using a UV-Vis spectrometer which was used as reference data to test the presence of borax in meat with variations in the borax mass of 0.1 gr, 0.2 gr and 0.3 gr mixed with each 40 gr of beef, while the next stage is to use an optical fiber sensor that has been made where the results of testing are compared with the results of the first stage. The results obtained in the initial stage are more and more borax content in the meat showing the absorbance value increases at a wavelength of 419 nm with an R2 value of 0.93. In the second stage using an optical fiber sensor, the results of transmittance values obtained at 419 nm wavelength decreased linearly with R2 values of 0.99, the transmittance value is inversely proportional to the absorbance value. This shows that a fiber optic sensor made has the potential to be used as detection for borax content in meat.
