Consuming too much durian fruit can cause side effects such as high blood pressure, increased cholesterol levels, obesity and digestive system problems. This research aims to determine the fat and protein content in local durian flesh and seeds and compare the fat and protein levels. This research uses the soxhletation method and the biuret method with the help of UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Sample analysis was carried out qualitatively and quantitatively. The resulting fat content in the flesh of the fruit was 13.58% while in the seeds it was 0.39%, meanwhile the protein content produced in the flesh of the fruit was 24.19% and the seeds were 16.5%. It can be concluded that in durian fruit, the protein content in the flesh and fruit is higher than the fat content.
