Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is known as a material for biological application due to its<br />

similarity physical-chemical characteristic with human bone and tissue. Advancement<br />

in the fish food processing has resulted to a large amount of waste. Fish bone, enlarge<br />

part of the waste, contains Hydroxyapatite (HAp) that can be used as bone<br />

repairement. In this study the Hydroxyapatite powder extracted from fringescale<br />

sardinella (Sardinella fimbriata) bones. The raw bone will undergo to calcination and<br />

crushing process to form in powder size. Calcination process temperature are between<br />

600⁰C to 1000⁰C. The sample powder then will be analyzed by using X-Ray Diffraction<br />

(XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR)<br />

to determine the mineralogy, structures of the molecules and microstructure of the<br />

powder. The crystalline HAp composition, microstructure and chemical reaction at<br />

900⁰C are similar with commercial HAp compare to other temperature.<br />
