Abstract

Jackfruit seeds are one of the organic wastes that have not been optimally utilized, even though they have high nutritional content, especially carbohydrates. This composition makes jackfruit seeds a potential alternative medium for supporting fungal growth. The alternative medium made from jackfruit seeds is produced by processing the seed extract into a natural growing medium. The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth of Aspergillus sp fungi on an alternative medium made from jackfruit seed extract. The study was conducted using observational and experimental methods in a laboratory, comparing the growth of Aspergillus sp colonies at three media concentrations: 20%, 40%, and 60%. The research was carried out at the Microbiology Laboratory, Department of Medical Laboratory Technology, Poltekkes Kemenkes Makassar in April 2024. Jackfruit seed extract was used as the main medium for fungal growth. The results showed that the average colony diameter of Aspergillus flavus over five consecutive days on jackfruit seed extract medium at a concentration of 20% was 33.7 mm, 40% was 33.9 mm, and 60% was 41.7 mm. A concentration of 60% was found to be the most effective medium for fungal growth. Further research is recommended to explore other concentrations, use jackfruit seed decoction, and eliminate the addition of dextrose in the medium composition.

Abstract

Typical Sinjai Drink (MINAS) is made from fermented cassava, which contains alcohol of the ethanol type. Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to health problems, even death. Milk has protein and fat content that can reduce alcohol levels. This study aims to see the results of the examination of alcohol levels in MINAS based on the addition of milk and without milk. This type of research is an analytical observational with a cross section approach, the number of samples obtained in this study were 16 samples, namely 8 samples from seller A and 8 samples from seller B, each of the 8 seller samples included 4 samples with added milk and 4 samples without added milk that met the inclusion criteria in this study. The place of sample collection was carried out in Lappa Village, Sinjai Regency and sample examination was carried out at the Makassar Health Laboratory Center, South Sulawesi on 04-09 May 2023. The results showed that the average alcohol content of MINAS seller A without milk (1.6%) and milk addition (1.5%). The average alcohol content of MINAS seller B without milk (1.9%) and milk addition (1.7%). So it can be concluded that the alcohol content of MINAS with added milk is lower than MINAS without added milk, and it can be suggested for further researchers to pay attention to other factors that can affect the results of alcohol content examination.
