Abstract

The quality of nutmeg seeds is determined, among others, by their moisture content and the presence of aflatoxin contamination. To maintain quality, the moisture content of nutmeg seeds must be reduced to meet export standards. This can be achieved through sun drying or smoking. Aflatoxin is a mycotoxin produced by the Aspergillus fungi. The study aims to obtain nutmeg seeds with the appropriate moisture content according to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) through sun drying and smoking methods. Also, it is to qualitatively identify the presence of aflatoxin in the nutmeg seeds. A total of 27 kg of nutmeg was divided into three treatment groups for drying and smoking. The drying and smoking treatments were arranged following a Randomized Block Design with three replications. Nutmeg essential oil was extracted using steam distillation. Subsequently, a qualitative identification of aflatoxin contamination was carried out using PDA media. The results showed that sun drying the nutmeg seeds for 72 hours resulted a moisture content of 7 - 8%. Meanwhile, the qualitative identification revealed the presence of Aspergillus niger, Penicillium sp, and Rhizopus stolonifer in the tested samples. No A. flavus, however, which is the main fungus responsible for aflatoxin production, was found in the results. Therefore, by drying the nutmeg seeds to a moisture content below 10%, the emergence of aflatoxin-causing fungi can be prevented.

Abstract

Nutmeg is an important plantation product in Indonesia which is an important commodity and is stored at the international level (export commodity). This research aims to analyze the morphological and main characteristics of Banda nutmeg plants. Surveys and observations were carried out in Negeri Lima, Seith, Hila, Mamala and Morella, Central Maluku Regency. Based on the HCA cluster analysis, it is known that the 43 plant samples are known to be grouped into two large groups (Group I and II), where Group I consists of two subgroups, namely Ia and Ib. In Subgroup Ia, which consists of 28 plants, the dissimilarity level is 26% (or 74% similarity). Meanwhile, in Subgroup Ib, which only consists of 2 plants, the dissimilarity level is 18.8% (or 81.2% similarity). The second group, which also only consists of 2 plants, has a dissimilarity level of 23% (or 77% similarity). Furthermore, from the analysis of the PCA results, it is known that the morphological diversity of nutmeg is 26.3%, which is reflected in the main morphological characters, namely circumference, stem diameter, fruit stem weight, fruit flesh weight, and fruit diameter.
