Abstract

Whitening cream is a preparation or mixture of ingredients used on the outside of the body to brighten or change the color of the skin, resulting in clean and white skin. Many people, particularly women, use cosmetics to improve the appearance of their skin, one of which is whitening cream. Many producers saw this opportunity and added mercury and hydroquinone to increase the number of consumers because the product will be cheaper and provide faster results to their skin with these ingredients. This study aims to conduct a qualitative analysis of whitening creams circulating in Balikpapan. To achieve this goal, four samples A, B, C, and D were analyzed using the KI color test method, the flame test, and the color reagent method to determine the presence of mercury and hydroquinone.The findings of the qualitative test of the mercury and hydroquinone content in the whitening cream circulating in the city of Balikpapan revealed that three samples, namely samples B, C, and D, were known to contain mercury and two samples (samples A and D) were known to contain hydroquinone.

Abstract

Mie basah merupakan bahan pangan yang banyak diminati oleh masyarakat Indonesia. Mie basah banyak diproduksi oleh industri rumah tangga dengan skala kecil. Mie basah dijual bebas di pasar tradisional dalam bentuk kemasan sederhana, basah dan dijual terbuka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi adanya kandungan formalin, boraks dan cemaran mikroba pada mie basah yang beredar di pasar tradisional di Kota Balikpapan. Metode pengujian formalin menggunakan pereaksi KMnO4 dan spektrofotometer UV-VIS, pengujian boraks menggunakan kertas turmeric dan uji cemaran mikroba menggunakan metode Total Plate Count (TPC). Total sampel mie basah yang didapatkan adalah 6 sampel dari 7 pasar tradisional di Kota Balikpapan. Hasil uji formalin dan boraks dianalisis secara kualitatif sedangkan data cemaran mikroba dianalisis secara kuantitatif dan membandingkan hasilnya dengan SNI. Hasil identifikasi menunjukkan bahwa seluruh sampel mie basah tidak terdapat campuran boraks namun terdapat satu yang terindikasi mengandung formalin. Hasil identifikasi cemaran mikroba menunjukkan mie basah mengandung mikroba dibawah ambang batas maksimal 1 x 106 koloni/gram dan dinyatakan memenuhi syarat mutu mie basah SNI 2987:2015.
