Abstract

Rice washing water contains carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals that serve as potential substrates for the growth of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB). This study aims to isolate and characterize LAB from the traditional East Kalimantan rice variety Beras Mayas. LAB isolation was performed using De Man Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) Agar, followed by successive purification to obtain pure cultures. Identification of the isolates involved macroscopic and microscopic observations, Gram staining, and a series of biochemical assays. Three distinct LAB isolates, designated A, B, and C, were obtained. Isolates A and B exhibited circular colonies with yellowish-white pigmentation and undulate margins, suggesting affiliation with the genus Lactobacillus. Isolate C formed circular white colonies with entire margins, indicating a possible relationship with the genus Streptococcus. Biochemical testing revealed that all three isolates were negative for catalase, gelatin hydrolysis, motility, and indole production. In the Triple Sugar Iron Agar (TSIA) test, all isolates fermented glucose, lactose, and sucrose, producing yellow coloration in both the slant and butt portions of the medium. These results suggest that the isolates are homofermentative LAB.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the antibacterial activity potential of fermented dragon fruit peel juice (Hylocereus polyrhizus) fermented using Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) isolated from rice washing water (Beras Mayas). The process begins with the preparation of dragon fruit peel samples, which are washed, peeled, and mashed to obtain the juice. The juice is pasteurized and inoculated with a 5% LAB starter, with the addition of a 10% sugar solution before being incubated for 3, 7, 12, and 17 days at 37ÂșC. pH measurements were taken during fermentation, showing a significant decrease in pH, reaching the lowest value of 3.76 on day 17. The antibacterial activity was measured using the well-diffusion method with the fermented juice at a concentration of 100%, showing a very strong inhibition zone (>20 mm) against Propionibacterium acnes on day 7. The results indicate that the pH changes during fermentation are closely related to the antibacterial activity
