Abstract

Salmonella sp. and Escherichia coli are pathogenic bacteria that cause foodborne diseases that often contaminate food and are harmful to human health. Sales of unpackaged (bulk) sausages accompanied by poor hygiene and environmental sanitation conditions have a high potential for Salmonella and Escherichia coli contamination. The purpose of this study was to compare the contamination level of bacterial, Salmonella sp. and Escherichia coli in bulk and packaged chicken sausages as well as to determine the relationship between the hygiene and sanitation of traders and the level of bacterial contamination, Salmonella sp. and Escherichia coli contamination in chicken sausages sold at traditional markets in Surabaya, Indonesia. This research is a cross-sectional study and purposive sampling method. The results showed that the level of bacterial contamination in the bulk chicken sausage was higher (5.98 Log CFU/g) than in packaged chicken sausage (4.83 Log CFU/g). Salmonella sp. contamination in the bulk chicken sausage was higher (44.44%) than in packaged chicken sausage (10.00%) and Escherichia coli contamination in the bulk chicken sausage was higher (22.22%) than in packaged chicken sausage (20.00%). There is a significant relationship between the hygiene and sanitation of traders with the contamination level of bacteria, Salmonella sp., and Escherichia coli in bulk and packaged chicken sausages.

Abstract

This study reviewed the Evaluation of Subsidized Fertilizer Distribution in Corn Farmers in Ogan Komering Ulu Regency, South Sumatra Province. This research aims to analyze the distribution of subsidized fertilizer from producers to farmers of corn crops whether it is following the applicable rules, and to analyze the constraints in the distribution of subsidized fertilizer to corn crop farmers in Ogan Komering Ulu Regency, South Sumatra Province. The research method used is the survey method. The respondents of the study were corn farmers in Ogan Komering Ulu Regency as many as 105 people. Data analysis uses quantitative descriptive analysis techniques with the help of Likers Approximation by using scores on each question item in the questionnaire by making the highest answer to the highest answer "1" precise and lowest score "0", Not Exactly. The data that has been indicated is then determined by the overall questionnaire percentage by grouping the data by the type of statement. Furthermore, the results obtained are interpreted using the percentage category based on the criteria for assessing the accuracy of subsidized fertilizer distribution, and using Quantitative Descriptive Analysis with the help of the Problem List Table is to use an alternative answer on each question item in the questionnaire by making an alternative "Yes" answer and an authentic "No" answer. The data that has been indicated is then determined by the overall questionnaire percentage by grouping the data by the type of statement. Furthermore, the results are interpreted using the percentage category based on the criteria for assessing the constraints of subsidized fertilizer distribution. The results of this study found that the implementation of subsidized fertilizer distribution at the research site, namely Ogan Komering Ulu Regency, especially in Lengkiti District, East Baturaja District, and Sosoh Buay Rayap District has been carried out following the implementation instructions that have been set. But there are still problems that occur such as the Highest Retail Price (HIDR) and the use of Farmer Cards that have not been implemented in the field. Fertilizer subsidy policies are measured in six precise indicators, type, quantity, price, place, time, and quality. Based on the six indicators, 2 indicators of place and quality are categorized very precisely / according to the rule, while for 2 indicators of the type and the quantity can be categorized appropriately / quite according to the rule. Timely indicators can be categorized as inappropriate / not following the rules, while the price indicators for fertilizer subsidy policies can be categorized as inappropriate/very not following the rules due to the problem of price gaps in subsidized fertilizers in farmers, Line III (distributors) sell subsidized fertilizers above the Highest Retail Price (HRP) to Line IV (official kiosks) because there are additional transportation and loading and unloading costs and purchases with a pay system after harvest. Thus causing retailers to also sell subsidized fertilizer to farmers above the Highest Retail Price (HRP).

Abstract

In the traditional “Urutan” chicken production process, the type and quality of raw materials and additional materials vary widely. In addition, other factors such as environmental conditions are difficult to control, and also the uncertain endpoint of the process involved, thus the application of basic feasibility needs to be done to improve the quality of the product. In this study, a model for the application of GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and (Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures) was developed for the production of 'Urutan' chicken. Analysis of the chemical, microbiological and organoleptic components was carried out based on the quality and food safety of meat sausage (SNI 3820-1-2015). According to analysis results, it was revealed that the implementation of GMP and SSOP was poorly implemented. This was proven from the results of the analysis of the product from producers number 6 and 8 that did not meet the requirements of Total Plate Count (TPC) meat sausage (SNI 3820-1-2015) because it exceeded the requirements of 1 x 105 which from the test results obtained 2.5 x 106 colonies/ g and 5.5 x 106 colonies/g. That indicated that sanitation and hygiene were inadequate. Meanwhile, the organoleptic assessment of color resulted (slightly like - very like), texture (rather dislike - extremely like), aroma (rather dislike - like), taste (neutral – extremely like), and overall acceptance (neutral to very like).

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of extraction of chrysanthemum and molasses leaves and their interactions on growth and yield in the cultivation of chrysanthemum cut flowers. The research method uses a randomized block design of factorial patterns with two factors, namely: extract of chrysanthemum leaves consisting of four levels each: 250 g l-1, 500 g l-1, 750 g l-1 and 1000 g l-1, as well as molasses consists of three levels respectively: 5 ml l-1, 10 ml l-1 and 15 ml l-1. The combination treatment of 12 was repeated 3 replications. The results showed that the interaction between the extraction of chrysanthemum leaves and molasses had not significantly affected on all the observed variables. The extraction treatment of chrysanthemum leaves has a significant effect (P˂0.05) to very significant (P ˂ 0.01) on all observed variables except at maximum plant height and stem diameter. The extraction treatment of chrysanthemum leaves 1000 g l-1 resulted in the average fresh weight of flower stalks and the highest economic fresh weight of 133.67 g and 110.27g respectively. There was an increase in yield by 24.99% and 26.71% when it was compared to the lowest treatment. Molasses treatment exerts a significant effect (P ˂ 0.05) to a very significant (P ˂ 0.01) influence on all observed variables, except on the diameter of the rod. Molasses treatment of 15 ml l-1 resulted in an average fresh weight of flower stalks and the highest economic fresh weight of 120.79 g and 94.51 g compared to the lowest treatment, and there was an increase in yield by 11.86% and 25.51% compared to the lowest treatment

Abstract

Collagen-supplemented milk products are susceptible to damage due to high-temperature processing Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) pasteurization is carried out with a pretreatment temperature of <65oC to maintain quality. This study aims to determine the total microbe, the level of microbial decline and the intensity of the sensory profile of milk supplemented with collagen by pretreatment in the PEF pasteurization process. This study used a completely randomized design with a factorial pattern of 2 factors and 3 replications, the first factor was the pretreatment temperature (30, 45 and 60oC), and the second factor was the pretreatment time (10, 20, 30 minutes) which was then pasteurized using the PEF method with a voltage of 15 kv/cm for 120 seconds. Furthermore, these 9 treatments were compared with PEF pasteurized milk without pretreatment and Low Temperature Long Time / LTLT pasteurized milk (pasteurized at 65oC for 30 minutes). The results showed that pretreatment with a temperature of 60oC for 20 and 30 minutes resulted in a total microbial count of 3.406±0.19 CFU/mL and 3.395±0.146 log CFU/mL, respectively. The average total microbe of milk supplemented with collagen in the combination of PEF pasteurization with pretreatment is smaller than the pretreatment process alone with a value below the SNI standard so it is safe for consumption. The average microbial decrease was 2.88 log cycles and was not significantly different (P<0.05) with LTLT thermal pasteurization. The results of the sensory profile intensity test showed that the pretreatment with a temperature of 60oC for 10, 20 and 30 minutes had a sensory profile value that was closest to LTLT pasteurization on the attributes of fishy aroma, milk aroma, and milk taste.

Abstract

Simantri is agricultural integration activity in Bali, Indonesia covering food crops, horticulture businesses, animal husbandry, fisheries, plantations, and forestry crops in one area/activity location. The Simantri Group 733 Manah Cika Guna Bhakti Desa Baru has been formed since 2009, with available feed sources in the form of grasses that grow naturally (nature grass) and some forage plants such as gamal (Gliricidia sepium) and agricultural crop waste. Forage is the main feed for ruminants, which can be in the form of grasses or fodder plants such as legumes. Partners lack knowledge in the field of feed, especially learning about types of forage that are superior in quantity and quality, and are willing to increase the variety of quality forage sources available throughout the season. Partners also want to get special forage seeds and how to cultivate them. It is necessary to conduct action research for Simantri 733 Manah Cika Guna Bhakti Livestock Farmer Group in Banjar Dinas Baru, Baru Village, Marga District, Tabanan Regency, Bali, to help solve problems faced by partners by providing knowledge about superior types of forage, the introduction of technology and skills in cultivation such as land preparation, seed selection, planting, and care. This international collaboration activity was carried out well and smoothly on October 30, 2021, attended by 20 members of the Simantri group. The method used is the method of extension, active participation of farmers, and exploratory. Based on the evaluation results, the Simantri group has recognized several superior forages and has mastered the technology for the cultivation of superior types of forage. Mastery of technology reaches 80%, so it is necessary to provide further assistance to the group during the first and second cutting and preservation techniques so that the rainforest remains of good quality

Ogan Komering Ulu Regency is a district that has great potential for agricultural businesses, especially rice farming. For rice production in South Sumatra Province, Ogan Komering Ulu district in 2020 occupies the 12th position out of 17 districts/cities, with a total production of 16,807.12 tons of dry milled grain (kg). Ogan Komering Ulu Regency has 13 sub-districts which are rice-producing areas. The Ogan Komering Ulu Regency Government continues to strive to increase the production and productivity of rice commodities in its area. The increase in rice production in Ogan Komering Ulu Regency is not only to meet regional needs but is expected to contribute to increasing national rice production. In 2020 the highest total rice harvested area in Ogan Komering Ulu Regency is in Ulu Ogan District, which is 1,690 ha, with dry milled grain production (kg) of 9,464 tons. So that it can be said, Ulu Ogan District is a food barn for Ogan Komering Ulu Regency. Rice production is the amount of rice obtained at the time of post-harvest. Yield will be affected by land area, fertilizer, and labor. This rise and fall in production results can be caused by several factors that are not precise enough so the production of lowland rice is not optimal. Therefore, there is a need for further analysis related to the factors that influence the production of lowland rice farming in Ulu Ogan District, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency. This study aimed to analyze the factors that influence the production of lowland rice in Ulu Ogan District, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency.
