Abstract

Chicken meat, beef, and offal are important animal products. They easily spoiled due to bacterial contamination and might contain antibacterial residues derived from treatments during rearing and processing. This present work aimed to investigate location- and time-dependent value of TPC (Total Plate Count), and analyze antibiotic residue present in chicken meat, beef, and offal sampled in the Province of South Sulawesi. This current study was conducted by analyzing data released from UPT. Animal Product Quality Analysis in Department of Animal Husbandry and Animal Health, Province of South Sulawesi. Our experimental design was arranged according to completely randomized design with factorial (4×3), and carried out 5 replications. The results showed that two locations (Takalar District and Palopo District) had the lowest TPC value, while Palopo City possessed the highest TPC value. Regarding to antibiotic residue, the positive sample was only found in 2015, a chicken meat sample collected in Luwu Utara District.Keywords : Total Plate Count (TPC), Antibiotic Residues.

Highlights

Food safety undeniably needs to attempt, ensuring that foods are free from possible physical and biological contaminants as well as unwanted materials causing disadvantages on human health, while considering compliance of religious requirements, belief, and culture, which make the food safe to consume as guaranteed by Indonesian governmental regulation about food, i.e. UU No 18/2012
Total Plate Count (TPC) TPC was used as a procedure for the enumeration of microorganisms that grow in an agar medium under particular conditions by using fresh samples (Gobel et al, 2008). b
TPC value seemed to attenuate, occurring in each sample and location between 2013 – 2015, while TPC for chicken meat was found to show the lowest value in comparison with beef and offal

Summary

Introduction

Food safety undeniably needs to attempt, ensuring that foods are free from possible physical and biological contaminants as well as unwanted materials causing disadvantages on human health, while considering compliance of religious requirements, belief, and culture, which make the food safe to consume as guaranteed by Indonesian governmental regulation about food, i.e. UU No 18/2012. Food constitutes one of the key human need; besides nutritional composition, food safety and quality become one of foremost concerns. Unsafety on food and product quality noticeably brings deleterious impacts to human health (even causing death) and may cause economic loss. Some of animal slaughterhouses, poultry slaughterhouses, markets in South Sulawesi did not meet all requirements; food safety aspects of these animal products should be considered (Lonergan et al, 2005)
