  • Utilization of Garlic and Kaemfiera on the Strength of Fungi Growth in Sardine Fish 'Pedetan' (Sardinella Lemuru)
    Utilization of Garlic and Kaemfiera on the Strength of Fungi Growth in Sardine Fish ‘ Pedetan ’ ( Sardinella lemuru ) Ni Made Ayu Suardi Singapurwa 1, I Putu Candra 2 {[email protected] 1, [email protected] 2} Department of Food Science and Technology, Warmadewa University Denpasar-Bali, Indonesia 12 Abstract. Sardine fish ‘ Pedetan ’ is one of the traditional foods in the area of Jembrana Regency, Bali. During the process of storing ‘ Pedetan ’, they are often damaged by fungi that pollute the Pedetan s. This study aims to determine the use of garlic and kaemfiera on the growth of fungi that can contaminate Pedetan . The results showed that the use of garlic and kaemfiera can inhibit fungal growth. The making of sardine fish sprouts using garlic spices can inhibit the growth of fungi with a inhibition zone of 21.15 mm and kaemfiera can inhibit the inhibition zone by 25.45 mm. Garlic and kaemfiera can inhibit fungal growth because they contain bioactive compounds that can be antimicrobial. Keywords: Garlic, kaemfiera, Sardine fish Pedetan 1 Introduction Pedetan is one of the traditional Balinese spicy dried fish food products processed by the community in the Jembrana Regency area of Bali Province. The community processes and extends the shelf life of the sardine by processing it into food products that can be stored longer, which is commonly referred to as Pedetan . Pedetan made from sardine, salt and spices, is dried in the sun for two to three days, then stored at room temperature [1]. Damage to dry fish can occur during storage and during distribution in marketing.

    PHYTOCHEMICAL CONTENT AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY IN TRADISIONAL BALINESE BABI-GULING SPICES G N Indraguna Pinatih Graduate student, Postgraduate Program, Udayana University NT Suryadhi Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University A Santosa RS Jantung Harapan Kita, Jakarta IKG Muliartha Faculty of Medicine, Brawijaya University e-mail : [email protected]. ABSTRACT The traditional Balinese richly spiced swine-grill (Babi-guling) has been increasingly popular even among both the domestic and foreign tourists. The traditional grill is very unique in taste as it contains two main components, i.e. the pork and the unique Balinese spices, which probably could work antagonistically one against the other in affecting people health. The pork because of its rich content of saturated fatty acid is a risk of atherosclerosis, while the spices appear to be rich in antioxidatns. This is a preliminary atherosclerosis experimental study designed to screen qualitatively the phytochemical contents of the spices and to test their antioxidant activity and strength in different concentrations in vitro. The methods used included Willstater test, NaOH 10% test, Meyer test, Leiberman- Burchard test, test for saponin, and test for phenol. The antioxidant activity was estimated by using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-pricrylhydrazyl) test. The treatment applied to the spice before testing was raw and cooked by heating it inside the pig’s body cavity. The concentrations of spices tested were 100, 1000 and 8000 ppm. The results of our study revealed that the phytochemical content of the spices were flavonoids, terpenoids and phenolic compounds, but saponin and alkaloids were not detected. The antioxidant activity was ineffective in concentration of 100 ppm (percentage of reduction < 50%), effective in concentration of 1000 ppm (percentage of reduction 50-60%), and too thick in concentration of 8000 ppm (percentage of reduction >100%.
