Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE
The bacteriocin isolated from fermented buffalo milk from West Sumatra-Indonesia, called Dadih, can be considered as a natural and safe antimicrobial compound for food products. The objective of this research was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of bacteriocin from Dadih and its effectiveness as a preservative in chicken meat.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This study used experimental method followed by statistical analysis using 3 experiments with duplication including experiment of meat samples (0 and 10% bacteriocin), storage temperatures (7 and 26°C) and storage duration (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 days and 0, 6, 12 hrs). Each experiment consists of a bacteriocin test, antimicrobial activity assay, physicochemical measurement and storability.
RESULTS
From 10 LAB isolates successfully obtained from Dadih, two isolates with D7 code and D10 code had the highest antimicrobial activity, reaching 11.75 mm and 12 mm, respectively. The meat treated by 10% of bacteriocin gave the lower total microbial (3rd and 5th day) and total E. coli (5th day) at 7 and 26°C. The pH and water activity (aw) values of chicken meat with 10% of bacteriocin showed lower values at 7 and 26°C. The application of bacteriocin to chicken meat was able to inhibit the microbial growth that was still below standard for 3 days at 7°C and 6 hrs at 26°C.
CONCLUSION
Based on research, lactic acid bacteria isolated from buffalo milk curd produced bacteriocin compound which has antimicrobial properties. This bacteriocin showed potential as a natural preservative for chicken meat by inhibiting the growth of pathogen microorganisms.
