Abstract:
Abstrak : This research aims to determine microbiological contamination on both fresh and frozen carcasses of broilers sold in both traditional markets and supermarkets in Manokwari Regency. The result of this study showed that microbial contaminated of broiler carcasses circulating in both traditional markets and supermarkets in Manokwari are proven by positive test results for TPC, E. coli, Coliform, Streptococcus aureus, Salmonella sp., and Campylobacter sp. E coli contamination was found at the lowest value of 3.0 x 101 cfu/g and the highest contamination of 1.5 x104 cfu/g. Coliform contamination was found at the lowest value of 1.9 x 102 cfu/g and the highest value of 5.4 x 104 cfu/g. Staphylococcus aureus 22 contamination was at the lowest value of 2.1 x 10 cfu/g and the highest value of 7.5 x 10 . Salmonella and Campylobacter contamination were positive on two samples, from frozen and fresh carcasses respectively. Fresh carcasses were subjected to highly contaminated compared to frozen carcasses. According SNI 01-7388-2009 that the maximum limit of microbial contamination (BMCM) allowed on fresh chicken meat is less than 1 x 101cfu/ g. Traditional markets are found for the most contaminated chicken meat compared to supermarkets. Microbial contamination was found more on fresh carcasses sold in traditional markets than frozen carcasses. This study concluded that microbial contamination is found more on fresh carcasses sold in traditional markets than frozen carcass
