Analisis Cemaran Mikroba Pada Minuman Jajanan Yang Dijual Pedagang Kaki Lima Di Kota Pekanbaru
Street-vended beverages are drinks prepared and sold by street vendors in crowded public areas, such as markets and streets, intended for immediate consumption without further processing. This study aimed to assess the microbiological safety of street-vended beverages sold by vendors in Pekanbaru City. Samples were collected from seven districts, yielding a total of 16 beverage samples. Microbiological analysis was conducted using both general and selective media. Plate Count Agar (PCA) and Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) were used to determine total bacterial and fungal counts, MacConkey Agar (MCA) for detecting Coliform and E. coli, CHROMagar™ O157:H7 for identifying E. coli O157:H7, and TCBS-agar for detecting Vibrio species. The results showed that all samples contained total bacterial and fungal counts that were too numerous to count (TNTC), exceeding the Indonesian National Agency of Drug and Food Control (BPOM) threshold of 1 × 10⁵ CFU/mL. Coliform contamination was identified in 11 samples, while E. coli was detected in 56% of the samples (9 out of 16). Further analysis identified the presence of E. coli O157:H7 and Vibrio species, each detected in 13% of the samples (2 out of 16). The detected E. coli O157:H7 strains have the potential to produce Shiga toxin, which can lead to bloody diarrhea and Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS). Meanwhile, Vibrio species pose a risk of causing cholera. The high levels of contamination observed indicate poor sanitation practices during the preparation and serving of these beverages. This study highlights the urgent need for regular monitoring, sanitation training for street vendors, and consumer education on food safety. Collaborative efforts between government authorities and street vendors are essential to improve street food safety standards and protect public health.
