PENGARUH PERENDAMAN IKAN MAS (Cyprinus carpio) SEGAR DALAM CUKA AIR KELAPA SEBAGAI BIOPRESERVATIF SELAMA PENYIMPANAN
Coconut water vinegar contains acetic acid which has the potential as a biopreservative, an alternative to reduce the level of bacterial contaminants in fresh fish. This research determined the effect of soaking goldfish in coconut water vinegar as a biopreservative during storage on organoleptic characteristics, pH, Total Plate Count (TPC), Total Volatile Base (TVB) and determined the best treatment of soaking in coconut water vinegar and storage on the quality characteristics of goldfish. This study used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with two treatment factors, namely soaking time (2, 4, and 6 minutes) and room temperature storage time (0, 6, and 12 hours). The parameters of organoleptic characteristic tests (appearance, odor, texture), pH test, organoleptic test, Total Plate Count test, Total Volatile Base test were quantitatively analyzed using the Anova test at the 95% level. The results of this study indicate that coconut water vinegar soaking has a significant effect on the preservation of carp as a biopreservative on the quality of fresh carp. The best treatment was produced with a soaking time of 6 minutes and storage for 12 hours with eye value characteristics with flat eyeballs, clear, slightly shiny corneas and pupils specific to the type of fish; gills with dark red or reddish brown gill color, less brilliant with a little transparent mucus; body surface mucus with a clear, transparent, quite bright mucus layer; meat with cuts slightly less brilliant, meat tissue strong; fresh, specific odor less clear; dense, compact, elastic texture; pH 5.83; TVB 13.85 mg N/100 g; and TPC 0.9 x 104 colonies/g. Thus, coconut water vinegar can be considered as a biopreservative that is safe for the quality of goldfish.
