| dc.description.abstract | Lalapan is a fresh vegetable usually eat up with rice and other Indonesian dishes.
However, fresh vegetables can potentially be contaminated with pathogenic bacteria,
such as Enterobacteriaceae, harming consumers if not appropriately processed and
cleaned. This study analyzes the correlation between food hygiene and sanitation in
food vendors of Lalapan with Enterobacteriaceae contamination in fresh vegetables. It
used an analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach. In addition, the
population was food vendors of lalapan in the Sumbersari District, Jember Regency.
There were 30 respondents with a consecutive sampling method. Food hygiene and
sanitation instrument was an observation sheet according to 16 points stipulated in the
Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia number
1096/MENKES/PER/VI of 2011. In addition, we tested fresh vegetable samples to
analyze Enterobacteriaceae contamination with a microbiological test using
Salmonella Chromogenic Agar (SCA) media. Then, data analysis used Fisher's exact
test with α=0.05. The observation showed that most respondents had good food
sanitation hygiene (76.7%). The microbiological examination indicated 23 vegetable
samples (76.7%) were contaminated with Enterobacteriaceae. Statistical analysis
using Fisher's exact test Exact obtained p=1.000 (p>0.05). Thus, there was no
significant correlation between food hygiene and sanitation in food vendors of
lalapan with Enterobacteriaceae contamination in fresh vegetables. In conclusion,
hygiene, and sanitation food among food vendors of lalapan do not correlate with
Enterobacteriaceae contamination in fresh vegetables. Further research could analyze
the vegetable's planting, harvesting, and distribution processes as risk factors for
Enterobacteriaceae contamination in fresh vegetables. | en_US |
