PENGARUH LAMA INKUBASI TERHADAP TOTAL BAKTERI DAN SENSORIS SUSU KUDA, KAMBING, DAN SAPI FERMENTASI DENGAN BAKTERI Bifidobacterium longum Widitya Tri Nugraha 09/284257/PT/05628 INTISARI Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh perbedaan lama inkubasi serta jenis susu terhadap pertumbuhan bakteri dan sensoris susu fermentasi dengan starter bakteri Bifidobacterium longum. Susu yang digunakan sebagai media adalah susu sapi, kambing dan kuda, sedangkan lama inkubasi yaitu jam ke 0, 3, 6 dan 9. Variabel yang diamati meliputi keasaman, pH, protein, jumlah bakteri dengan metode breed sedangkan uji sensoris dilakukan pada perlakuan susu fermentasi jam ke 9 inkubasi. Jumlah starter bakteri yang akan ditambahkan sebanyak 10% v/v pada masing-masing susu. Data keasaman, pH, protein terlarut dan jumlah bakteri dihitung menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap Pola Faktorial, sedangkan data uji sensoris dengan uji K-Independen Kruskal Wallis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perbedaan jenis susu dan lama inkubasi pengaruh nyata (P<0,05) terhadap keasaman, pH dan jumlah pertumbuhan, namun berpengaruh tidak nyata (P>0,05) terhadap protein terlarut pada perbedaan lama inkubasi. Interaksi antara perbedaan jenis susu sebagai media fermentasi dan lama inkubasi berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05) terhadap keasaman dan pH, namun berpengaruh tidak nyata (P>0,05) terhadap protein terlarut dan jumlah pertumbuhan bakteri. Nilai pH akhir pada susu sapi, kambing dan kuda berturut-turut (5,03. 5,74, 3,91) dengan nilai keasaman (0,37, 0,34, 0,36%), protein terlarut (26,5, 67,56, 42,82 mg/ml) dan jumlah bakteri (37.108, 44.108, 62.108 sel/ml). Cita rasa yang dihasilkan pada jam ke 9 menunjukkan sebagian besar responden menyatakan rasa pahit yang timbul menurunkan tingkat kesukaan terhadap susu fermentasi dengan starter bakteri Bifidobacterium longum. Kesimpulan dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan jenis susu dan lama inkubasi berpengaruh terhadap kualitas kimia, pertumbuhan bakteri dan cita rasa susu fermentasi.

Milk is used as a medium to grow bacteria are dairy cows, goats and mare’s milk, whereas incubation at the 0, 3, 6 and 9 hours. Variables was observed include acidity, pH, protein, the number of bacteria. The sensory testing performed while in fermented milk treatment to 9 hours of incubation. Number of starter bacteria to be added as much as 10% v/v at each milk. Data of acidity, pH, protein and the number of bacteria calculated using a Factorial Completely Randomized design, while the sensory test data with Kindependent Kruskal Wallis test. The results showed differences in the type of milk and the effect of incubation at significantly (P<0.05) on acidity, pH and the amount of growth, but the effect was not significant (P>0.05) of the protein in the difference h of incubation. Interaction between the different types of milk as fermentation media and incubation at significantly (P<0.05) against acidity and pH, but the was not significant (P>0.05) of the protein and the amount of bacterial growth. Final pH value of the milk cows, goats and horses in a row (5.03. 5.74, 3.91) with the acidity values (0.37, 0.34, 0.36%), protein (26.5, 67.56, 42.82 mg/ml) and the number of bacteria (37.108, 44.108, 62.108 cell/ml). The resulting taste at all 9 shows that the majority of respondents expressed a bitter taste preference for lower levels of milk fermented with starter bacteria Bifidobacterium longum. Conclusions of the study indicate that differences in the type of milk and the long incubation effect on bacterial growth and sensory of fermented milk.
