MINUMAN

Page 32: Food Regulation in Europe

Susu dan Produk SusuThe proposed amendment should accommodate this new category of products without re-opening already agreed provisions in the Standard. Fermented milk drinks can be manufactured by the addition of potable water and a variety of other ingredients, including sugars, flavours, fruit juices,etc to fermented milk. Their essential part should be fermented milk and the non-milk constituents should not take the place of any milk constituent. The non dairy constituents add additional characteristics to the product, such as palatability, drinkability, flavouring and sweetness.

Page 33: Food Regulation in Europe

Minuman Susu Fermentasi

• Fermented Milk Drinks are composite milk products, as defined in Section 2.3 of the Codex General Standard for the Use of Dairy Terms (CODEX STAN 206-1999), obtained by mixing Fermented Milk,potable water [and/or whey] and/or non-dairy ingredients, and/or flavours. Fermented Milk Drinks contain a minimum of [40%(m/m) dairy ingredients].

Page 34: Food Regulation in Europe

• Permitted ingradientStarter cultures of harmless microorganisms including those specified • Sodium chloride; and• Non-dairy ingredients (Flavoured Fermented Milks).• Potable water in products covered • Gelatine and starch in:- fermented milks heat-treated after fermentation;- flavoured fermented milk, fermented milk drinks; and- plain fermented milks if permitted by national legislation in the country

of sale to the final consumer;provided they are added only in amounts functionally necessary as governed by Good Manufacturing Practice. These substances may be added either before or after adding the non-dairy ingredients.

Page 35: Food Regulation in Europe

• CompositionIn Flavoured fermented milks and fermented milk drinks the above criteria apply to the fermented milk part.The microbiological criteria (based on the proportion of fermented milk product) are valid up to the date of minimum durability. This requirement does not apply to products heat-treated after fermentation

• Food additivesAdditives authorized in fermented milk drinks (plain), heat treated fermented milk drinks (plain),fermented milk drinks (flavoured) and heat-treated fermented milk drinks (flavoured) are those authorized in fermented milks (plain), heat treated fermented milks (plain), fermented milks (flavoured) and heat treated fermented milks (flavoured), respectively, in the above table

Fruit Juices• CODE OF PRACTICE FOR THE PREVENTION AND REDUCTION OF PATULIN CONTAMINATION

IN APPLE JUICE AND APPLE JUICE INGREDIENTS IN OTHER BEVERAGES

Patulin metabolit sekunder yang diproduksi oleh beberapa spesies fungi dalam genus Penicillium,

Aspergillus dan Byssochlamys. Patulin ditemukan sebagai kontaminan pada banyak buah-buahan

berjamur, sayuran, cereal dan makanan lain. Sumber utama pengontaminasi apel dan produk apel.

Penelitian pada cider apel Ascorbic acid dilaporkan menyebabkan ketidakberadaan patulin dari jus

apel meskipun kondisi optimal untuk inaktivasi tidak sepenuhnya terpenuhi.

Patulin relatif pada suhu stabil, sebagian pada pH asam. Perlakuan temperatur tinggi (150oC) dengan

jangka waktu pendek dilaporkan dapat mereduksi patulin kira-kira 20%. Proses thermal ini sendiri

tidak cukup menjamin produk bebas dari patulin.

Page 42: Food Regulation in Europe

Rekomendasi untuk mengurangi kontaminasi patulin pada jus apel dibagi dalam dua bagian : 

I) Recommended practices based on Good Agricultural Practice (GAP). II) Recommended practices based on Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

 

Page 43: Food Regulation in Europe

Hal-hal yang dilakukan untuk buah-buahan juice manufacturing :

Membuang buah-buahan yang busuk. Buah-buahan terpilih disimpan dalam

kontainer.

Temperatur penyimpanan yang ideal untuk buah-buahan juice manufacturing adalah

<5o C

Fungi mungkin masih dapat memproduksi patulin bersama-sama dengan fungi dan

yeast lain. Oleh karena itu penting sekali mencegah perkembangan mikroba yang

merugikan selama transport dan penyimpanan untuk mencegah produk rusak dan

produksi patulin.

Simpan jus pada temperatur <5o C untuk mengurangi pertumbuhan mikroba.

Kebanyakan jus akan diproses dengan panas untuk memastikan rusaknya enzim dan

mikroba merugikan. Umumnya dapat merusak spora fungi dan miselium vegetatif.

Namun, proses ini tidak akan merusak patulin yang telah ada.

Page 44: Food Regulation in Europe

QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF JUICE (Penilaian Kualitas Jus)

• Spesifikasi untuk pembelian jus apel atau konsentrat jus apel sebaiknya

memasukkan maximum limit patulin didasarkan pada metode analisis yang tepat.

•  Melakukan sampling produk secara random untuk menjamin produk akhir .

• Pengusaha  pengepak harus memuaskan dirinya sendiri bahwa supplier jus mampu

mengontrol operasional miliknya dengan sebaik-baiknya.

•  penilaian kualitas jus oleh “packer” akan memasukkan oBrix, keasaman, rasa,

warna, turbiditas, dll. Kualitas secara mikrobiologi dipantau secara hati-hati sejak

mengindikasikan resiko potensial adanya organisme penghasil patulin juga aspek

higienisnya.

• Mengecek pada kemasan produk untuk memastikan bahwa tidak terjadi deteorasi

selama proses pengepakan

Page 45: Food Regulation in Europe

Proses Pengalengan MakananDi Eropa

Page 46: Food Regulation in Europe

Pengalengan

• Pengalengan merupakan cara pengawetan bahan pangan dalam wadah yang tertutup rapat (hermetis) dan disterilisasi dengan panas (proses termal).

Page 47: Food Regulation in Europe

Prinsip dasar pengalengan dengan proses termal • Perambatan dan penetrasi panas serta

sifat daya tahan panas mikroorganisme khususnya yang berbentuk spora.

Page 48: Food Regulation in Europe

Proses Penggunaan Panas pada pengalengan bahan makanan

• Hal-hal yang perlu diperhatikan adalah 1. Pemilihan bahan mentah (raw material) 2. Persiapan sebelum pengolahan pencucian/pembuangan bagian-bagian

yang tidak diperlukan/perendaman.

3. Pengolahan dan pengemasan perlu diperhatikan sifat dari bahan makanan

yang akan diawetkan, apakah berasam rendah

atau tinggi menjadi 4 golongan.

Page 49: Food Regulation in Europe

Berdasarkan derajat keasaman bahan pangan yang diolah digolongkan menjadi 4

golongan• Bahan pangan alkalis pH > 7 telur tua, soda,

crackers, & bubur jagung• Bahan pangan asam dengan pH 5-6,8 daging,

ikan unggas, susu, & sayuran mudah ditumbuhi C.botulinum membutuhkan panas yang lebih tinggi

• Bahan pangan asam dengan pH antara 3,7 -4,5. pir, jeruk, tomat, dan sayuran yang ditambahkan cuka sampai pH tsb. mudah ditumbuhi khamir, kapang, bakteri asidurik

• Bahan pangan asam tinggi memiliki pH antara 2,3-3,7buah beri, produk acar, jam,& jeli

mudah ditumbuhi khamir, kapang, bakteri asidurik

Page 50: Food Regulation in Europe

Faktor yang Perlu Diperhatikan dalam Penggunaan Panas

1. Jumlah panas yang diberikan harus cukup untuk mematikan mikroorganisme pembusuk dan patogen.2. Jumlah panas yang digunakan tidak menyebabkan penurunan zat gizi dan cita rasa.

Page 51: Food Regulation in Europe

Tujuan Utama Proses Termal (Panas) Pada Pengalengan

• Kondisi pemanasan yang dirancang menghasilkan makanan kaleng yang ”steril komersial” masih terdapat beberapa mikroorganisme yang masih dapat hidup setelah pemberian panas (steilisasi) mikroorganisme tidak membusukkan produk di dalam kaleng.

Page 52: Food Regulation in Europe

Sterilisasi Komersial• Untuk membunuh mikroorganisme patogen dan

pembusuk makanan yang ada didalam kaleng, sehingga dapat mencegah terjadinya pembusukan selama penyimpanan dan bahan pangan tersebut tidak membahayakan kesehatan konsumen

• Bahan pangan yang diproses dengan sterilisasi komersial kebanyakan dikemas pada kondisi anaerobik sebab spora mikroorganisme anaerobik biasanya mempunyai ketahanan panas lebih rendah dibandingkan spora aerobik sehingga suhu dan waktu proses sterilisasi dapat lebih rendah

Page 53: Food Regulation in Europe

Tahapan Proses Pengalengan Bahan makanan

Page 54: Food Regulation in Europe

Bakteri yang dapat membusukan makanan kaleng

• Clostridium botulinum patogen bakteri pembentuk spora yang dapat menghasilkan racun botulin yang mematikan.

• PA 3679 (Putrefactive Anaerob) dan Bacillus stearothermophilus (FS 1518) nonpatogen memiliki daya panas lebih tinggi dibandingkan C. botulinum jika panas yang diberikan cukup untuk membunuh kedua bakteri tersebut, diharapkan C.botulinum dan bakteri-bakteri patogen lainnya akan mati.

Page 55: Food Regulation in Europe
