Buduk is a fish sauce prepared by fermenting fresh small fish with various ingredients such as sugar,roasted rice, vinegar or wine. This study was aimed to assess the physicochemical and microbiologicalproperties of commercial buduk in the Province of West Kalimantan. The Buduk had pH 5-55, moisture52.35%, salt 1.96%, titrated acid 10.80%, free amino nitrogen 1.83 mmol/g, free fatty acid 17.96%, ethanol0.95%, total of mesophilic bacteria 4.81 log CFU/g and lactic acid bacteria 2.09 CFU/g, but no pathogenicbacteria detected. Each commercial buduk showed different physicochemical properties probably causedby variation in recipe of each producer. The microbiological properties did not significantly different but theTMAB found more than the threshold value indicating
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
