This study aims to determine the level of bacteriological contamination and heavy metal lead (Pb) in langkitang (Faunus ater) meat. The sample were taken randomly as 15 samples from traders. Examination of microbial contamination in meat used a serial dilution method Most Probable Number (MPN) consisting of the presumptive test, confirmed test, and completed test. Measurement of Lead Heavy Metal (Pb) content used Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). The result of bacteriological testing of the MPN/ 100 ml sample showed that the tested Langkitang meat contained contaminating bacteria for each sample tested, and Lead metal was also detected, some of which had values that exceeded the threshold. Based on the results of the analysis, the langkitang meat has a microbial and lead metal contamination content that exceeds the health threshold so that it takes proper processing before the meat is consumed
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.
