Abstrak

Abstrak Hasil laporan studi pendahuluan yang dilakukan pada salah satu pabrik tahu di Kelurahan Sumurrejo berdasarkan pemeriksaan mikrobiologi yang dilakukan di UPTD Labkesda Kabupaten Semarang menunjukkan bahwa air rendaman tahu mengandung bakteri coliform yang melebihi batas ambang yaitu sebesar >1600 per 100 ml. Semakin tinggi tingkat bakteri coliform, maka semakin tinggi pula keberadaan patogen lain yang biasa hidup dalam kotoran manusia dan hewan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk memperoleh gambaran terkait personal hygiene dan sanitasi pabrik tahu serta keberadaan bakteri coliform pada air rendaman tahu di pabrik tahu Kelurahan Sumurrrejo Gunungpati Kota Semarang. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Penelitian ini dilakukan di pabrik tahu Kelurahan Sumurrejo yang dilaksanakan pada bulan Desember 2022 s.d Januari. Jumlah sampel sejumlah 8 sampel diambil dengan teknik total sampling.

The higher the level of coliform bacteria, the higher the presence of other pathogens that normally live in human and animal feces. The purpose of this study was to obtain an overview regarding personal hygiene and sanitation of tofu factories and the presence of coliform bacteria in tofu soaking water at the tofu factory, Sumurrejo Village, Gunungpati, Semarang City.
