| Abstract: | Healthy School Children Snacks are important for children to support their growth, especially children of elementary school. The snacks gotten by them can be brought from home either bought at food seller at school canteen or around elementary school. The children could get the snack either bring from home or buy at around elementary school. Healthy School Children Snacks distributed by food seller around elementary school might have risks, not only physics, chemistry, but also microbiology risks. They might contain forbidden substances such as borax, formalin, rhodamin and other additive substances excess such as saccharin, aspartame and benzoate. The snacks might contain forbidden substances such as borax, formalin, rhodamin and also excessive additive, such as saccharin, aspartame and benzoate. Besides that, they also might contain pathogen bacteria such as Eschericia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella thypii, as a result of contaminant process. This research is done by National Agency Drug and Food Controlling of Republic of Indonesia (BPOM RI) Ambon to control the safety, efficacy and quality of the food as post market surveillance in Maluku province. This research scope written is identification and determination of Borax as forbidden substances. The scope of this research is identification and determination of borax as forbidden substances. Sampling of these snacks be held at Ambon, West Region Seram (SBB) and Buru. From these areas, 24 samples of 60 samples (40.00%) consist of variety of meat balls, fried foods and snacks. Identification and determination of Borax done by spectrometry are used 3.0 ml reagents of curcumin 0.125%, 3 ml acetate -sulphate acids (1:1), and 15.0 ml acetate ammonia as dilutions. First, 0.500 g of food samples is weighted accurately then diluted in 4.0 ml carbonate sodium 1% and dried off in oven at temperature 100 oC. Second, it is blazed in incandescent Bunsen and furnace at temperature 500 oC for 3 hours to be ashes. Third, the ashes is diluted in 1.0 ml chloride acid (1:4) and aqua dist ad 50.0 ml. Last, these sample dilutions and variety of reference standards dilutions done alike are scanned by spectrometry at UV wave length 540 nm. The result is 3 samples of 24 samples (12.50%) positively contain borax as forbidden substances. Borax's values are 165.07 mg/kg in meat ball sample; 221.92 mg/kg in fish cracker sample and 98.66 mg/kg in dried tofu sample. From the result of this research, it can be concluded that 12.50% of Healthy School Children Snacks distributed in Maluku province positively contain borax as forbidden substances. This result needs to follow with actions to protect these foods either consumed by children or distributed by food sellers around elementary school. If it is necessary, law enforcement can be done accompanied other stakeholders to make sure that healthy school children snacks are safety, efficacy and have a good quality. |
