IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021

Abstract

Salted fish is an important source of protein and income in Bandung City, Indonesia. Meanwhile, salted fish products that are contaminated with aflatoxin-producing molds can pose a considerable hazard to consumers’ health. This study aims to determine the presence of aflatoxigenic Aspergillus sp. that contaminates salted fish products. A total of 8 samples of dried salted anchovy and 7 samples of dried salted cotton fish from 8 retailers in traditional market were analyzed for fungal contamination, sample physicochemical factors, and prevalence of aflatoxigenic Aspergillus sp.. This research was divided into 4 stages, namely, total mold calculation, identification of molds through morphological observations, isolation, screening, and molecular identification of aflatoxin-producing molds. Using internal transcribed spacer (ITS), Nor-1, and Ord1 primers, 8 out of 66 mold isolates from salted fish samples were isolated and identified.The results showed that the dominant genera in dried...
