Analisis Kondisi Galon dan Kondisi Dispenser Serta Perilaku Konsumen Terhadap Keberadaan Bakteri E.coli pada Air Minum Dalam Kemasan (AMDK) Galon
ABSTRAK
Air minum dalam kemasan (AMDK) galon adalah air baku yang telah
diproses, dan dikemas dalam kemasan dengan volume 19 liter. Di kota besar,
masyarakat mengkonsumsi AMDK galon karena praktis dan dianggap lebih
higienis. Namun meskipun demikian, AMDK galon tetap saja bisa terkontaminasi
oleh bakteri phatogen baik saat pendistribusian, maupun penggunaan melalui
dispenser.
Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui keberadaan bakteri E.coli pada
AMDK galon berdasarkan kondisi AMDK galon, kondisi dispenser yang
digunakan AMDK galon serta berdasarkan perilaku konsumen AMDK galon.
Jenis penelitian ini bersifat survei deskriptif. Objek penelitian ini adalah
AMDK galon, dimana jumlah sampel sebanyak 30 AMDK galon di kota Medan,
pengambilan menggunakan metode non probability sampling sampel dengan
tehnik convenience sampling.
Hasil laboratorium menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 15 (50%) sampel
mengandung bakteri E.colidari 30 sample. Berdasarkan kondisi AMDK galon dan
kondisi dispenser yang digunakan, keberadaan bakteri E.coli lebih tinggi pada
sampel yang berada didalam dispenser >3 hari yaitu sebanyak 10 (83,3%)
sampel, sampel yang dibeli di warung sebanyak 10 (90,9%) sampel, dan sampel
yang dispensernya berumur >5 tahun sebanyak 11 (64,7%) sampel. Berdasarkan
perilaku konsumen, keberadaan bakteri E.coli lebih tinggi pada sampel yang
dispensernya dibersihkan hanya bagian luarnya yaitu sebanyak 12 (57,1%)
sampel, sampel yang dispensernya dibersihkan >6 minggu yang lalu sebanyak 15
(75,0%) sampel, sampel yang dispensernya dibersikan dengan cara hanya dilap
sebanyak 12 (57,1%) sampel, sampel yang dispensernya dilap dengan kain lap
(serbet) sebanyak 10 (66,7%) sampel, sampel yang penampung air sisa
dispensernya dibersihkan setiap sudah penuh sebanyak 6 (75%) sampel, sampel
yang air sisa dalam dispensernya tidak dikuras saat mengganti galon baru
sebanyak 11 (84,6%) sampel, sampel yang tutup galonnya tidak dilap dengan
tissue alkohol saat mengganti galon baru sebanyak 4 (100%) sampel.
Disarankan kepada konsumen agar senantiasa menjaga kualitas AMDK galon
yang dikonsumsi dengan membersihkan dispenser secara teratur dalam waktu
kurang dari 6 minggu.

ABSTRACT
AMDK of gallon is the raw water that has been processed and packed in
volume 19 liters. In the big city, the society consume an AMDK of gallon because
they considered that it is more practical and hygienic, but an AMDK of gallon can
be contaminated by bacteria patoghen either contaminated at the time of
distribution or using through dispenser.
The purpose of this study is to find out the existence of E.coli bacteria in
AMDK of gallon then to identify the existence of E.coli bacteria in AMDK of
gallon based on the condition of an AMDK of gallon, the condition of the
dispenser, and the behaviour of the AMDK of gallon’s user.
The type of this research is descriptive research. The object of this research is
AMDK of gallon, where the number of samples are 30 gallons of AMDK in
Medan city, selected through the non-probability sampling methods by
convinience sampling technique.
Laboratory results found 15 (50%) of 30 samples contained of E.coli
bacteria. Based on the condition of the AMDK of gallon and the dispenser, the
existence of E.coli bacteria is higher in the sample that staying in the dispenser >
3 days as much 10 (83.3%) samples, the samples that purchased at the kiosk were
10 (90.9%) samples, and the samples with dispenser> 5 years old as much 11
(64.7%) samples. Based on the consumer behavior, the existence of E. coli
bacteria is higher in the sample which dispenser cleaned by the outside only as
much 12 (57,1%) sample,the sample that the dispenser cleaned about > 6 weeks
ago as much 15 (75.0%) samples, the sample which dispenser cleaned by wiping
only as much 12 (57.1%) samples, the sample which dispenser was wiped by
using the napkin as much 10 (10) 66.7%) samples, the sample which the
remaining water container of its dispenser cleaned every the container got full as
much as 6 (75%) samples, the sample which remaining water of its dispenser was
not drained when replacing the new gallon as much 11 (84.6%) samples, the
sample which the flap of gallon was not wiped by alcohol tissue when replacing
the new gallons as much as 4 (100%) samples.
Suggested to consumer to clean the AMDK of gallon consumed by washing
dispenser less than 6 weeks.
