“…Another solution is the development and use of suitable containers for palm sugar storage, as aluminum vessels have shown to maintain more stable pH values compared to bamboo wrapping, a common biomaterial for palm products [29]. Airtight storage in an environment with proper temperature control is a significant way to control microbial growth but based on the isolation of fungi, the colonization of contaminants indicates that more changes may be required in storage.…”

The global demand for alternative sugars is rising due to their lower glycemic index and other health benefits. However, improper manufacture, processing, transport, export, and/or marketing of regional sugar products increases the risk of microbial infection upon consumption. Fungal exposure and contamination of alternative sugars may occur as a result of enhanced hygroscopicity of certain sugar forms such as coconut and palm sugars, which strongly attract water molecules to their surface and thereby fungal spores, a property affected by adulteration practices, e.g. incorporation of cane sugar. The present study highlights risks of unregulated processing of palm sugar in the form of fungal contaminants and their toxigenic potential. Palm sugar was sampled for fungal isolates which were identified as Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, A. carbonarius, A. terreus, and A. fumigatus, followed by colony enumeration. Subsequent extraction of fungal extracts by thin layer chromatography resulted in detection of mycotoxins, including aflatoxins B1 and G1, citrinin, and ochratoxin. The findings confirmed that humid conditions may be optimal for the presence of toxigenic fungi in the palm sugar and production of toxic metabolites, indicating that more stringent regulation is required for palm sugar processing, as the toxins can lead to detrimental health consequences, including acute poisoning, nephropathy, and liver cancer.

“…Kandungan air dan tingkat kelembaban dalam makanan menjadi faktor yang mempengaruhi daya tahan makanan Walaupun nilai ALT telah memenuhi standar, namun keberadaan mikroba pada gula aren sangat tergantung dari wadah yang digunakan, metode perlakuan awal untuk mensterilkan wadah dan waktu penyadapan. Hal tersebut dibuktikan dari rata-rata pertumbuhan bakteri yang disadap dengan menggunakan wadah aluminium mencapai 12,5 CFU/ml pada pagi hari dan meningkat menjadi 350 CFU/ml pada sore hari (Gunawan et al, 2020). Jaya et al (2016) mengungkapkan bahwa interaksi antara suhu pemanasan dan lama penyimpanan secara signifikan (P<0,01) dapat mempengaruhi jumlah mikroorganisme.…”

Palm sugar is widely produced in the North Lombok region, but the production process is still conventional. Consequently, the probability of metal contamination and microbial contamination is very high. This study aims to assign the safety characteristics of palm sugar in Menggala Village, North Lombok, in guaranteeing public health by analyzing the possible contamination. The requirements of factors are based on SNI 3743-2021 for metal contamination and SNI 7388:2009 for microbial contamination. This study used samples from Menggala Village, North Lombok, in November 2021. Samples were taken from one batch of the final product at the production house center, as much as 2 kg from 5 kg of total production. Heavy metal content was analyzed using AAS and ICP-OES. Analysis of Total Viable Count (TVC) and Total Yeast and Mold Count (TYMC) used the pour-plate TPC method, while the coliform test was analyzed using the Most Probable Number (MPN) method. The results of heavy metal contamination meet the SNI 3743:2021 standard. So, the palm sugar is free from these. The results of the TVC and TYMC meet the SNI 7388:2009 standard. However, the palm sugar does not meet the established criteria of SNI 7388:2009 for coliforms. The amount of presence above the threshold is the possible presence of pathogenic microbes that are harmful to human health. The cleanliness factor is the main factor causing the high value of coliform analysis. Several recommendations can be implemented, namely improving hygiene and sanitation facilities for workers, maintaining worker hygiene such as washing hands before and after processing, going to the toilet, handling dirty materials, and wearing clean clothes with head coverings, gloves, masks, or work shoes. Training and education programs are required, and incentives for workers to comply with these standards.

The research was carried out with the assistance of the Basic Research Scheme Batch 1 of Andalas University for Fiscal Year 2023. This study aims to describe palm sugar production, analyze the income and profit of palm sugar farmers, and analyze palm sugar marketing. This study used a survey method by sampling 35 palm sugar entrepreneur farmers by census and 1 collecting trader, 2 inter-regional traders and 10 retail traders who market palm sugar from farmers from Nagari Talang Anau, Gunung Omeh District, 50 City Regency. From the results of the study, it was found that palm sugar is made from palm sap which is traditionally tapped from male flower bunches of palm trees, then processed into palm sugar. The production process starts from tapping palm sap as raw material for palm sugar, cooking palm sap into palm sugar, printing and wrapping sugar and palm sugar ready to be marketed. The total production of palm sugar from Nagari Talang Anau is 1,285kg/week with an average of 36.54kg/farmer. The selling price of farmers is IDR 20,000/kg, production costs are IDR 7,734.67/kg with an average profit of IDR 12,263.33/kg. The return cost ratio (RCR) value of 2.59 which means that Rp 1.00 of cost sacrificed will result in a profit of Rp 1.59. There are 3 types of marketing channels, namely 1à) farmers, merchantsà, consumer retailers, 2) farmers, collecting traders, consumer retailers, and 3) farmersà, interregional tradersà, consumer à retailers à , where the à à most production is marketed outside the region through marketing channels 3 at 62.65%. Marketing channel 1 is sold to consumers of Gunung Omeh sub-district at a consumer price of IDR 22,000/kg, marketing channel 2 is sold to Payakumbuh City at a consumer price of IDR 25,000/kg and marketing channel 3 is sold to Riau Province with an average consumer price of IDR 26,000/kg. In marketing channel 1, farmers' profits are IDR 11,191.33/kg, retailers are 912.50/kg, in marketing channel 2 farmers' profits are IDR 12,749.66/kg, collecting traders IDR 1,010.91/kg and retailers are 2,111.05/kg. In marketing channel 3, farmers' profits are IDR 12,714.52/kg, interregional traders IDR 2,232.98/kg, retailers IDR 2,162.51/kg. Marketing efficiency based on cost was obtained in marketing channel 1 of 10.69, marketing channel 2 of 12.86 and marketing channel 3 of 11.48. Looks the 1st most efficient marketing channel. This palm sugar business provides high profits, especially to farmers. For this reason, it is recommended to increase the production and marketing of palm sugar.
