Abstract
Indonesian nutmeg has aflatoxin levels above European Union standards, namely B1 6.4 - 120 μg / kg and total aflatoxins of 10.1 - 140 μg / kg. Many factors cause Aspergillus flavus contamination, such as mixing old and young nutmeg, sanitation, drying places, and storing places for nutmeg. This study aims to obtain a technology package to reduce aflatoxins in nutmeg. This study used a completely randomized factorial design with 3 treatment factors, namely: (A1); shell-free drying, (A2); shell-drying, (B1); combination of liquid smoke+clove leaf flour, (B2); Liquid smoke+bitter leaf flour and (C1); Storage duration of 1 month, (C2) storage duration of 2 months, (C3) storage duration of 3 months, then repeated 3 times. The results showed that the moisture content of nutmeg with a combination of treatments for each factor with 1 month of storage was 11.4%, 2 months of storage was 10.2%, and 3 months of storage was 11%. Aflatoxin B1 contamination <3.86 μg / kg, B2 <1.11 μg / kg; G1 <3.86 μg / kg and G2 <1.11 μg / kg and the total aflatoxin was <9.94 μg / kg. The average nutmeg seed fat test result after coating was 31.35%. while the yield of nutmeg seed fat without treatment was 25.6%. the highest yield of coating fat test using liquid smoke and bitter leaf powder (Andrographis penniculata) was 33% and stored for 1 month (A2B2C1).
