Abstract

Geographically, Semarang is a town that located between 6°50' - 7°10' south latitude and 109°35'-110°50' east longitude. The town is therefore humid with almost stable yearly temperature range of approximately 20-30°C. These prevalence climatic conditions were the favor conditions for the growing of bacteria and fungi. Inthe industry of mineral water, as well as in beverage industries, bacterial and fungal attack was serious problem in providing safe product to consumers. To overcome this problem, some beverage industries use Apus-28 and alcohol in their production systems. This research was aimed to compare the effectiveness of Apus-28 and alcohol in inhibiting bacterial and fungal growth. The methods that used in this research were agar medium (count agar) and air isolation principles. PCA (plate Count Agar) was used for bacterial investigation and SDA (Sabourd Dextrose Agar) was used for fungal investigation. The results showed that there was no bacterial and fungi on laboratorial research because Apus-28 was known as an effective and efficient disinfectant rather than alcohol. On the other hand, especially in mineral water production room, air isolation indicates that Apus-28 was still an effective and efficient disinfectantto inhibit bacterial and fungal growth. This study awaits further investigation to find out more detailed information about the strains of bacterial and fungi can be controlledby the two disinfectantsat safety dose
