STARTEC, Tetracycline Detection Tool in Chicken Meat Submit by vicky.nurwon May 04, 2016| Comment(s) : 0| View : 2009 Startec, tetracycline test kit in chicken meat Originated from the dumps against the high of tetracycline antibiotic usage in broiler chicken which exceed the threshold, five University of Brawijaya (UB) students created a tetracycline residues detection kit in broiler chicken meat. The device named as STARTEC (Smart Tetracycline Residual Kit Detection) is a part of Copyright Works Student Creativity Program. STARTEC was initiated by Bekti Sri Utami (FKH 2013), Hana Razanah (FKH 2013), Puspita Diah Pravitasari (FMIPA 2012), Fitri Indah Permata (FKH 2014), Annisa Rizqi Rafrensca (FKH 2014). The device is able to detect the existence of tetracycline antibiotic residue in chicken meat. "Tetracycline is an antibiotic which being used to prevent disease infection and growth driver in broiler chicken. Tetracycline has broad spectrum, which means it has fighting ability to a number of pathogen bacteria. Besides, tetracycline is a low-cost antibiotic and easily obtained," Puput said. Puput added, antibiotic usage if against the rules, will have a negative impact. "The impact of antibiotic use in the chicken is leaving a residue on chicken carcasses and able to raise consumer's resistance matter due to continuously subtherapeutic accepted, disruption to normal microflora in intestine which is able to reduce population and eliminate good bacteria strains, allergenic, hypersensitivity and toxic in consumer's body," she explained. "We innovate the device in a reaction between tetracycline and H2SO4 principle. Due to the reaction, could be seen the existence of colour changes. The way of the device work is by mashing chicken meat until slightly smooth, and thereafter to be injected ethylene diamine tetra acetate acid (EDTA) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The colour changes that we use as detection indicator," Bekti said. "Under the supervision of drh. Dyah Ayu Oktavianie A.P., M.Biotech, the device will continuously to be studied and developed to actually be used by communities in Indonesia. Thus will able to avoid consumers in consuming tetracycline which exceed the threshold and able to increase safety of animal origin foods. [Vicky/Humas UB/trans.
