Laboratory of Quality and Safety of Fishery Products supports practical activities and research for graduate students. The practical activity held in this laboratory is the practical lecture on Emerging Technology in Fishery Product Processing (MIP20226205). Several activities are the extraction of bioactive compounds from Spirulina and the measurement of phycocyanin purity using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Research topics that are developed in the laboratory include microbial isolation, microbial growth measurement, production and extraction of metabolites from organisms, bioactivity measurement, quality and safety analysis of fishery products, utilization of fishery waste, and molecular studies of microbes. Some of the prominent studies conducted in this laboratory include the study of bioactivity from seaweed and its application in maintaining the quality and safety of fishery products; the utilization of enzymes (chitinase, protease, lipase, and cellulase) in processing waste into value-added products; the study of bioactivity of chitin/chitosan and its derivatives and their application in maintaining the quality and safety of fishery products; the development of a growth model for histamine-forming bacteria in relation to temperature; and the utilization of Lactic Acid Bacteria and their metabolites as natural preservative agents to maintain the quality of fishery products. The laboratory also has a diverse collection of bacterial isolates that produce hydrolytic enzymes (chitinase, protease, lipase, cellulase) isolated from various fishery resources, lactic acid bacteria from various fermented fish foods, as well as histamine-forming bacteria from tuna, skipjack, and mackerel. The Laboratory of Quality and Safety of Fishery Products has established research and training collaborations with universities and research centers, both domestically and internationally. The collaboration that has been carried out is with the Clean Technology Research Center, LIPI Bandung; Marine and Fisheries Office of Yogyakarta Province; Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture, UTAS Australia; Purdue University, USA; and TUMSAT, Japan.
