Penilaian Mutu Secara Organoleptik Ikan Patin (Pangasius sp.) Segar Di Pasar Bauntung, Banjarbaru, Kalimantan Selatan

The level of fish consumption in South Kalimantan, especially by the people of Banjarbaru is very high. In some traditional markets, the process of handling catfish (Pangasius sp.) still needs to be reviewed for their quality management, so the quality of catfish received by consumers is still in a good condition. The purpose of this study was to assess the organoleptic quality of fresh catfish during sales at Bauntung market in Banjarbaru city. In this study, the method used was organoleptic testing with the score test method. The score test used was determining quality levels based on a scale of 1 to 9, with 1 as the lowest value and 9 as the highest value by using the organoleptic score sheet of fresh fish performed by 7 untrained panelists. Observation method used using score sheets to observe fish handling activities by 2 different sellers. Observations were made at 10:00 and 15:00, local time. On the observation at 10:00, the two groups of catfish retained their good organoleptic qualities, on the other hand, at 15:00, there was a decrease in organoleptic quality in both catfish groups. For both groups and at both observation times, the organoleptic quality scoring was higher than 7. The score showed that the catfishes at Bauntung Market maintained their fresh qualities and were suitable for consumption after handling.Tingkat konsumsi ikan di Kalimantan Selatan, khususnya masyarakat Banjarbaru sangat tinggi. Pada beberapa pasar tradisional, proses penanganan ikan patin (Pangasius sp.) masih perlu ditinjau ulang agar kualitas ikan patin yang diterima konsumen masih dalam keadaan baik. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menilai mutu organoleptik ikan patin segar selama penjualan di pasar Bauntung kota Banjarbaru. Metode uji skoring digunakan untuk pengujian organoleptik dengan skala 1 (nilai terendah) sampai 9 (nilai tertinggi) menggunakan score sheet organoleptik ikan segar yang dilakukan oleh 7 orang panelis tidak terlatih. Metode observasi menggunakan lembar score sheet digunakan untuk mengetahui aktivitas penanganan ikan pada dua penjual. Pengamatan dilakukan pada pukul 10.00 dan pukul 15.00, waktu setempat. Pada pengamatan mutu organoleptik pukul 10.00, ikan patin dari kedua penjual masih memiliki kualitas mutu yang baik, akan tetapi pada pukul 15.00 terjadi penurunan mutu organoleptik pada ikan patin dari kedua pedagang. Hasil organoleptik pada waktu pengamatan yang berbeda lebih dari 7. skor ini menunjukkan ikan patin di pasar Bauntung masih berkualitas segar dan layak konsumsi setelah penanganan
