Establishment and implementation sanitation standard operating procedures (ssop) in Green tea processing

Abstract

Implementation of sanitation will be more focus with more detail Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOP) for each production machine, production supporting facilities, and surrounding environment. The purpose of this research is to arrange SSOP as an implementation of standard procedure in achieving higher quality. Research methods consist of usage of qualitative and quantitative data, sanitation practical assay, SSOP arrangement in detail, and SSOP evaluation by using qualitative data. SSOP which was arranged as an implementation of sanitation practical in PT Cunung Titiran consists of four aspects which are SSOP of water safety, SSOP of machine and production facilities, SSOP of building treatment and factory facilities, SSOP of cross contamination prevention, and SSOP of manpower. The research result showed that total microbes on each production stage starts from the tip of fresh tea leaves were 3. Ox 10s cfu/25 g [tip of tea leaf), 1.9 x 104 cfu/25 g (rotary panner machine), 8.5 x 107 cfu/25 g [jakson machine), 2.3 x 106 cfu/25 g (ECP), 3.0 x 104 cfu/25 g (Cold Machine number II], 1.7 x 101 [ball tea machine). SSOP implementation which can be done in a few production area comprise of hair covering, gauze installment to prevent animal, usage of closed shoes in production area, usage of a special slippers when the workers are in toilet, and usage of a machine cover in unused machine.
