ABSTRACT: Microbiological
quality is one crucial factor relating to food products quality. This quality
can be measured based on the growth level of bacteria and fungi during storage
of food product. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of
plastic packaging types and different storage conditions on total bacteria and
total fungi in fresh red fruit. The experiment was conducted using three
treatments of plastic packaging, that is high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low
density polyethylene (LDPE) and polypropylene (PP). Additionally, three storage
conditions were applied, that is room temperature (27 °C), cold temperature (10
°C) and freezing temperatures (-18° C). The results showed that during storage,
freezing conditions inhibited the growth of bacteria and fungi. Meanwhile, the
type of plastic packaging did not inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi.
