ABSTRAK

Keberadaan pedagang gorengan semakin banyak ditemukan di Kota Medan.

Beberapa diantaranya berlokasi di persimpangan jalan raya dekat dengan lampu lalu
lintas, dimana beresiko tercemar timbal yang dihasilkan emisi asap kendaraan
bermotor. Timbal yang bersifat lipofilik dapat menempel pada minyak goreng. Hal ini
dapat mengindikasikan sumber awal pencemaran timbal pada pengolahan gorengan.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kadar timbal pada minyak sebelum
dan sesudah penggorengan yang digunakan pedagang gorengan sekitar kawasan
lampu lalu lintas, serta untuk mengetahui perilaku pedagang tentang pencemaran
udara akibat asap kendaraan bermotor.
Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif yaitu untuk mengetahui gambaran kadar
timbal (Pb) pada minyak sebelum dan sesudah penggorengan yang digunakan
pedagang gorengan. Objek penelitian ini adalah 10 sampel minyak yang terdiri dari 5
sampel sebelum dilakukan penggorengan dan 5 sampel sesudah dilakukan
penggorengan.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, terdapat satu sampel minyak sebelum
penggorengan yang tidak memenuhi syarat menurut Peraturan Kepala BPOM RI No.
HK.00.06.1.52.4011 tahun 2009, sedangkan empat lainnya memenuhi syarat. Untuk
sampel minyak sesudah penggorengan, seluruhnya tidak memenuhi syarat. Perilaku
pedagang di lima persimpangan ini juga masih belum sesuai dengan prinsip higiene
dan sanitasi makanan dalam menghindarkan makanan olahannya dari pencemaran
timbal (Pb).
Disarankan kepada para pedagang hendaknya lebih memperhatikan prinsip
higiene dan sanitasi makanan, jarak tempat berdagang dari lampu lalu lintas,
pelindung/penghalang di sekitar kuali penggorengan, dan pemakaian minyak goreng
yang tidak berulang karena dapat membahayakan kesehatan konsumen makanan
gorengan. Kepada Dinas Kesehatan Kota Medan agar dilakukan pembinaan serta
pengawasan kepada pelaku usaha dagang gorengan yang semakin banyak ditemukan
berjualan di tepi jalan raya.
