The Influence of Storage on Structural Damage of Vegetable-Tanned Goat Skin by Microbes

Abstract This study aimed to determine the influence of storage on structural damage vegetable-tanned goat skin by microbes. The time was divided into three treatments, namely treatment P0 (0 months, storage), P1 (6 and P2 (12 storage). observation parameters for investigation included microbe contamination, pH levels, levels oil/fat. conducted with Analysis Variance Completely Randomized Design (ANOVA) Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) differences between treatments. In contrast, analysis regression used obtain optimum level. research found that highest amount microbial contamination leather occurred at month 12, reaching 4.46x103 CFU. best 14 5.16. oil content is in third month, an oil/fat 7.97%.
