Traditional markets and supermarkets offer chicken meat at set hours, open tables, and room temperature. However, in supermarkets, the tables are equipped with coolers like ice cubes, low temperatures, and longer serving times. This has the potential for bacterial contamination. This research aimed to evaluate the microbiological quality of chicken meat sold in traditional markets and supermarkets based on the total number of bacteria, Coliforms, Staphylococcus aureus, and the pH value of the chicken meat. The survey method is used, and the data is analyzed descriptively. Surveys were conducted on chicken meat sold in traditional markets and supermarkets regarding the total number of bacteria, Coliforms and Staphylococcus aureus, and the pH in the chicken carcass. The total number of bacteria in chicken meat in traditional markets for all traders is between 1.2 x 105 – 1.4 x 108 cfu/g, while that sold in supermarkets (12 × 106 cfu/g), all exceed the BMC based on SNI 7388:2009, while coliforms and Staphylococcus aureus were only found in trader B (4 × 106 cfu/g and 3 × 102 cfu/g), trader D (2 × 102 cfu/g and 2 × 102 cfu/g) and trader F 1 × 104 cfu/g and 2 × 102 cfu/g), the pH value of chicken meat sold in traditional markets and supermarkets is 5.64 - 6.30.

Because corn silk extract includes antibacterial components, it can be used as a natural disinfectant. The purpose of this study is to identify the concentration of corn silk extract that has the greatest impact on reducing the number of colonies and the bacterial inhibitory power in the milk storage room. Corn silk extract is a natural disinfectant. The research was carried out between April and June 2022 at the Tandangsari Multi-Business Cooperative and the Padjadjaran University Microbiology and Waste Handling Laboratory in Tanjungsari. This investigation was carried out experimentally using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments: P0 (0 percent), P1 (50 percent), P2 (70 percent), and P3 (90 percent), with 5 replications for each. Bacterial inhibition and a decline in bacterial population were the variables seen. The findings of this study indicate that maize silk extract naturally lowers colony counts and inhibits bacterial activity. With an average percentage of 70.77 percent on the floor, 77.97 percent on the table, and 19.53 mm for gram-positive bacteria and 8.43 mm for gram-negative bacteria, a concentration of 70 percent is the concentration that significantly reduces the number of colonies and inhibits bacterial growth.
