Abstract

Breast milk is the best food for babies in early life. Ignorance of employed mothers about how to store breast milk is an inhibiting factor for exclusive breastfeeding. Improper storage of breast milk can reduce the number of bacteria in breast milk. The probiotic bacteria of breast milk are important bacteria for infants and affects the gut microbiota as adults. One of the probiotic bacteria of breast milk is Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB). The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of storage time on the colonization of LAB. The type of research is a true experiment. The research sample is breast milk from employed mothers, totaling 5 samples. Each sample was given the same treatment, which was stored for 5 days, 7 days and 14 days in the refrigerator (−4°C) and freezer (−4°C). Data were analyzed by one way Anova. The results showed that there is a significant difference in the mean of lactic acid bacteria colonization based on storage time with p value = 0.00, both stored at −4°C and stored at −15°C. The conclusion of the study was that there was the effect of the storage time on the total LAB colonization.
