The results showed that eight samples tested positive for coliform contaminated with a high of 2800×101 MPN / mL (sample H) and the lowest value 170×101 MPN/mL (sample D). The results obtained show that the sugarcane juice drinks that supply does not meet the standards of Rule Head POM HK.00.06.1.52.4011 No. 2009 with standard quality requirements of 2×101colonies/mL.
