YOGYAKARTA Animal animals, including goats, cows, and sheep, can bring toxophasms from the grass they eat. According to research reviewed in Parasiteology International and Livestock Sciences Journal reported by The Conversation, Friday, July 8, if beef, goats, and sheep are not cooked until cooked, they still contain a golden Toxoplasta.

The gondii Toxoplasta is a parasite in the single-cell animal group or protozoa that lives in cells. Also known as an intracellular obligate parasite that can interfere with human health. This type of autooxysta that releases the sporozoit then attacks the intestinal wall. These parasites are consumed by animals in one food chain. For example, from rats and birds eaten by cats.

In the cat's intestines, the gondii Toxoplasma will produce cysts and come out with feces. The cyst took 1-5 days to mature and become dangerous. The parasite can stick to the grass and be eaten by livestock. Research published in the 2013 Veterinary Science and Medicine Journal, shows that infections caused by Toxoplasta in goats are quite high in several countries. Including Brazil, Ethiopia, Iran, and Indonesia.

Well, because the toxophasm is very small in size and cannot be seen with the naked eye, it is necessary to anticipate so that health problems are not experienced. To cook goat meat, pay attention to the temperature and how long it cooks so that the parasite dies and does not interfere with your health.

Parasis Toxoplastasma gondii causes a disease called toxicosis. Toxoplastis has no symptoms and is usually cured in a few weeks to months. Usually, people who are exposed to this parasite feel tired body and headaches within 5-24 days of post-infection. For people with low immunity and in the fetus, it is dangerous because they can develop congenital disorders and complain about toxicity.

In burning the goat satay with a thick cut of 1.59 centimeters burned with an average temperature of 62 degrees Celsius for 2 to 3 minutes. Whereas according to the study, the Toxoplastasma went live at a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius for about 4 minutes and at a temperature of 50 degrees Celsius for approximately 10 minutes.

A study from New Zealand researchers recommends processing the meat to kill the cyst Toxoplasta gondii needs to be at the right temperature and processing. At a temperature of 49 degrees Celsius, it takes almost an hour for the cyst to die. When the temperature is raised to 55 degrees Celsius, it takes 5.8 minutes to turn off the cyst. Even hotter, at a temperature of 61 degrees Celsius, it will take at least 3.8 minutes and at a temperature of 67 degrees Celsius it will take 3.8 minutes.

To process lamb meat, it takes a temperature of 60-100 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes to turn off the cyst toxophasm. Therefore, so that you can enjoy goat satay safely, heat it at least 67 degrees Celsius for at least 10 minutes.
