The Microencapsulation of Noni Fruit Extract (Morinda Citrifolia L.) with Maltodextrin and Its Implementation As Feed Additive on Carcass Quality and Histology of Intestinal Sentul Chicken

Abstract

Noni fruit contains photogenic compounds and active substances that function as antibacterial, antioxidant, anthelmintics, and anti-cholesterol and can increase the digestibility of feed. Active compounds with natural antioxidant activity have properties that are very unstable to heat and oxidation reactions. Microencapsulation is a technique to coat the components of bioactive compounds in extracts using a coating material. The coating material used is maltodextrin (70% extract:30% maltodextrin). Maltodextrin has high solubility and the ability to inhibit oxidation reactions. The research aims to get an optimal dose of the use of microcapsules product of noni extract (MPNE) on carcass quality and histology of intestinal Sentul chickens. The study used an experimental method with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) to see the influential treatment using analysis of variance followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test consisting of 4 replications and five treatments. So, the total number of chickens that had been reared was 100, and maintenance was carried out for 12 weeks. The feed treatments, namely P0=Basal ration, P1=50 mg/kg Zinc Bacitracin, P2=125 mg/kg MPNE, P3=250 mg/kg MPNE, P4=375 mg/kg MPNE. The results showed that MPNE with a dose of 250 mg/kg is the best treatment for producing live weight carcass, reducing meat cholesterol, dan improving villi height, width, surface area, and jejunum crypt depth. It was concluded that giving noni fruit extract microcapsules a dose of 125-250 mg/kg is recommended as a feed additive to replace AGP for Sentul chickens.

“…The higher the use of SPW in duck feed, the higher the egg yolk colour score [24]. Natural pigment astaxanthin is widely found in shrimp species, so if the feed contains more pigments, it can give a reddish orange colour [29]. The weight of eggs produced in this study was higher than that reported by Abun et al [24], who used fermented SPW, between 41.75 and 51.68 grams.…”

Implementation of Microcapsules of Noni Fruit Extract (Morinda citrifolia L) as a Feed Additive on Nutritional Digestibility and Performance of Sentul Chickens

“…At this time, the filtrate was filtered with paper filters, and then it was concentrated using a rotary evaporator at a temperature of 60°C and a speed of 40 rpm. In addition, 5 ppm CuSO4 and 40 ppm ZnO were added as catalysts to the resulting concentrated extract [9]. The microencapsulation process was carried out by mixing noni fruit extract and distilled water, maltodextrin, and distilled water in a ratio of 1: 1, mixed using a homogenizer for 30 minutes at 800 rpm.…”

“…Increased feed efficiency and absorption of nutrients in this treatment due to bioactive compounds, namely anthraquinones, are believed to be used more effectively and efficiently in the gastrointestinal tract of Sentul chickens. Noni extract, which contains anthraquinone substances (acidic material), can affect the pH of the proventriculus to be more acidic because, in an acidic environment, the protein-breaking enzymes in the proventriculus (pepsin) can work optimally, so that more ratio protein is absorbed by the body which supports the occurrence of optimal growth [9]. The better the digestion and absorption of nutrients, the better the body weight gain and indirectly the higher the final body weight.…”
