Indonesia has various types of tubers offered to be developed, one of which is porang tuber (Amorphophallus muelleri Blume). Amorphophallus muelleri Blume has macronutrient content. Macronutrients consist of carbohydrates, starches, fiber, glucomannan, protein, and lipid. Porang tubers have higher glucomannan content applied in the food sector including emulsifiers and stabilizers based on the application in the pharmaceutical field. This research is a research on the exploitation by fermentation using Lactobacillus bulgaricus bacteria. Porang tuber fermentation (Amorphophallus muelleri Blume) with Lactobacillus bulgaricus bacteria contains carbohydrates, starch, fiber, glucomannan, protein, and lipid. Macronutrient levels were tested in accordance with SNI (National Standard of Indonesia) 1992. The results of the research on macronutrient content before fermentation and after fermentation for 8 hours, 10 hours and 12 hours for carbohydrates were mean ±SD 3.80; starch mean ±SD 2.83; fiber mean ±SD 2.07 ; glucomannan mean ±SD 12.77; protein mean ±SD 2.41; and Lipid mean ±SD 1.89.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
