The problem in using rice bran as animal feed is its low stability due to rancidity of hydrolysis and rancidity of oxidation. In addition, it quickly becomes clumpy and brings in insects, especially lice. The objective of this research was to determine the level of use of mangosteen peel flour in rice bran storage for one month on the physical and chemical qualities of rice bran. The research was conducted at the Laboratory of Animal Nutrition and Forage, Department of Animal Husbandry, Faculty of Agriculture, Pattimura University, Ambon. The materials used are rice bran from Gemba and mangosteen peel. The equipment used is a plastic sack with a size of 5 kg, a digital scale, a blender, a temperature and humidity measuring device. The research was conducted using a completely randomized design (CRD), 4 x 4. The observed variables included weight, color, odor, moisture content, crude protein, fat, and peroxide number. The follow-up test used if the treatments show significant differences is the Duncan test. The treatments tested were DKM0 = rice bran without mangosteen peel flour; DKM1 = rice bran with 5% mangosteen peel flour; DKM2 = rice bran with 7.5% mangosteen peel flour; DKM3 = Rice bran with 12.5% ​​mangosteen peel flour. The peroxide value of 7.95meq / kg is achieved when using 5% mangosteen peel flour, while at the 10% level it can suppress the smell until it becomes slightly rancid. The use of 15% mangosteen peel flour was not significant for color, fungus, protein moisture, fat and peroxide numbers.
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.
