Total Bakteri dan Fungi serta Kandungan Nutrisi dari Ampas Kelapa yang Diberi Ekstrak Daun Kersen dengan Lama Penyimpanan Berbeda

Abstract

This study aimed to determine and evaluate the effect of added cherry leaf extract on coconut pulp on total bacteria and fungi along with nutrient content in different storage periods. Cherry leaf extract was extracted using soxhletation method. The concentration of cherry leaf extract used was 50%. Coconut pulp was given two treatments, T0 was not added with cherry leaf extract and T1 was added with cherry leaf extract with a ratio of 10: 1 (w / v) given treatment storage duration of each M0 (week 0 storage time), M2 (week 2 storage time) and M4 (week 4 storage time). The design used was Completely Randomized Design (CRD) factorial pattern with 2 factor treatments and 3 replications. The parameters observed were total fungi, total bacteria, and nutrient content. The treatments of added cherry leaf extract was significantly different (p<0.05) on total of fungi, total bacteria, crude fat content, and crude protein content. The treatment of storage time was significantly different (P <0.05) on water content, ash content and crude fiber of coconut pulp. Cherry leaf extract added to coconut pulp can reduce the total number of fungi but can not decrease on the number of total bacteria nor do preserve nutrient content of coconut pulp during storage.

SINERGISTIC COMBINATION OF ALOE VERA AND KERSEN LEAF EXTRACTS FOR INHIBITION OF THE GROWTH OF Staphylococcus aureus 25923

“…The synergistic combination of antibacterial compounds is more effective in overcoming multicausal bacteria and multidrug resistance compared to a single compound (Olajuyigbe & Afolayan, 2013). Aloe vera and kersen (cherry) plants contain antibacterial activity and antibacterial bioactive compounds, such as saponins, flavonoids and tannins (Karina et al, 2019;Kumar et al, 2012). Flavonoids are reported to inhibit nucleic acid synthesis, cytoplasmic membrane function, and energy metabolism.…”
