Abstract:
Based on the previous study, jackfruit seed extract have been potential to become
substitution for food source of Artemia compared with rnicroalgae. This was due to the
culturing of microalgae were labor intensive and expensive. Then, in this study, the
improvement from jackfruit seed extract was done to by additional of lecithin (JSB-L+).
The proximate composition of jackfruit seed extract enriched with lecithin and proximate
of Artemia fed with jackfruit seed extract enriched with lecithin as well as Artemia fed
with Chlorella have examined. The result showed that proximate composition of JSB-L+
contained of 28.4% protein, 55.4% carbohydrate, 0.8% lipid, 1.7% fiber, 4.1 % ash and
8.7% moisture. Meanwhile, for the Artemia fed with JSB-L+ consists of protein (61.0%),
lipid (1.6%), ash (8.6%), fiber (5.2%) and carbohydrate (23.5%). Then, for Artemia fed
with Ch/ore/la consists of protein (66.7%), lipid (0.5%), ash (7.9%), fiber (3.8%) and
carbohydrate (21.1%).
