Nutritional analysis of jackfruit seed extract enriched with lecithin and artemia biomass fed with jackfruit seed extract enriched with lecithin

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%).
