The Potential of Ciplukan (Physalis angulata l.) and patchouli waste extract (pogostemon patchouli pellet) as alternative sources of phytogenic feed additive

Abstract

The research was carried out using the method of extraction and identification of phytogenic components of ciplukan and patchouli waste. The observed variables include nutritional and antioxidant content, phytochemicals, phytogenic compounds, and antibacterial inhibition. Data were analyzed descriptively and tabulated according to the variables. The results showed that ciplukan extracts and patchouli waste produce a yield of 9.75% and 1.02%, respectively by weight of fresh ingredients. Furthermore, the nutritional content of ciplukan and patchouli waste contains crude protein of 27.79% and 14.19%, fibre of 7.08% and 17.09%, fat of 3.43% and 3.85%, BETN of 27.46 and 40.87%, and the antioxidant content of 75.70% and 73.53%, respectively. The phytochemical test result shows that patchouli waste extract contains bioactive substances such as alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, saponins, steroids, terpenoids, and essential oils. However, ciplukan extract does not contain terpenoids and essential oils. Also, the antibacterial test result showed that patchouli waste extract had the largest inhibition zone against E.coli and Salmonella with an average diameter of 12.50 and 8.50 mm, respectively. Conclusively, patchouli waste extract has the potential to be used as an alternative source of phytogenic feed additive because it contains bioactive substances and acts as antibacterial.
