PENGARUH KONSENTRASI DAUN BELIMBING WULUH (Averhoa bilimbi L.) DAN LAMA PENYIMPANAN TERHADAP KUALITAS FISIK TELUR PUYUH

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to analize physical quality of quail eggs which has soaked with wuluh star fruit leaves extract and has storaged for some weeks. This research used 108 quail eggs, 0 day old. This research used a Completely Randomized Design with 6 leaves extract concentrastion treatments (0%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%) and 6 durations of storage treatments (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 weeks) with three replication. The data were analyzed by ANOVA 5% and continued with Duncan test. The result showed that leaves extract concentrastion treatments gave significant effect to egg weight, eggshell weight, egg white weight, yolk score, albumin pH, Haugh Unit (HU), and the shell thick of quail eggs. The interaction treatment gave significant effect to eggshell wheight, albumin pH, and the shell thick of quail eggs.
