Optimization of Mannan-oligosaccharide production from palm kernel cake and its prebiotic property
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study examined techniques for extracting mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) from palm kernel cake (PKC) and assessed their prebiotic characteristics. Three extraction procedures were evaluated: 1) 2%(w/v) sodium hydroxide extract (S1), 2) 10%(v/v) ethanol extract (S2), and 3) Bio-ase enzyme at 10unit/milliliter (S3). Analysis of hydrolysates by HPLC revealed that S3 provided the most effective extraction. The effect of enzyme concentration (10, 15, and 20unit/milliliter) was examined, and 15unit/milliliter (S3-2) was identified as the optimal concentration, yielding a hydrolysate containing a total MOS content of 3.48gram/liter, including mannobiose, mannotriose, and mannotetraose. The prebiotic characteristics of the PKC hydrolysate were assessed by determining their ability to stimulate the growth of Lactic Acid Bacteria Enterococcus faecalis SHI-1 isolated from a 1-year-old Pomeranian dog. At 125 and 250ppm concentrations, the hydrolysate outperformed fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) in terms of probiotic growth. Furthermore, it demonstrated high resistant to digestion by simulated gastric juice and alpha-amylase, with resistant rates of 98.86 and 99.19% respectively. In conclusion, using the Bio-ase enzyme, which is made in Thailand, proved to be an efficient approach for generating MOS-rich hydrolysate from PKC. This approach minimizes processing time, procedural complexity, and chemical usage, indicating its potential for further application in the pet food industry.
