FORMULASI MINUMAN TEPUNG CACING TANAH (Lumbricus rubellus Hoffmeister) TERGANULASI DISERTAI UJI DAYA INGATNYA PADA MENCIT JANTAN
Abstract: Protein is a
chemical compound that is important for body. Earthworm (Lumbricus rubellus
Hoffmeister) is known to have high protein content that can be used as
alternative protein. This study aimed to determine the activity of earthworm
flour in improving memory on mice (Mus musculus) and its formulation in the
form of granulated earthworm flour beverage. Memory activity test was performed
using Y labyrinth with observation parameter in the form of latency time
(second) and number of errors. The optimum dose resulted from the memory test
is 325 mg/kg BB which is equivalent to the use of two times the preparation
containing 1.25 g of earthworm flour. Optimization of suspending agent was done
singly and combination and obtained 3 formulae combination of best suspending
agent and then continued to granulation proces. Formula evaluation conducted
were organoleptic test, moisture, flow properties, particle size distribution,
reconstitution time, redispersion time, sedimentation volume, viscosity,
stability, hedonic test and quantitative analysis of protein content. Based of
evaluation, one optimum formula was chosen which was, combination of 0,5%
CMC-Na, 0,1% Sodium Alginate, 3,75% turmeric powder, 10% white sugar, 3% talk
and Mg stearat 1%. The protein contained in the best formula was 26.03%
