 ABSTRACT

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus L.) is an important underutilized fruit of the tropics constitutes three parts namely bulbs, seed and rind or waste constitutes 50 - 55 per cent of the bulk of the fruit and is a good source of pectin and minerals. An experiment on solid state fermentation of jackfruit waste  supplemented with organic and inorganic sources of nitrogen and fermented by probiotic yeast (Saccharomyces boulardii) and lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus acidophilus) was studied for the nutrient enrichment of the jackfruit waste as animal feed. The results revealed that jackfruit waste supplemented with 2 per cent ammonium sulphate and combined fermentation by yeast and lactic acid bacteria  showed significant increase in nutrient contents of  crude protein (23.37%), crude fibre (22.26%) carbohydrates (70.99%), titrable acidity (2.17%), total sugars (1.22%) with pH (3.97), moisture content (5.53%), yeast (1.5x106 cfu/g), LAB population of (1.8x106 cfu/g). The results conclude that supplementation and fermentation of jackfruit waste helps to enrich the nutrients which could be a very good source of animal feed supplement which otherwise being discarded.
