Abstract

Yogurt is a processed dairy product resulting from the fermentation of milk by lactic acid bacteria, which are responsible for shaping its consistency, sensory profile, and functional attributes. Cilembu sweet potato puree is utilized as a natural prebiotic source due to its inulin and oligosaccharide content, which have the potential to enhance the growth and viability of beneficial bacteria. This study aimed to determine the optimal level of Cilembu sweet potato puree addition in the production of synbiotic yogurt based on physicochemical parameters, including viscosity, syneresis, water holding capacity, pH, and titratable acidity. The research was conducted using an experimental approach with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) comprising four treatment groups and five replications. The treatments consisted of P0 (control without the addition of puree), P1 (5%), P2 (10%), and P3 (15%) of Cilembu sweet potato puree calculated based on the weight of fresh milk. The data analysis was performed using a one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to assess the effect of the treatments. When significant differences were observed, Duncan’s Multiple Range Test was applied as a post hoc analysis to compare the means. The findings showed that incorporating Cilembu sweet potato puree had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on syneresis and water holding capacity, while no significant differences were observed in the other parameters. The best treatment was observed at 15% puree addition, resulting in a syneresis value of 43.46% and a water holding capacity (WHC) of 56.30%. In conclusion, the incorporation of Cilembu sweet potato puree up to 15% effectively improved the stability of synbiotic yogurt, particularly by enhancing water holding capacity and reducing syneresis.

Abstract

Optimal livestock productivity is highly dependent on feed efficiency and the maintained animal health status. The use of Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGPs) has been strictly limited due to the risk of antimicrobial resistance, making natural alternatives crucial for the modern livestock industry. Centella asiatica, a medicinal plant widely recognized for its bioactive compounds, offers significant potential for application in animal nutrition. This plant is rich in triterpenoids, saponins, and flavonoids, which possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties that collectively influence livestock metabolism and performance. This study aims to evaluate the potential and effectiveness of Centella asiatica as a feed additive in enhancing feed intake and growth performance across various livestock species. A systematic review was conducted on scientific publications from 2016 to 2026, accessed through online databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect, focusing on the effects of Centella asiatica supplementation on livestock productivity parameters. The results of this review indicate that the inclusion of Centella asiatica in feed rations can improve feed intake, enhance nutrient utilization, and boost growth performance. Furthermore, its bioactive compounds contribute to improved gut health and immune response, which indirectly support superior growth outcomes. Several studies reported that the inclusion of Centella asiatica at optimal levels results in increased body weight gain and improved feed efficiency. In conclusion, Centella asiatica represents an effective natural approach to enhancing growth performance and feed efficiency, making it a highly relevant application in sustainable and antibiotic-free livestock production systems.
