Abstract

Rice bran is widely used as an animal feed ingredient due to its availability and relatively good nutrient content. Fermentation is commonly applied to improve its quality and stability. However, fermentation duration may influence the physical and organoleptic characteristics of the final product. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in physical and organoleptic characteristics (color, aroma, and texture) of rice bran fermented with 2% EM4 at different fermentation durations (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 days). This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach through direct visual and sensory observation. The observed parameters included color, aroma, and texture changes during the fermentation process. The results showed gradual and consistent changes over time. From day 4 to day 10, the rice bran exhibited a more homogeneous yellowish-brown color, a distinctive and stable fermented aroma, and a moist, smoother texture. On day 12, a slight decrease in moisture was observed, although the aroma and color remained stable. These findings indicate that fermentation duration influences the physical and organoleptic quality of rice bran, with day 8 to day 10 showing the most optimal characteristics. This study provides practical information regarding the appropriate fermentation duration to obtain physically stable and acceptable fermented rice bran as animal feed material

Abstract

Abstract Rice flour is a widely used as an intermediate ingredient in various processed food products; however, it has limitations in terms of protein and micronutrient ontent. The utilization of broken rice as a by-product of rice processing and the substitution of moringa leaf flour are expected to enhance the protein and micronutrient content of rice flour. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional profile of rice flour substituted with moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaf flour as an intermediate product for functional food development. Substitution was conducted at moringa leaf flour concentrations of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% based on the total flour weight. Proximate analysis was performed to determine moisture, ash, protein, fat, carbohydrate, and dietary fiber contents. The results showed that increasing the proportion of moringa leaf flour significantly increased moisture, ash, fat, protein, and dietary fiber contents, while carbohydrate content decreased with higher levels of moringa leaf flour substitution. These findings indicate that rice flour substituted with moringa leaf flour has strong potential as a nutrient-enriched intermediate product and may support the development of locally based healthy food products. Further studies are recommended to evaluate the physicochemical, functional, and sensory characteristics of final products derived from this composite flour.
