KUALITAS ORGANOLEPTIK DAGING DARI AYAM KAMPUNG UNGGUL BALITBANGTAN (KUB) YANG DIBERIKAN RANSUM MENGANDUNG LIMBAH UBI JALAR UNGU (Ipomoea Batatas L.)

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of incorporating purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) waste into the diet on the organoleptic quality of Kampung Unggul Balitbangtan (KUB) chicken meat and to determine the optimal inclusion level. The research was conducted at Sesetan Farm, Faculty of Animal Science, Udayana University, while organoleptic testing was carried out at the Laboratory of Animal Product Technology and Microbiology, Faculty of Animal Science, Udayana University. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments and four replications was used. The treatments consisted of a control diet without purple sweet potato waste (R0) and diets containing 5% (R1), 10% (R2), and 15% (R3) purple sweet potato waste. A total of 96 KUB chickens at the grower phase (56 days old) were used in this study. The observed variables included meat organoleptic characteristics such as color appearance, tenderness, aroma, taste, and overall acceptability, which were evaluated using hedonic and hedonic quality tests by 25 semi-trained panelists. Data were analyzed using frequency distribution. The results showed that the inclusion of purple sweet potato waste in the diet had a positive effect on the organoleptic quality of KUB chicken meat, particularly on color and texture attributes. Treatment R2 (10%) resulted in the highest level of panelist preference compared to the other treatments. It can be concluded that the inclusion of up to 10% purple sweet potato waste in the diet improves the organoleptic quality of KUB chicken meat.

ABSTRAK

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian limbah ubi jalar ungu (Ipomoea batatas L.) dalam ransum pada kualitas organoleptik ayam Kampung Unggul Balitbangtan (KUB) serta menentukan level pemberian terbaik. Pelaksanaan penelitian bertempat di Farm Sesetan Fakultas Peternakan Universitas Udayana, sedangkan evaluasi karakteristik organoleptik dilakukan di Laboratorium Teknologi Hasil Ternak dan Mikrobiologi Universitas Udayana. Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan empat perlakuan dan empat ulangan, yaitu ransum tanpa limbah ubi jalar ungu (R0), ransum mengandung 5% (R1), 10% (R2), dan 15% (R3) limbah ubi jalar ungu. Ayam KUB fase grower berumur 56 hari sebanyak 96 ekor digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Variabel yang diamati meliputi kualitas organoleptik daging berupa penampakan warna, tingkat keempukan, aroma, cita rasa, dan penerimaan keseluruhan menggunakan uji hedonik tingkat kesukaan dan mutu hedonik dengan panelis semi terlatih sebanyak 25 orang. Data dianalisis menggunakan distribusi frekuensi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian limbah ubi jalar ungu dalam ransum memberikan respon positif terhadap kualitas organoleptik daging ayam KUB, terutama pada parameter warna dan tekstur. Perlakuan R2 (10%) menunjukkan tingkat kesukaan panelis yang relatif lebih tinggi dibandingkan perlakuan lainnya. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa penambahan limbah ubi jalar ungu hingga level 10% dalam ransum mampu meningkatkan kualitas organoleptik daging ayam KUB.
