Nutrient Content of Cocoa Husk by Cellulose Treatment

This study aims to determine the value of the dry matter, crude protein, crude fiber from the husk of cocoa beans (HCB) which is given enzymatic treatment by cellulase. The method used was an experimental method with a completely randomized design (CRD) of 4 treatments 6 replications. The treatments consisted of E0 = HCB + 0% cellulase, E1 = HCB + 0.013% cellulase, E2 = HCB + 0.026% cellulase and E3 = HCB + 0.039% cellulose. Cellulose enzymes use "Superzyme®" products from Canadian bio-systems. The variables measured in this study include the dry matter, crude protein, crude fiber, ADF and NDF values. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and continued with Duncan's Multiple Distance Test (UJBD). The results of this study indicate that treatment HCB with enzymatically produce crude protein value which increases, as well as the value of dry matter and crude fiber decreased as a result of enzymatic treatment and provides a significant influence (P<0,01) to HCB nutritional value.
