INTRODUCTION
Soybean husk is a waste that is produced
from the process of boiling and soaking soybeans
which were used as the materials to make
tempe. After going through the process, the husk
will be separated and will normally be thrown
away by the tempe producer.
Based on the analysis in the Laboratory of Bi-
ochemistry and Nutrition Fish, Faculty of Fishe-
ries and Marine Sciences, Brawijaya University
that soybean husk (Glycine max L. Merrill) has a
water content of 12.45%, 14.32% protein,
38.35% crude fiber, 2.32% fat, 4.14% ash and
2.42 kkal.g-1 energy. Therefore, soybean husk still
has the potential to be used as a feed for animals
considering that it has a high protein and ener-
gy [1].
The main problem in the use of the soybean
husk (Glycine max L. Merrill) as a raw material is
fairly high cellulose content of around 33.49%
[2]. Further explained that the soybean husk
(Glycine max L. Merrill) contains 10-20% hemicel-
lulose, 29-51% cellulose, 1-4% lignin and 6 -15%
pectin [3].

Technology to improve the quality of mate-
rials the feed is fermented [4]. Generally all fer-
mentation end products usually contain com-
pounds that are simpler and easier to digest than
the original material thus increase the nutritional
value [5]. The use of agricultural waste products
as fermentation substrate is due to the mass-
produced, the cost of which used lower and rich
in nutrients [6].
Cellulase enzyme complex is composed of cel-
lobiohidrolase, endoglucanase and β - glucosi-
dases which all act synergistically to convert
complex carbohydrates lignocellulosic biomass
into glucose efficiently [7]. Cellulase can be pro-
duced by fungi, bacteria, and ruminants. Produc-
tion of commercial enzyme normally uses fungi
or bacteria. Fungi can produce cellulases include
genus Trichoderma, Aspergillus, and Penicillium
[8]. Aspergillus niger has been widely used be-
cause it produces the three fundamental en-
zymes required for cellulolysis [9].
Previous research the use of A. niger can de-
crease crude fiber is already done. Declared by
the proximate analysis note that the content of
crude fiber grout tofu before it is fermented in
the amount of 24.03% and crude fiber content of
the grout tofu out after fermentation between
0.04 to 0.16% [10]. This is supported by other
research results [11], that the content of crude

fiber grout tofu 21.29% and after fermented de-
creased to 17.29%. A study mentioned that the
fermentation 2 to 4 days can decrease the crude
fiber [12].
The high fiber content and the lack of other
nutritional content of the constraints of local
feed use this as a source of alternative feed
prospective. Thus, this study aims to observe
different time duration in the physical and chem-
ical composition fermentation soybean husk to
improve the quality of fish feed as the feed mate-
rials.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Soybean Husk Fermentation
Briefly, dried and ground soybean husk 100 g
each were placed in a 600ml beaker glass and
autoclaved at 121°C for 20 min [13]. After that,
the soybean husk was densified by using dilution
of 106 [14]. The soybean husk (Glycine max
L. Merrill) was then added molasses in the ratio
of 1:1 with the given mold dose [15] and the sub-
strate was then stirred until it became homoge-
neous and mixed with sterile water until the wa-
ter level reaches 70% [11]. Then, the tray was
covered with plastic wrap and laid in the incuba-
tor at a temperature of 30°C with pH 5 [16].
Physical Assessment Fermentation
Physical Assessment Fermentation is used in
order to determine differences in physical quality
which appear, on the soybean husk that fe r-
mented and non-fermented. The scoring media
of fermentation soybean husk started from 1 to 4
(Bad, Less good, Good and Excellent) where
greater score indicated good fermentation [17].
In the scoring media of fermentation soybean
husk is shown in table 1 below.

Chemical analysis
The parameters observed in this research in-
clude chemical compounds contained in fer-
mented soybean husk before and after being
fermented through proximate test (moisture
content, ash content, crude protein, crude fat,
and crude fiber. The proximate analysis which
was tested with the analysis of water content at
a temperature of 105°C by using the oven for 6
hours, while the protein analysis was analyzed by
using Kjeldahl method. Simultaneously, the fat
was also analyzed by using soxhlet and petr o-
leum ether in order to dissolve the fat. Crude
fiber was assessed by using a solution of
H2SO4 and NaOH as the solvent and the analyza-
tion of the ash was carried out by using a furnace
with a temperature of 600°C for 2 hours [18].
Statistical analysis
Statistical analysis used the analysis of va-
riance (ANOVA). ANOVA was used to test the
effect of the treatment and then further used the
least significant difference (LSD) test at the level
of 5%. In the other hand, the data of organoleptic
test were analyzed descriptively qualitative.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Successful Rate Fermentation
Based on the results, the best fermentation
time was on the 4th day. The physical observation
of the fermentation soybean husk includes tex-
ture, aroma, moisture, and the formed hyphae.
The data scoring of fermentation soybean husk
can be seen in Figure 1 below:
Figure 1. The average scoring value of physical assess-
ment time fermentation containing 6 days
4 days 2 days fermentation soybean husk.
The high scoring value indicated that the fer-
mentation process has been going very well. The
best result of the scoring occurred on the 4th
day. On the 4th day gives the highest score based
on physical characteristics lumps, scent, water
steam, and the formed hyphae.
Moreover, the texture or lumps of the fer-
mented soybean husk indicated the best result
on the 4th day compared to other days. Fermen-
tation causes the changing nature of the feed

material including the texture; it is as a result of
the content cleavage in the foodstuff caused by
microorganisms that are in there [19]. Establish-
ment of a texture is also influenced by water con-
tent, fat content, type and amount of carbohy-
drate food products [20].
Another thing is that in the 2nd and 4th day,
the aroma of the fermentation soybean husk
showed the best fragrance that is slightly sour
and fragrant but it created an acid aroma and an
odor of ammonia on the 6th day. Good fermenta-
tion has a sour and fragrant aroma [21]. Effect on
the hydrolysis time increased levels of NH3 (am-
monia) giving rise to acid aroma [22]. Feed given
additional fermentation may be associated with
aroma and flavor that can affect the appetite of
the animal [23].
In the fermentation with A. niger, water
steam was formed on the 4 and 6th day because
of an exothermic reaction when the process of
organic material cleavage occurred. Fermenta-
tion process will produce CO2 and heat as a result
of the organic material breakdown [24]. The wa-
ter content also affected the growth of mold and
dynamics that occur during the process ensilase
because water is required for the synthesis of
protoplasm microorganisms and dissolved organ-
ic compounds [25].
Based on the results of the 2nd day, there
were some very heavy hyphae throughout the
fermentation media, and besides that, several
spores grew well in some of the fermentation
points. On the 6th day, hyphae began to decrease
because the spores grew very much. Previous
research also demonstrated that Coconut oil cake
and palm kernel oil cake that were fermented
with A. niger would have hyphae by 90% and
spores by 10% on the edge of the spores on the
4th day [26]. Hyphae thrive but few spores that
grow on the fourth day, so that the material is
more easily digested and utilized because the
spores increase fiber content material [5].
Improvement Nutrient Content
The results of the chemical analysis can be
seen in Table 2 below. Based on the results of
proximate treatment C (fermented for 4 days)
are considered better, it can be seen from the
decline in crude fiber contained in the largest C
treatment is 13%. This observation is not as good
as the research of leaves lamtoro fermented with
A. niger crude fiber decreased by 46.61% for 3
days [5]. The decrease in crude fiber occurred
due to A. niger has three essential enzymes
needed for celluloses [9]. The increased crude
fiber during the final phase of fermentation vege-
table waste was due to the utilization of the nu-
trients provided by the mold and then the reduc-
tion can be attributed to breaking the non-starch
polysaccharide for mold protein [27]. Crude fiber
is part of a carbohydrate that difficult to digest by
the digestion of fish, the higher the fiber in the
diet then lowers the energy [28]. High crude fiber
will give a sense of satiety because of the compo-
sition of complex carbohydrates that stops the
appetite that caused a decline in food consump-
tion [29]. The fiber content is too high will sup-
press growth [30].
Based on the proximate result of an increase
in the value of the protein with the length of
fermentation time, testing crude protein fer-
mented soybean husk is the highest by a long
period of 6 days at 17.02%. Vegetable waste and
fermentation by using A. niger S14 for 8 days
increased the protein by 38% [27]. Increased
protein content after the fermentation process
probably derived from A. niger which has synthe-
sized the urease enzyme to break urea into am-
monia and CO2. This ammonia was then used for
the mold to form amino acids (protein) [31].
In the 6th day fermentation, higher A. niger
content was given and it resulted in fat degrada-
tion. It happened because the mold has achieved
an exponential growth [12]. The decreased fat in
fermented palm kernel oil cake flour occurred
due to the conversion of fat into a single protein
biomass [32]. Lipase enzyme produced by fungi
greatly affects crude fat content after fermenta-
tion substrate because the enzyme lipase will
remodel fat to be used by fungi as an energy
source [33]. Microbial lipases have been used as
a catalyst in producing oleochemicals-based
products include fats or oils such as triglycerides
modified low-calorie [34], so even though the
resulting reduced oils or fats rich in EPA and DHA
[35].
Increased NFE in the 4th day fermentation due
to increased glucose as a result of fermentation
of A. niger hydrolyze cellulose. Glucose levels
continued to rise from 8 up to 64 hours, but de-
clined to 72 in rice straw fermentation using A.
niger [36]. Aspergillus niger also produce ß-
glucosidase enzyme that is strong that this en-
zyme serves to accelerate the conversion of cel-
lobiose widened glucose [37]. Carbohydrates are
used as energy source of non-protein replacing
protein as an energy source. If the feed shortage
of non-protein energy then the fish will use a
portion of the protein to insufficient energy
needs [38]. Feed containing carbohydrates (NFE)

exact to reduce the use of protein as an energy
source known as protein sparring effect [39].
In the trials, the dry matter loss was about 7%
in the present study. 20% dry matter loss after 96
h of fermentation of mixed oil cakes with A. niger
616 [40]. In a similar study with wheat bran, has
also reported significant (p < 0.05) reduction in
dry matter throughout the fermentation period
for wheat bran using A. niger S14, suggesting
utilization of nutrients present in the substrate
by fungi for its growth and metabolic activities
[41]. Feed given additional fermentation may be
associated with aroma and flavor that can affect
the appetite of animal and an additional
fermentation in feed also provides an additional
element of essential amino acids [23].

CONCLUSION
The results show that 4 days fermentation of
soybean husk using Aspergillus niger is successful
gives the highest score based on physical charac-
teristics texture, aroma, moisture, and the
formed hyphae and chemical analysis result the
best time fermentation is 4 days the most effec-
tive treatment for decrease in crude fiber and
increase in NFE contained in the largest on 4 days
fermented soybean husk by Aspergillus niger
with a long time 4 days. All of these changes en-
hance the value of the soybean husk as an animal
feed, including aquafeed.

Penyebab penyakit degeneratif salah satunya disebabkan oleh kondisi penurunan fungsi organ dalam tubuh yang dapat ditandai dari kerusakan struktur protein. Reaksi glikasi protein yang menghasilkan produk amadori mengarah pada pembentukan AGEs (Advanced Glycation End Products) yang bersifat radikal. Senyawa antiglikasi memiliki potensi menghambat kerusakan protein lebih lanjut. Metode solid state fermentation (SSF) menggunakan Aspergillus niger dapat menghasilkan enzim yang melimpah, yang berkontribusi terhadap degradasi makromolekul dan mampu meningkatkan bioaktivitasnya. Penelitian ini berfokus pada penentuan aktivitas antiglikasi produk fermentasi daun matoa. Variasi konsentrasi pada pengujian aktivitas antiglikasi dilakukan pada konsentrasi 50 hingga 1000 ppm. Data menunjukkan persen inhibisi produk fermentasi lebih rendah dibanding produk non-fermentasi. Semakin tinggi konsentrasi yang digunakan maka semakin tinggi persen inhibisinya. Variasi konsentrasi menunjukkan adanya pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap penurunan aktivitas antiglikasi (p<0,05). Aktivitas antiglikasi daun matoa sebelum dan sesudah fermentasi masuk dalam kategori sedang (medium).

Jack bean sprouts are rich in plant-based proteins, which possess additional functional properties. However, no studies have reported using different packaging to ferment tempeh to increase the amino acids and nutritional properties of jack bean sprouts. The present study aimed to determine the effects of fermentation time and different packaging materials on the amino acid, proximate, and antinutrient concentrations of tempeh from jack bean sprouts. This study used experimental methods with two factors: fermentation time (36, 48, 60, and 72 h) and packaging material (plastic, banana leaf, and teak leaf). The results showed that the fermentation time contributed to significant changes (P<0.05), including an increase in the moisture, protein, and crude fiber contents of tempeh; a decrease in the fat and carbohydrate contents; and a decrease in antinutritional compounds (tannins, phytic acid, and hydrogen cyanide). The soluble protein content of tempeh was higher after 48 h of fermentation than after 36 h of fermentation, and the content remained consistent across all tempeh treatments until 72 h of fermentation. The amino acid concentration of tempeh fermented for 48 h was evaluated. Tempeh packaged in teak leaves exhibited the highest contents of essential and nonessential amino acids (34.27 and 58.97 g/100 g protein dry weight, respectively), followed by tempeh packaged in banana leaves and plastic. Regardless of packaging materials, tempeh fermented for 48 h contained the highest amounts of hydrophobic amino acids, including L-leucine, L-alanine, L-proline, L-phenylalanine, L-valine, and L-isoleucine.
... The CF content decreases until fermentation duration D4 (96 hours) and slightly increases again at fer-mentation duration D5 (120 hours). This is consistent with the findings of Ihtifazhuddin et al. (2016), who reported that the CF content of the fermented substrate decreases until a fermentation duration of 4 days and slightly increases again on the 6 th day. The decrease in CF content of the fermented product until D4 (96 hours) is due to the enzyme activity produced by Aspergillus niger, such as cellulase, hemicellulose, xylanase, mannanase, and ligninase, during fermentation, which can break down the CF of the PKC and CB substrate (Nurhayati et al., 2018;Do Santos et al., 2015). ...
... Crude fiber generally has lignin and cellulose high content and is difficult for fish to digest [27]. The fiber content that is too high in the ingredients used as feed materials can inhibit the growth of fish [28]. ...

This study aimed to examine the effect of Gamal leaves flour supplementation in commercial feed on the growth of Nirwana tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) fingerlings. The experimental design used was a non-factorial completely randomized design consisting of four treatments and four replications. The treatments studied included commercial feed without supplementation of Gamal leaves flour as a control (P0), commercial feed with supplementation of Gamal leaves flour 10% kg ⁻¹ feed (P1), commercial feed with supplementation of Gamal leaves flour 15% kg ⁻¹ feed (P2), and commercial feed with supplementation of Gamal leaves flour 20% kg ⁻¹ feed (P3). Nirwana tilapia fingerlings were stocked at a density of 1 fish L ⁻¹ . Nirwana tilapia fingerlings size ranges from 2-3 cm. Nirwana tilapia fingerlings maintenance period lasts for 40 days. The Annova test showed that the treatment gave a significant effect on the weight gain, length gain, daily growth rate, and feed conversion ratio (P < 0,05), but did not give a significant effect on the survival rate of Nirwana tilapia fingerlings (P > 0,05). The best dose to increase the growth of Nirwana tilapia fingerlings was commercial feed with supplementation of Gamal leaves flour 10% kg ⁻¹ feed.
... Decreased levels of crude fiber along with the increasing ripening time accompanied by variations in the A. niger level because this mold can break lignocellulose aerobically is superior to other microbes. This is following the opinion of Ihtifazhuddin et al (2016) which states that the decrease in fiber content in the treatment is caused by the enzymes produced by A. niger being able to break down cellulose during the process of fermentation into glucose, which cellulose enzyme is a complex enzyme that works in stages to break down cellulose into glucose. Glucose produced from the substrate will be used as a source of carbon and energy because glucose is the most important carbon source of their daily needs. ...

Tauco is a culturally and culinarily significant traditional fermented soybean condiment in Indonesia. Its production methods vary across different regions. This study aims to examine and compare the processing methods and proximate composition of tauco from three key regions: Cianjur, Pekalongan, and Singkawang. The production process involves sequential steps, including soybean soaking, boiling, solid fermentation, brine fermentation, and drying. Regional variations in fermentation duration and environmental conditions influence the final product characteristics. Proximate analysis of tauco samples evaluated protein, fat, ash, titratable acidity measurement and crude fiber content. The results indicate significant differences in the proximate composition of tauco across the regions. Tauco from Pekalongan exhibited the highest protein content (29.31% db) and the lowest fat content (0.87% db), which may be attributed to a shorter fermentation period. Singkawang tauco had a higher moisture content (73.31% db) and lower protein levels (11.08% db), resulting from prolonged fermentation leading to liquid product. For ash content Singkawang and Pekalongan has a same content but Cianjur has the highest ash content 14.26%. The titratable acidity measurement had different in result in sample 1.80; 1.28; 0.89 for Cianjur, Pekalongan and Singkawang respectively. Fiber content of Cianjur sample was the highest 6.86 and followed by Singkawang and Pekalongan 3.86 and 3.83 respectively. These regional variations in tauco production and composition reflect differences in fermentation practices and climatic conditions, significantly impacting the nutritional properties of the product. The findings provide valuable insights for improving fermentation practices and enhancing product consistency in future commercialization efforts.

Jatropha curcas seed-cake was evaluated for use as a solid state fermentation substrate for production of cellulolytic and xylanolytic enzymes by Aspergillus niger. Supplementation of the seedcake with 10% thatch grass (Hyperrhaenia sp.) resulted in a fivefold increase in xylanase production. Ammonium chloride supplementation increased production of xylanase by 13%. Under the same conditions, cellulase production was not influenced by supplementation with grass or the nitrogen sources used. Maximum xylanase was produced at 25 °C whilst cellulase was maximally produced at 40 °C. Highest xylanase activity was obtained when the cultures had an initial pH of 3 whereas cellulase was maximally produced at an initial pH of 5. Under optimised conditions, 6087 U and 3974 U of xylanase and cellulase respectively were obtained per gram of substrate. Zymograms of crude enzyme extracts showed six active bands ranging from 20 kDa to 43 kDa for cellulase and a 31 kDa active band for xylanase.

Cellulase has by vast applications in the biofuel, pulp and paper, detergent and textile industries. The three components of the enzyme complex (endoglucanase, exoglucanase and β-glucosidase) can effectively depolymerize the cellulose chains in lignocellulosic substrate. Solid-state fermentation (SSF) by fungi is a preferable production route for cellulase because of its low cost, among other advantages. This work describes the cellulase production by Aspergillus niger NRRL3 grown on SSF. SSF was carried out on soybean hulls and waste paper as supports. The effect of the support on cellulase production was assessed under a completely randomized factorial design. The support-time interaction was significant for all the variables studied. Both materials were characterized in terms of water absorption index and critical humidity point. Samples of culture were analyzed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to study spores and fungal growth.

Biokinetic studies on the production of citric acid using Aspergillus niger, a type of fungus, were carried out in batch fermentor with a one litre working volume by taking pure sucrose solution as raw material. The study included the effect of different process variables like initial sucrose concentration, initial pH and nutrients concentration. All these factors have a significant effect on the yield of citric acid production, substrate consumption and biomass generation. It was found that initial sucrose concentration of 15% (w/v) was the most favourable concentration, producing the highest amount (62.76 g/l) of citric acid. For any change in initial sucrose concentration, citric acid production, substrate consumption and concentration of biomass were greatly affected. Initial pH of 6 was the most favourable for high citric acid production. The biokinetic parameters, µ, µ max , K S and Y P/S for citric acid production were also determined.

Effects of replacing fresh pasture with corn silage (CS) or high moisture corn (HMC) on average daily gain (ADG) and rate of subcutaneous fat deposition (RFD) were evaluated in 48 Angus×Hereford heifers (196±6kg) under grazing conditions. Six additional heifers (284±25kg), fitted with ruminal cannulaes, were assigned to a replicated 3×3 Latin square in 15-days periods, to study the effect of supplementation on ruminal fermentation and in situ pasture digestion characteristics. All heifers were assigned to one of three treatments as follows: in T0 fresh pasture (800gkg−1 grass and 20gkg−1 legumes) was the sole component of the diet; whereas CS and HMC were included at 400 and 310gkg−1 of the diet on a DM basis in T1 and T2, respectively. No differences in ADG (910g/day, P=0.34) or RFD (0.022mm/day, P=0.62) were detected among treatments. Total DM intake was higher in T2 (8.54kg/day) when compared to T0 (7.24kg/day) and T1 (6.68kg/day). Average ruminal pH values were higher (P

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether pretreatment of palm kernel meal (PKM) with a commercial feed enzyme (Allzyme Vegpro™) or solid-state fermentation of PKM with the cellulolytic fungus Trichoderma koningii (Oudemans) could improve the nutritive value of raw PKM in the diets of red hybrid tilapia, Oreochromis sp. Seven isonitrogenous (30% crude protein) and isoenergetic (15.1 kJ g−1) practical diets were formulated and fed close to apparent satiation to triplicate groups of 14 fish (mean initial weight 5.1 ± 0.1 g) for 10 weeks. The diets consisted of a control diet which did not contain any PKM, raw PKM diets, enzyme-treated PKM (EPKM) or fermented PKM (FPKM) diets at 20% and 40% (dry weight basis) inclusion rates. The growth performance and feed utilization efficiency of tilapia fed 20% PKM or 20% EPKM were not significantly different (P > 0.05) from those of fish fed the control diet. Fish fed diets containing 40% EPKM showed significantly higher growth and feed utilization efficiency than fish fed 40% raw PKM owing to the improved dry matter, protein, lipid and energy digestibility of the enzyme-treated PKM diets. The apparent protein and lipid digestibility of the 20% EPKM and 40% EPKM diets were not significantly different, and nor was the growth and feed utilization efficiency of fish fed these two diets. Hybrid tilapia fed FPKM-based diets at all dietary inclusions tested showed the poorest growth, and this might indicate the presence of antinutrients in the resultant fungal biomass. In conclusion, it is anticipated that, with further optimization of enzyme pretreatment of PKM, higher levels of PKM could be included in the diets of hybrid tilapia, thereby reducing the impact of rising costs to feed tilapia.
