Profil Vitamin, Kalsium, Asam Amino dan Asam Lemak Tepung Jewawut (Setaria italica L.) Fermentasi [Vitamin Calcium, Amino Acid and Fatty Acid Prophile on Fermented Foxtail millet flour (Setaria italica L.)]

Foxtail millet starch content is quite high, so it has the potential to be used as food raw material; This study has been conducted by making foxtail millet flour fermented with starter bacteria of cellulolytic and amylolytic Bacillus amyloliquifaciens B7 and lactic acid bacteria of Lactobacillus plantarum SU-LS537 which can degrade phytic acid.

Parameters measured in the fermentation of foxtail millet was amount of vitamin E, B6 and B12, calcium, essential and non essential amino acids, essential and non essential fatty acids. Fermented foxtail millet decreased vitamin content. A ten fold increase content of calcium concentrations, essential amino acids (histidine, threonine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, lysis), non-essential amino acids (aspartic acid, glutamic acid, serine, glycine, arginine, alanine, proline, tyrosine, and cysteine), the fatty acid (lauric , palmitic) and decrease of fatty acid stearic (non essential fatty acids).
