Abstract

English

Sea cucumber (Holothuria sp.) viscera, commonly considered as waste in the sea cucumber processing industry, has been proven to possess significant nutritional value be utilized as a potential functional feed ingredient. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional content of sea cucumber viscera and assess its potential use as a supplementary feed ingredient in aquaculture. Proximate analysis results indicated that sea cucumber viscera contain high crude protein (39.69 ± 0.38 %) and crude fat (26.62 ± 0.41 %). A complete profile of essential amino acids was identified, with arginine (6,621.7 mg/kg) being the highest. Furthermore, sea cucumber viscera were dominated by polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) at 52.89 %, including EPA (6.73 %) and DHA (7.46 %). Significant vitamin and mineral contents were also found, such as vitamin A (4.16 µg/g), vitamin C (84.67 µg/g), calcium (1,701.72 mg/L), and magnesium (542.38 mg/L). These findings highlight the potential of sea cucumber viscera as a crucial source of energy, protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals for the growth and health of aquaculture organisms. Utilizing sea cucumber viscera as a feed ingredient not only provides a high-nutritional alternative feed but also supports circular economy and zero-waste principles in marine waste management.

Bahasa Indonesia

Jeroan teripang (Holothuria sp.), yang umumnya dianggap sebagai limbah dalam industri pengolahan teripang, terbukti memiliki komposisi nutrisi yang sangat bernilai untuk dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan pakan fungsional. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kandungan nutrisi dari jeroan teripang dan menilai potensi penggunaannya sebagai bahan pakan tambahan dalam akuakultur. Hasil analisis proksimat menunjukkan bahwa jeroan teripang mengandung protein kasar tinggi (39,69 ± 0,38 %) dan lemak kasar (26,62 ± 0,41 %). Profil asam amino esensial yang lengkap terindentifikasi, dengan arginin (6.621,7 mg/kg) sebagai yang tertinggi. Selain itu, jeroan teripang didominasi oleh asam lemak tak jenuh ganda (PUFA) sebesar 52,89 %, termasuk EPA (6,73 %) dan DHA (7,46 %). Kandungan vitamin dan mineral yang signifikan juga ditemukan, seperti vitamin A (4,16 µg/g), vitamin C (84,67 µg/g), kalsium (1.701,72 mg/L), dan magnesium (542,38 mg/L). Temuan ini menandakan potensi jeroan teripang sebagai sumber energi, protein, asam lemak esensial, vitamin, dan mineral yang krusial untuk pertumbuhan dan kesehatan organisme budidaya. Pemanfataan jeroan teripang sebagai bahan pakan tidak hanya menyediakan alternatif pakan bernutrisi tinggi, tetapi juga mendukung prinsip ekonomi sirkular dan zero waste dalam pengelolaan limbah laut.
