Modification of Microencapsulate Protein Crude Extract Formula from Chlorella vulgaris and Spirulina platensis for Baby Biscuit

Abstract

Abstract Modification of microencapsulate protein crude extract fromChlorella vulgarisandSpirulina platensiswere conducted to get the best formula for baby biscuit application to offer a solution to malnutrition. Analysis method were carried out by the ultrasonic extraction for short and cheap lyses of phytoplankton biomasses; proximate test to determine protein concentration from phytoplankton crude extract and Spectroscopy Electron Micrograph (SEM) to show shape of microencapsulated. The result showed for the best microencapsulated composition were Formula 3 forChlorella vulgarisand Formula 4Spirulina platensis, while ratio maltodextrin and crude extract protein were 1.75:1 and 2:1 respectively. High protein concentration crude extract forChlorella vulgarisaddition was 47.45% DW, thereforeSpirulina platensisaddition was 78.025 % DW. Baby biscuitS.platensisaddition was very potential application which average weight of mice in six week was 36.56 gram thanC.vulgarisand control biscuit. Overall data showed that crude extract protein ofS.platensismicroencapsulate was the best material as ingredients in baby biscuit.
