ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Bekatul merupakan salah satu produk pertanian Indonesia yang kaya akan zat bioaktif, terutama senyawa fenolik dan fitokimia. Senyawa fenolik sulit diekstraksi karena seratnya tidak larut air. Salah satu cara untuk mengekstraksinya yaitu dengan fermentasi. Yogurt merupakan salah satu produk fermentasi Adanya penambahan bekatul ke dalam yogurt dapat meningkatkan efek fungsionalnya, tidak hanya efek kesehatan saluran cerna, tetapi juga efek antioksidatifnya. Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui pengaruh proses fermentasi terhadap aktivitas antioksidan dan total fenol yogurt dengan adanya penambahan bekatul. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap. Ada 4 formula yogurt yang berbeda pada jumlah bekatul yang ditambahkan, antara lain: 0%, 5%, 10%, dan 15%. Total fenol dianalisis menggunakan metode Follin-Ciocalteu dan aktivitas antioksidan dianalisis dengan metode DPPH. Data kemudian dianalisis statistika menggunakan one-way ANOVA dan dilanjutkan dengan uji beda nyata Duncan. Hasil: Penambahan bekatul pada konsentrasi yang lebih tinggi memengaruhi persentase total fenol yang makin tinggi juga, antara lain 0,03A0,00. 0,04A0,00. 0,06A0,00. dan 0,07A0,00% untuk penambahan konsentasi bekatul 0, 5, 10, dan 15%. Aktivitas antioksidan juga meningkat secara signifikan dari 25,77A0,14% untuk sampel tanpa penambahan bekatul menjadi 47,43A0,29% untuk sampel dengan penambahan bekatul 15%. Kesimpulan: Penambahan bekatul memiliki efek yang signifikan terhadap peningkatan total fenol dan aktivitas antioksidan yogurt. KATA KUNCI: bekatul, yogurt, aktivitas antioksidan, total phenol ABSTRACT Background: Rice bran is one of Indonesia agricultural product that is high in bioactives, especially phenolic and phytochemical compounds. Phenolic compunds are difficult to extract because the fiber can not solute in An alternative way to extract is by fermentation. Yogurt is one of dairy fermentation product. The addition of rice bran into the yogurt will improve its functional effect, not only provides the gastrointestinal health effects but also antioxidant activity. Objectives: To investigate the influence of fermentation process on the antioxidant activity and total phenol of yogurt with the addition of rice bran. Methods: This was an experimental study using completely randomized design. There were 4 formulation of yogurts with different amount of rice bran, i. 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%. Total phenol was measured by FollinCiocalteu methods and the antioxidant activity was analyzed by DPPH. Data were analyzed statistically by one-way ANOVA and continued to DuncanAos multiple range test. Results: The addition of rice bran in higher concentration showed higher percentage of total phenol, those 03A0. 04A0. 06A0. 07A0. 00 respectively for the addition of 0, 5, 10, and 15% of rice The antioxidant activities were also increased significantly from 25. 77A0. 14% for sample without rice bran to 47. 43A0. 29% for sample with the addition of 15% rice bran. Conclusions: The addition of rice bran gave the significant effect on total phenol and antioxidant activity of KEYWORDS: rice bran, yogurt, antioxidant activity, total phenol Olvi Ariyani.

Vol 7 No. 2, 2019: 37-40 INTRODUCTION MATERIALS AND METHODS The availability of rice bran in Indonesia is The data showed that in 2009, total rice production was about 64. 3 million tons/year and it increased to 66. 8 million tons/year in 2010. Along with the increased in production of rice, the bran could also reached 5. 7 million tons/year . In 2011, the rice production reached 65. 76 million tons/year. If the process of rice milling produced 8% of bran, the bran could reach 5. 2 million tons . Rice bran is a rice milling by-product that is usually discarded and not consumed by human. has been used as animal feed. The previous study was proved that rice bran has functional activity such as reducing the incidence of diabetes mellitus . Because of the good effect to the body and health, rice bran has been used as the human food. However, the uses are still limited. It needs more exploration about diversification, modification, or technology for widely use of the rice bran . Rice bran has potential antioxidant activity, especially from its phenolic and phytochemical compounds such as tocopherol, tocotrienol, oryzanol and other antioxidant compounds . Most of them could be found in outer layer of rice bran. Among them, more than 1% of phenolic antioxidants was covalently binded with insoluble fibers so their bioavailability become low . The hydrolization that was done by microbes through fermentation may assist the release of phenolic compounds . Yogurt is one of favors milk product fermented by lactic acid bacteria . It has good health effects such as preventing diarrhea and boosting the immune Enough consume of probiotic drinks may resist to gastric acid, bile salts and inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the body . The addition of antioxidant compounds that may be sourced from rice bran to the yogurt is an alternative way to improve the health function of the product. It may also give the new flavors of yogurt, beside fruit variants that usually used in commercial product. It needs more study to prove the addition of health function, especially antioxidant activity of yogurt added with rice bran. This study aimed to investigate the influence of fermentation process on total phenol and antioxidant activity of yogurt with the addition of rice bran. Rice bran was obtained from one of the milling factory in Bantul. Yogyakarta. Indonesia. The bran was then brought to the laboratory for sieving with the mesh size of 60, and sterilized before added to the yogurt. Yogurt was prepared by mixing skim milk. UHT milk, and rice bran. They were then stirred and pasteurized at 80-90AC for 10 minutes. Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophillus were inoculated into the mix substance and incubated for 18 hours at 37AC. The samples were devided into 4 formulations of yogurt with different amount of rice bran, i. 5%, 10%, and 15%. Rice bran was substituted to UHT milk. Total phenol was measured by FollinCiocalteu methods and the antioxidant activity was analyzed by DPPH . Data were then analyzed statistically by one-way ANOVA and continued to DuncanAos multiple range test. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS Total phenolic compound in rice bran yogurt Table 1 showed the total phenolic compound in yogurt with the addition of rice bran. Table 1. Total phenolic compound in rice bran Amount of rice bran added (%) Total phenolic compound (%) 03A0. 04A0. 06A0. 07A0. *Different superscript in the same coloumn showed significantly different . <0. Table 1 showed that native yogurt . % substitute. had the lowest total phenol, but the substitution of 15% rice bran had the highest total The statitical analysis proved that substitution of milk with rice bran affected phenol content in the sample . <0,. The higher the addition of rice bran, the higher the phenol detected in the samples. Rice bran is popular for its high natural antioxidant components, such as tocopherol, tocotrienol, oryzanol, phenolic compound, and anthocyanin . , . Based Total phenol and antioxidant activities of rice bran yoghurt on the data, it can be known that native yogurt had 03% of total phenol. In the rice bran, there was also 22% of total phenol. The addition of rice bran that was high in total phenol was contributed on the higher value of total phenol than that was in the native. This result is similar with previous study that found the increase of phenol content after the addition of rice bran to the fermented milk with L. plantarum and L. acidophilus as starter . Antioxidant activity CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Rice bran has been used as food that is high in total phenol. The addition of rice bran to the yogurt has significantly effect on the total phenol and antioxidant activity, especially in scavenging of free However, it still needs more study about other application of rice bran in foods and also more exploration about it functional activity, especially to the human health.
