ProbioticsÃÂ areÃÂ microbesÃÂ thatÃÂ areÃÂ aliveÃÂ andÃÂ beneficialÃÂ toÃÂ theirÃÂ hosts.ÃÂ SomeÃÂ probioticÃÂ bacteriaÃÂ areÃÂ LactobacillusÃÂ plantarumÃÂ andÃÂ LactobacillusÃÂ acidhopillus.ÃÂ TheÃÂ performanceÃÂ ofÃÂ theseÃÂ twoÃÂ bacteriaÃÂ willÃÂ beÃÂ optimalÃÂ ifÃÂ prebioticsÃÂ areÃÂ addedÃÂ asÃÂ aÃÂ sourceÃÂ ofÃÂ nutrition,ÃÂ namelyÃÂ kepokÃÂ bananaÃÂ (MusaÃÂ acuminataÃÂ ÃÂÃÂ balbisiana).ÃÂ TheÃÂ aimÃÂ ofÃÂ theÃÂ researchÃÂ wasÃÂ toÃÂ analyzeÃÂ theÃÂ comparativeÃÂ physicochemicalÃÂ andÃÂ microbiologicalÃÂ propertiesÃÂ ofÃÂ fermentedÃÂ goat'sÃÂ milkÃÂ usingÃÂ LactobacillusÃÂ plantarumÃÂ andÃÂ LactobacillusÃÂ acidhopillusÃÂ withÃÂ prebioticÃÂ kepokÃÂ bananaÃÂ pureeÃÂ (MusaÃÂ acuminataÃÂ ÃÂÃÂ balbisiana).ÃÂ TheÃÂ studyÃÂ usedÃÂ aÃÂ completelyÃÂ randomizedÃÂ designÃÂ withÃÂ aÃÂ factorialÃÂ pattern,ÃÂ factorÃÂ AÃÂ percentageÃÂ ofÃÂ kepokÃÂ bananaÃÂ pureeÃÂ P1=ÃÂ 5%ÃÂ kepokÃÂ bananaÃÂ puree,ÃÂ andÃÂ P2=ÃÂ 15%ÃÂ kepokÃÂ bananaÃÂ puree,ÃÂ factorÃÂ BÃÂ V1=ÃÂ LactobacillusÃÂ plantarumÃÂ (5%)ÃÂ andÃÂ V1=ÃÂ LactobacillusÃÂ acidhopillusÃÂ (ÃÂ 5%),ÃÂ doneÃÂ 3ÃÂ timesÃÂ repetition.ÃÂ TheÃÂ resultsÃÂ ofÃÂ theÃÂ researchÃÂ wereÃÂ thatÃÂ addingÃÂ 15% ÃÂ kepokÃÂ bananaÃÂ pureeÃÂ toÃÂ LactobacillusÃÂ plantarumÃÂ wasÃÂ betterÃÂ atÃÂ increasingÃÂ lacticÃÂ acidÃÂ levelsÃÂ andÃÂ bacterialÃÂ growthÃÂ inÃÂ theÃÂ TotalÃÂ PlateÃÂ Count,ÃÂ andÃÂ 15%ÃÂ kepokÃÂ bananaÃÂ pureeÃÂ toÃÂ LactobacillusÃÂ acidophilusÃÂ wasÃÂ betterÃÂ atÃÂ loweringÃÂ pH,ÃÂ increasingÃÂ proteinÃÂ levels,ÃÂ reducingÃÂ syneresisÃÂ andÃÂ increaseÃÂ theÃÂ viscosityÃÂ value.ÃÂ TheÃÂ conclusionÃÂ ofÃÂ thisÃÂ researchÃÂ isÃÂ thatÃÂ theÃÂ useÃÂ ofÃÂ 15%ÃÂ canÃÂ improveÃÂ theÃÂ performanceÃÂ ofÃÂ LactobacillusÃÂ plantarumÃÂ andÃÂ LactobacillusÃÂ acidhopillus,ÃÂ and ÃÂ inÃÂ generalÃÂ allÃÂ researchÃÂ parametersÃÂ areÃÂ stillÃÂ withinÃÂ theÃÂ IndonesianÃÂ NationalÃÂ StandardÃÂ range. These findings contribute to the advancement of food science and microbiology by demonstrating the potential of kepok banana puree in improving the quality of goat milk-based probiotic products.
