Abstract
This study aimed to develop probiotic jackfruit granules by blending Artocarpus heterophyllus pulp (JP) with Lactobacillus casei using wet granulation technology. The purpose was to create a novel functional food product leveraging jackfruit as a raw material. JP was treated with 0.5 % ascorbic acid at 95 °C for 3 min to reduce polyphenol oxidase activity, yielding an acceptable color, followed by pectinase enzyme (0.75 %) treatment to produce jackfruit purée. Optimal granule formulation was achieved with 35 % jackfruit purée, a 50:50 blend of roasted wheat flour and saccharose, and 1.5 % magnesium stearate, resulting in a probiotic count of 7.29 ± 0.03 logCFU/g dry weight. These findings demonstrate the potential of probiotic jackfruit granules as a multi-functional food product, offering a scalable approach to utilize jackfruit in health-promoting goods. This research contributes to sustainable food innovation, enhancing societal benefits through improved nutrition and value-added agricultural products.
