A.1511068. Sensory Quality of Eggs of Quails Given Bitter Melon Fruit Extract through Drinking Water. Under immediate supervision of Anggraeni and Ristika Handarini. Bitter melon (Momordica charantia) is a vine plant having oblong-shaped fruits with distinct warty exterior and bitter taste. The fruits contain B-carotene pigment which gives effect on yolk color. This study was aimed at assessing (hedonic and hedonic quality tests) the sensory quality of eggs of quails given bitter melon fruit extract through drinking water. The study was conducted at the Trial Farm of Department of Animal Science, Djuanda University, Bogor, in February to March 2019. One-hundred female quails aged 30 days and ready for their production phase were used. The birds were fed with commercial feed containing 20-22% crude protein (CP). A completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 4 replicates was used. Treatments consisted of 0% bitter melon fruit extract (R0, control), 2.5% bitter melon fruit extract + 97.5% water (R1), 5.0% bitter melon fruit extract + 95% water (R2), 7.5% bitter melon fruit extract + 92.5% water (R3), and 10.0% bitter melon fruit extract + 90% water (R4). Data were subjected to a Kruskal Wallis test. Measurements were taken on albumin color, yolk color, aroma, taste, and texture of eggs. Results of hedonic test showed that bitter melon fruit extract gave significant effects (P<0.05) on albumin color, yolk color, but not (P>0.05) on aroma, taste, and texture. Results of quality hedonic test gave significant effects (P<0.05) on albumin color, yolk color, aroma, taste, and texture. Eggs with the best sensory quality were produced by quails given drinking water containing 7.5% bitter melon fruit extract. Key words: quail egg sensory quality, quail, bitter melon fruit extract} }
