The nutrient quality of edamame (Glycine max L. Merill) waste as a potential local feedstuff with using the different drying processes

This study purposed to evaluate the effect of both different drying processes on the nutrient content of edamame waste ( Glycine max L. Merill). The level treatment of the drying process was divided into sun drying or control (P0) and oven drying at 70°C (P1). Every single level treatment has been dried for 48 hours. The variables observed were DM, CP, EE, and CF content of edamame waste. The results presented that the drying process had no significant effect on DM, CP, EE, and CF content of edamame waste by both sun drying and oven drying at 70°C. These results concluded that both drying process of edamame waste were very applicable for smallholder farmers and livestock industries. Smallholder farmers can apply sun drying processes for drying and preserving edamame waste without worrying about nutritional damage and used during times of famine, especially which were in tropical region. Additionally, livestock industries can exploit the nutritional value of edamame waste using thermal processing up to 70°C by example through oven drying.
