Abstract

Shallot peel microparticles have great potential as an additive in poultry chicken feed because they contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, polyphenols, and sulfur compounds with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. This research aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity and morphology of shallot peel microparticles through microscopic testing. The antioxidant activity was assessed using the IC₅₀ (Half-Maximal Inhibitory Concentration) method to determine the effectiveness of the extract in inhibiting free radicals or oxidation. Microscopic analysis was conducted using the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) method to examine and visualize the surface morphology of shallot peel microparticles at high resolution. The results of the laboratory analysis showed that shallot peel exhibited an antioxidant activity with an IC₅₀ value of 73.27 ppm, which was classified as strong. This high level of antioxidant activity played a role in protecting the body’s cells from damage caused by free radicals. The microscopic analysis revealed that the structure of shallot peel microparticles was non-fibrous and not dense, which was supported by a crude fiber content of 30.98%. he conclusion of this research is that shallot peel microparticles have the potential to serve as an alternative antibiotic for poultry to optimize productivity and health.
