This study demonstrates the degradation of alkaloids and alkylamides in Zanthoxylum bungeanum meal, suggesting lactic acid bacteria can enhance feed safety.
Key Points
Degradation rates for alkaloids reached 39.01% and for alkylamides 50.41%, demonstrating effective compound breakdown.
Optimal fermentation conditions included a temperature of 37 °C and pH 6.0 over 48 hours, influencing degradation success.
Analysis utilized t-test and one-way ANOVA, confirming significant differences in compound levels before and after fermentation.
This approach serves as an environmentally friendly method to convert ZBM into safe animal feed, though scale-up challenges remain.
