Abstract

Nata is a bacterial cellulose obtained from the fermentation of Acetobacter xylinum. It is often found in desserts as a health supplement because of its high fiber content. It is not only produced from coconut water, known as nata-de-coco but can also be produced from other sources, such as wastewater from rice washing, called nata-de-leri. This study aimed to optimize the parameters of bacterial cellulose (nata-de-leri) fermentation by statistical methods to improve production. First, the Placket-Burman Screening Design was applied to address the essential parameter components affecting nata-de-leri production. Eight factors are continuously checked, and unimportant elements are removed to obtain a smaller, more manageable set of characteristics. Second, a feedback surface method using Central Composite Design (CCD) was used to determine the optimal level of fermentation parameters using yield response. The results of this study show that sucrose concentration, CO(NH2)2 concentration, inoculum concentration and fermentation time are believed to be the main factors for nata production. The estimated optimal values nata-de-leri production when using 500 ml of rince washing wastewater are as follows: sucrose is 17.5 g; CO(NH2)2 is 12 g; volume of starter is 60 ml; fermentation time for 12 days. This results in a yield of 97.20%. From this study, the optimum yield in nata-de-leri is 20% larger than the baseline parameters

Abstract

Mocaf (Modified Cassava Flour) is a modified cassava flour made through a fermentation process using microbes. One of the microbes that can be used for mocaf fermentation is Acetobacter xylinum . In this research, cassava tubers were fermented into mocaf flour with the help of a starter of Acetobacter xylinum bacteria. This research was conducted to determine the effect of starter A. xylinum's concentration and fermentation time on the characteristics of mocaf flour. The research method used OFAT (One Factor at A Time). The research consists of the making flour process (sorting, stripping, washing, slicing, fermentation, drying, milling, and sifting) and analyzing samples. The variations of starter A. xylinum concentration used were 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%. While the variations of fermentation time were 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, 60 hours, and 72 hours. The Parameters analyzed were % mass, moisture content, ash content, acid level, HCN content, and crude fiber content. The results showed that the starter concentration and fermentation time affected the percent mass (P-value <0.05). The mocaf flour that passes SNI is fermented cassava with a starter concentration of 15-25% and a fermentation time of 48-72 hours.
