Synthesis of L-Lactic Acid from Fermentation of Cassava Pulp by Using Tempeh Inoculum
Keywords:
Cassava waste pulp, Lactic acid, Tempeh inoculum, R.S.M. Box-BehnkenAbstract
This study used cassava waste pulp as a fermentation substrate to produce lactic
acid using a tempeh inoculum. Tempeh inoculum is a mixed culture of Rhizopus with Rhizopus
oligosporus as the primary fungus. Lactic acid is an organic acid most widely used in the food,
pharmaceutical, cosmetic and chemical industries. One of the important uses of lactic acid is as a raw
material for producing Polylactic Acid (PLA) biopolymers, namely polymers that can decompose
naturally in a relatively fast time. The analysis was performed using the Response Surface
Methodology (RSM) method and the Box Behnken Design (BBD) experimental design with substrate
concentration parameters, inoculum concentration, and incubation time on lactic acid. The
fermentation process is carried out using a flask shaker at a temperature of 30 ºC, pH 6.0, and a
rotational speed of 150 rpm. The optimum yield for lactic acid is 6.65 g/L. It was acquired at substrate
20 g/L, inoculum concentration 0.30 % (w/v) at an incubation time of 72 hours.
