Effect of fermentation period on bacterial cellulose production from oil palm frond (OPF) juice

Effect of fermentation period on bacterial cellulose production from oil palm frond (OPF) juice

In this study, bacterial cellulose (BC) was produced by Acetobacter xylinum using oil palm frond (OPF) juice as a carbon source, where the effect of cultivation time in the range of 2-14 days on BC production was investigated. The highest BC production of 0.3365 g/L was obtained at cultivation time...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:In this study, bacterial cellulose (BC) was produced by Acetobacter xylinum using oil palm frond (OPF) juice as a carbon source, where the effect of cultivation time in the range of 2-14 days on BC production was investigated. The highest BC production of 0.3365 g/L was obtained at cultivation time of 9 days. Structural analysis by FTIR showed that the properties of BC to be similar regardless of cultivation time. FESEM analysis revealed that the BC produced was composed of randomly packed and loosely fine cellulose fibers. The present study showed the feasibility of using OPF juice as an alternative in the production of BC which could reduce the production cost of BC.
