| Summary: | Essential oils have many benefits as well as essential oils from the spearmint
plant (Mentha spicata). Spearmint oil has been widely used for medicine and
cosmetic application as well as an additive for food products. One method to
improve the quality and quantity of spearmint oil is via lignocellulose
biodegradation using Aspergillus awamori prior to Soxhlet extraction. The quality
and quantity of spearmint oil recovery can be analyzed from several aspects such
as the spearmint oil composition and lignocellulose content in the leaves. In this
study, fermentation was carried out 0, 3, 6, and 9 days. The data obtained in this
research includes lignocellulose content (%) in spearmint leaves before and after
fermentation, spearmint oil yield (g / g dry weight) prior to fermentation and
extraction time, and composition of spearmint oil. The research was conducted
with two replications. The highest yield of spearmint oil was obtained after 9th day
of fermentation, 451% higher than the control. As spearmint oil yield is
increasing, it will be followed by a decrease in lignin, cellulose, and
hemicellulose content. The highest decrease of lignin and cellulose content was
found after 9th day of fermentation, 62.7% and 49.1% lowest decrease than the
control, respectively. However, the lowest decrease in hemicellulose content was
recorded on the 6th day fermentation with (34.38%) as compared to the control.
The composition of spearmint oil was influenced by drying, extraction and
fermentation conditions. The diffusion rate coefficient value of spearmint oil with
lignocellulose biodegradation was also determined as 3.64 x 10-11 cm2/s.
