| Summary: | Cassava is a root crop which is widely utilized as an alternative source of
carbohydrate. Cassava is known for its highly effective in harvesting solar energy for
its growth and in producing tuber with a high starch content, and productivity between
40 up to 60 tonnes/ha/year. The high starch content in the cassava tuber own its
potential to be used as raw material for bioethanol production. Bioethanol is a
byproduct of glucose fermentation by microbe in anaerobic condition. Bioconversion
of starch to glucose was conducted by using fungi microorganism which is able to
produce glucoamylase enzyme. In order to produce ethanol, it requires microorganism
that have the anaerobic metabolic pathway. Fermentation was carried out using a
solid-state method where the saccharification of starch to glucose and the conversion
process of glucose to ethanol proceeds simultaneously. The objective of this research
is to identify the effect of yeast inoculation time variation to the concentration of
glucose and ethanol, as well as to identify the productivity profile of glucose and
ethanol that is produced. Microorganisms used are Aspergillus awamori for the
saccharification of starch dan Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the conversion of glucose
to ethanol. The glucose concentration that has been obtained is relatively small, which
is about 0,024 g/L to 0,083 g/L by variations in yeast inoculation time at 24 hours after
the addition of fungal spore extract. For variations of inoculation time at 0 and 48
hours, the glucose concentration cannot be recorded due its very low concentration.
The highest ethanol concentration of 44,1 g/L is obtained from variation in addition of
yeast inoculum at 48 hours. The highest productivity of 0,92 g/L/hour is obtained on
the control at first day of fermentation. |
