| Summary: | Lactic acid (LA) is commercially produced biologically using food-derived raw materials
such as potato and corn. It seems to be less economical since they have to compete with the food
sources industries. Thus, kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) is found to be the best alternative to
substitute the raw material for LA production. In this paper, kenaf core were used as the substrate
for production of LA by Rhizopus oryzae FTCC 5215. Since kenaf is one type of lignocellulosic
material which is naturally resistant to breakdown to its structural sugars, it will inhibit
microorganisms to be accessed through. Thus, hydrolysis process is needed as the aid for the
liberation glucose. The highest value of lactic acid produced is 15.2 g/L at 25 oC with speed 200
rpm. |
