FERMENTASI Aspergilus sp UNTUK PENINGKATAN RENDEMEN DAN MUTU MINYAK ATSIRI LIMBAH INDUSTRI SIRUP KALAMANSI

Orange peel is one of byproduct from the kalamansi syrup industry. oil stored in gland skin (flavedo). contains cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin and other components. Degradation carried out by biological agents such as bacteria fungi can increase yield. This study aimed to determine effect fermentation time amount inoculum on yield orange oil. consisted two factors, namely length (2 days, 4 6 days) number inoculums (2.5%, 5%, 7.5%). The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA DMRT methods. results showed that had a significant no quality characteristics essential peel. highest was at days with an 7.5%.
