Industrial waste-water has become a serious problem nationwide. However, one type of waste-water, i.e. tofu waste-water (whey), can be utilized as the source of nata de soya production. This present research is attempts to reveal the effect of various concentrations of inocula and green-bean extracts on nata productions from tofu waste-water. Ten combinations of treatment were applied and coded as A1 – A10. The parameters observed included physical and chemical characters of nata and nitrogen (N) contents. The results show that the increase in concentration of N and inocula will follow by the increase of water content, fiber content, plasticity, and N content of nata de soya produced. Highest thickness of nata was gained at 200 g/L concentration of green-bean extract and 100 ml/L concentration of inoculum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
