Liquid sugar is a sweetener that is widely used in the food industry. Apart from starch, liquid sugar can be produced from cellulose hydrolysis by using cellulase enzymes. This study aims to obtain the best concentration of cellulase enzymes in the production of cellulose liquid sugar in the skin of red dragon fruit. The production of liquid sugar uses the method of hydrolysing enzymes of different concentrations (1%,2%,3%). The results showed that there was no significant influence on the characteristics of liquid sugars resulting from the addition of three different enzyme concentrations. The observed characteristics are total sugar content, water, ash content, viscosity and color. Enzyme concentration of 3% is the best liquid sugar based on observations of total sugar content and color.
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.
