Kandungan Fraksi Serat Pelepah Sawit Hasil Biodelignifikasi Menggunakan Kapang Phanerochaete chrysosporium dengan Penambahan Mineral Ca dan Mn

Abstract

The study was aimed at evaluating the effects of calcium and manganese addition during frond biodelignification by Phanerochaete chrysosporium to the content of fiber fractions of Palm Limb. The Completely Randomized Design was used comparing two factors as treatments and each treatment was repeated two times. The factors were Ca dose (1.000, 2.000 and 3.000 ppm) and Mn dose (50, 100 and 150 ppm). The fermentation process carried out within 10 days. Measured variables were the content of NDF, ADF, hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin. The results indicated that the was an interaction between minerals Ca and Mn affecting the content of NDF, cellulose and lignin. The addition of 2.000 ppm Ca and 150 ppm Mn during oil palm frond biodelignification by Phanerochaete chrysosporium resulted in the best option due to its lowest lignin content production (22.4%).
