ABSTRACT

This study aims to determine feseability production bioethanol from lignocellulosic material using simulataneous saccharification and fermentation  (SSF) processes with Aspergillus niger dan Saccharomyces cereviciae. Three differents  lignocellulosic material namely sengon wood (Paraserianthes falcataria), gmelina wood (Gmelina sp.), pinus wood and (Pinus merkusii) were pretreated using kraft process to remove lignin content. Then, pulp treated using SSF processes. SSF runs were performed in 500 ml fermentors using a  total slurry 200 ml. The substrate and nutrient media were autoclaved (121 oC and 20 minutes). The samples diluted to 2,5% (w/v) of total slurry was used as substrate. The substrate was added with 10% (v/v) Aspegillus niger (6,5 x 107 CFU/cc) of total slurry and then inoculated with 10% (v/v) yeast Saccharomyces cereviciae (1,5 x 109 CFU/cc). The SSF experiments were run for 96 hours and the data were investigated periodically every 24 hours. The results showed that total of sugar and reducing sugar tended to decrease with time of inoculation whereas ethanol concentration increase significantly. The growth of Aspergillus niger and yeast Saccharomyces cereviciae tended to incease in initial inoculation and decrease by the end of inoculation. The bioethanol concentration on sengon, gmelina, and pinus were 0,53%; 0,45%; and 0,31% respectively and produced yields 6,02%; 5,15%, and 3,18% respectively.
