Optimasi Produksi Inulinase oleh Khamir Pichia manshurica DUCC Y-015 pada Tepung Umbi Dahlia (Dahlia variabilis Willd.) dengan Variasi Konsentrasi K2HPO4 dan Waktu Inkubasi

Abstract

Sugar national supply more and more decreases and can not meet the market needs. The research has been done to find alternative natural sweeteners including inulin from dahlia tubers (D. variabilis Willd). Dahlia tuber can produce 95% of yield of fructose syrup in an enzimatic reaction by inulinase (E.C.3.2.1.7). Inulinase is inductive enzyme that can be produce by P. manshurica. The production of fructose needs to be optimized to get optimum product. The optimization can be done by modifying the nutrient content in the medium such as K₂HPO₄ and variation of incubation time. The purpose of this study is to determine the concentration of K₂HPO₄ and optimum incubation time for P. manshurica. This research was conducted in Microbiology Laboratory, Biology Department, Faculty of Science and Mathematics Undip. The examined variable is the growth of yeast cell, inulinase activity, invertase, and the I/S ratio. This research was conducted experimentally using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) factorial pattern with 2 factors, the first factor was the concentration of K₂HPO₄ (P), with concentration  level (g/L) of 0.5 (P₁), 1.0 (P₂), and 1.5 (P₃). The second factor was incubation time (W) with 12 hours (W₁₂), 18 hours (W₁₈), and 24 hours (W₂₄). Every treatment was repeated three times. The collected data were analyzed using ANOVA. If there was a treatment effect, it will be continued with Duncan test on 5% significance level. The result of analysis show that the highest cell growth and the maximum production of inulinase enzyme was in P₃W₂₄ occurs in P₃W₂₄ (K₂HPO₄ 1.5 g/L and 24 hours incubation time) treatment at 0.428 IU, but efficient in P₁W₁₂ treatment as much as 0.365 IU.
