Abstract:
Pineapple waste ((leather: Pineapple core: Waste pineapple pulp) can to be
processed into acetic acid using Kombucha mushroom starter. The research aimed to
analyzed the optimization of the use of the substrate, the starter and fermentation
time. Fermentation is use through variation of substrat and starter, so that obtained
the optimum of the use of the substrate is 50%, 45 grams of starter which are
fermentated with optimum time for 5 days, acetic acid content is determined by using
a High Performances Chromatografi Liquid (HPLC) with resulting 4.23%.
