Studying Nata de Coco Processing from Sugarcane Juice
Abstract
Nata de coco is coconut water fermented foods by the bacteria Acetobacter xylinum. This study used sugarcane juice to replace coconutwater medium in nata de coco processing. Sugarcane juice is cheaperand more popular than coconut water. The results show that diluted cane juice 2 times, add sugarreaches 9oBrix, the appropriate pH is 4.5 and the appropriate temperature is 3oC, fermentation time 10 days which can produce thick agar with a weight of 160 g/l.
