Before the fermentation process, meranti wood dust has been treated through physical and chemical processes for the recovery of cellulose, followed by enzymatic hydrolysis process to produce glucose. The resulting glucose is then used as the carbon sources in fermentation to produce sorbitol. Parameters studied in sorbitol production using solid-state fermentation is fermentation time (2 hours to 14 hours), moisture content (40% to 90%) and temperature (25oC to 45oC). Method one factor at a time (OFAT) conducted on all parameters to determine an appropriate range before the response surface methodology (RSM) is implemented. From this study, the results showed that the optimum condition for the production of sorbitol is at 10 hours, with 50% moisture content and temperature of 35oC where the production of sorbitol is 29.0625g/L. Results of this experiment showed that SSF produce high sorbitol than SMF specialized Zuriana Sidi Ahmad Thesis (Master of Engineering (Bio-Process) -- Universiti Malaysia Pahang - 2013 Bibliography : p. 119-125 Solid-state fermentation Enzymes Industrial applications Statins (Cardiovascular agents) THE0004455(Local) http://ecollib.ump.edu.my/3866/ http://ecollib.ump.edu.my/3866/ UMP 140527 20251117113227.0 vtls000078678
