Abstract

Cellulase has been widely used in many applications of industries and is commonly produced by a cellulase-producing-fungus using production substrates from agricultural wastes biomass. In the wet processing of the coffee, up to 63% of coffee pulp rich-cellulose has been released. This potential waste allows being used as a substrate for enzyme production. This study aims to produce cellulase using coffee pulp by Solid-State Fermentation from isolates of Aspergillus sp. VT12. A solid-state fermentation medium of coffee pulp was inoculated with Aspergillus sp. VT12 and incubated at 37 ℃ for 5 days, the culture produce a maximum cellulase activity of 0.52 U/ml against 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose substrate. For the purification step, the crude cellulase obtained was dialyzed on a cellulose tube membrane 12–14 kDa and then loaded into open column anion exchanger DEAE Cellulose DE-52 chromatography with NaCl gradient 0–0.6M used. In this step, the activity of purified cellulase obtained was 1.00 U/ml with a yield of 51.86%. For all steps of dialysis and cellulase measurement activity, including purification steps, the 20 mM acetate buffer pH 5 was used. This research revealed that the potential coffee pulp waste can be used as a substrate for cellulase production. However, in an economical view, production efficiency still needs to be optimized and the purity of the enzyme as well.
