Developing Dried Starter of Proteolytic Bacteria and Its Combination with Cellulolytic Bacteria for Coffee Fermentation.

HELMA YOGA UTAMI. Developing Dried Starter of Proteolytic Bacteria and Its Combination with Cellulolytic Bacteria for Coffee Fermentation.
Supervised by ERLIZA NOOR

Utilization of isolated bacteria from civet feces for coffee fermentation is currently being developed. However, the bacterial isolates still require special treatment before ready to ferment the coffee. Therefore, this research was conducted to produce dry starter of bacteria isolates that easy to be applied. This research involved proteolytic bacteria and cellulolytic bacteria to support the fermentation. The purpose of this study was to obtain the best concentration of dry starter for fermentation of coffee beans to produce coffee which have equivalent quality to civet coffee. The concentration of dried starter added in the process of fermentation was 5%, 10%, and 15% with coffee beans and shell of coffee (grinded and sifted) as filler material. Based on total sugars, protein, and weight loss of liquid fermented, the best treatment is the addition of 15% dried starter with coffee shell as filler and being fermented in 2 days. Fermented coffee has influenced the decreasing of caffeine and oxalic acid as well as increasing levels of lactic and butyric acid. These results relatively showed that fermented coffee using dried starter has equivalent quality with civet coffee.

Key words : cellulolytic, civet coffee, dry starter, fermentation, proteolytic.
