Abstract

Penggunaan produk sampingan dan bahan buangan yang berasaskan minyak kelapa sawit adalah bertujuan untuk mengurangkan kos keseluruhan penghasilan polihidroksialkanoat (PHA). Dalam kajian ini, produk sampingan dari proses penulenan minyak kelapa sawit seperti minyak asid kelapa sawit (PAO), minyak asid isirong kelapa sawit (PKAO) dan distilat asid lemak kelapa sawit (PFAD) serta minyak masak terpakai (UCO) telah dinilai sebagai sumber karbon untuk penghasilan poli(3- hidroksibutirat) [P(3HB)] dan poli(3-hidroksibutirat-co-3-hidroksiheksanoat) [P(3HBco- 3HHx)] dengan menggunakan bakteria Cupriavidus necator H16 dan transformannya. The utilization of by-products and wastes from the palm oil industry is aimed to reduce the overall production cost of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA). In this study, palm oil refining by-products; palm acid oil (PAO), palm kernel acid oil (PKAO), palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD), and palm oil-based used cooking oil (UCO) were evaluated as the carbon substrate for poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] and poly(3- hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) [P(3HB-co-3HHx)] synthesis using Cupriavidus necator H16 and its transformant.
