Ferulic acid (FA) production has become a frequent focus on today’s research due to its antioxidant properties. Enzymatic hydrolysis stands as one of the most efficient method in producing FA. Bacteria and fungi proved to be crucial in enzymatic hydrolysis of FA as they possess the ability to release ferulic acid esterase (FAE). However, there has been little to none studies reported on the usage of mixed culture as inoculum. In this study, an appropriate mixed culture fermentation approach using oil palm frond bagasse (OPFB) as substrate was applied for FA production improvement.
