Production of Sorbitol from Meranti Wood Sawdust Using Solid State Fermentation (SSF) Process

The main objective of this research is to produce a high concentrations of sorbitol using solid state fermentation (SSF) of meranti wood dust by bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum (BAA 793; NCIMB 8826). Before the fermentation process, meranti wood dust has been treated through physical and chemical p...
