Summary
Nata is a bacteria cellulose produced by Acetobacter aceti ssp. xylinum through the fermentation of a fruit juice or plant extract. For example, 'nata de coco' is produced from the fermentation of coconut water and 'nata de pina' from the fermentation of pineapple juice. Nata has become very popular in Asian countries, such as the Philippines and Indonesia. Effects of various parameters on nata quality are investigated.
