TL;DR: In this paper, five sources of nitrogen, six minerals, six enzyme inducers and one each of growth as well as product promotors were screened by Plackett-Burman design, consisting of a total of 20 experiments for the above 19 sources/categories of medium ingredients, for their effect on the production of Aspergillus niger MRSS 234 in solid state fermentation system.

TL;DR: The estimation of total capsaicinoids by any simple, reliable method is shown to be adequate for quality control of pungency of Capsicum fruits.

TL;DR: The results indicated that inoculum level was very important in lipid production, followed by carbon and nitrogen levels, and at higher levels of inoculum, the strain was found to be more tolerant to higher concentrations of sugar, and significantly increased lipid production was noticed.

TL;DR: A significant improvement in the ethanol yield was demonstrated, resulting in very low residual sugar and fewer by-products, and the five-factor and five-response full factorial design have shown that glucose and yeast extract are the key media components that influence ethanol production, followed by the inoculum concentration and ammonium sulfate.

TL;DR: In this article, mechanical characteristics of tomatoes of two varieties (Pusa Ruby and Vashali hybrid) were studied at various stages of ripening by whole fruit tests on anInstron Universal Testing Machine, Model 1 140.
