TL;DR: A two-step optimization procedure using central composite design with four factors (concentrations of maltrin and corn steep liquor, agitation speed and inoculation ratio) was used to investigate the effect of these parameters on the polygalacturonase (PG) enzyme activity, mycelia growth (biomass) and morphology (pellet size) of Aspergillus sojae ATCC 20235.

TL;DR: A. sojae ATCC 20235 with highest polymethylgalacturonase activity and highest polygalactonase activity both exo- and endo-enzyme activity, is a promising candidate for industrial pectinase production, a group of enzymes with high commercial value, in solid-state fermentation processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, an algorithm is developed for the simultaneous optimization of several response functions that depend on the same set of controllable variables and are adequately represented by polynomial regression models of the same degree.
Abstract: An algorithm is developed for the simultaneous optimization of several response functions that depend on the same set of controllable variables and are adequately represented by polynomial regression models of the same degree. The data are first checked for linear dependencies among the responses. If such dependencies exist, a basic set of responses among which no linear functional relationships exist is chosen and used in developing a function that measures the distance of the vector of estimated responses from the estimated “ideal” optimum. This distance function permits the user to account for the variances and covariances of the estimated responses and for the random error variation associated with the estimated ideal optimum. Suitable operating conditions for the simultaneous optimization of the responses are specified by minimizing the prescribed distance function over the experimental region. An extension of the optimization procedure to mixture experiments is also given and the method is illustrat...

TL;DR: Enzymes are currently used in fruit and vegetable juice production as mentioned in this paper to obtain partial or total liquefaction of the fruit flesh for the production of fruit pulps and nectars, and to increase juice yield and ameliorate extraction of other fruit components such as color and flavour.
Abstract: Enzymes are currently used in fruit (and vegetable) juice production (a) for mash treatment (i) to obtain a partial or total liquefaction of the fruit flesh for the production of fruit pulps and nectars, (ii) to increase juice yield and ameliorate extraction of other fruit components such as colour and flavour; (b) for juice treatment (i) to reduce its viscosity and enable concentration, (ii) for better clarification, filtration and stabilisation.
