This study investigates the effect of enzyme formulations (Zympex-014, Kemzyme dry-plus and Natuzyme) on recovery of phenolics from Peganum hermala (harmal) leaves, under optimized conditions using response surface methodology. As compared to the other enzyme complexes, the yield (34 g/100g) obtained through Zympex-014-assisted extraction was higher under optimized conditions such as time (75 min), temperature (70°C), pH (6.5) and enzyme concentration (5 g/100 g) using central composite design (CCD). Effectiveness of Zympex-014 towards hydrolysis of P. hermala leaves cell wall was examined by analyzing the control and enzyme-treated leave residues using scanning electron microscope (SEM). GC/MS characterization authenticated the presence of quercetin (1.44), gallic acid (0.23), caffeic acid (0.04), cinnamic acid (0.05), m-coumaric acid (0.23) and p-coumaric acid (0.37 μg/g) as the potent phenolics in Zympex-014 based extract. It can be concluded from the findings of the current work that pre-treatment of P. hermala leaves with Zympex-014 significantly enhanced the recovery of phenolics that supports its potential uses in the nutra-pharamaceutical industry.

The corundum-mullite was toughened by in-situ synthesized mullite whiskers and the process parameters influencing the fracture toughness of corundum-mullite, such as sintering temperature, addition amount of AlF3 and V2O5, were optimized by means of response surface method. Corundum-mullite with fracture toughness of 9.44 MPa.m-1/2 could be obtained under the optimized conditions, i.e. sintering temperature of 1400°C, 4.8 wt.% of AlF3 and 5.8 wt.% of V2O5. The results showed that it was feasible to prepare corundum-mullite toughened by in-situ synthesized mullite whiskers by the optimized parameters. In addition, an accurate model based on response surface method was proposed to predict the experimental results.

Indonesia has abundant ethanol biomass feedstocks. However the second-generation ethanol production process is still hampered by the unavailability of cellulase enzyme in the process of decomposition of lignocellulose into saccharides that can be processed into ethanol through fermentation. Cellulase is known as exozyme produced by Bacillus sp. in submerged fermentation. In this study, cellulase production by Bacillus sp. CC BPPT RK2 on natural and abundant agricultural waste substrates (rice bran and coconut water) was evaluated by investigating the optimum conditions for cellulase production in a 50 ml laboratory scale. Preliminary test using Luria Bentani (LB) medium with additional CMC (1%) were done to select optimum range of pH and Temperature. The preliminary tests results were then followed by optimization of pH and temperature, which were carried out using response surface methodology (RSM). RSM optimization model showed optimum values 6.23 for pH and 40.04 °C, with 14 terms (each with 1 degree of freedom), 4 linear effects, 6 interaction effects and 4 quadratic effects. These optimization by RSM results were slightly different compared to preliminary test, showing the effect of interactions between parameters. The characteristics of interaction among variables tested against the cellulase activity are reported in this study including: positive effects on cellulase activity of the resulting responses; negative interactions affecting the response of cellulase activity; synergistic interaction; and antagonistic interactions between each other.

The purpose of this work is to develop a pretreatment process of lingo-cellulosic ethanol production from narrow leaves cattail (Typha angustifolia) by using alkali catalysis with the response surface methodology (RSM) as a central composite design (CCD). The first step, LiOH, NaOH, and KOH were used as catalytic alkali for preliminary test. Second, the suitable alkali from first step was selected to optimize of pretreatment condition of three independent variables (alkali concentration, temperature, and residence time) that varies at CCD five codes (-2, -1, 0, 1, 2). Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is the proper alkali because it could increase cellulose more than KOH and nearby LiOH while it is cheapest. RSM result shows the optimized pretreatment condition based on cellulose increased which obtained from this study that is NaOH 5 % w/v at 100 °C and residence time for 120 min. Beside, this condition was analyzed using an ANOVA with a second order polynomial equation after eliminated non-significant terms. At the optimized conditions, cellulose increased, hemicellulose decreased and weight recovery were achieved 77.81%, 80.59, and 41.65%, respectively. Moreover, the model was reasonable to predict the response of strength with less than 5% error.
