Abstract In order to improve the viable counts of Bifidobacterium bifidum BB01 in the liquid medium, the Central Composite Design (CCD) was used to optimize the nitrogen source in the medium of B. bifidum BB01. The results showed that the nitrogen source composition of B. bifidum BB01 was: peptone 0.9%, yeast extracts 0.3%, beef paste 0.7%. Under the optimal conditions, the viable counts of B. bifidum BB01 reached (2.49±0.06)×109CFU/mL after cultured at 18h, which was 42.97% higher than MRS (lactose), and 12.85% higher than the optimized MRS medium (carbon source and prebiotics were optimized). Therefore, the CCD used in this study is workable for promoting the growth of B. bifidum BB01.

Abstract The objective of the present study was to obtain the optimum proportion of the carbon source and prebiotics for Bifidobacterium bifidum BB01 by the central composite design (CCD). The effect of carbon source (lactose) and two prebiotics (inulin and fructooligosaccharides) on the BB01 were observed by measuring the OD600 value, pH value and the viable counts at 18h. The final optimized concentrations of carbon source and prebiotics were: lactose 1.6%, inulin 0.26%, and fructooligosaccharides 0.22%. The result indicates that the growth of B. bifidum BB01 shows an significant increase in the optimized culture medium (p < 0.05), the OD600 value reached 1.434 at 18h, which increased 6.58% compared to the control. And the viable counts of B. bifidum BB01 increased 24.36% and reached (2.17±0.06) ×109cfu/mL. The results show that the optimization of the carbon source and prebiotics using CCD in this study is workable and necessary.

A mixture of wheat bran with maize bran as a carbon source and addition of (NH4)SO4 as nitrogen source was found to significantly increase production of feruloyl esterase (FAE) enzyme compared with wheat bran as a sole carbon and nitrogen source. The optimal conditions in conical flasks were carbon source (30 g) to water 1 : 1, maize bran to wheat bran 1 : 2, (NH4)SO4 1.2 g and MgSO4 70 mg. Under these conditions, FAE activity was 7.68 mU/g. The FAE activity on the mixed carbon sources showed, high activity against the plant cell walls contained in the cultures.

The objective of this research was to obtain optimum condition of eugenol production from clove oil using a central composite design method. The main process occured in the eugenol production was saphonification and neutralization processes. In order to optimize these processes, the ratio of NaOH/clove oil and temperature were studied as design variables i.e. ratio of NaOH/clove oil=1:2.5-1:3.5 while temperature was varied between 40 and 60oC. The yield of eugenol was considered as the main response in of this experiment. The result showed that the optimum condition was achieved when the temperature and the ratio of NaOH/clove oil were 50oC and 2.75:1, respectively and the yield was 39.17%.<br />

Biodiesel merupakan sumber bahan bakar alternatif yang bisa dihasilkan dari minyak nabati melalui transesterifikasi dengan metanol. Sawit Off-grade merupakan salah satu sumber minyak nabati yang mempunyai potensi untuk digunakan sebagai bahan dasar produksi biodiesel. Reaksi transesterifikasi dilangsungkan dengan bantuan katalis CaO dari cangkang telur yang dikalsinasi pada suhu 900ºC selama 2 jam. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memproduksi biodiesel dari minyak sawit off-grade melalui reaksi dua-tahap, melihat performa katalis Cao terhadap reaksi transesterifikasi, serta mempelajari pengaruh temperatur reaksi, rasio mol minyak:metanol dan konsentrasi katalis terhadap yield biodiesel pada reaksi transesterifikasi. Esterifikasi dilakukan pada suhu 60°C dengan perbandingan mol minyak:metanol 1:12 menggunakan 1%wt katalis H2SO4. Asam lemak bebas (ALB) tereduksi dari 16,18% menjadi 0,6%. Reaksi transesterifikasi dilakukan dengan variasi perbandingan mol minyak:metanol 1:7, 1:9, 1:11, konsentrasi katalis 2%wt, 4%wt, 6%wt, serta suhu reaksi pada 50ºC, 60ºC, 70ºC selama 2 jam. Data yang diperoleh diproses dengan menggunakan response surface methodology (RSM), sedangkan jumlah eksperimen ditentukan dengan central composite design (CCD). Yield yang diperoleh pada penelitian ini yaitu sebanyak 62,30%-87,41%. Yield optimum dihasilkan pada reaksi dengan suhu 70ºC menggunakan minyak:metanol dengan perbandingan 1:11 dan katalis CaO 2%wt. Kondisi proses yang berpengaruh terhadap yield biodiesel adalah suhu reaksi, perbandingan mol minyak:metanol, serta interaksi antara suhu dengan perbandingan mol minyak:metanol. Akan tetapi tidak ditemukan adanya pengaruh signifikan konsentrasi katalis terhadap yield biodiesel.

Selama kegiatan transportasi buah tomat dapat mengalami kerusakan akibat adanya frekuensi getaran yang berasal dari mesin transportasi dan juga lama waktu kegiatan transportasi. Adanya getaran selama proses transportasi buah tomat dapat mempengaruhi perubahan tekstur buah tomat. Optimasi dilakukan dalam penelitian ini dengan tujuan untuk memperoleh mutu buah tomat yang optimal setelah dilakukan simulasi transportasi. Optimasi dilakukan dengan menggunakan Response Surface Methodology (RSM) central composite design (CCD) dengan dua variabel bebas yaitu frekuensi getaran (3 Hz, 6HZ, dan 9Hz) dan lama waktu penggetaran (120, 150, dan 180 menit) serta tekstur buah tomat sebagai respon. Kondisi optimum diperoleh pada frekuensi getaran  2,33 Hz dan waktu simulasi transportasi 133,42 menit dengan nilai tekstur optimum buah tomat yaitu 0,147768 dengan nilai desirability sebesar 0,928.

A central composite design was employed to optimize the extraction of pectin from Nephrolepis biserrata leaves. The independent variables were pH (1.5 to 2.5), extraction time (60 to 120 minutes) and temperature (60oC to 100oC). The combined effect of these variables on yields of pectin was investigated. The results showed that the yield of extracted pectin ranged from 3.76% to 8.50% (w/w, based on dry weight of Nephrolepis biserrata leaves). The optimum condition for the yield of pectin extraction was predicted at pH (1.5), extraction time (76.25 minutes) and temperature (100oC). Under the optimum condition, the actual pectin yield was 8.18%, which was below the predicted extraction condition of 8.316 %. The characteristics were 47.52% galacturonic acid and 83.71% degree of esterification. Keyword: Nephrolepis biserrata leaves, Extraction, Pectin, RSM, Characterization.
