Abstract Overripe canistel fruit was generally consumed and not yet widely utilized. The objective of this research was to study and determine the optimum formulation for water, egg albumin, and maltodextrin concentration in making canistel powder using the foam-mat drying method. Optimization was conducted by Response Surface Methodology (RSM) simple mixture of Design-Expert 7.0 software. The formulas used in this study were water of 50-55%, egg albumin of 15-20%, maltodextrin of 5-10% with a total of 75%, and overripe canistel fruit of 25%. The responses of yield, moisture, and beta carotene concentration were analyzed. The results showed that the higher the maltodextrin and the egg albumin concentration led to the higher the powder yield. The use of maltodextrin decreased moisture content and beta carotene concentration of canistel powder, while egg albumin increased them. In addition, the optimum solution was water of 50.00%, egg albumin of 16.88%, maltodextrin of 8.12%, and overripe canistel of 25%, which resulted in a yield of 54.90%, moisture content of 7.07%, and beta carotene of 2.65 mg.kg-1. Validation of the optimum solution was a yield of 61.20%, moisture content of 7.09%, and beta carotene of 0.63 mg.kg-1, which were within the 95% prediction interval low and high.

Pelletization is a significant approach for the efficient utilization of biomass energy. Sunflower seed husk is a common solid waste in the process of oil production. The novelty of this study was to determine the parameters during production of a novel pellet made from sunflower seed husk. The energy consumption (W) and physical properties (bulk density (BD) and mechanical durability (DU)) of the novel pellet were evaluated and optimized at the laboratory by using a pelletizer and response surface methodology (RSM) under a controlled moisture content (4%–14%), compression pressure (100–200 MPa), and die temperature (70–170 °C). The results show that the variables of temperature, pressure, and moisture content of raw material are positively correlated with BD and DU. Increasing the temperature and moisture content of raw materials can effectively reduce W, while increasing the pressure has an adverse effect on W. The optimum conditions of temperature (150 °C), pressure (180 MPa), and moisture content (12%) led to a BD of 1117.44 kg/m3, DU of 98.8%, and W of 25.3 kJ/kg in the lab. Overall, although the nitrogen content was slightly high, the novel manufactured pellets had excellent performance based on ISO 17225 (International Organization for Standardization of 17225, Geneva, Switzerland, 2016). Thus, sunflower seed husk could be considered as a potential feedstock for biomass pelletization.

The instantaneous controlled pressure drop process (or D.I.C process: ``Détente Instantanée Contrôlée") was used as a pre-treatment prior to pectin acid extraction from orange peel. This process involves subjecting the orange peel for a short time to steam pressure varying from 100 to 700 kPa, followed by an instantaneous decompression to vacuum at 5 kPa. Effects of processing pressure, moisture content of peels before the thermomechanical treatment and processing time were examined with response surface methodology. The optimal conditions were determined and the response surfaces were plotted from the mathematical models. The Fisher test and p-value indicated that both processing pressure and moisture content of peels before the pre-treatment had a highly significant effect on the pectin yield. The quadratic effect of processing pressure as well as the interaction effects of the initial moisture content and processing time also had a significant effect on the response. Moreover, the kinetics of pectin extraction showed that after few minutes of hydrolysis, the yields of pectin were systematically higher than that of the control sample and this is important from industrial point of view because the hydrolysis of pectin is generally performed in 10-15 minutes.

The red gypsum (RG) is a waste, industrial by product, can be potentially used for brick manufacturing. In the current study, the manufacturing of bricks using RG, sand and cement was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). The water/cement (w/c) ratio and sand replacement were varied for an optimum compressive strength and water absorption properties of the cement. From the analysis, the average compressive strength of conventional cement brick (CCB) tested was 10.9 MPa. Based on the optimum solution from the RSM analysis, possible cost prediction was estimated which can provide some valuable information to the manufacturer.

Until now, the patchouli oil is the largest commodity export of essential oil for Indonesia. But the price of patchouli oil is often unstable due to the quality of oil which fluctuates depending on the components. To improve the performance and quality of patchouli oil had been carried out the purification process using supercritical CO2 fluid extraction method. Optimization conditions of the extraction process using the approach of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and the influence of independent variables include temperature (35–45 °C), pressure (80–150 atm) and the time of extraction (60–300 min), and then evaluated using a Box-Behnken Design (BBD). Analysis of the components in the extract was carried out by using GC-MS and GC-FID to detect the changes of compositions of the components containing the oil before and after the extraction process. The optimum condition of supercritical extraction within experimental range of the studied variables was at 38 °C, 146.35 atm and 74 min for predicted oil yield of 6.41% and at 41.45 °C, 135.17 atm and 252.62 min and the predicted patchouli alcohol content was 25.34%. The extracted oil is enriched with the main components such as patchouli alcohol compared to the original patchouli oil. The results of RSM evaluation showed consistency between the variables contained in the experiment and the prediction.

To enhance further treatment efficiency of the sludge, a process microwave drying of sludge was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). A quadratic polynomial mathematical model was developed through Box-Behnken experimental design to describe the relationship between tested variables and moisture content of sludge. The experimental values were found to be in accordance with the predicted values, the correlation coefficient is 0.9203(P < 0.001). Estimated optimum parameters were as follows: The sludge: tree bark is 58:1, microwave power is 630w and processing time is 5.32 minutes. Under these conditions, a lowest moisture content of sludge (49.12%) after microwave drying was reached.
