Abstract D-arabitol is an important functional sugar alcohol, which can be used in the preparation of foods, chemicals, and medicines. Despite biological production of D-arabitol from low-cost substrates has recently been the focus of research, low yield of this technology has limited its large-scale exploitation. Optimization of this bioprocess could be a promising option to improve the yield of D-arabitol. In this study, one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) strategy and Box-Behnken design (BBD) were used to increase D-arabitol production by Metschnikowia reukaufii CICC 31858 through optimizing the fermentation conditions and medium composition. The OFAT optimization provided the optimal conditions for temperature, agitation speed, and fermentation time of 30℃, 220 rpm, and 144 h, respectively. Likewise, the optimum concentrations of peptone, ammonium sulfate, KH2PO4, MgSO4·7H2O, and fumaric acid in the fermentation medium were (g/L) 7.5, 1, 2 , 0.5 and 7.5, respectively. Under these optimum conditions, 80.43 g/L of D-arabitol was produced from 200 g/L of glucose, with a productivity of 0.56 g/L/h. The BBD optimization with three important components of fermentation medium (KH2PO4, MgSO4·7H2O and fumaric acid) showed that the predicted titer of D-arabitol varied from 47.21 g/L to 89.27 g/L, and the actual titer of D-arabitol ranged from 47.36 to 89.83 g/L. The optimum concentrations (g/L) of KH2PO4, MgSO4·7H2O, and fumaric acid in the fermentation medium were found to be 1.0, 0.5, and 4.7g/L, respectively. Under the optimum conditions, 92.45 g/L of D-arabitol was finally produced with the yield and productivity of 0.46 g/g and 0.64 g/L/h, respectively.

There is an increasing interest in improving biological processes, including fermentation processes, improving fermentation conditions is difficult, as it requires the use of an appropriate improvement method that allows operating the biological fermenter under optimal conditions in order to obtain the largest possible amount of the final product. The aim of this work was to succeed in examples of fermentation conditions to produce the largest possible quantity of dry yeast biomass Saccharomyces cerevisiae using grape juice as the sole carbon source. The optimum values of five factors that have an effect on the production of dry biomass from baker`s yeast were determined. The design of the experiments was carried out using the central composite experimental design (CCD) and the number of experiments according to the design was (54) experiments, the response surface methodology method was used to determine the best possible amount of production of yeast, and has reached (41.44 g/L) after 12 hours of fermentation, under the following optimal conditions (temperature (30.11??), pH (4.75), sugar concentration (158.36 g/L), the ratio of carbon to nitrogen (an essential nutrient for yeast growth ) is (11.9), initial concentration of yeasts (2.5 g/L), the amount of urea was 6.65 g/L and the amount of ammonium sulfate used was 6.65 g/L, so that the concentration of added urea and ammonium sulfate was (50-50)% and the required C/N ratio was achieved, and the used agitation speed was equal to 200 r.p.m during the fermentation process. The fermenter power of the obtained yeast was 470 ml. Three kinematic models (Monod, Verhulst, and Tessier) were also selected for the purpose of studying the kinetic performance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. Monod and Tessier`s models did not give satisfactory results, while the best results were according to the Verhulst model. Also, the Leudeking Piret model has also been successfully used to predict substrate consumption during fermentation time.

Lignocellulosic biomass-derived sugars is considered to be an economically attractive carbohydrate feedstock for large-scale fermentation of bulk chemicals such as lactic acid (LA). The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of LA production from distillers grains hydrolysates (DGHs) by the Rhizopus oryzae CICC41411 and to optimize the biological conversion of reducing sugar into LA to evaluate the culture conditions. The effects of factors such as nitrogen source, inoculations size, CaCO3 addition, pH value and fermentation time on the lactic acid concentration (LAC) and the reducing sugars utilization rate (RSUR) were researched. The results show that ammonium chloride is the most favorable nitrogen source for LA production by Rhizopus. Oryzae CICC41411, the optimal fermentation conditions are inoculation size of 2.5% seed culture, CaCO3 addition of 80 g·L-1, fermentation time of 96 h and culture pH of 6.0. This study provides an encouraging means of producing LA from lignocellulosic resource such as the low-cost distillers grains.

The purpose of this study was to use a mixture of whole wheat–barley flour mixture in the preparation of traditional Iranian bread (Barbari) in the optimum condition of fermentation to benefit from all available nutrients. In this study, bread parameters such as specific volume, porosity, textural characteristics, zinc, iron, phytic acid and organoleptic properties were investigated. In this research, different percentages of sourdough (15–30%) and fermentation time (30 – 120 min) were applied. Results showed that the phytic acid content significantly decreased ( p < 0.05) (0.23 – 0.14) by increasing sourdough and fermentation time, which result in increasing in zinc (17.49 – 22.89%) and iron (36.44 – 45.32%) content. Both the sourdough content and fermentation time parameters had a significant effect ( p < 0.05) on the better porosity (9.05 – 13.50%) and overall acceptability of bread (2.15 – 3.85). The hardness, gumminess, chewiness, porosity, phytic acid and overall acceptance parameters were used to optimize the fermentation conditions of Barbari bread by response surface methodology using a central composite design. Optimal conditions for the production of Barbari bread were 29.53% sourdough and 120 min fermentation time. Under optimal conditions, the overall acceptance, hardness, porosity, chewability, gumminess and phytic acid were 3.84, 60.81 N, 14.09%, 302.01 N/mm, 41.37 N and 0.15%, respectively.

Response surface methodology was used for optimization of polygalacturonase (PG) and pectinesterase (PE) production in submerged fermentation by A.niger. A Central Composite Experimental Design was applied, consisting of 22 experiments, including eight central points. Variables studied were: fermentation time (24 to 120 h), pH (3.5 to 6.5) and initial concentration of pectin (5 to 20 g/l). Maximum PE production was 220 U/l, after 74 h of culture, in a medium containing 20 g/l of pectin (pH 6.5). The optimal conditions for PG production were pH: 4.1, 20 g/l of pectin and 94 h of fermentation with a maximum value of 1032 U/l. Under these conditions, the PE production was low (15 U/l). A liquid extract with high PG activity and low PE activity could be suitable to be used in food processing in order to reduce the production of methanol.

In this study, spent coffee waste (SCW) was used as the sole carbon source for xylanase production in solid state fermentation mode using Aspergillus niger. A Box–Behnken design was constructed using three parameters viz. temperature, initial moisture content, and log number of spores to determine the optimal fermentation condition. The best fermentation conditions for xylanase production were found to be incubation at 30 °C with an initial moisture content of 70% and using an inoculum of 6.5 × 106 spores/g of dry SCW. Furthermore, the design of experiments revealed that maintaining a medium composition of 0.2 g of yeast extract, 0.04 g of K2HPO4, and 0.03 g of MgSO4 increased xylanase production. Under optimised solid-state fermentation conditions an enzyme activity of 6495.6 IU/g of dry SCW was recorded, which was approximately 1.39-fold higher than that of control (4649 IU/g of dry SCW). The efficacy of the purified xylanase as a juice enrichment agent for strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry pulp was tested.
