The Plackett-Burman’s experiemental design was used to efficiently select the key cultural parameters for the production of halophilic glutaminase by moderating halophilic bacterium Tetragenococcus muriaticus FF5302. Eleven variables were selected, which involved glutamine, peptone, yeast extract, glucose, fructose, KCl, MgSO4, NaCl, temperature, pH, and inoculum size, to identify the most significant variables affecting halophilic glutaminase production in 12 experimental trials. The results of the statistical analyses demonstrated that glutamine, pH, and temperature had significant effects on halophilic glutaminase production. The maximum halophilic glutaminase activity of 199.27 U mL-1 was observed after 120 h of fermentation. After Plackett-Burman’s design experiments, the glutaminase activity was found to be 2.28 folds increase compared to basal conditions. Thus, the cultivation of T. muriaticus FF5302 under the optimal condition could enhance the production of halophilic glutaminase enzyme effectively.

Wheat flour is frequently used in variousfood processing, including in Bhoi production. In this study, mocaf (modified cassava flour) was introduced as a substituion material to wheat and ground coffee as a flavour agent. A complete randomized design was applied as an experimental design with two factors; ratio of mocaf and what flour (M) and addition of ground coffee (K), consisted of two factors, ratio of mocaf and what flour (M) and addition of coffee powder (K). Ratio of mocaf and wheat flour (M) consisted of 4 levels(M1 = 75 : 25, M2 = 50 : 50, M3 = 25 : 75, M4 = 0 : 100) and addition of ground coffee consisted of 2 levels(K1 = with addition of coffee powder, K2 = without addition of coffee powder). There were 8 levels and 3 replicates, so that it consisted of 24 units of experimental trials. Food quality analyzed includedorganoleptic (colour, aroma, texture, and taste) for all of trial units and chemical charactristics such as water content, ash, protein, fat, and carbohydrate for sample with the best organoleptic characteristics. A “5-point hedonic scale” was used to describe the organoleptic characteristics; 1 (like very much), 2 (like), 3 (neutral/neither like nor dislike), 4 (dislike), and 5 (dislike very much). The result showed that ratio of mocaf and wheat flour (M) and also addition of ground (K) very significantly affected on colour, aroma, texture, and taste of Bhoi. Interaction of mocaf and wheat flour and addition of ground (MK) was very significantonly on organoleptic character of taste. Bhoi had a scale of colour in range of 1.83 (like)–3.51 (dislike), aroma 2.11 (like)–3.06 (neutral), texture 2.00 (like)–3.43(neutral) and taste 2.11 (like)–2.86 (neutral). The best treatment was Bhoi with ratio of mocaf and wheat of 25:75 and without addition of ground, which contained ash 1.40%, water 11.79%, protein 0.74%, and carbohydrate 68.77%.

How should researchers design experiments to detect treatment effects with panel data? In this paper, we derive analytical expressions for the variance of panel estimators under non-i.i.d. error structures, which inform power calculations in panel data settings. Using Monte Carlo simulation, we demonstrate that, with correlated errors, traditional methods for experimental design result in experiments that are incorrectly powered with proper inference. Failing to account for serial correlation yields overpowered experiments in short panels and underpowered experiments in long panels. Using both data from a randomized experiment in China and a high-frequency dataset of U.S. electricity consumption, we show that these results hold in real-world settings. Our theoretical results enable us to achieve correctly powered experiments in both simulated and real data. This paper provides researchers with the tools to design well-powered experiments in panel data settings.

In a company of the polymer branch, located in Jilotepec, State of Mexico, presents the need to solve some problems in the manufacture of polyurethane foam such as codes 25 STD BCQ and 64 FB, which must comply with a density and compression specific. We used the experimental design of Taguchi, which allows to design experiments that usually require only a fraction of the complete factor combinations, each factor can be evaluated independently, so that the effect of one factor does not influence the estimation of another factor. Seven factors were evaluated with two levels each: index of TDI, water, polyol, amine, catalyst Z-7, silicon and methyl chloride. To calculate the density (kg/m3), each of the samples obtained was weighed on an analytical scale and the volume of each one was obtained. The compression was measured on an Instron® universal machine. The new formulation optimized for the foam 25 STD BCQ achieved a density of 14-15 kg / m3 and a compression of 27-33 lbf., While the foam 64 FB achieved a density of 23-25 kg / m3 and a compression 58- 68 lbf., These results satisfactorily meet customer specifications.

This study was designed with the aim to produce microbial proteases in presence of speckled shrimp by-product. For this reason, three strains belonging to Bacillus genus, namely, Aeribacillus pallidus VP3, Lysinibacillus fusiformis C250R, and Anoxybacillus kamchatkensis M1V were studied under co-culture procedure. A Taguchi L27 experimental design was applied to optimize the co-culture parameters. The experimental design was built with 9 factors (by-product powder concentration, the pH of the medium, the temperature, the sucrose concentration, the agitation speed, the inoculum sizes of VP3, M1V, and C250R strains, and the culture volume) at three different levels. The obtained results showed that a total protease activity of 8,182 U/mL could be achieved after 24 h of incubation in presence of 20 g/L shrimp by-product and 10 g/L sucrose, at an initial pH of 7, a 40°C temperature and absorbance, at 600 nm, of inoculum sizes of 0.1, 0.3, and 0.1 for VP3, M1V, and C250R strains, respectively. The agitation was set at 200 rpm, and the final volume was 25 mL. Taguchi’s design allowed the identification of temperature, the inoculum size for strain VP3, the inoculum size for strain M1V, and the final culture volume as the most influencing variables. A Box–Behnken design with 27 experiments was carried out for the optimization of these four selected factors. Following such design, the highest protease production reached was 11,300 U/mL. This yield was obtained in a final culture volume of 15 mL containing 20 g/L shrimp by-product powder and 10 g/L sucrose and inoculated with VP3, C250R, and M1V strains at 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2, respectively. The flasks were incubated at 45°C for 24 h with shaking at 200 rpm. The efficiency of chitin extraction by co-cultivation was investigated under the latter conditions. The chitin yield from shells by-product was 16.7%. Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis of the obtained chitin displayed characteristic profiles similar to that of the commercial α-chitin.

Objective: To study 1) Optimization of nutritional and environmental parameters to enhance the yield of EPS by Halomonas smyrnensis SVD III isolated from seawater, West Coast of Maharashtra, India and 2) Purification and characterization of the EPS produced.Methods: The isolate was grown in Sehgal and Gibbons (SG) medium broth supplemented with 3% glucose, at 37 °C, 120 rpm for 7 d. Optimization of different parameters was carried out with one factor at a time approach. EPS was isolated from cell-free supernatant of the culture broth by centrifugation and precipitation using chilled ethanol, after removal of proteins by trichloroacetic acid (TCA) treatment. Characterization of the purified EPS was carried out with respect to fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum and mass spectrometry (MS) analysis.Results: Two-fold increase in the yield of EPS (23 g/l) by the selected isolate was obtained by using culture conditions as 10% inoculum size having cell density of 107 cells/ml, pH 6, incubation temperature 45 °C, 3% carbohydrate, 0.5% yeast extract as nitrogen source, 20% salt concentration and 7 d of incubation period. Characterization of the purified EPS suggested the presence of dominated glycosidic linkages and heptasaccharide nature of the molecule. As the present strain is halophilic, 20% NaCl was found to be optimum.Conclusion: Optimization studies resulted in two-fold increase in the yield of EPS which is of heptasaccharide nature.

Background: L-asparaginase is one of the most widely used chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of a variety of lymphoproliferative disorders and particularly acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Due to increased applications of L-asparaginase in several industrial fields including food processing and medical fields, its production needs to be increased to several folds. Objective: The aim was (i) to identify the significant factors which affect L-asparaginase production by Streptomyces fradiae NEAE-82 and (ii) to achieve higher production of L-asparaginase. Methods: Sixteen assigned factors and three dummy factors were screened using Plackett-Burman experimental design to determine the most important factors for the production of L-asparaginase by Streptomyces fradiae NEAE-82. Results: L-asparagine was determined to be the most significant positive independent factor (P-value 0.0092) affecting L-asparaginase production by Streptomyces fradiae NEAE-82 followed by pH and NaCl with significant P-values of 0.0133 and 0.0272; respectively. These factors were further optimized by Box-Behnken experimental design. The optimized fermentation conditions, which resulted in the maximum L-asparagine activity of 53.572 UmL-1 are g/L: dextrose 4, L-asparagine 15, KNO3 2, MgSO4.7H2O 0.5, K2HPO4 1, FeSO4.7H2O 0.02, NaCl 0.2, ZnSO4 0.01 and inoculum size 2 %, v/v for 7 days incubation at temperature 37°C, agitation speed 100 rpm, pH 8.5. Conclusion: A total of 3.41-fold increase in the production of L-asparaginase was achieved in the medium after statistical improvement (53.572 UmL-1) as compared to the unoptimized basal medium used prior to the application of Plackett-Burman (15.704 UmL-1).
