Abstract
Objective Network analysis techniques often require tuning hyperparameters for optimal performance. For instance, the independent cascade model necessitates determining the probability of diffusion. Despite its importance, a consensus on effective parameter adjustment remains elusive. Methods In this study, we propose a novel approach utilizing experimental design methodologies, specifically 2-Factorial Analysis for Screening, and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) for parameter adjustment. We apply this methodology to the task of detecting cancer driver genes in colorectal cancer. Result Through experimental validation of colorectal cancer data, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed methodology. Compared with existing methods, our approach offers several advantages, including reduced computational overhead, systematic parameter selection grounded in statistical theory, and improved performance in detecting cancer driver genes. Conclusion This study presents a significant advancement in the field of network analysis by providing a practical and systematic approach to hyperparameter tuning. By optimizing parameter settings, our methodology offers promising implications for critical biomedical applications such as cancer driver gene detection.

Abstract
The commercial production of multifunctional, biocompatible, and biodegradable biopolymers such as poly-γ-glutamic acid via microbial fermentation requires the development of simple and cheap methods for mass production. This study optimized the poly-γ-glutamic acid production of Bacillus licheniformis ATCC 9945a in several steps. At first, the most critical components of the culture medium, including l-glutamic acid, citric acid, and glycerol, were selected by screening nine factors through the Plackett-Burman experimental design and then were optimized using the response surface method and the central composite design algorithm. Under optimal conditions, the production of poly-γ-glutamic acid increased by more than 4.2 times from 11.2 to 47.2 g/L. This is one of the highest production rates of this strain in submerged batch fermentation reported so far using the optimized medium compared to the conventional base medium. A novel and efficient sudden pulse feeding strategy (achieved by a novel one-factorial statistical technique) of l-glutamic acid to the optimized medium increased biopolymer production from 47.2 to 66.1 g/L, the highest value reported in published literature with this strain. This simple, reproducible, and cheap fermentation process can considerably enhance the commercial applications of the poly-γ-glutamic acid synthesized by B. licheniformis ATCC 9945a.

Abstract
Cleft palates are oral deformities that mostly affect puppies. They are frequently extensive and characterized by bone and palatal mucosa malformation. This deformity is a serious condition that may result in the death of the dog, therefore surgical treatment is recommended. Tissue bioengineering has emerged as a valuable option to treat cleft palates by applying acellular biological scaffolds as grafts. This case report proposed a new approach for surgical correction of canine cleft palate through a grafting technique using a decellularized scaffold. A decellularized portion of skin was implanted to correct a large cleft palate in a 3-month-old female Pug dog. The skin fragment was obtained from a dog cadaver and a decellularization protocol was performed. Under general anesthesia, a bilateral mucoperiosteal separation of the entire length of cleft margins was performed, and the scaffold was then positioned between the tissue and the bone palate. The interaction of the grafted scaffold with the oral mucosa and palatine layers resulted in total cleft closure, without postsurgical rejection or infection, indicating the applicability of this technique in dog's cleft palate correction. This is the first reported case demonstrating this new technique, which resulted in full cleft closure and healing.

The optimization of poly(vinyl)-alcohol-alginate beads with a slow-release compound for the aerobic cometabolism of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons. RSC SUSTAINABILITY 2024; 2:1101-1117. [PMID: 38585330 PMCID: PMC10993105 DOI: 10.1039/d3su00409k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
Chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs), such as cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (cDCE), are prevalent in groundwater at many locations throughout the United States. When immobilized in hydrogel beads with slow-release compounds, the bacteria strain Rhodococcus rhodochrous ATCC 21198 can be used for the in situ bioremediation of cDCE. These hydrogel beads must exhibit high mechanical strength and resist degradation to extend the lifetime of slow-release compounds and bioremediation. We engineered poly(vinyl)-alcohol - alginate (PVA-AG) beads to immobilize ATCC 21198 with the slow-release compound, tetrabutoxysilane (TBOS) that produces 1-butanol as a growth substrate, for high mechanical strength. We optimized three inputs (concentration of PVA, concentration of AG, and the crosslinking time) on two responses (compressive modulus and rate of oxygen utilization) for batch incubation experiments between 1 and 30 days using a design of experiments approach. The predictive models generated from design of experiments were then tested by measuring the compressive strength, oxygen utilization, and abiotic rates of hydrolysis for a predicted optimal bead formulation. The result of this study generated a hydrogel bead with immobilized R. rhodochrous ATCC 21198 and TBOS that exhibited a high compressive modulus on day 1 and day 30, which was accurately predicted by models. These hydrogel beads exhibited low metabolic activity based on oxygen rates on day 1 and day 30 but were not accurately predicted by the models. In addition, the ratio between oxygen utilization and abiotic rates of hydrolysis were observed to be roughly half of what was expected stoichiometrically. Lastly, we demonstrated the capability to use these beads as a bioremediation technology for cDCE as we found that, for all bead formulations, cDCE was significantly reduced after 30 days. Altogether, this work demonstrates the capability to capture and enhance the material properties of the complex hydrogel beads with predictive models yet signals the need for more robust methods to understand the metabolic activity that occurs in the hydrogel beads.

Optimization of newly isolated Bacillus cereus α-amylase production using orange peels and crab shells and application in wastewater treatment. 3 Biotech 2024; 14:119. [PMID: 38524238 PMCID: PMC10959860 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-024-03962-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024] Open
Abstract
A newly isolated amylolytic strain was identified as Bacillus cereus spH1 based on 16S and 16-23S gene sequencing (Accession numbers OP811441.1 and OP819558, respectively), optimization strategies, using one variable at time (OVAT) and Plackett-Burman design, were employed to improve the alpha-amylase (α-amylase) production. Condition inferred revealed that the optimal physical parameters for maximum enzyme production were 30 °C, pH 7.5, and 12 h of incubation, using tryptone, malt extract, orange (Citrus sinensis) peels, crab (Portunus segnis) shells, calcium, and sodium chloride (NaCl) as culture medium. The full factorial design (FFD) model was observed to possess a predicted R2 and adjusted R2 values of 0.9788 and 0.9862, respectively, and it can effectively predict the response variables (p = 0). Following such efforts, α-amylase activity was increased 141.6-folds, ranging from 0.06 to 8.5 U/mL. The ideal temperature and pH for the crude enzyme activity were 65 °C and 7.5, respectively. The enzyme exhibited significant stability, with residual activity over 90% at 55 °C. The maltose was the only product generated during the starch hydrolysis. Moreover, the Bacillus cereus spH1 strain and its α-amylase were used in the treatment of effluents from the pasta industry. Germination index percentages of 143% and 139% were achieved when using the treated effluent with α-amylase and the strain, respectively. This work proposes the valorization of agro-industrial residues to improve enzyme production and to develop a green and sustainable approach that holds great promise for environmental and economic challenges.

Abstract
This study aimed to produce enzymes (beta (β)-mannanase using a recombinant Aspergillus sojae AsT3 and inulinase using Aspergillus niger A42) and oligosaccharides (mannooligosaccharides (MOS), fructooligosaccharides (FOS)) using coffee waste, ground coffee, and coffee extract by solid-state fermentation (SSF). Plackett-Burman Design (PBD) was used to create a design for enzyme production with four different parameters (temperature, pH, solid-to-liquid ratio (SLR), and mix with coffee wastes and ground coffee). The highest β-mannanase and inulinase activities were 71.17 and 564.07 U/mg of protein respectively. Statistical analysis showed that the temperature was statistically significant for the production of both enzymes (P < 0.05). The produced enzymes were utilized in French Pressed coffee extracts to produce oligosaccharides. As a result of the enzymatic hydrolyzation, the highest mannobiose, mannotriose, mannotetraose, and total MOS levels were 109.66, 101.11, 391.02, and 600.64 ppm, respectively. For the FOS production, the maximal 1,1,1-kestopentaose was 38.34 ppm. Consequently, this study demonstrates that a recombinant Aspergillus sojae AsT3 β-mannanase and Aspergillus niger A42 inulinase produced from coffee wastes and ground coffee can be used in coffee extracts to increase the amount of oligosaccharides in coffee extracts.

Abstract
This research article focuses on the targeted color design of silver-gold alloy nanoparticles (NPs), employing a multivariate optimization approach. NP synthesis involves interconnected process parameters, making independent variation challenging. Data-based property-process relationships are established to optimize optical properties effectively. We define a color target, employ a green chemical co-reduction method at room temperature and optimize process parameters accordingly. The CIEL*a*b* color space (Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage - International Commission on Illumination) and Euclidean distances facilitate accurate color matching to establish the property-process relationship. Concurrently, theoretical Mie calculations explore the structure-property relationship across particle sizes, concentrations, and molar gold contents. The theoretically optimal structure agrees very well with experimental particle structures at the property-process relationship's optimum. The data-driven property-process relationship provides valuable insights into the formation mechanism of a complex particle system, sheds light on the role of relevant process parameters and allows to evaluate the practically available property space. Model validation beyond the original grid demonstrates its robustness, yielding colors close to the target. Additionally, Design of Experiments (DoE) methods reduce experimental work by threefold with slight accuracy trade-offs. Our novel methodology for targeted color design demonstrates how data-based methods can be utilized alongside structure-property relationships to unravel property-process relationships in the design of complex nanoparticle systems and paves the way for future developments in targeted property design.

Abstract
Design of experiments (DoE) is a term used to describe the application of statistical approaches to interrogate the impact of many variables on the performance of a multivariate system. It is commonly used for process optimization in fields such as chemical engineering and material science. Recent advances in the ability to quantitatively control the expression of genes in biological systems open up the possibility to apply DoE for genetic optimization. In this review targeted to genetic and metabolic engineers, we introduce several approaches in DoE at a high level and describe instances wherein these were applied to interrogate or optimize engineered genetic systems. We discuss the challenges of applying DoE and propose strategies to mitigate these challenges. ONE-SENTENCE SUMMARY This is a review of literature related to applying Design of Experiments for genetic optimization.

Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the methanolic fraction of Mutisia acuminatta leaves using Plackett-Burman design to optimize process parameters and to evaluate its antibacterial effect. Methods: For the separation of Mutisia acuminatta phytoconstituents, chromatographic techniques were used. For characterization and identification, UV - VIS spectrophotometry, FTIR spectrophotometry, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used. The Plackett-Burman design used polynomial regression statistical analysis to determine the most influential variables. Results: UV-VIS spectroscopy reported an absorbance concerning surface plasmon resonance between 410-420 nm wavelength for the AgNPs. FTIR spectrophotometry reported characteristic peaks in the biosynthesized AgNPs, observing the disappearance of spectral peaks between 1000-1500 cm -1. By UHPLC-MS, caffeic acid derivatives, coumarins, flavonoids, lignans, disaccharide and a complex formed between silver and the solvent (AgCH3CN+) were identified. Using DLS, the AgNPs presented an average hydrodynamic size of 45.91 nm. TEM determined the spherical shape of the AgNPs, presenting diameters in the range of 30 to 60 nm. The biosynthesized AgNPs showed higher antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus than the total extract, the methanolic fraction and pure methanol. The polynomial model in the biosynthesis was validated with an adequate fitting representing the experimental data of the process. The most significant variables for the model obtained were the reaction pH (X 2) and the concentration of the precursor salt AgNO 3 (X 6). Conclusions: The synthesized AgNPs offer a viable option for further development due to the presence of bioactive compounds, adequate characterization and antibacterial activity.

Abstract
Several studies have explored the biological activities of Citrus aurantium flowers, fruits, and seeds, but the bioactivity of C. aurantium leaves, which are treated as waste, remains unclear. Thus, this study developed a pilot-scale ultrasonic-assisted extraction process using the Box-Behnken design (BBD) for the optimized extraction of active compounds from C. aurantium leaves, and their antityrosinase, antioxidant, antiaging, and antimicrobial activities were evaluated. Under optimal conditions in a 150× scaleup configuration (a 30 L ultrasonic machine) of a pilot plant, the total phenolic content was 69.09 mg gallic acid equivalent/g dry weight, which was slightly lower (3.17%) than the theoretical value. The half maximal inhibitory concentration of C. aurantium leaf extract (CALE) for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl-scavenging, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)-scavenging, antityrosinase, anticollagenase, antielastase and anti-matrix metalloprotein-1 activities were 123.5, 58.5, 181.3, 196.4, 216.3, and 326.4 mg/L, respectively. Moreover, the minimal inhibitory concentrations for bacteria and fungi were 150-350 and 500 mg/L, respectively. In total, 17 active compounds were detected in CALE-with linalool, linalyl acetate, limonene, and α-terpineol having the highest concentrations. Finally, the overall transdermal absorption and permeation efficiency of CALE was 95.9%. In conclusion, our CALE demonstrated potential whitening, antioxidant, antiaging, and antimicrobial activities; it was also nontoxic and easily absorbed into the skin as well as inexpensive to produce. Therefore, it has potential applications in various industries.

Abstract
Umbelopsis ramanniana was investigated to increase carotenoid production. Nine different carbon sources and six different nitrogen sources were evaluated for the maximum carotenoid production. The most effective nitrogen and carbon sources were KNO3 and lactose, respectively. Then, the optimization of medium components for enhancement of carotenoid production by Umbelopsis ramanniana was achieved using Plackett-Burman design. Box-Behnken response surface methodology was applied to further optimize carotenoid and biomass production. Carbon to nitrogen ratio, lactose concentration, and shaking speed were studied as variables in Box-Behnken design. The optimum conditions for carotenoid and biomass production were determined as 32.42 g/L of lactose concentration, 20:1 of carbon to nitrogen ratio, and shaking speed of 130 rpm. The maximum carotenoid and biomass production under optimized conditions were 1141 μg/L (β-carotene-Eq) and 13.14 g/L, respectively. When compared to the control fermentation, carotenoid, and biomass production were increased by about 2 and 1.3 folds, respectively.

Abstract
This work aimed to obtain poly(glycerol citraconate) (PGCitrn) for biomedical applications, analyze the obtained polyester by spectroscopic methods, and optimize its preparation. Polycondensation reactions of glycerol and citraconic anhydride were carried out. It was provided that the results in the reaction are oligomers of poly(glycerol citraconate). Optimization studies were carried out based on the Box-Behnken design. The input variables in this plan were the ratio of functional groups, temperature, and time and occurrence in coded form: -1, 0, or 1. Three output variables were optimized: the degree of esterification, the percentage of Z-mers, and the degree of carboxyl group conversion; they were determined by titration and spectroscopic methods. The optimization criterion was to maximize the values of output variables. A mathematical model and an equation describing it were determined for each output variable. The models predicted the experimental results well. An experiment was conducted under determined optimal conditions. The experimental results were very close to the calculated values. Poly(glycerol citraconate) oligomers with an esterification degree of 55.2%, a Z-mer content of 79.0%, and a degree of rearrangement of carboxyl groups of 88.6% were obtained. The obtained PGCitrn can serve as a component of an injectable implant. The obtained material can be used to produce nonwoven fabrics (with the addition of PLLA, for example), which can be subjected to a cytotoxicity test which can then serve as a dressing material.

Abstract
To improve synthetic media for protein expression in Escherichia coli, a strategy using deep neural networks (DNN) and Bayesian optimization was performed in this study. To obtain training data for a deep learning algorithm, E. coli harvesting a plasmid pRSET/emGFP, which introduces the green fluorescence protein (GFP), was cultivated in 81 media designed using a Latin square in deepwell-scale cultivation. The media were composed of 31 components with three levels. The resultant GFP fluorescence intensities were evaluated using a fluorescence spectrometer, and the intensities were in the range 2.69-7.99 × 103. A deep neural network model was used to estimate the GFP fluorescence intensities from the culture media compositions, and accuracy was evaluated using cross-validation with 15% test data. Bayesian optimization using the best DNN model was used to calculate 20 representative compositions optimized for GFP expression. According to the validating cultivation, the simulated GFP expression levels included large errors between the estimated and experimental data. The DNN model was retrained using data from the validating cultivation, and secondary estimations were performed. The secondary estimations fit the corresponding experimental data well, and the best GFP fluorescence intensity was 1.4-fold larger than the best of the initial test composition.

Optimization and Molecular Mechanism of Novel α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Peptides Derived from Camellia Seed Cake through Enzymatic Hydrolysis. Foods 2023; 12:foods12020393. [PMID: 36673484 PMCID: PMC9857891 DOI: 10.3390/foods12020393] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 01/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
In recent years, food-derived hypoglycemic peptides have received a lot of attention in the study of active peptides, but their anti-diabetic mechanism of action is not yet clear. In this study, camellia seed cake protein (CSCP) was used to prepare active peptides with α-glucosidase inhibition. The optimization of the preparation of camellia seed cake protein hydrolyzed peptides (CSCPH) was conducted via response surface methodology (RSM) using a protamex with α-glucosidase inhibition as an indicator. The optimal hydrolysis conditions were pH 7.11, 4300 U/g enzyme concentration, 50 °C hydrolysis temperature, and 3.95 h hydrolysis time. Under these conditions, the α-glucosidase inhibition rate of CSCPH was 58.70% (IC50 8.442 ± 0.33 mg/mL). The peptides with high α-glucosidase inhibitory activity were isolated from CSCPH by ultrafiltration and Sephadex G25. Leu-Leu-Val-Leu-Tyr-Tyr-Glu-Tyr (LLVLYYEY) and Leu-Leu-Leu-Leu-Pro-Ser-Tyr-Ser-Glu-Phe (LLLLPSYSEF) were identified and synthesized for the first time by Liquid chromatography electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) analysis and virtual screening with IC50 values of 0.33 and 1.11 mM, respectively. Lineweaver-Burk analysis and molecular docking demonstrated that LLVLYYEY was a non-competitive inhibitor of α-glucosidase, whereas LLLLPSYSEF inhibited α-glucosidase, which displayed a mixed inhibition mechanism. The study suggests the possibility of using peptides from Camellia seed cake as hypoglycaemic compounds for the prevention and treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
Codelivery of chemotherapeutic drugs in nanoparticles can enhance the therapeutic effects against tumors. However, their anticancer properties and physiochemical characteristics can be severely influenced by many formulation parameters during the preparation process. It is a complicated development phase to select the optimal parameters for preparation of nanoparticles based on the commonly used one single parameter method, which consumes a lot of money, time, and effort, and sometimes even fails. Therefore, the statistical analysis based on Box-Behnken design (BBD) has attracted much attention in bioengineering fields because it can illustrate the influence of parameters, build mathematical models, and predict the optimal combinational factors in a decreased number of experiments. In this study, we used a three-factor three-level BBD design to optimize the preparation of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles coloaded with two anticancer drugs curcumin and paclitaxel (PLGA-CUR-PTX nanoparticles). The surfactant concentration, polymer concentration, and oil-water ratio were selected as independent variables. An optimized model of the formulation for PLGA-CUR-PTX nanoparticles was validated. The optimal nanoparticles possessed a uniform spherical shape, with an average size of 99.94 nm, and the drug encapsulation efficiencies of CUR and PTX were 63.53 and 80.64%, respectively. The drug release from nanoparticles showed a biphasic release behavior, with a release mechanism via diffusion and fundamentally quasi-Fickian diffusion. The optimized nanoparticles demonstrated an enhanced cytotoxicity effect with lower IC50 values to 4T1 and MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines compared to free drugs. In summary, BBD optimization of CUR and PTX coloaded nanoparticles yielded a favorable drug carrier that holds potential as an alternative treatment for anticancer therapy.

Effects of Temperature, pH, and NaCl Concentration on Biomass and Bioactive Compound Production by Synechocystis salina. LIFE (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:life13010187. [PMID: 36676136 PMCID: PMC9867336 DOI: 10.3390/life13010187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
Synechocystis salina is a cyanobacterium that has biotechnological potential thanks to its ability to synthesize several bioactive compounds of interest. Therefore, this study aimed to find optimal conditions, in terms of temperature (15-25 °C), pH (6.5-9.5), and NaCl concentration (10-40 g·L-1), using as objective functions the productivities of biomass, total carotenoids, total PBPs, phycocyanin (PC), allophycocyanin (APC), phycoerythrin (PE), and antioxidants (AOXs) capacity of Synechocystis salina (S. salina) strain LEGE 06155, based in factorial design resorting to Box-Behnken. The model predicted higher biomass productivities under a temperature of 25 °C, a pH of 7.5, and low NaCl concentrations (10 g·L-1). Maximum productivities in terms of bioactive compounds were attained at lower NaCl concentrations (10 g·L-1) (except for PE), with the best temperature and pH in terms of carotenoids and total and individual PBPs ranging from 23-25 °C to 7.5-9.5, respectively. PE was the only pigment for which the best productivity was reached at a lower temperature (15 °C) and pH (6.5) and a higher concentration of NaCl (≈25 g·L-1). AOX productivities, determined in both ethanolic and aqueous extracts, were positively influenced by lower temperatures (15-19 °C) and higher salinities (≈15-25 g·L-1). However, ethanolic AOXs were better recovered at a higher pH (pH ≈ 9.5), while aqueous AOXs were favored by a pH of 8. The model showed that biomass production can be enhanced by 175% (compared to non-optimized conditions), total carotenoids by 91%, PC by 13%, APC by 50%, PE by 130%, and total PBPs by 39%; for AOX productivities, only water extracts exhibited a (marginal) improvement of 1.4%. This study provided insightful information for the eventual upgrading of Synechocystis salina biomass in the biotechnological market.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A significant problem faced by the health care industry today is that though there are numerous drugs available to tackle diseases like cancer, their intrinsic properties make it difficult to be delivered to patients in a feasible manner. One of the key players that have helped researchers overcome poor solubility and permeability of drugs is Nanotechnology, this article further iterates on the same. SIGNIFICANCE Nanotechnology is used as an umbrella term in pharmaceutics and describes under it multiple technologies. Upcoming nanotechnology is a Self Nanoemulsifying System which is considered to be a futuristic delivery system both due to its scientific simplicity and relative ease of patient delivery. METHODS Self-Nano Emulsifying Drug Delivery Systems (SNEDDS) are homogenous lipidic concoctions containing the drug solubilized in the oil phase and surfactants. The choice of components depends on the physicochemical properties of the drugs, the solubilization capability of oils and the physiological fate of the drug. The article contains further details of various methodologies that have been adopted by scientists to formulate and optimize such systems in order to make anticancer drugs orally deliverable. RESULTS The results that have been generated by scientists across the globe have been summarized in the article and all of the data supports the claim that SNEDDS significantly enhance the solubility and bioavailability of hydrophobic anticancer drugs. CONCLUSIONS This article mainly provides the application of SNEDDS in cancer therapy and concludes to provide a step for the oral administration of several BCS class II and IV anticancer drugs.

Simulation of the Biofiltration of Sulfur Compounds: Effect of the Partition Coefficients. Processes (Basel) 2022.

Abstract
The effect of the partition coefficient on the simulation of the operation of a biotrickling filter treating a mixture of sulfur compounds was analyzed to evaluate the pertinence of using Henry’s law in determining its removal capacity. The analysis consisted of the simulation of a biotrickling filter that bio-oxides hydrogen sulfide (H2S), dimethyl sulfide (DMS), methyl mercaptan (MM) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) using different types of models for determining the partition coefficient: Henry’s law for pure water, Henry’s law adjusted from experimental data, a mixed model (Extended UNIQUAC) and a semi-empirical model of two-parameters. The simulations were compared with experimental data. It was observed that Henry’s law for pure water could produce significant deviations from empirical data due to the liquid phase not being pure water. The two-parameter model better fits with similar results compared to the extended UNIQUAC model, with a lower calculation cost and necessary parameter amount. It shows that semi-empirical models can considerably improve simulation accuracy where complex phase interactions are present.

Abstract
The study aimed to develop a new reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method with diode array detection (DAD) detection for simultaneous estimation of escitalopram (EST) and clonazepam (CZP) in tablet dosage forms with a quality by design (QbD) approach. The chromatographic conditions were optimized by Box-Behnken design (BBD) and developed method was validated for the linearity, system suitability, accuracy, precision, robustness, sensitivity, and solution stability according to International Council for Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. EST and CZP standard drugs peaks were separated at retention times of 2.668 and 5.046 min by C-18 column with dimension of 4.6 × 100 mm length and particle size packing 2.5 µm. The mobile phase was methanol: 0.1% orthophosphoric acid (OPA) (25:75, v/v), with a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min at temperature of 26 °C. The sample volume injected was 20 µL and peaks were detected at 239 nm. Using the standard calibration curve, the % assay of marketed tablet was founded 98.89 and 98.76 for EST and CZP, respectively. The proposed RP-HPLC method was able to detect EST and CZP in the presence of their degradation products, indicating the stability-indicating property of the developed RP-HPLC method. The validation parameter’s results in terms of linearity, system suitability, accuracy, precision, robustness, sensitivity, and solution stability were in an acceptable range as per the ICH guidelines. The newly developed RP-HPLC method with QbD application is simple, accurate, time-saving, and economic.

Abstract
For practical use of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) for disease modelling, drug screening, and regenerative medicine, the cell differentiation process needs to be properly refined to generate end products with consistent and high quality. To construct and optimize a robust cell-induction process, a myriad of cell culture conditions should be considered. In contrast to inefficient brute-force screening, statistical design of experiments (DOE) approaches, such as factorial design, orthogonal array design, response surface methodology (RSM), definitive screening design (DSD), and mixture design, enable efficient and strategic screening of conditions in smaller experimental runs through multifactorial screening and/or quantitative modeling. Although DOE has become routinely utilized in the bioengineering and pharmaceutical fields, the imminent need of more detailed cell-lineage specification, complex organoid construction, and a stable supply of qualified cell-derived material requires expedition of DOE utilization in stem cell bioprocessing. This review summarizes DOE-based cell culture optimizations of PSCs, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, which guide effective research and development of PSC-derived materials for academic and industrial applications.

Abstract
This study highlighted the exploitation of mathematical models for optimizing the growth conditions that give the highest phosphatase productivity from a newfound Lysinibacillus sp. strain APSO isolated from a slime sample. Mathematical models facilitate data interpretation and provide a strategy to solve fermentation problems. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) throughput was enhanced by 16.5-fold compared to basal medium based on a sequential optimization strategy that depended on two-level Plackett–Burman design and central composite design. The additional improvement for volumetric productivity and specific production yield was followed in a 7 L bench-top bioreactor to evaluate microbial growth kinetics under controlled and uncontrolled pH conditions. The pH-controlled batch cultivation condition neither supported cell growth nor enhanced ALP productivity. In contrast, the uncontrolled pH batch cultivation condition provided the highest ALP output (7119.4 U L−1) and specific growth rate (µ = 0.188 h−1) at 15 h from incubation time, which was augmented > 20.75-fold compared to the basal medium. To the authors’ knowledge, this study is the second report that deals with how to reduce the production cost of the ALP production process via utilization of agro-industrial waste, such as molasses and food waste (eggshell), as a nutrimental source for the improvement of the newfound Lysinibacillus sp. strain APSO ALP throughput.

[PMID: 33930970 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.125456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2020] [Revised: 02/11/2021] [Accepted: 02/15/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
The biotransformation of 1,4-dioxane, a endrocrine disrupting chemical was achieved using different bacterial strains and their consortia. Three different bacterial isolates were screened on their ability to grow with 50 mg/L 1,4-dioxane in the basal mineral medium. Then the isolates were tested for its efficiency to biotransform 1000 mg/L 1,4-dioxane at varying period of time; 24-120 h. The isolates were distinguished by their morphological features and 16 S rRNA gene sequencing was done to evaluate the phylogenetic relationships. The isolates were identified as Bacillus marisflavi strain MGA, Aeromonas hydrophila strain AG and Shewanella putrefaciens strain AG. The degree of biotransformation was escalated by constructing a bacterial consortium using statistical tool; response-mixture matrix under the design of experiments. The fully grown bacterial strains were used as ingredients in different proportions to formulate the consortium. The biotransformation was analyzed for functional attenuation using spectroscopic techniques and reduction in 1,4-dioxane level was confirmed using mass spectrometry. The precise quantification of biotransformation using mass spectral profile revealed that the consortium removed 31%, 61% and 85% of 1000 mg/L 1,4-dioxane within 96, 120 and 144 h respectively. The activities of inducible laccase were elucidated during biotransformation of 1,4-dioxane. Bio-toxicity of treated and untreated 1,4-dioxane on brine shrimp; Artemia salina showed that the biotransformed products were less toxic. Therefore, this report would be first of its kind to report the biotransformation and detoxification of 1,4-dioxane by a statistically designed bacterial consortium.

Abstract
The optimization of pharmaceutical bioprocesses suffers from several challenges like complexity, upscaling costs, regulatory approval, leading to the risk of delivering substandard drugs to patients. Bioprocess is very complex and requires the evaluation of multiple components that need to be monitored and controlled in order to attain the desired state when the process ends. Statistical design of experiments (DoE) is a powerful tool for optimizing bioprocesses because it plays a critical role in the quality by design strategy as it is useful in exploring the experimental domain and providing statistics of interest that enable scientists to understand the impact of critical process parameters on the critical quality attributes. This review summarizes selected publications in which DoE methodology was used to optimize bioprocess. The main objective of the critical review was to clearly demonstrate potential benefits of using the DoE and design space methodologies in bioprocess optimization.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are non-polar organic compounds that are omnipresent in the environment and released due to anthropogenic activities through emissions and discharges. PAHs, being xenobiotic and exerts health impacts, thus they attract serious concern by the environmentalists. The stringent regulations and the need of sustainable development urges the hunt for a technically feasible and cost-effective wastewater treatment. Although the conventional physico-chemical treatment are widely preferred, they cause secondary pollution problems and demand subsequent treatment options. This comprehensive review intends to address the (a) different PAHs and their associated toxicity, (b) the remedial strategies, particularly biodegradation. The biological wastewater treatment techniques that involve microbial systems are highly influenced by the different physio-chemical and environmental parameters. Therefore, suitable optimization techniques are prerequisite for effective functioning of the biological treatment that sustains judiciously and interpreted in a lesser time. Here we have aimed to discuss (a) different chemo-metric tools involved in the design of experiments (DoE), (b) design equations and models, (c) tools for evaluating the model's adequacy and (d) plots for graphically interpreting the chemo-metric designs. However, to best of our knowledge, this is a first review to discuss the PAHs biodegradation that are tailored by chemo-metric designs. The associated challenges, available opportunities and techno-economic aspects of PAHs degradation using chemo-metric engineering designs are explained. Additionally, the review highlights how well these DoE tools can be suited for the sustainable socio-industrial sectors. Concomitantly, the futuristic scope and prospects to undertake new areas of research exploration were emphasized to unravel the least explored chemo-metric designs.

Optimization of Yeast, Sugar and Nutrient Concentrations for High Ethanol Production Rate Using Industrial Sugar Beet Molasses and Response Surface Methodology. FERMENTATION-BASEL 2021.

Abstract
Among the various agro-industrial by-products, sugar beet molasses produced by sugar refineries appear as a potential feedstock for ethanol production through yeast fermentation. A response surface methodology (RSM) was developed to better understand the effect of three process parameters (concentration of nutrient, yeast and initial sugar) on the ethanol productivity using diluted sugar beet molasses and Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. The first set of experiments performed at lab-scale indicated that the addition of 4 g/L of nutrient combined with a minimum of 0.2 g/L of yeast as well as a sugar concentration lower than 225 g/L was required to achieve high ethanol productivities (>15 g/L/d). The optimization allowed to considerably reduce the amount of yeast initially introduced in the fermentation substrate while still maximizing both ethanol productivity and yield process responses. Finally, scale-up assays were carried out in 7.5 and 100 L bioreactors using the optimal conditions: 150 g/L of initial sugar concentration, 0.27 g/L of yeast and 4 g/L of nutrient. Within 48 h of incubation, up to 65 g/L of ethanol were produced for both scales, corresponding to an average ethanol yield and sugar utilization rate of 82% and 85%, respectively. The results obtained in this study highlight the use of sugar beet molasses as a low-cost food residue for the sustainable production of bioethanol.

Abstract
β-Glucosidases are a limiting factor for the biomass saccharification. β-Glucosidase was produced from thermophilic fungus Malbranchea pulchella. Enzyme production was optimized using composite central designs and response surface. Optimal production was obtained with 0.6 % cellobiose plus 4.0 % sugarcane bagasse (SCB). Application of Mixture Design with SCB, soybean hull and barley bagasse were tested.
β-Glucosidases are a limiting factor in the conversion of cellulose to glucose for the subsequent ethanol production. Here, β-glucosidase production by Malbranchea pulchella was optimized using Composite Central Designs and Response Surface Methodologies from a medium designed. The coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.9960, F-value was very high, and the lack of fit was found to be non-significant. This indicates a statistic valid and predictive result. M. pulchella enzymatic extract was successfully tested as an enzymatic cocktail in a mixture design using sugarcane bagasse, soybean hull and barley bagasse. We proved that the optimization of the β-glucosidase production and the application in hydrolysis using unexpansive biomass and agricultural wastes can be accomplished by means of statistical methodologies. The strategy presented here can be useful for the improvement of enzyme production and the hydrolysis process, arising as an alternative for bioeconomy.

Abstract
Feather is the main waste of poultry industries and constitutes of 90% keratin. Wastes composed of keratin are insoluble and recalcitrant to degradation using conventional decomposing methods. Microbial degradation for keratinous wastes is a promising approach for being eco-friendly and economically. However, due to insolubility of keratinous waste, it has several challenges in upstream and downstream processes such as culture medium optimization, designing of bioreactor, bioreaction/flow type, bioreactor configurations considering mass and heat transfer limitations, rheology derived problems, monitoring of microbial activity, choosing of the right scale-up parameter and purification. In this study, the challenges for keratin degradation processes were discussed with the aim of opening new opportunities for keratinous waste treatments in industrial level.

Abstract
The application of thermal pretreatments to facilitate its anaerobic digestion has associated phenols and furans production, which are commonly identified as inhibitory compounds. Phenols and furans extraction can be done from a liquid phase produced after the thermal pretreatment. In the present study this dephenolized liquid phase (DLP) showed an increase of 42% in methane yield compared to the raw liquid phase (LP) demonstrating the inhibitor character of such compounds. The main extracted phenols and furans were: 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylglycol (DHPG), Hydroxytyrosol (HT), Tyrosol (Ty), Vanillic acid (AcV), Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), Vanillin (V) and Furfural (F).This study also aimed to evaluate the individual effect on methane production of these specific phenols and furans the within the mixture of several ones from LP. The evaluation of the individual compounds over the methanogenesis of a dephenolized liquid phase showed that only V was inhibitory on both methane yield and methane production rate. HMF had a significantly negative effect on methane yield, but improved the methane production rate instead. Ty, F, DHPG and HT favoured the methane yield and production rate. Additionally, it was observed that negative effect of some individual phenols and furans was counteracted by the positive effect of other compounds.

Abstract
Approximately one third of newly discovered drug molecules show insufficient water solubility and therefore low oral bio-availability. Self-nano-emulsifying drug-delivery systems (SNEDDSs) are one of the emerging strategies developed to tackle the issues associated with their oral delivery. SNEDDSs are composed of an oil phase, surfactant, and cosurfactant or cosolvent. SNEDDSs characteristics, their ability to dissolve a drug, and in vivo considerations are determinant factors in the choice of SNEDDSs excipients. A SNEDDS formulation can be optimized through phase diagram approach or statistical design of experiments. The characterization of SNEDDSs includes multiple orthogonal methods required to fully control SNEDDS manufacture, stability, and biological fate. Encapsulating a drug in SNEDDSs can lead to increased solubilization, stability in the gastro-intestinal tract, and absorption, resulting in enhanced bio-availability. The transformation of liquid SNEDDSs into solid dosage forms has been shown to increase the stability and patient compliance. Supersaturated, mucus-permeating, and targeted SNEDDSs can be developed to increase efficacy and patient compliance. Self-emulsification approach has been successful in oral drug delivery. The present review gives an insight of SNEDDSs for the oral administration of both lipophilic and hydrophilic compounds from the experimental bench to marketed products.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The fermentation medium contains many complex components (vitamins, minerals, etc.) for better growth of the microorganisms. The increasing purity and number of these components used in the medium seriously affect the cost of the microbial process. This study aimed to further optimize the concentration of the components used in the medium (yeast extract and peptone) for inulinase fabrication by Aspergillus niger from sugar-beet molasses in shake flask fermentation by using Central Composite Design (CCD) and to kinetically identify the fermentation. RESULTS The results indicated that the optimal medium composition consisted of only 4.2% (w/v) yeast extract. By using the fermentation environment, the inulinase generation, inulinase/sucrase ratio, maximum inulinase generation rate, maximum sugar depletion rate, and substrate utilization yield were determined as 1294.5 U/mL, 1.2, 159.6 U/mL/day, 7.4 g/L/day, and 98.1%, respectively. The kinetic analysis of the fungal development (logistic model) indicated that a specific development rate and initial biomass concentration were 0.89/day and 1.79 g/L, respectively. Inulinase and sucrase productions are mixed-development associated since the α value ≠ 0 (8.46 and 4.31 U/mgX) and the β value ≠ 0 (5.15 and 4.83 U/mgX day), respectively (Luedeking-Piret model). Besides, the maintenance value (Z) (0.009 gS/gX day) was lower than γ value (1.044 gS/gX), showing that A. niger commonly uses the substrates for enzyme fabrication and fungal development (modified Luedeking-Piret model). CONCLUSIONS The enzyme activity was increased by optimizing the concentration of the components used. It was demonstrated that the proposed kinetic models can victoriously define fungal development, enzyme fabrication, and sugar depletion.

Abstract
Reverse micellar extraction (RME) has emerged as a versatile and efficient tool for downstream processing (DSP) of various biomolecules, including structural proteins and enzymes, due to the substantial advantages over conventional DSP methods. However, the RME system is a complex dependency of several parameters that influences the overall selectivity and performance of the RME system, hence this justifies the need for optimization to obtain higher possible extraction results. For the last two decades, many experimental design strategies for screening and optimization of RME have been described in literature. The objective of this article is to review the use of different experimental designs and response surface methodologies that are currently used to screen and optimize the RME system for various types of biomolecules. Overall, this review provides the rationale for the selection of appropriate screening or optimization techniques for the parameters associated with both forward and backward extraction during the RME of biomolecules.

Abstract
In this study supercritical carbon dioxide (SFE-CO2) and pressurized liquid (PLE) extractions were optimized for the recovery of valuable fractions from blackberry pomace. Consecutively applied SFE-CO2 and PLE at optimized parameters yielded 9.9, 26.3 and 5.1 g/100 g of CO2, ethanol (EtOH) and water-soluble extracts, respectively. Oil of lipophilic fraction was composed mainly of healthy polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic 64.1%, α-linolenic 12.9%), while polar solvents effectively recovered antioxidants (up to 29.1 mg gallic acid and 168.7 mg Trolox equivalents from g pomace). PLE-EtOH extract contained 12.2 mg/g of cyanidin-3-glucoside, while other anthocyanins were detected in significantly lower quantities (0.5-0.7 mg/g). SFE-CO2 and PLE reduced the antioxidant capacity of starting plant material by 86-93%. In terms of extraction time, solvent consumption, total yields, and phytochemical characteristics, high-pressure fractionation was more efficient for obtaining valuable pomace constituents as compared to conventional and enzyme-assisted extractions.

Abstract
1,3-Propanediol (1,3-PDO) has numerous industrial applications in the synthesis of the monomer of the widely used fiber polytrimethylene terephthalate. In this work, the production of 1,3-PDO by Klebsiella pneumoniae is increased by dual-substrate cultivation and fed-batch fermentation. Experimental results indicate that the production of 1,3-PDO can be elevated to 16.09 g/L using a dual substrate ratio (of glucose to crude glycerol) of 1/30 and to 20.73 g/L using an optimized dual-substrate ratio of 1/20. Ultimately, the optimal dual-substrate feeding for a 5 L scale fed-batch fermenter that maximizes 1,3-PDO production (29.69 g/L) is determined. This production yield is better than that reported in most related studies. Eventually, the molecular weight and chemical structure of 1,3-PDO were obtained by FAB-MS, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR. Also, in demonstrating the effectiveness of the fermentation strategy in increasing the production and production yield of 1,3-PDO, experimental results indicate that the fermentation of 1,3-PDO is highly promising for commercialization.

Abstract
Actinobacteria, in particular "rare actinobacteria" isolated from extreme ecosystems, remain the most inexhaustible source of novel antimicrobials, offering a chance to discover new bioactive metabolites. This is the first overview on actinobacteria isolated in Algeria since 2002 to date with the aim to present their potential in producing bioactive secondary metabolites. Twenty-nine new species and one novel genus have been isolated, mainly from the Saharan soil and palm groves, where 37.93% of the most abundant genera belong to Saccharothrix and Actinopolyspora. Several of these strains were found to produce antibiotics and antifungal metabolites, including 17 new molecules among the 50 structures reported, and some of these antibacterial metabolites have shown interesting antitumor activities. A series of approaches used to enhance the production of bioactive compounds is also presented as the manipulation of culture media by both classical methods and modeling designs through statistical strategies and the associations with diverse organisms and strains. Focusing on the Algerian natural sources of antimicrobial metabolites, this work is a representative example of the potential of a closely combined study on biology and chemistry of natural products.

Abstract
Coffee parchment is one of the less studied coffee by-products, being rich in phenolic compounds. The objective of this study was to revalorise coffee parchment, obtaining aqueous extracts rich in phenolic compounds, optimising the extraction conditions using response surface methodology and comprehensively characterising the obtained extracts. A Box-Behnken design was used to maximise the recovery of total phenolic compounds, total flavonoids, total flavanols, total phenolic acids, and total ortho-diphenols, and the antioxidant capacity of coffee parchment extracts. The main factor influencing phenolic compound extraction was temperature, followed by solid-to-solvent ratio and acidity. Optimised heat-assisted extraction conditions were 100 °C, 90 min, 0% citric acid, and 0.02 g mL-1 solid-to-solvent ratio. Under these conditions, the concentrations of phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity were equivalent to those expected, allowing us to validate the model. The UPLC-ESI-MS/MS phenolic profile exhibited the occurrence of 13 phenolic compounds, with those shown in higher concentrations being chlorogenic acid, vanillic acid, protocatechuic acid, and p-coumaric acid. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the potential application of a useful, clean, environmentally friendly and cost-effective method to recover phenolic compounds from coffee parchment and, thus, to revalorize the by-product by converting it into high-added value new products to be used in the food and cosmetic industries.

Abstract
The development of in vitro propagation methods can improve the current commercial use and conservation of plants like naranjilla (Solanum quitoense), a distinctive Andean crop and key emerging agricultural product. In the present study, we report in vitro culture protocols for naranjilla apical buds, hypocotyls and petioles. In apical bud culture, MS medium supplemented with 0.10 mg l-1 1-naphtaleneacetic acid (NAA) produced longer plantlets with greater number of leaves. Hypocotyl culture yielded higher number of shoots when using older explants in MS medium supplemented with different combinations of NAA, 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and gibberellic acid (GA3). Petiole culture produced a significantly higher number of shoots per explant, with more abundant and bigger leaves, when using MS medium supplemented with 0.02 mg l-1 NAA, 4.50 mg l-1 BAP and 1.00 mg l-1 GA3. A factorial analysis reveals that the interaction between GA3 and NAA/BAP plays an important role in shoot regeneration. These results provide new tools for the in vitro regeneration of naranjilla plants, improving on previously reported protocols for this species by using alternative explant types and regeneration protocols.

Abstract
Endo-glucanase (cellulase) and xylanase have high industrial demand due to their vast application in industrial processes. This study reports statistical based experimental optimization for co-production of endo-glucanase and xylanase from Bacillus sonorensis BD92. Response surface methodology (RSM) involving central composite design (CCD) with full factorial experiments (23) was applied to elucidate the components that significantly affect co-production of endo-glucanase and xylanase. The optimum co-production conditions for endo-glucanase and xylanase were as follows: carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) 20 g/L, yeast extract 15 g/L, and time 72 h. The maximum endo-glucanase and xylanase production obtained was 1.46 and 5.69 U/mL, respectively, while the minimum endo-glucanase and xylanase production obtained was 0.66 and 0.25 U/mL, respectively. This statistical model was efficient because only 20 experimental runs were necessary to assess the highest production conditions, and the model accuracy was very satisfactory as coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.95 and 0.89 for endo-glucanase and xylanase, respectively. Further, potential application of these enzymes for saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass (wheat bran, wheat straw, rice straw, and cotton stalk) was also investigated. The results revealed that the biomass was susceptible to enzymatic saccharification and the amount of reducing sugars (glucose and xylose) increased with increase in incubation time. In conclusion, Bacillus sonorensis BD92 reveals a promise as a source of potential endo-glucanase and xylanase producer that could be useful for degrading plant biomass into value-added products of economic importance using precise statistically optimized conditions.

Abstract
Using lignocellulosic residues for bioethanol production could provide an alternative solution to current approaches at competitive costs once challenges related to substrate recalcitrance, process complexity and limited knowledge are overcome. Thus, the impact of different process variables on the ethanol production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae using the hemicellulosic fraction extracted through the steam-treatment of softwood chips mixed with construction and demolition residues was assessed. A statistical design of experiments approach was developed and implemented in order to identify the influencing factors (various nutrient addition sources as well as yeast inoculum growth conditions and inoculation strategies) relevant for enhancing the ethanol production potential and substrate uptake. Ethanol yields of 74.12% and monomeric sugar uptakes of 82.12 g/L were predicted and experimentally confirmed in bench and bioreactor systems. This innovative approach revealed the factors impacting the ethanol yields and carbohydrate consumption allowing powerful behavioral predictions spanning different process inputs and outputs.

Abstract
The formulation of an oil/water (o/w) emulsion made up of a mixture of perilla
oil and canola oil (30/70 w/w) was optimized using a response surface
methodology to find a replacement for animal fat in an emulsion-type meat
product. A 12 run Plackett-Burman design (PBD) was applied to screen the effect
of potential ingredients in the (o/w) emulsion, including polyglycerol
polyricinoleate (PGPR), fish gelatin, soy protein isolate (SPI), sodium
caseinate, carrageenan (CR), inulin (IN) and sodium tripolyphosphate. The PBD
showed that SPI, CR and IN showed promise but required further optimization, and
other ingredients did not affect the technological properties of the (o/w)
emulsion. The PBD also showed that PGPR played a critical role in inhibiting an
emulsion break. The level of PGPR was then fixed at 3.2% (w/w total emulsion)
for an optimization study. A central composite design (CCD) was applied to
optimize the addition levels of SPI, CR or IN in an (o/w) emulsion and to
observe their effects on emulsion stability, cooking loss and the textural
properties of a cooked meat emulsion. Significant interactions between SPI and
CR increased the cooking loss in the meat emulsion. In contrast, IN showed
interactions with SPI leading to a reduction in cooking loss. Thus, CR was also
removed from the formulation. After optimization, the level of SPI (4.48% w/w)
and IN (14% w/w) was validated, leading to a perilla-canola oil (o/w) emulsion
with the ability to replace animal fat in an emulsion-type meat products.
