Optimization of ultrasonic circulating extraction of polysaccharides from Asparagus officinalis using response surface methodology

Polysaccharides were extracted from Asparagus officinalis. A novel ultrasonic circulating extraction (UCE) technology was applied for the polysaccharide extraction. Three-factor-three-level Box-Behnken design was employed to optimize ultrasonic power, extraction time and the liquid-solid ratio to obtain a high polysaccharide yield. The optimal extraction conditions were as follows: ultrasonic power was 600 W, extraction time was 46 min, the liquid-solid ratio was 35 mL/g. Under these conditions, the experimental yield of polysaccharides was 3.134%, which was agreed closely to the predicted value. The average molecular weight of A. officinalis polysaccharide was about 6.18 × 10⁴ Da. The polysaccharides were composed of glucose, fucose, arabinose, galactose and rhamnose in a ratio of 2.18:1.86:1.50:0.98:1.53. Compared with hot water extraction (HWE), UCE showed time-saving, higher yield and no influence on the structure of asparagus polysaccharides. The results indicated that ultrasonic circulating extraction technology could be an effective and advisable technique for the large scale production of plant polysaccharides.

Copper biosorption on Lyngbya putealis: Application of response surface methodology (RSM)

The potential use of biosorbent prepared from an indigenously isolated cyanobacterium, Lyngbya putealis, for the removal of copper from aqueous solution has been investigated under optimized conditions in this study. Batch mode experiments were performed to determine the adsorption equilibrium and kinetic behavior of copper in aqueous solution allowing the computation of kinetic parameters and maximum metal adsorption capacity. Influences of other parameters like initial metal ion concentration (10-100 mg l⁻¹), pH (2-8) and biosorbent dose (0.1-1.0 g/100 ml) on copper adsorption were also examined, using Box-Behnken design matrix. Very high regression coefficient between the variables and the response (R² = 0.9533) indicates excellent evaluation of experimental data by second order polynomial regression model. The response surface method indicated that 40-50 mg l⁻¹ initial copper concentration, 6.0-6.5 pH and biosorbent dose of 0.6-0.8 g/100 ml were optimal for biosorption of copper by biosorbent prepared from L. putealis. On the basis of experimental results and model parameters, it can be inferred that the biosorbent which has quite high biosorption capacity can be utilized for the removal of copper from aqueous solution.     

Optimization of growth media for obtaining high-cell density cultures of halophilic archaea (family Halobacteriaceae) by response surface methodology

Optimization of media components for the growth and biomass production of Halobacterium salinarum VKMM 013 was carried out using response surface methodology. A second order quadratic model was estimated and media components were determined based on quadratic regression equation generated by model. These were 6.35 g L⁻¹ of KCl, 9.70 g L⁻¹ of MgSO₄, 13.38 g L⁻¹ of gelatin and 12.00 g L⁻¹ of soluble starch in nutrient broth supplemented with artificial seawater with 20% (w/v) of NaCl. In these optimal conditions, the obtained cell concentration of 0.746 g L⁻¹ dry weight was in agreement with the predicted cell concentration. The optimized media significantly shortened the time required for cell culture to reach the stationary phase while providing a nearly 2.4-fold increase in biomass production. Furthermore, in cell cultures of three other halophilic archaea the use of optimized media enhanced growth rate and provided high-cell density.

Optimization of critical medium components using response surface methodology for biomass and extracellular polysaccharide production by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Agaricus blazei</Emphasis>

Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize the critical medium ingredients of Agaricus blazei. A three-level Box–Behnken factorial design was employed to determine the maximum biomass and extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) yields at optimum levels for glucose, yeast extract (YE), and peptone. A mathematical model was then developed to show the effect of each medium composition and its interactions on the production of mycelial biomass and EPS. The model predicted the maximum biomass yield of 10.86 g/l that appeared at glucose, YE, peptone of 26.3, 6.84, and 6.62 g/l, respectively, while a maximum EPS yield of 348.4 mg/l appeared at glucose, YE, peptone of 28.4, 4.96, 5.60 g/l, respectively. These predicted values were also verified by validation experiments. The excellent correlation between predicted and measured values of each model justifies the validity of both the response models. The results of bioreactor fermentation also show that the optimized culture medium enhanced both biomass (13.91 ± 0.71 g/l) and EPS (363 ± 4.1 mg/l) production by Agaricus blazei in a large-scale fermentation process.

Optimization of ultrasonic-stimulated solvent extraction of sinigrin from Indian mustard seed (Brassica Juncea L.) using response surface methodology

Introduction – Sinigrin, a major glucosinolate present in Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) seeds as the precursor of the anticancer compound allyl isothiocyanate, shows a wide range of biological activities. It's necessary to optimize the extraction methods and conditions, in order to improve the extraction productivity and save raw material. Objective – To systemically investigate and optimize the most important factors affected the productivity of sinigrin in the process of extraction using response surface methodology. Methodology – The ranges of three main factors including the ethanol concentration, extraction time and extraction temperature were selected by the one‐factor‐at‐a‐time method. The conditions of ultrasonic‐stimulated extraction of sinigrin from defatted Indian mustard seed powder were optimized by Box‐Behnken design to obtain the maximum productivity. Result – The predicted productivity (3.81%) was obtained using 57% ethanol concentration at 81°C for 60 min, with the coefficient of the model R² > 0.96 (n = 17). The actual productivity (3.84 ± 0.02%) of sinigrin under the optimized condition was increased by 70.67% compared with the result of conventional extraction. Meanwhile, HPLC, UV and IR were applied to examine if there is a difference between the ultrasonic‐stimulated solvent extraction and conventional extraction, and the improvement of productivity of sinigrin depended on the destruction of cell wall caused by the elimination of outer pectinous material was explained by SEM and composition content analysis. Conclusion – The ultrasonic‐stimulated solvent extraction was suggested to be a promising method to improve the productivity of sinigrin. And the results demonstrated that sinigrin productivity may be related to pectinous materials existed in the seeds. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
