This study describes optimization of polygalacturonase (PG) production using Bacillus subtilis in submerged fermentation by Plackett-Burman (PB) design and response surface methodology (RSM). Five variables (pH, time, temperature, yeast extract concentration and K2HPO4), which were determined to be significant by the PB analysis, were further optimized using Box-Behnken response surface method. The optimization results indicated that a maximal PG activity of 5.60 U mL(-1) was achieved at pH 7.0, 72 h, and 30 degrees C using 0.5% (w/v) yeast extract and 0.02% (w/v) K2HPO4 in the fermentation medium. The results implied a 2.7-fold increase in PG activity of B. subtilis under the optimized conditions. Thus, it was concluded that hazelnut shell hydrolyzate have remarkable potential for low cost commercial PG production.

Optimising clarification of carrot juice by bacterial crude pectinase
Uzuner, Sibel; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz (2015-12-01)
This study was undertaken to search for potential use of crude bacterial pectinase enzyme produced from Bacillus subtilis grown on hazelnut shell hydrolysate in clarification of carrot juice and to optimize the enzyme load, pH and time using the Box-Behnken response surface methodology (RSM). The carrot juice was treated with the crude pectinase enzyme (5.60 U mL(-1)) at different concentrations (0.1-0.5%), pH (4-7), and time (2-6 h). The obtained enzyme was also compared with commercial fungal pectinase at...
An attempt to minimize the cost of extracting lithium from boron clays through robust process design
Buyukburc, A; Köksal, Gülser (2005-06-01)
In this study a robust design method is developed for extracting Li from boron (B) clays with the aim of minimizing cost and maximizing productivity. Lithium is commercially extracted from brines and certain minerals. Its extraction from clays has previously been found to be expensive, a major part of the extraction cost being attributed to the raw materials used. In this study, raw materials from lower-cost resources are used without applying any standardization to them and this might increase variation in...
Improved oil recovery using alkaline solutions in limestone medium
Turksoy, U; Bağcı, Ali Suat (2000-05-01)
In this study, the effect of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (NaSiO4) solutions for the improved oil recovery of Garzan (26 API degrees) and Raman (17.2 API degrees) crude oils with variable salinity of the alkaline solutions, and the effect of injection flow rate at the salinity values of the alkaline solutions that yielded maximum oil recovery for both crude oils has been investigated using a one-dimensional unconsolidated limestone reservoir model. As the previous study, the interfacial tensi...
Comparison of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) Models in Simulating Polygalacturonase Production
UZUNER, SİBEL; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz (2016-11-01)
The artificial neural network (ANN) method was used in comparison with the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to describe polygalacturonase (PG) production by Bacillus subtilis in submerged fermentation. ANN was evaluated with five neurons in the input layer, one hidden layer with 7 neurons, and one neuron in the output layer. Five fermentation variables (pH, temperature, time, yeast extract concentration, and K2HPO4 concentration) served as the input of the ANN and ANFIS models, and the polygala...
Recovery of strawberry aroma compounds by pervaporation
Isci, A; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (Elsevier BV, 2006-07-01)
The main objective of this study was to determine the effects of feed temperature (30, 40, 50 degrees C), concentration (50, 100, 150 ppm), composition (different strawberry model solutions) and permeate pressure (4, 8 mbar) on recovery of strawberry aroma compounds by pervaporation. Pervaporation was performed using a hydrophobic membrane, PERVAP 1070 (PDMS). As the feed temperature increased or downstream pressure decreased, the mass flux and selectivity increased in pervaporation of methyl butyrate (MTB)...
