This study aimed to enhance inulinase production from agricultural biomass pretreated with deep eutectic solvents (DES) using Aspergillus niger A42 (ATCC 204447). Barley husk (BH), wheat bran (WB), and oat husk (OH) were selected as substrates and were pretreated using different molar ratios of choline chloride: glycerol (ChCl: Gly) and choline chloride: acetic acid (ChCl: AA). DES pretreatment was followed by dilute sulfuric acid hydrolysis.

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.

This study aimed to the production of inulinase and fructooligosaccharides (FOSs) from carob under the solid-state fermentation (SSF) conditions by using Plackett-Burman Design (PBD). Based on the results the maximum inulinase and specific inulinase activities were 249.98 U/mL and 318.

Hyaluronic acid (HA), a mucopolysaccharide belonging to the glycosaminoglycan family, consists of repeating disaccharide units and has been used directly or indirectly in numerous human health practices. This study focused on evaluating carob pods for microbial HA production and kinetic modeling of HA fermentation. Therefore, the optimal medium composition was determined using Plackett-Burman Design (PBD) for HA production from carob extract with Streptococcus zooepidemicus.

The present work aimed to model Aspergillus niger inulinase fermentation performed in the medium using sigmoidal functions, validate the selected models using an independent set of the experimental values, and perform a sensitivity analysis of the selected models. Based on the results, the selected models were Stannard and Fitzhugh models for substrate consumption (R = 0.9976 and 0.
