Optimization of 4,6-α and 4,3-α-Glucanotransferase Production in and Determination of Their Effects on Some Quality Characteristics of Bakery Products.

In this study, the production of 4,6-α (4,6-α-GTase) and 4,3-α-glucanotransferase (4,3-α-GTase), expressed previously in , was optimized and these enzymes were used to investigate glycemic index reduction and staling delay in bakery products. HP-SEC analysis showed that the relevant enzymes were able to produce oligosaccharides from potato starch or malto-oligosaccharides. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to optimize enzyme synthesis and the highest enzyme activities of 15.

A novel Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strain: probiotic properties and optimization of the growth conditions by response surface methodology.

The objective of this study is to explore the probiotic properties and optimal growth conditions of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum BG24. L. plantarum BG24 exhibited a remarkable ability to utilize lactose, and to grow under acidic conditions and in the presence of high levels of bile salts.

Citric acid production by a novel autochthonous Candida zeylanoides isolate: optimization of process parameters.

In this study, citric acid (CA) production by autochthonous Candida zeylanoides 7.12 was investigated and optimized. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used for the analysis of simultaneous effects of the chosen factors and 2 experiment designs were applied.

Natural Red Pigment Production by in Submerged Fermentation Systems Using a Food Industry Waste: Brewer's Spent Grain.

This paper studies the production of natural red pigments by CMU001 in the submerged fermentation system using a brewery waste hydrolysate, brewer's spent grain (BSG). The chemical, structural and elemental characterization of the BSG was performed with Van-Soest method, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. The lignocellulosic structure of BSG was hydrolyzed with a dilute sulfuric acid solution (2% (/)) followed by detoxification with Ca(OH).

Levan production by Zymomonas mobilis in batch and continuous fermentation systems.

Levan production in batch and continuous fermentation systems by Zymomonas mobilis B-14023 was investigated. The culture medium used in both of the fermentation systems contained sucrose and various organic nitrogen sources. Maximum concentration of levan was produced with yeast extract among the nitrogen sources tested.

Aspartic proteinases from Mucor spp. in cheese manufacturing.

Filamentous fungi belonging to the order of Mucorales are well known as producers of aspartic proteinases depicting milk-clotting activity. The biosynthesis level, the biochemical characteristics, and the technological properties of the resulting proteinases are affected by the producer strain and the mode of cultivation. While the milk-clotting enzymes produced by the Rhizomucor spp.

Biosorption of cadmium and lead ions by ethanol treated waste baker's yeast biomass.

The biosorption of cadmium and lead ions from artificial aqueous solutions using waste baker's yeast biomass was investigated. The yeast cells were treated with caustic, ethanol and heat for increasing their biosorption capacity and the highest metal uptake values (15.63 and 17.

Production of beta-carotene from beet molasses by Blakeslea trispora in stirred-tank and bubble column reactors: development of a mathematical modeling.

The effect of aeration rate and agitation speed on beta-carotene production from molasses by Blakeslea trispora in a stirred-tank fermentor and optimization of the production of the pigment in a bubble column reactor were investigated. In addition, a central composite design was employed to determine the maximum beta-carotene concentration at optimum values for the process variables (aeration rate, sugar concentration, linoleic acid, kerosene). By image analysis of the morphology of the fungus, a quantitative characterization of the hyphae and zygospores formed was obtained.
