Establishing Optimal Dehydration Process Parameters for Papaya By EmployingA ...IJERA Editor
This study employs a Firefly Algorithm (FA) to determine the optimal osmotic dehydration parameters for papaya. The functional form of the osmotic dehydration model is established via a standard response surface technique. The format of the resulting optimization model to be solved is a non-linear goal programming problem. While various alternate solution approaches are possible, an FA-driven procedure is employed. For optimization purposes, it has been demonstrated that the FA is more computationally efficient than other such commonly-used metaheuristics as genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, and enhanced particle swarm optimization. Hence, the FA approach is a very computationally efficient procedure. It can be shown that the resulting solution determined for the osmotic process parameters is superior to those from all previous approaches.

Foam fractionation as a means to recover and fractionate bioactiveseSAT Journals
Abstract In this research, the optimum conditions for the separation of polyphenols from apple juice (AJ) and the separation of BSA from a BSA/water solution were found by looking at the enrichment ratio (ER) and recovery. A mixture of the AJ and BSA was also studied to see how the different conditions affect separation of either compound. For AJ only, maximum ER was achieved at a feed concentration of 0.00184mg/mL of polyphenols (10.9˚Brix), air flowrate of 10mL/min, pH of 6.03 and temperature of 4.1˚C. For the BSA only solution, maximum ER was achieved at a feed concentration of 2.5g/L, air flowrate of 7mL/min, pH of 5-6 and temperature either above or below 20˚C. For the mixture, maximum polyphenol ER was at a feed polyphenol concentration of 0.0018mg/mL, feed BSA concentration of 5g/L and a pH of 3.7. Whereas maximum BSA ER was achieved when the feed polyphenol concentration was again 0.00184mg/mL, but a minimum was seen at 5g/L BSA feed concentration and pH of 3.7. These results show that there are interactions between the polyphenol and proteins that affects the separation of compounds. The bubble size distribution and gas hold-up of the AJ and BSA solutions were then compared and the BSA solution had larger bubbles present and a greater gas hold-up, which is attributed to the greater surface activity of BSA protein. Finally basic modelling – linear regression, was performed to link the ER to the different conditions tested. The models were judged by comparing R2 values, the F-statistic and the p-value and all showed weak relationships between the ER and the independent variables. Further data is required to improve the model as from previous literatures these variables have been seen to contribute to adsorption, which in turn affects the ER.
Qualitative Evaluation and Wound Healing Potential of Selected Medicinal Plan...BRNSS Publication Hub
Objective: The aim of the paper was to assess the wound healing potential of three medicinal plants using the excision wound healing model on albino rat. Materials and Methods: Soxhlet extraction method was utilized for the partition of the constituent of interest. Qualitative analysis and phytochemical screening were performed for the detection of tannins, alkaloids, resins, flavonoids, glycosides, steroids, proteins, carbohydrates, and amino acids. Three plants extract used for the ointment formulation and prepared by the addition of extract of Artocarpus heterophyllus, Murraya koenigii, and Punica granatum in polyethylene glycol ointment base. Three ointment formulations and six extracts with 5% and 10% extract concentration have been used. Excision wound rat model utilized for the wound healing potential. Results and Conclusion: All three plants, including A. heterophyllus Lam., M. koenigii Linn., and P. granatum Linn. extracted for the active constituent. The pharmacological evaluation on the excision wound healing model suggested that Group-I animals showed 52.09% of healing, whereas povidone-iodine treated animals showed 100.00% healing. On the other hand, the ointment formulation treated F-1 showed 96.47% of wound healing, F-2 showed 97.68% healing, and F-3 showed 99.11% healing. The overall healing results can be represented as following: Control <MKL5 <MKL10 <PGB5 <PGB10 <AHP5 <AHP10 <F-1 <F-2 <F-3 <Standard. F3 ointment formulation is better than the F2 and F1 formulation in wound healing potential as compared to others. Discussion: These studies have indicated that ointment formulations of A. heterophyllus, M. koenigii, P. granatum have been utilized for wound healing potential and it is safer for topical application. Excision wound healing model suggested that the three individual plant extract has shown the wound healing potential, although the prepared ointment formulations F3 have best and synergistic action than the individual. The ointment formulations containing plant extracts in 10% amount have better wound healing potential.

In this study, a set of novel synthesized indole훽- diketo acid, diketo acid and carboxamide
derivativeswas investigated by quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) analysis using semiempirical
(PM3) based descriptors. The best molecular descriptors identified were LogP, polar area
corresponding to absolute values of electrostatic potential greater than 75 (P-area(75)), Energy (E), Minimum
values of electrostatic potential (as mapped onto an electron density surface) (MinEIPot), Polar surface area
and Maximum values of electrostatic potential (as mapped onto an electron density surface) (MaxEIPot) that
contributed to the anti-HIV activity of the indole훽- diketo acid, diketo acid and carboxamide derivatives as
independent factors. The correlation of these descriptors with their anti-HIV activity increases indicating their
importance in studying biological activity. Quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) analysis was
applied to 37 of the above mentioned derivatives using physicochemical and structural molecular descriptors
obtained by the semi-empirical method by employing PM3 basis set. By using the multiple linear regression
(MLR) technique several QSAR models have been drown up with the help these calculated descriptors and the
anti-HIV activity of indole훽- diketo acid, diketo acid and carboxamide derivatives. The regression method was
used to derive the most significant models as a calibration model for predicting the LogIC50 of this class of
compounds. Among the obtained QSAR models presented in the study from the MLR method, statistically the
most significant one is the last model with the squared correlation coefficient 0.8932, Q = 3.1854 and F=
27.8644 that could be useful to predict the biological activity of indole훽- diketo acid, diketo acid and carboxamide derivatives as Potent HIV-1 Drugs.

Phytochemical Studies on Linum Usitatissimum Seeds and the Nanoformulation of...Editor IJCATR
The phytochemical investigation of Linum usitatissimum, family Linaceae, resulted in the separation and
identification of a lignane, 8–5' neolignan 1 (dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol-4-β-D-glucoside), in addition to
identification of many compounds by the GC/MS technique. The antimicrobial activities of hexane, methylene
chloride and butanol fractions were comparable to ampicillin. The activities against E. coli were 29.2%, 37.5%,
and 66.7%, respectively; against S. aureus were 45.4%, 36.4% and 63.6%, respectively, and against C. albicans
were 26.9%, 46.1% and 73.1%, respectively. Antioxidant activity was assessed by ABTS method. It decreased
in the following order: ascorbic acid > butanol fraction > methylene chloride fraction > hexane fraction. The
cytotoxicity against HePG2 was found to be “moderate” for butanol and methylene chloride fractions, and
“weak” for the hexane fraction. The cytotoxicity against MCF-7 was found to be “strong” for butanol fraction,
and “weak” for both hexane and methylene chloride fractions. The lignane-rich subfraction, Lu 3d was
incorporated into pluronic nano-micelles using nanoprecipitation technique through a modified procedure.
The physicochemical characteristics of the developed Lu 3d-loaded nano-micelles such as particle size,
potential and morphology were determined using DLS and HR-TEM. The average diameters of the prepared
plain and Lu 3d-loaded pluronic nano-micelles were found to be 207 ± 12 and 225 ± 18 nm, respectively. The
encapsulation of Lu 3d into nano-sized particles has enhanced their aqueous dissolution and consequently
improved their bioavailability. Nanoformulation of Lu 3d led also to a stable colloidal dispersion with a strong
green color, indicating its homogenous distribution in the aqueous medium at a significantly higher
concentration than that obtained using other solvents.

Foam fractionation as a means to recover and fractionate bioactiveseSAT Journals
Abstract In this research, the optimum conditions for the separation of polyphenols from apple juice (AJ) and the separation of BSA from a BSA/water solution were found by looking at the enrichment ratio (ER) and recovery. A mixture of the AJ and BSA was also studied to see how the different conditions affect separation of either compound. For AJ only, maximum ER was achieved at a feed concentration of 0.00184mg/mL of polyphenols (10.9˚Brix), air flowrate of 10mL/min, pH of 6.03 and temperature of 4.1˚C. For the BSA only solution, maximum ER was achieved at a feed concentration of 2.5g/L, air flowrate of 7mL/min, pH of 5-6 and temperature either above or below 20˚C. For the mixture, maximum polyphenol ER was at a feed polyphenol concentration of 0.0018mg/mL, feed BSA concentration of 5g/L and a pH of 3.7. Whereas maximum BSA ER was achieved when the feed polyphenol concentration was again 0.00184mg/mL, but a minimum was seen at 5g/L BSA feed concentration and pH of 3.7. These results show that there are interactions between the polyphenol and proteins that affects the separation of compounds. The bubble size distribution and gas hold-up of the AJ and BSA solutions were then compared and the BSA solution had larger bubbles present and a greater gas hold-up, which is attributed to the greater surface activity of BSA protein. Finally basic modelling – linear regression, was performed to link the ER to the different conditions tested. The models were judged by comparing R2 values, the F-statistic and the p-value and all showed weak relationships between the ER and the independent variables. Further data is required to improve the model as from previous literatures these variables have been seen to contribute to adsorption, which in turn affects the ER.
Qualitative Evaluation and Wound Healing Potential of Selected Medicinal Plan...BRNSS Publication Hub
Objective: The aim of the paper was to assess the wound healing potential of three medicinal plants using the excision wound healing model on albino rat. Materials and Methods: Soxhlet extraction method was utilized for the partition of the constituent of interest. Qualitative analysis and phytochemical screening were performed for the detection of tannins, alkaloids, resins, flavonoids, glycosides, steroids, proteins, carbohydrates, and amino acids. Three plants extract used for the ointment formulation and prepared by the addition of extract of Artocarpus heterophyllus, Murraya koenigii, and Punica granatum in polyethylene glycol ointment base. Three ointment formulations and six extracts with 5% and 10% extract concentration have been used. Excision wound rat model utilized for the wound healing potential. Results and Conclusion: All three plants, including A. heterophyllus Lam., M. koenigii Linn., and P. granatum Linn. extracted for the active constituent. The pharmacological evaluation on the excision wound healing model suggested that Group-I animals showed 52.09% of healing, whereas povidone-iodine treated animals showed 100.00% healing. On the other hand, the ointment formulation treated F-1 showed 96.47% of wound healing, F-2 showed 97.68% healing, and F-3 showed 99.11% healing. The overall healing results can be represented as following: Control <MKL5 <MKL10 <PGB5 <PGB10 <AHP5 <AHP10 <F-1 <F-2 <F-3 <Standard. F3 ointment formulation is better than the F2 and F1 formulation in wound healing potential as compared to others. Discussion: These studies have indicated that ointment formulations of A. heterophyllus, M. koenigii, P. granatum have been utilized for wound healing potential and it is safer for topical application. Excision wound healing model suggested that the three individual plant extract has shown the wound healing potential, although the prepared ointment formulations F3 have best and synergistic action than the individual. The ointment formulations containing plant extracts in 10% amount have better wound healing potential.

A Semi-empirical based QSAR study of indole휷- Diketo acid, Diketo acid and Ca...iosrjce
In this study, a set of novel synthesized indole훽- diketo acid, diketo acid and carboxamide
derivativeswas investigated by quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) analysis using semiempirical
(PM3) based descriptors. The best molecular descriptors identified were LogP, polar area
corresponding to absolute values of electrostatic potential greater than 75 (P-area(75)), Energy (E), Minimum
values of electrostatic potential (as mapped onto an electron density surface) (MinEIPot), Polar surface area
and Maximum values of electrostatic potential (as mapped onto an electron density surface) (MaxEIPot) that
contributed to the anti-HIV activity of the indole훽- diketo acid, diketo acid and carboxamide derivatives as
independent factors. The correlation of these descriptors with their anti-HIV activity increases indicating their
importance in studying biological activity. Quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) analysis was
applied to 37 of the above mentioned derivatives using physicochemical and structural molecular descriptors
obtained by the semi-empirical method by employing PM3 basis set. By using the multiple linear regression
(MLR) technique several QSAR models have been drown up with the help these calculated descriptors and the
anti-HIV activity of indole훽- diketo acid, diketo acid and carboxamide derivatives. The regression method was
used to derive the most significant models as a calibration model for predicting the LogIC50 of this class of
compounds. Among the obtained QSAR models presented in the study from the MLR method, statistically the
most significant one is the last model with the squared correlation coefficient 0.8932, Q = 3.1854 and F=
27.8644 that could be useful to predict the biological activity of indole훽- diketo acid, diketo acid and carboxamide derivatives as Potent HIV-1 Drugs.

Phytochemical Studies on Linum Usitatissimum Seeds and the Nanoformulation of...Editor IJCATR
The phytochemical investigation of Linum usitatissimum, family Linaceae, resulted in the separation and
identification of a lignane, 8–5' neolignan 1 (dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol-4-β-D-glucoside), in addition to
identification of many compounds by the GC/MS technique. The antimicrobial activities of hexane, methylene
chloride and butanol fractions were comparable to ampicillin. The activities against E. coli were 29.2%, 37.5%,
and 66.7%, respectively; against S. aureus were 45.4%, 36.4% and 63.6%, respectively, and against C. albicans
were 26.9%, 46.1% and 73.1%, respectively. Antioxidant activity was assessed by ABTS method. It decreased
in the following order: ascorbic acid > butanol fraction > methylene chloride fraction > hexane fraction. The
cytotoxicity against HePG2 was found to be “moderate” for butanol and methylene chloride fractions, and
“weak” for the hexane fraction. The cytotoxicity against MCF-7 was found to be “strong” for butanol fraction,
and “weak” for both hexane and methylene chloride fractions. The lignane-rich subfraction, Lu 3d was
incorporated into pluronic nano-micelles using nanoprecipitation technique through a modified procedure.
The physicochemical characteristics of the developed Lu 3d-loaded nano-micelles such as particle size,
potential and morphology were determined using DLS and HR-TEM. The average diameters of the prepared
plain and Lu 3d-loaded pluronic nano-micelles were found to be 207 ± 12 and 225 ± 18 nm, respectively. The
encapsulation of Lu 3d into nano-sized particles has enhanced their aqueous dissolution and consequently
improved their bioavailability. Nanoformulation of Lu 3d led also to a stable colloidal dispersion with a strong
green color, indicating its homogenous distribution in the aqueous medium at a significantly higher
concentration than that obtained using other solvents.

FEASIBILITY STUDY OF TREATMENT OF EFFLUENT FROM A BULK DRUG MANUFACTURING IND...Journal For Research
A study has been carried out on aerobic biological treatment of a bulk drug industrial effluent which is highly acidic in nature and shows high value of BOD5 (≈ 36000 mg/l), COD (≈ 84000 mg/l). Chemical treatment conducted for neutralizing the pH followed by biological treatment using a lab-scale reactor with acclimatized bacterial consortia isolated from natural soil has confirmed its feasibility for biological treatment. About 99% removal of COD from starting value of around 8000 mg/l has been achieved. The COD value in different hydraulic retention time (HRT) has been brought down to less than 100 mg/l in treated effluent, showing high removal of dissolved organics by aerobic biological treatment.
Influence of carbon sources on α amylase production by brevibacillus sp. unde...eSAT Journals
Abstract Numerous marine microorganisms secrete enzymes which can provide new insights and understanding of enzymes. Marine microorganisms have been attracting more attention as source for novel enzymes. Secondary screening is strictly essential in any systematic screening programme which helps in detection of useful bacteria in fermentation processes. Secondary screening also provides information pertaining to the effect of different components of the medium. This is valuable in designing the medium that may be attractive as far as economic consideration is concerned. Natural carbon source, Saccharum officinarum (5%) produced maximum α-amylase while Triticum vulgare (4%) produced very low α-amylase. Synthetic carbon source when supplemented with maltose (1%) and sucrose (4%) regulated higher production of amylase. Starch (2%), dextrose (3%) and galactose (4%) exhibited average effect on production whereas lactose (3%) and mannitol (3%) decreased production. The α-amylase was found to have many applications in the field of starch processing, textile industry, improving shelf life of bread, ethanol production, sewage treatment and effluent treatment.

Abstract— The Firefly Algorithm (FA) is employed to determine the optimal parameter settings in a case study of the osmotic dehydration process of mushrooms. In the case, the functional form of the dehydration model is established through a response surface technique and the resulting mathematical programming is formulated as a non-linear goal programming model. For optimization purposes, a computationally efficient, FA-driven method is used and the resulting optimal process parameters are shown to be superior to those from previous approaches.

Response surface methodology was engaged for the optimization of diverse nutritional and physical parameters for laccase production by Streptomyces chartreusis strain NBRC 12753 in the submerged fermentation process. Screening of production parameters was executed using Plackett–Burman design and the variables with statistically momentous effects on laccase production were recognized. Variables such as Cupric sulphate, Pyrogallol and Yeast extract were selected for further optimization studies using Box-Behnken design. The multiple regression coefficients (R2) had a value of 0.9606, indicating that the model could explain up to 96.06 % of the variability of the response. This methodology facilitated analysis of the experimental data to establish the optimum conditions for the process and understand the contribution of individual factors to evaluate the response under optimal conditions. Thus application of Box-Behnken approach appears to have potential usage in process application.

Global Greenhouse gas Emissions in animal production: towards an
Integrated life cycle sustainability assessment from Ruminant Farming Systems
Abstract
The objectives of this review were to evaluate the environmental impacts of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and emissions intensity (Ei) for the small ruminants, Dairy and beef cattle livestock production systems using the life-cycle assessment (LCA) method with a system boundaries from “Cradle-to- farm-gate” and to promote the other capability of this internationally accepted approach nowadays in the agriculture world to determine weaknesses and robustness and/or the performance of the livestock production system adapted in any regions or areas of examination. This aim was illustrated using results from LCAs in the literature and from a pilot study of different production systems. The emissions were estimated using a whole farm GHGs models, based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) methodology with a yearly time-step. By recognizing different farming systems for ruminant species (i.e. pasture, mixed, and zero grazing). with specific reference to recent published models, outline general conclusions from application of these published models, and describe some limitations and risks associated with these approaches. Certain models were adapted (i.e. an economic optimization model, an environmental assessment model) in which it considers all significant CH4, N2O, and CO2 emissions and removals on the farm and off-farm emissions of N2O derived from nitrogen applied on the farm. This review however, shows that LCAs of different case studies currently cannot be compared directly. Such a comparison requires further international standardization of the LCA method. Nonetheless a recent collective global LCA estimated the GHG intensity of ruminant supply chains to produce 5.7 gigatonnes CO2-eq per annum representing about 80% of the livestock sector emissions. Enteric Methane CH4 was the largest contributing source of GHG accounting for 47%. N2O from soil and deposited manure accounted for a further 24%, while LUC is estimated to contribute 9% of the sector’s overall GHG emissions. However, LCAs should be performed at a large number of practical farms for each production system of interest. Application of LCA on practical farms, however, requires in-depth research to understand underlying processes, and to predict, or measure, variation in emissions realized in practice.

Microalgae, like any other microorganism react to changes in the external environment with changes in their
intracellular environment. Thus, the manipulation of cultivation conditions, especially the presence or absence
of certain nutrients, stimulates the biosynthesis of compounds of interest. Their carbohydrates can be used to
produce bioethanol. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the medium and the concentrations
of nitrogen and phosphate components used in the culture medium of the microalgae Chlorella minutissima in
the carbohydrate concentration of the same. Box-Behnken Planning was used, totaling 15 trials. The cultivations
were carried out until early stationary phase of growth of the microalgae in closed 2 L reactors. At the end of the
cultivation, the carbohydrate concentrations of dry biomass (%) and yield in carbohydrates (g.L-1
.d-1
) were
determined. According to the analysis of effects, the microalgae Chlorella minutissima cultivated in Basal
medium, with the addition of 0.125 gL-1
of the nitrogenized component (KNO3) and without addition of
phosphatized components (K2HPO4 and KH2PO4) had a higher yield in carbohydrates in the cultivation (0,030 ±
0.002 g.L-1

Sequential anaerobic and aerobic treatment of pulp and paper mill efluenteSAT Journals
Abstract Paper mill is one of the major sources of pollution causing industry with intensely coloured effluent. The effluent is rich in lignocellulosic materials and other chemicals used during manufacturing which results in high Bio-chemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). Due to its high toxic and mutagenic nature when discharged untreated there is a growing demand to treat the effluent before discharge. Biological treatment is a promising technique as it greatly reduces colour, BOD and COD. Various fungal and bacterial species are capable of degrading the lignocellulosic materials present in the effluent. In the present study characterization of the paper mill effluent and identification of the degradation efficiency of lignin degrading fungal species - Pleurotus species and Rhizopus stolonifer and bacterial species – Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis in laboratory scale was done. Here sequential anaerobic and aerobic treatment was carried out in two bio-reactors in series. The study indicated that anaerobic treatment gave a reduction of colour (18%), lignin (25%), COD (36%), BOD (28%) in 5days. The anaerobically treated effluent was then separately given to the aerobic reactors containing the fungal and bacterial species. Data obtained indicated that the Rhizopus showed good reduction in colour (71%), lignin (77%), COD (68%) and BOD (70%) in 5days whereas Pleurotus, Pseudomonas and Bacillus species showed reduction in colour (68%, 31%, 18%), lignin (64%, 43%, 44%), COD (58%, 42%, 43%) and BOD (60%, 40%, 42%) respectively in 5days. Thus Rhizopus was identified as the microbe with better degradation capacity. Key Words: Pulp and paper mill effluent1, Lignin, Anaerobic treatment, Rhizopus stolonifer.

— Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), mainly Kitchen Waste
(K) with Cow Dung (C) and Fungi Culture (F) can be used to
generate energy which could save on the fossil fuels conventionally
used as source of energy. In this study, the possibility was
explored to mix Cow Dung with Fungi Culture for anaerobic
digestion, so that energy can be generated as biogas and at the
same time digested sludge can be used as fertilizer for agricultural
applications. Pre-treatment of Kitchen Waste was done by alkali
method. Anaerobic digestion (AD) was carried out in mesophilic
temperature range of 30°C to 37°C with different fermentation
slurries of 8 % total solids. Digestion was carried for a retention
period of 60 days. The gas produced was collected by the
downward displacement of water and was subsequently measured
and analyzed. The overall results showed that blending of Kitchen
waste with cow dung and fungi culture (Aspergillus flavus) had
significant improvement on the biogas yield.

Performance evaluation of existing waste water treatment planteSAT Journals
Abstract
Dairy industry is one of the major industries causing water pollution. In India, dairy industry generates about 6-10 L of wastewater/L
of milk processed, depending upon the process scheme and products manufactured. Poorly treated wastewater with high levels of
pollutants caused by poor design, operation or maintenance of treatment systems creates major environmental problems, when such
waste water is discharged to surface water or on land. Considering the above stated implications an attempt has been to evaluate the
performance of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) at KMF dairy, Gulbarga. Samples were collected from seven points; Raw waste
water [P1] to Secondary clarifier [P6] including the treated effluent [P7] to evaluate the performance of WWTP. Parameters
analyzed for evaluation of performance of WWTP are pH, Acidity, Alkalinity, COD, BOD5 @ 20° C, TS. Tests were performed to find
the fate of pollutants in WWTP. The present study shows that COD removal efficiency of WWTP was found to be 49.89% and BOD5
removal efficiency of WWTP was found to be 74.07%. Though COD efficiency is high but its concentration in the treated effluent
exceeds the limit prescribed by the regulatory authorities. Hence it is recommended to redesign the WWTP to achieve better
performance.

The Application of Statistical Design of Experiments for Mathematical Modelin...realjimcarey
A full factorial statistical design was used to mathematically model the process for growing the E. coli cell line (BL21(DE3)/ pET17b::gfpuv. The experimental factors of mixing (RPM), temperature, glucose concentration, and tryptic soy broth concentration were included in the shaker flask study. Optical density measurements were used as the means of quantifying cell growth. During the exponential growth phase, the process showed a statistically significant dependence upon mixing, temperature, and tryptic soy broth concentration. The interaction between mixing and temperature was also found to have a statistically significant effect upon the exponential growth rate. Interestingly, the glucose concentration did not exhibit a statistically significant effect upon this growth phase. Optical density measurements taken at seven individual time points throughout the experiment were also used to model the system during different growth phases. It was interesting to note that mixing initially exhibited a negative effect upon growth rate, but as the growth rate accelerated, it had a positive effect. In the early growth phase, tryptic soy broth concentration had the largest positive effect, while temperature dominated most phases of cell growth. As expected, higher temperatures favored higher growth rates. From these data, mathematical models were constructed that may be used to predict the growth rate within the experimental bounds explored in this study.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Abstract
The effects on the lactic acid (LA) production by thermophile Lactobacillus bulgaricus ATTC 11842 on whey as a basal medium of
seven factors namely, temperature °C, pH, Lactose g/l, Yeast extract g/l, corn steep liquor (CSL) g/l, K2HPO4 g/l, and salts g/l
(MnSO4, MgSO4 and FeSO4) were investigated, through the statistical analysis of the results by Plackett and Burmann experimental
design. pH was found to have the high significant effect on lactic acid production. By response surface methodology (RSM) design the
optimal value of pH and concentrations in the medium of yeast extract, K2HPO4 and salts were then investigated, it should be 5.5 of
pH, 2.73 g/l of K2HPO4, 1.59 g/l of yeast extract and 0.0326 g/l, 0.1304 g/l, 0.01304 g/l of MgSO4, MnSO4 and FeSO4 respectively.
The results obtained with the optimal results were 20.9592 g/l. of lactic acid and the corresponding yields was 0.5665% (ratio
between the amount of lactic acid produced and the initial concentration of lactose).

1. INTRODUCTION
Lactic acid is a natural organic acid, which has many
applications in pharmaceutical, food and chemical industries.
These include: uses as an acidulant, preservative and in recent
years as a substrate for the production of biodegradable
plastics. These plastics besides its application in food and
cosmetic industry [19] are applied as drug-carriers [13] and
for biodegradable packaging [11].
Lactic acid is produced by chemical synthesis and microbial
fermentation. Chemical synthesis results in racemic mixture of
lactic acid whereas specific stereo isomeric form can be
obtained by microbial fermentation [15]. The fermentative
production of lactic acid is interesting due to the prospect of
using cheap raw materials. The most attractive method for
lactic acid production is fermentation of lactose in whey, a
typical e uent from dairies. Hence, two problems could be
solved at the same time wastewater treatment due to its high
biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) 30000-50000 ppm [18]
and useful product recovery. There are many reports on the
lactic acid fermentation potential of Lactobacillus bacteria
using lactose as substrate [9, 23].
Lactic acid production from various substrates like corn [21],
sugarcane [5], cassava [22], beets [12], paper sludge [14],
biodiesel [3] and green microalga, Hydrodictyon reticulum
[16] has been studied to meet the increasing demands for
lactic acid. In this article, lactic acid production from whey
using Lactobacillus bulgaricus (ATCC 11842) has been
studied. The optimal conditions for the production of lactic
acid were determined in flask culture.
2. MATERIALS AND MEDTHODS
2.1 Microorganism
The lactic acid bacterium used was Lactobacillus
bulgaricus (ATCC 11842). The strain was stored in De Man,
Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) broth with 20 % (v/v) glycerol at –
18 °C..
2. 2 Media and Culture Conditions
Cheese whey containing 52 % (w/v) lactose was obtained
from Boudouaou ONALAIT Algiers. Deproteinization was
carried out by heat treatment (100°C for 10 min) Then
adjusted to pH= 4.6 (isoelectric point of protein flocculation)
by adding to whey 10 M HCl solution and cooled at room
temperature. The resulting whey solution was centrifuged at
10 000 g to remove the solids and the supernatant was diluted
to reach the desired lactose concentration. The inoculum was
prepared by transferring glycerol stock culture (1 ml) to an
Erlenmeyer flask containing 100 ml of MRS medium and
incubated at 46°C for 18 h on a rotary shaker at 200 rpm.
Experiments were performed in 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks
containing 50 ml of production medium inoculated with 10 %
inoculum grown in the MRS medium. The flasks were then
incubated on a rotary shaker at 200 rpm and at the desired

temperature according to experimental design. To avoid pH
decrease due to lactic acid production, 50 g/l of sterile
CaCO3 in powder form was added to each flask [10].
2.3 Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis
To select the factors that affect the lactic acid production we
chose the Plackett-Burmann experimental design. It allows the
study of k variables with k+1 experiment. The experimental
design applied to this study is presented in Table 1. The
columns represent different variables and the rows represent
different experiments. To estimate the experimental error four
variables (X3, X6, X9 and X11) are designed as dummy
variables. In each case a high and a low level of each variable
(nutrient, pH) were tested. The Plakett–Burman design
assumes that there are no interactions between the different
media constituents, Xi in the range of variables (factors) under
consideration [17]. A linear approach is considered to be
sufficient for screening. Y = β0 + ∑βiXi (i= 1…….k) where Y
is the experimental response, β0 the main effects of the factors,
βi are the regression coefficients. The Plackett–Burman
experimental design is a fractional factorial design and the
main effect of such a design may be simply calculated as the
difference between the average of measurements made at the
high level (+1) of the factor and the average of measurements
at the low level (−1). All experiments were carried out in
duplicate. Identification of factors and their concentrations are
shown in Table 2. The first order polynomial coefficients were
calculated and analyzed using the ‘R’ software (version 2.14.1
(2011-12-22) statistical package. Statistical analysis of the
model was performed to evaluate the analysis of variance
(ANOVA).

To optimize pH, phosphate, salts and yeast extract for lactic
acid production a central composite design was used. It allows
us to study each factor at five different levels [4]. It is
composed of three distinct parts:16 points with coordinates (-
1, +1), which forms a full factorial design, 8 star points with
levels -2 and +2 and 4 repetitions of the central point (level 0).
In this study, the value of the dependent response (lactic acid
production) was the averages of duplicate experiments.
Experimental conditions are mentioned in Tables 3, 4.
The second order polynomial coefficients were calculated and
analyzed using the ‘R’ software (version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22)
statistical package. Statistical analysis of the model was
performed to evaluate the analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Response surfaces (3D plots) were drawn for experimental
results obtained from the interactive effects of the independent
variables on the lactic acid production.

The optimized conditions generated during response surface
methodology implementation were validated by conducting
experiment on given optimal medium setting. Three runs were
carried out in triplicate to confirm the results.

The signification column represents the acceptance probability
of the factor to be selected.
Average = 9.91, variance = 4.56, degrees of freedom = 4.
For a minimal probability of significance 70% all variables
with a probability lower than 70% are rejected and considered
without effect on the response (the production of lactic acid)
Table 5 indicate that: Within the range of this study,
temperature have not effect on the lactic acid production, the
same result was obtained by Tuli et al. [20].
The variation of the pH of 5 to 6 causes an increase in the
lactic acid production of 9.83 g/l. The strong effect of pH on
the production of lactic acid and the efficiency of the strain
indicates that we are near to the optimum value of pH which
would be between 5.5 and 5.9 according to results obtained by
Cristian et al. [7].
The increase in the amount of lactose 26 g/l (diluted whey) to
36 g/l (raw whey) increases the production of lactic acid of
2.84 g/l, this leads to the conclusion that the amount of lactose

Volume: 02 Issue: 09 | Sep-2013, Available @ http://www.ijret.org 490
present in the undiluted whey is far to cause a substrate
inhibition.
The presence of yeast extract increases the production of lactic
acid with a value of 2.9 g/l this result has already obtained by
Aeschlimann and von Stockar [1]. The presence of corn-steep
has no effect on the lactic acid production these results allow
us to conclude that yeast extract was the best nitrogen source
and growth factors compared to cornsteep, which corroborates
the results reported by CHIARINI et al. [6]. The use of
manganese, magnesium and iron sulfates as sources of
oligoelements serving as cofactors of enzymes involved in the
lactic acid fermentation [20] and K2HPO4 as a source of
phosphate appears to have no significant effect on the
response (lactic acid production).
One dummy in the case of lactic acid production have
significant effect. Normally if there is no interaction between
the studied variables, or errors in the measurement of the
response (production of lactic acid), The effects of dummy are
equal to zero, the values found can be explained by the fact
that the matrices experience of Plackett and Burman
experience and view the high order of fractionation effects are
confounded with simple interaction of second order or more so
the dummy can be confused with a significant interaction
effect or dummy are due to truly errors measurements or
assays performed.
The mean dummy is 0.575 for the production of lactic acid
with insignificant T values (0.269). The results are therefore
acceptable, which is confirmed by the percent effects
compared to the average which shows that the effects of the
factors are real and not just mathematical. For example, the
pH affect with 99% lactic acid production so we can say that
the pH plays an important role in this fermentation.
These results allow us to represent the response (the
production of lactic acid) by the first degree polynomial
equation.
Y = β0 + β1X1 + β2X2 + β3X3 + β4X4 + β5X5 + β6X6 + β7X7 + ɛ
Where Y represents the experimental response (lactic acid
production), β0 the main effects of the factors, βi are the
regression coefficients and ɛ represents the average of the
experimental errors. The resulting equation for lactic acid
production is:
Y = 9.914 - 0.406 X1 + 9.826 X2 + 2.841 X3 + 2.896 X4 +
0.617 X5 + 2.321 X6 + 0.944 X7 + 0.575
So to get a good production of lactic acid it is appropriate to
use:
- a temperaure of incubation 46 °C;
- a pH between 5.5 and 6;
- yeast extract;
- low concentrations of salts and phosphate;
- Raw whey.
It should be noted that to determine exactly the optima of the
selected factors we should at least use a quadratic model.
3.2 Determination of optimal conditions of pH,
phosphate, salts and yeast extract
Experimental conditions and results of fermentations in
Erlenmeyer flasks are mentioned in the table 4. Statistical
treatment was made by using statistical software (R) and the
results are shown in tables 6 and 7.
High values of the correlation coefficient R (0.969) and the
coefficient of determination R2
(0.940) shows that the chosen
model is representative of our system (lactic acid production).
The coefficient of determination (R2
) was 0.940, indicating
that 94 % of the variability in the response lactic acid
production could be explained by the model. In the
following polynom:
(Pr) = β0 + β1X1 + β2X2 + β3X3 + β4X4 + β11X1

The regressors are denoted X1, X2, X3 and X4, the hypothesis
H0 is rejected, at least one of the coefficients is significantly
different from zero. We can then use the estimated values of
the coefficients to write that the best model for lactic acid
production is:
Pr = 17.811 + 0.818X1 – 2.039X2 + 1.472X3 + 0.489X4 –

As illustrated in Table 7, the insignificant lack-of-fit for all
investigated variables shows that the polynomial models were
satisfactorily accurate for predicting the relevant responses.

The 3D response surfaces are the graphical representations of
the regression equation for lactic acid production. It is plotted
to understand the interaction of the variables and locate the
optimal level of each variable for maximal response. Each
response surface plotted for lactic acid production represents
the different combinations of two test variables at one time
while maintaining the other variable at the zero level or
stationary point. The convex response surfaces suggest
that there are well defined optimal variables. If the surfaces
are rather symmetrical and flat near the optimum, the
optimized values may not vary widely from the single variable
conditions. Figs. 1–6 show the effect of interaction
respectively of K2HPO4 and Salts, pH and Yeast extract,
K2HPO4 and pH, K2HPO4 and Yeast extract, Salts and pH, and
Salts and Yeast extract on lactic acid production. From these
plots, it is very easy and convenient to understand the
interactions between two parameters and also to locate their
optimum levels.
Figures 1 and 2 show that there is a strong interaction between
the X1 (K2HPO4) and X2 (salts) and on the other hand
between X3 (pH) and X4 (Yeast extract). The shape of the
response surfaces of Figure 3 and 4 show that there is no
interaction of K2HPO4 with both the pH as with yeast extract.
Figures 5 and 6 indicate that there is either any interaction
between the salts and pH and salts and yeast extract on the
other hand. Lactic acid production was between 19 and 20 g/l
at the stationary point from the codified variables X1 (0.214),
X2 (-1.879), X3 (-0.0004) and X4 (0.356). These values were
confirmed by the determination of the stationary point of the
equation (Pr).
In Figure 3, we can see that 34 g/l lactic acid is the maximum
value obtained when the concentration of K2HPO4 and the pH
are at their higher level (2) or lower (-2). The lactic acid
production decreases when pH values tend to level 0.
The lactic acid production is at its maximum level (26 g/l),
when the concentration of K2HPO4 is at its upper level (2), and
the concentration of yeast extract is at its lower level (-2). The
lactic acid production is at its minimum level when the
concentration of K2HPO4 is at its level -2 and the
concentration of yeast extract is at level 0. When the
concentrations of the yeast extract tend to 0, the lactic acid
production decreases fig. 4.
Maximum production of lactic acid is reached when the pH is
at its highest level (2) whatever the level of factor X2 (salts).
The minimum level of production is obtained when the salt
concentration is at its level 2, and the pH is between (0 and -1)
Fig. 5.
In Figure 6 we can see that when the concentration of salts and
yeast extract are to their -2 levels, the production of lactic acid
is at its maximum state. Production is at a minimum state
when the salt concentration is at its level 2, and that of the
yeast extract between 0 and -1.

Three replicates of fermentation in Erlenmeyer flasks have
been carried out with the optimal results. The results obtained
for the three repetitions are in g/l: 19.65, 22.52 and 20.70 with
an average of 20.96.
CONCLUSIONS
In conclusion, it appears that the response surface method
represented here by the composite centered design is very
effective in the optimization culture media. Through this
method we were able to determine the optima of pH, yeast
extract, and sulfates of magnesium, manganese and iron. The
optimal production of lactic acid by Lb. bulgaricus (ATCC
11842) on deproteinized whey requires 2.713 g/l of K2HPO4,
0.031 g/l of MnSO4, 0.124 g/l of MgSO4, 0.012 g/l of FeSO4,
1.589 g/l of yeast extract and a pH above 5.5.
