Experimental design methodology was used to determine significant factors affecting the extraction yield of soluble and insoluble fibres fromAgave americanaL. and in second time to find optimum conditions leading to the highest yield. Results clearly indicated that the temperature, the powder to water (P/W) ratio, and the agitation speed were the most important factors influencing fibres extraction yield which increased with temperature, P/W ratio, and agitation speed. Ionic strength affected significantly soluble fibre extraction yield and was the most important factor among nonsignificant ones influencing insoluble fibres extraction yield. Then, a Box-Behnken design was carried out to maximise fibres extraction. Selected optimal conditions were temperature: 90°C; P/W ratio: 0.1625; agitation speed: 400 rpm; and ionic strength: 1.5 g/L. These conditions yielded 93.02% and 80.46% of insoluble and soluble fibres, respectively. Concentrates showed high fibres purity and good functional properties.

Catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O), the key enzyme catalyzing the second step in the phenol degradation meta-cleavage pathway has been purified to homogeneity by one-step chromatography from bacterial strain Bacillus cereus ZL1. The culture condition was optimized according to the analysis of the biomass and C23O activity, and the separation process was monitored by SDS-PAGE method. The molecular weight of the purified C23O was 37±3KDa and the active enzyme was eluted by potassium phosphate buffer with 400 mmol NaCL using linear gradient mode on DEAE-Sepharose Fast Flow.

Abstract Enzymatic preparation from culture of keratinolytic Bacillus cereus PCM 2849 was applied for hydrolysis of whole chicken feathers, after sulphitolytic pretreatment. This process was optimized using a three-factor Box-Behnken design, where the effect of substrate concentration, sulphite concentration during pretreatment and reaction temperature was evaluated on the release of amino acids. Obtained results revealed the highest impact of reaction temperature, followed by substrate content and sulphite during pretreatment. Optimal process conditions were established, i.e. temperature 44.4°C, feathers 4.7% and treatment with 25.3 mM sulphite. Amino acid composition of the obtained hydrolysate was analyzed. Glutamic acid (9.21 g·kg−1) and proline were dominant, however significant amount of branched-chain amino acids was also observed. The FTIR analysis of residual substrate revealed the cleavage of disulphide bonds in keratin through the presence of thioester residues. The absence of reduced cysteine residues was confirmed, along with minor changes in proportions of keratin substructures.

Rose dregs were used for laccase production by the strain Pycnoporus sp. W-9 under liquid fermentation, and the obtained laccase was used for phenol degradation. The conditions for laccase production were optimized by Box-Behnken design, and the phenol degradation conditions using the crude laccase were optimized by central composite design. The optimal conditions for laccase production by the strain W-9 were as follows: rose dregs (40 g/L), KCl (0.144 g/L), KH2PO4 (1 g/L), K2HPO4 (0.699 g/L), NaCl (0.2 g/L), MgSO4·7H2O (0.3 g/L), CuSO4·5H2O (0.306 g/L), Tween 80 (0.2 g/L), and CaCO3 (1 g/L), at a pH of 6.0, incubated at 30 °C and 200 rpm for 7 d. The corresponding laccase yield reached 17.4 U/mL, which was approximately 1.8 times the original production. The optimal conditions for phenol removal by the crude laccase were as follows: laccase (12.2 U/mL), 0.1 mol/L citric acid-disodium hydrogen phosphate buffer (pH 3.5), phenol (100 μg/mL), and Triton X-100 (284 μg/mL), incubated at 45 °C for 2 h. The corresponding phenol degradation rate reached 86.6%. These results should be useful for utilization of rose dregs and bioremediation of soil and wastewater.

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the effect of process parameters of blow room machines on openness degree and quality of cotton tufts in a blow room.Design/methodology/approachFor this purpose, an experimental Box–Behnken design (BBD) was used, and the process parameters were the angles of the grid bars underneath the opening rollers of CVT3 beaters and the distance between feed roller of the first opening roller of CVT3.FindingsIt was found that the cotton tuft openness increased by increasing the angles of grid bars and by decreasing the distance between the feed roller and first opening roller on CVT3 beater. Further, the optimization procedure showed that an optimum value of cotton tuft openness (in laser method) was determined for specific levels of the process parameters.Originality/valueThe originality of this investigation is that it showed the individual effects and interactions of the most important factors in two tufting machines instead of only one machine. This study is important because it helps cotton yarn spinners to improve the quality of the final yarns by optimizing the levels of tuft openness which in turn improves fiber cleaning.
