Response surface methodology for optimizing the fermentation medium of alpha-galactosidase in solid-state fermentation.

Abstract:

AIMS:Alpha-galactosidase is applied in food and feed industries for hydrolysing raffinose series oligosaccharides (RO) that are the factors primarily responsible for flatulence upon ingestion of soybean-derived products. The objective of the current work was to develop an optimal culture medium for the production of alpha-galactosidase in solid-state fermentation (SSF) by a mutant strain Aspergillus foetidus. METHODS AND RESULTS:Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to evaluate the effects of variables, namely the concentrations of wheat bran, soybean meal, KH(2)PO(4), MnSO(4).H(2)O and CuSO(4).5H(2)O on alpha-galactosidase production in the solid substrate. A fractional factorial design (FFD) was firstly used to isolate the main factors that affected the production of alpha-galactosidase and the central composite experimental design (CCD) was then adopted to derive a statistical model for optimizing the composition of the fermentation medium. The experimental results showed that the optimum fermentation medium for alpha-galactosidase production by Aspergillus foetidus ZU-G1 was composed of 8.2137 g wheat bran, 1.7843 g soybean meal, 0.001 g MnSO(4).H(2)O and 0.001 g CuSO(4).5H(2)O in 10 g dry matter fermentation medium. CONCLUSIONS:After incubating 96 h in the optimum fermentation medium, alpha-galactosidase activity was predicted to be 2210.76 U g(-1) dry matter in 250 ml shake flask. In the present study, alpha-galactosidase activity reached 2207.19 U g(-1) dry matter. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY:Optimization of the solid substrate was a very important measure to increase enzyme activity and realize industrial production of alpha-galactosidase. The process of alpha-galactosidase production in laboratory scale may have the potential to scale-up.
