Statistical optimization of bioethanol production from empty fruit bunches by a mixed culture of yeast and fungus

Production of bioethanol from oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) by Saccharomyces cerevisae and Aspergillus niger is among the ways of reducing environmental pollution and consumption of crude oil. This study used sequential optimization approach based on statistical experimental design includ...

This study used sequential optimization approach based on statistical experimental design including Plackett-Burman (PB) design, one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) and face-centered central composite design (FCCCD). Plackett-Burman design was used to screen the important medium components and process conditions that influence the bioethanol production.
