Statistical optimization of process parameters for the production of citric acid from oil palm empty fruit bunches

Statistical optimization of process parameters for the production of citric acid from oil palm empty fruit bunches

In this study, optimization of process parameters such as moisture content, incubation temperature and initial pH (fixed) for the improvement of citric acid production from oil palm empty fruit bunches through solid state bioconversion was carried out using traditional one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT)...
