Optimization of Fermentation Process of Pear Vinegar by Response Surface Methodology

Article Preview

Abstract:

The fermentation process of pear vinegar was optimized to maximize the amount of acetate in this study. A central composite design of response surface methodology involving inoculation rate, temperature, time was used, and second-order model for the amount of acetate was employed to generate the response surface. The optimum condition for the fermentation process was determined as follows: inoculation rate 8.65 %, temperature 30.17 °C, time 7.44 d. The obtained amount of acetate at the optimum condition was 9.53%.
