At microwave power, ethanol concentration, and extraction time of 114.84 W, 58.83%, and 1.42 min, respectively, maximum electron-donating ability (EDA) was 72.86%. Maximum nitrite-scavenging ability was 94.62% at microwave power, ethanol concentration, and extraction time of 81.83 W, 2.65%, and 3.83 min, respectively. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) showed maximum pseudo-activity of 49.12% at microwave power of 34.23 W, ethanol concentration of 33.11 %, and extraction time of 4.40 min. Based on superimposition of 4-dimensional RSM with respect to extraction yield, electron-donating ability, nitrite-scavenging ability, and pseudo-activity of SOD, optimum ranges of extraction conditions were microwave power of 0-100 W, ethanol concentration of 40-70%, and extraction time of 2-8 min.

Flocculation is known one of the effective methods for harvesting microalgae. This study was aimed to optimize the flocculation condition for decreasing the amounts of flocculant and obtaining the highest yield of algal biomass. To achieve this goal, it was optimized the flocculant concentration, reaction pH and the concentration of cell density for harvest using response surface methodology (RSM). The flocculation of microalgae, Spirogyra varians, was carried out using inorganic flocculant polyaluminium chloride. By the RSM result, the optimal flocculation condition was calculated 5 ppm of polyaluminum chloride, pH 7.5 and 0.33 of optical cell density at $OD_{640}$. The obtained recovery yield of S. varians was 97.6% at the optimal condition.

The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal composite recipe of rice muffins with 3 concentrations of Spergularia marina L. Griseb, sugar and grape seed oil, using central composite design. In addition, the mixing condition of rice muffins was optimized by subjecting it to sensory evaluation and mechanical and physicochemical analysis using response surface methodology (RSM). In regard to its antioxidant effects, Spergularia marina L. Griseb had a total phenol and flavonoid contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of 17.03 mg/g, 5.13 mg/g and 17.21%, respectively. The results of mechanical and physicochemical analysis showed significant values for lightness, redness, yellowness, hardness, springiness, chewiness, gumminess, cohesiveness, height, volume, weight, specific volume, loss rate, pH, moisture, sweetness and saltiness (p<0.05), and the results of sensory evaluation showed significant values for color, flavor, taste, softness, appearance and overall quality (p<0.05). As results, optimal sensory ratio was found to be 6.69 g of Spergularia marina L. Griseb, 41.89 g of sugar and 30.48 g of grape seed oil.

The Box-Benhken Design (BBD) model of response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize fluoride adsorption conditions in water using a 350℃ thermally treated cow bone. Water temperature, pH, contact time, and initial fluoride concentration were selected as variables to be optimized. A second order reaction equation was obtained from a Box-Behnken Design DoE experimental matrix of 29 runs. R² and p-value of the model were 0.9242 and <0.0001, respectively, indicating that the selected variables had a very substantial effect on the adsorption results. The optimized adsorption capacity of the thermally synthesized bone char was estimated to be 6.46 mgF/g at the water temperature of 39.68℃, pH 6.25, contact time of 88.81 minutes and an initial fluorine concentration of 14.64 mgF/L.

Crude papain was extracted from papaya latex under various conditions. Extraction conditions of crude papain were optimized by the response surface methodology (RSM). Extraction yield of papain was affected by concentration of $NaHSO_3$, extraction time and pH. Three independent factors were chosen to determine their effects on the various responses and the function was expressed in terms of a quadratic polynomial equation, which measures the linear, quadratic and interaction effects. According to the results of RSM, the stationary point for quantitatively dependent variable was found to be the maximum point for extraction yield. Optimum conditions of papain extraction were 4% of $NaHSO_3$, 120 min of extraction time and pH 7.6. Under these conditions, 793.16 mg of papain per g latex was extracted from papaya latex.

Response surface methodology (RSM) was used for the optimization of antioxidant capacity in gardenia extracts. The antioxidant capacities of gardenia fruit extracts were investigated by ferric reducing ability (FRA) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity (RSA) assays. The optimum extraction parameters for the strongest antioxidant capacity were the ethanol concentration (EtOH) of 48.9%, extraction temperature of $72.9^{\circ}C$, and extraction time of 29.9 min. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that the quadratics of EtOH and extraction temperature had highly significant effect on the antioxidant capacity (p<0.001). The antioxidant capacity was correlated with contents of bioactive components [crocin, geniposide, and total phenolic (TP) compounds] in gardenia extracts and mainly attributed to the content of the TP compounds.

The determination of the optimum conditions for the conversion of ergosterol to vitamin $D_2$ in shitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes) was studied using response surface methodology (RSM). The effects of the three main variables ambient temperature ($20-40^{\circ}C$), exposure time (60-180 min), and irradiation intensity ($0.6-1.8W/m^2$) were investigated. According to the RSM ridge analysis, the optimum conditions were as follows: ambient temperature of $34.2^{\circ}C$, exposure time of 175.6 min, and irradiation intensity of $1.41W/m^2$. Under these optimum conditions, the maximum vitamin $D_2$ content of $117.93{\mu}g/g$ in shitake mushrooms was obtained, which agreed fairly well with the predicted value of $122.60{\mu}g/g$.

Crude papain extracted at optimum condition was purified with an ethanol precipitation method. Four factors of protein recovery method were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) and the function was expressed in terms of a quadratic polynomial equation. Adequacy of the model equation for optimum response values was tested and optimum conditions of protein recovery were 38.2 mg/mL of protein, ethanol concentration of 40% and precipitation temperature of $-8^{\circ}C$. The experimental value (68.97%) for recovery yield was closed to the predicted value (77.28%) under these conditions.

Response surface methodology (RSM) in combination with a 17-run central composite design (CCD) was applied to optimize the non-catalytic hydrolysis of lard using subcritical water to produce fatty acids (FA). The effects of three variables including temperature, molar ratio of water to oil and time, and their relationship on FA content were investigated. A quadratic regression model was employed to predict the FA contents. Optimum reaction conditions for maximizing the FA content were obtained as follows: reaction temperature of $288.5^{\circ}C$, molar ratio of water to oil of 39.5 and reaction time of 29.5 min. Under the optimum conditions, the predicted and experimentally obtained FA contents were 97.06% and 96.99%, respectively.

This study was performed to determine the optimal composition of muffins added with dropwort powder, egg and sugar. The experiment was designed based on BBD (Box-behnken design), and evaluation was carried out by means of RSM (response surface methodology), consisting of 13 experimental points with three replicates each for three independent variables dropwort powder, eggs and sugar. Using F-test, height, moisture, 1,1-diphenyl-2picriylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, L-value, a-value, springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness, brittleness, color, and appearance acceptability were expressed as a linear model, whereas pH, b-value, flavor, taste, and texture were expressed as a quadratic model. After swallow and overall acceptability were expressed as a 2FI model. As dropwort powder content increased, 1,1-diphenyl-2picriylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity increased. Increasing amounts of dropwort powder led to reduction of sensory scores for color, appearance, flavor, taste, and texture quality. The optimum formulation determined by the numerical and graphical methods were similar: dropwort powder 6 g, egg 77 g, and sugar 60 g.
