The optimization of culture conditions for the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa BYK-2 KCTC 18012P, was performed to increase its rhamnolipid production. The optimum level for carbon, nitrogen sources, temperature and pH, for rhamnolipid production in a flask, were identified as 25 g/L fish oil, 0.01% (w/v) urea, 25 and pH 7.0, respectively. Optimum conditions for batch culture, using a 7-L jar fermentor, were 200 rpm of agitation speed and a 2.0 L/min aeration rate. Under the optimum conditions, on fish oil for 216 h, the final cell and rhamnolipid concentrations were 5.3 g/L and 17.0 g/L respectively. Fed-batch fermentation, with different feeding conditions, was carried out in order to increase, cell growth and rhamnolipid production by the Pseudomonas aeruginosa, BYK-2 KCTC 18012P. When 2.5 g of fish oil and 100 mL basal salts medium, containing 0.01 % (w/v) urea, were fed intermittently during the fermentation, the final cell and rhamnolipid concentrations at 264 h, were 6.1 and 22.7 g/L respectively. The fed-batch culture resulted in a 1.2-fold increase in the dry cell mass and a 1.3-fold increase in rhamnolipid production, compared to the production of the batch culture. The rhamnolipid production-substrate conversion factor (0.75 g/g) was higher than that of the batch culture (0.68 g/g).

We developed a seasoning sauce using hot water extracts from anchovy Engraulis japonica fish sauce processing by-products. A temperature of 121℃ was maintained for 120 min and the resulting amino acid content, salinity, and pH were 183.6 mg/100 g, 6.86, and 17.4 g/100 g, respectively. Radish juice, sea tangle Saccharina japonica extract, and mushroom Lentinula edodes were added to improve the flavor. The glutamic acid content of the extract mixed with 10% sea tangle extract was 88.87 mg/100 g and the 5'-GMP (guanine 5'-monophosphate) content of the extract mixed with 10% mushroom extract was 9.67 mg/ g. This study was conducted to determine optimal processing conditions for seasoned products using response surface methodology (RSM). The optimal conditions for X₁ (sea tangle extract concentration) and X₂ (mushroom extract concentration) were 15.0% and 5.0%, respectively, and the predicted values of the multiple response optimal conditions were Y₁ (5'-GMP: 17.36 mg/100 g) and Y₂ (glutamic acid: 157.35 mg/100 g). Under the optimal conditions, the experimental values of Y₁ and Y₂ were 17.32 mg/g and 155.36 mg/100 g, respectively, which are similar to the predicted values. We confirmed the feasibility of developing a seasoning sauce using hot water extract from anchovy fish sauce processing by-products and additives.

Optimization of fluidized bed granulating conditions for yield, bulk density, and tapped density of powdered milk was determined using response surface methodology. Yield of powdered milk was greatly affected by feeding rate of water, and bulk density and tapped density could be reduced by decreasing of atomization pressure. The optimum conditions for fluidized bed granulating of powdered milk were predicted with 6$0^{\circ}C$ of inlet air temperature, 16 mL/min of feeding rate, and 2.1 bar of atomization pressure. Also 94% of yield 0.350 g/㎤ of bulk density, and 0.446 g/㎤ of tapped density of powdered milk could be obtained by the optimum granulating conditions.

This study is to investigate for obtaining the operating conditions of continuous vinegar production using fluidized bed reactor by Acetobacter aceti cell immobilized in Ca-alginate gel. The optimum conditions obtaining by batch fermentation using fluidized bed reactor were as follows; The fermentation temperature and aeration rate were 3$0^{\circ}C$ and 1.0VVM and the initial concentration of ethanol and acetic acid in medium were 33g/l and 27g/l respectively. The amount of bead used was 25%(w/v). The overall acetic acid productivities of batch fermentations by free cell and immobilized cell were 0.31g/l-hr and 0.48g/l-hr, respectively, at the final acetic acid concentration of 50g/l. In the continuous vinegar production using fluidized bed reactor by immobilized cell under optimum conditions, it was possible to produce 23g/l acetic acid continuously up to 90 days with maximum acetic acid productivity of 2.76g/l-hr at dilution rate 0.12hr-1.

Let α be a complex number with 𝕽α > 0. Let the functions f and g be analytic in the unit disc E = {z : |z| < 1} and normalized by the conditions f(0) = g(0) = 0, f'(0) = g'(0) = 1. In the present article, we study the differential subordinations of the forms $${\alpha}{\frac{z^2f^{{\prime}{\prime}}(z)}{f(z)}}+{\frac{zf^{\prime}(z)}{f(z)}}{\prec}{\alpha}{\frac{z^2g^{{\prime}{\prime}}(z)}{g(z)}}+{\frac{zg^{\prime}(z)}{g(z)}},\;z{\in}E,$$ and $${\frac{z^2f^{{\prime}{\prime}}(z)}{f(z)}}{\prec}{\frac{z^2g^{{\prime}{\prime}}(z)}{g(z)}},\;z{\in}E.$$ As consequences, we obtain a number of sufficient conditions for star likeness of analytic maps in the unit disc. Here, the symbol ' ${\prec}$ ' stands for subordination

A 17-run Box-Behnken design (BBD) was used to optimize the extraction conditions of astaxanthin from shrimp waste. Three factors such as ratio of ethanol to raw material, extraction temperature ($^{\circ}C$) and extraction time (min) were investigated. The adjusted coefficient of determination ($R^2{_{adj}}$) for the model was 0.9218, and the probability value (p=0.0003) demonstrated a high significance for the regression model. The optimum extraction conditions were found to be: optimized ratio of ethanol to raw material 29.7, extraction temperature $49.5^{\circ}C$ and extraction time 59.9 min. Under these conditions, the mean extraction yield of astaxanthin was $17.80{\mu}g/g$, which was in good agreement with the predicted model value. Under these conditions, validation experiments were done and the mean extraction yield of astaxanthin was $17.77{\mu}g/g$, which is in good agreement with the predicted model value.

In the present study, the biomass productivity of two green microalgae (Chlorella sp. and Dunaliella salina DCCBC2) were assessed in a 12 L tubular photobioreactor under optimum culture conditions. In the batch culture optimization process, the Chlorella sp. biomass was obtained as 1.2 g/L under atmospheric air as a sole $CO_2$ source and other culture conditions as follows: light intensity, temperature, pH, $NH_4Cl$ and $K_2HPO_4$ were 100 ${\mu}E/m^2/s$, $27^{\circ}C$, 7.0, 20.0 mM and 2.0 mM, respectively. On the other hand, 2.9 g/L of D. salina DCCBC2 biomass production was observed under the following conditions: light intensity, temperature, pH, $KNO_3$ and $K_2HPO_4$were 80 ${\mu}E/m^2/s$, $27^{\circ}C$, 8.0, 3.0 mM and 0.025 mM, respectively. At 1% $CO_2$ supply to the reactor, the Chlorella sp. production was reached 1.53 g/L with 25% increment under the same operating conditions. In addition, the maximum D. salina DCCBC2 biomass was observed as 3.40 g/L at 3% $CO_2$ concentration. Based on the aforementioned optimized conditions, the dilution rate and maximal biomass productivity of Chlorella sp. and D. salina DCCBC2 in the continuous cultivation were 0.4/d and 0.6 g/L/d and 0.6/d and 1.5 g/L/d, respectively.

High production and efficient harvesting of microalgae containing high omega-3 levels are critical concerns for industrial use. Aeration can elevate production of some microalgae by providing CO₂ and O₂. However, it may lower the production of others by generating shear stress, causing severe cell damage. The mixotrophic dinoflagellate Gymnodinium smaydae is a new, promising microalga for omega-3 fatty acid production owing to its high docosahexaenoic acid content, and determining optimal conditions and methods for high omega-3 fatty acid production and efficient harvest using G. smaydae is crucial for its commercial utilization. Therefore, to determine whether continuous aeration is required, we measured densities of G. smaydae and the dinoflagellate prey Heterocapsa rotundata in a 100-L semi-continuous cultivation system under no aeration and continuous aeration conditions daily for 9 days. Furthermore, to determine the optimal conditions for harvesting through centrifugation, different rotational speeds of the continuous centrifuge and different flow rates of the pump injecting G. smaydae + H. rotundata cells into the centrifuge were tested. Under continuous aeration, G. smaydae production gradually decreased; however, without aeration, the production remained stable. Harvesting efficiency and the dry weights of omega-3 fatty acids of G. smaydae + H. rotundata cells at a rotational speed of 16,000 rpm were significantly higher than those at 2,000-8,000 rpm. However, these parameters did not significantly differ at injection pump flow rates of 1.0-4.0 L min^-1. The results of the present study provide a basis for optimized production and harvest conditions for G. smaydae and other microalgae.
