Abstract

Statistical Experimental Design was employed for the improvement of citric Acid production from Madhuca indica through submerged fermentation process using Aspergillus niger MTCC 282. The results obtained from the two-level full factorial design with six factor combinations show effects free from confounding, that is, all effects are distinguishable from other effects by doing fewer runs with all possible combinations . The results obtained from two level full factorial design showed that Mg 0.05mg/ml, (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 0.2 g/l, EDTA 0.2g/l, KH 2 PO 4 2 g/l were found to be major factors for the production of citric acid. The Statistical analysis showed that maximum production of citric acid was obtained at pH 4.
