Optimization of Cultural Conditions for Antioxidant Exopolysaccharides from Xerocomus badius Grown in Shrimp Byproduct

الملخص EN

To optimize the production conditions for exopolysaccharides with higher antioxidant activities from Xerocomus badius cultured in shrimp byproduct medium, Plackett-Burman design, path of steepest ascent, and response surface methodology were explored.

Based on the results of Plackett-Burman design and path of steepest ascent, a Box-Behnken design was applied to optimization and the regression models.

The optimal cultural condition for high yield and antioxidant activity of the exopolysaccharides was determined to be 10.347% of solid-to-liquid ratio, a 4.322% content of bran powder, and a 1.217% concentration of glacial acetic acid.

Culturing with the optimal cultural conditions resulted in an exopolysaccharides yield of 4.588±0.346 g/L and a total antioxidant activity of 2.956±0.105 U/mg.

These values are consistent with the values predicted by the corresponding regression models (RSD < 5%).
