Hydrolysis of sweet potato (lpornoea batatas (L.) Lam.) flour by Candida homilentoma strains: effects of pH and temperature using Central Composite Rotatable Design

The current study focuses on the evaluation of culture parameters on the enzymatic hydrolysis of ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam flour by Candida homilentoma strains. A 2-factor-5-level CCRD was used to evaluate the effect of pH and temperature on the hydrolysis process. For the S-47 strain, pH and both studied parameters were significant at 48 h and 96 h, respectively. Regarding S-81 strain, temperature was the only factor affecting the process, at 96 hours. The regression models were significant, and no lack of fit was observed for them.
