Factorial Designs and Analysis of Results
The quantitative description of the physical
condition effects on CGTase production was
performed. Response Surface Methodology is an
empirical modeling technique used to evaluate the
relationship between a set of controllable experimental
factors and observed results.14 -16 The results were
analyzed using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) as
appropriate to the experimental design used. The
regression equation obtained after analysis of variance
gives the level production of CGTase as a function of
different variables: pH, temperature and agitation. All
terms regardless of their significance are included in
the following equation:
