Abstract
Omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids has both
pharmaceutical and neutraceutical importance. Central composite
rotatable design (CCRD), along with response surface
methodology (RSM), was employed to optimize the medium
components for maximum production of gamma linolenic
acid (GLA) from Mucor rouxii CFR-G15. Nutritional
parameter such as carbon (glucose) and nitrogen (yeast extract
and ammonium nitrate) sources were focused in this study to
enhance the GLA production. The optimal conditions for
maximizing GLA production (18.55%) were at 65 g glucose
per liter; 3.5 g yeast extract per liter, and 0.5 g ammonium
nitrate per liter. Thus, by using CCRD with RSM, it is quite
possible to determine the accurate values of the fermentation
parameters where maximum production of GLA is achieved.
