Abstract
A novel ternary mixture of inexpensive and nutrient-rich agro-substrates comprising groundnut de-oiled cake, corn gluten meal, and soybean meal has been explored to enhance the L-asparaginase production in solid-state fermentation. To achieve the aim, a hybrid strategy was implemented by utilizing a combination of a mixture design and artificial neural networks. The study initiated with the judicious selection of the agro-substrates based on their low C/N content in comparison to the control using the CHNS elemental analysis. The mixture composition of soybean meal (49.0%), groundnut de-oiled cake (31.5%), and corn gluten meal (19.5%) were found optimum using the simplex lattice mixture design. The agro-industrial substrates mix revealed synergistic effects on the L-asparaginase production than either of the substrates alone. The maximum L-asparaginase activity of 141.45 ± 5.24 IU/gds was observed under the physical process conditions of 70% moisture content, autoclaving period of 30 min and 6.0 pH by adopting the machine learning–derived artificial neural network (ANN) methodology. The ANN modeling showed excellent prediction ability with a low mean squared error of 0.7, a low root mean squared error of 0.84, and a high value of 0.99 for regression coefficient. Moisture content (%) was assessed to be the most sensitive process parameter in the global sensitivity analysis. The net outcome from the two sequential optimization designs is the selection of the ideal mixture composition followed by the optimum physical process parameters. The application of the enzyme demonstrated significant cytotoxicity against leukemia cell line and therefore exhibited an anti-cancer effect. The present study reports a novel mixture combination and methodology that can be used to lower the cost and enhance the production of L-asparaginase using an agro-industrial substrate mixture.
