Production and optimization of kojic acid by locally isolated fungi Aspergillus sp. using response surface methodology

Abstract:
Introduction
Kojic acid with the chemical structure of 5-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-ˠ-Piron is an organic acid that is biologically produced through aerobic fermentation process by using various substrates and via the function of variety of fungi. This study was aimed to study the optimization of Kojic acid production by Locally Isolated Fungi Aspergillus sp., using ‘Response Surface Methodology’.
Materials And Methods
Kojic acid was produced by fermentation of isolated strain of genus Aspergillus in submerged culture medium. Initial investigation in Kojic acid production process was performed via Plackett-Burman method and by using different nitrogen sources such as yeast extract, peptone, ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride, urea as well as different carbon sources, including fructose, sucrose, glucose, lactose and maltose.
Results
Based on our study, peptone and glucose were the most effective factors with carbon and nitrogen sources in production of kojic acid (P <0.05). The next step was production of 34.4g/L kojic acid by optimizing the effect of environmental factors such as temperature, pH, glucose and peptones, such as carbon and nitrogen sources, used in production of kojic acid and by employing ‘Response Surface Methodology’.
Conclusion
Based on the results of this study, the maximum production of kojic acid can be achieved by using glucose (% 8.71), peptone (37.4%), temperature (29.9 ° C) and adjusting pH to 6.75 in the production process.
