Chitinase is responsible for the breaking down of chitin to N-acetyl-glucosamine units linked through (1–4)-glycosidic bond. The chitinases find several applications in waste management and pest control. The high yield with characteristics thermal stability of chitinase is the key to their industrial application. Therefore, the present work focuses on parameter optimization for chitinase production using fungus Thermomyces lanuginosus MTCC 9331. Three different optimization approaches, namely, response surface methodology (RSM), artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic algorithm (GA) were used. The parameters under study were incubation time, pH and inoculum size. The central composite design with RSM was used for the optimization of the process parameters. Further, results were validated with GA and ANN. A multilayer feed-forward algorithm was performed for ANN, i.e., Levenberg–Marquardt, Bayesian Regularization, and Scaled Conjugate Gradient. The ANN predicted values gave higher chitinase activity, i.e., 102.24 U/L as compared to RSM-predicted values, i.e., 88.38 U/L. The predicted chitinase activity was also closer to the observed data at these levels. The validation study suggested that the highest activity of chitinase as predicted by ANN is in line with experimental analysis. The comparison of three different statistical approaches suggested that ANN gives better optimization results compared to the GA and RSM study.
