Polygalacturonase has many applications in the food industry, textile industry, waste water treatment, production of animal feed. Besides, polygalacturonase also be used to produce pectic oligosaccharides (POS), known as a new prebiotic. Polygalacturonase is produced from various sources but mainly from A. niger in solid-state fermentation. To study the biosynthesis of polygalacturonase and find the optimum medium, Box-benken design was performed to investigate the effect of the moisture content, concentration of pectin, temperture and substrate thickness. Optimal conditions for the strain A .niger CNTP 5037 polygalacturonase biosynthesis include: moisture content 64%, pectin concentration 14%, temperature 27 °C, substrate thickness 17 mm. Using the optimized medium and addition ratio 2.106 spores/g with a 72-hour incubation period, the maximal activity of polygalacturonase production was found to be 25.02 U/g.
