Lactulose Synthesis Optimization from Whey Permeate Using Factorial Design

50.06 grams of lactulose per 100 grams of whey powder was obtained under optimal conditions. This dataset likely contains experimental results from a study optimizing lactulose synthesis from bovine whey permeate using response surface methodology. The study, authored by Fernanda Caspers Zimmer, investigated reaction time and isomerization type to maximize yield.

Use Cases

• Optimizing chemical synthesis parameters based on reaction time and isomerization agent data.
• Modeling reaction yields using response surface methodology based on described experimental factors.
• Comparing the efficiency of enzymatic versus chemical isomerization for lactose conversion mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Specific optimal yield of 50.06 g lactulose per 100 g whey powder is reported.
• Experimental design investigated two key parameters: reaction time (90-180 min) and three isomerization types.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect the specific experimental bias inherent to the single study described on paperswithcode.
