Optimization of additive contents in cottonseed meals during the solid-state fermentation using response surface methodology and artificial neural network-based genetic algorithm by TANG Jiang-wu, SUN Hong, YAO Xiao-hong, WU Yi-fei, WANG Xin

“…While the experimentally measured detoxification ratio was 80.09%. The correlation efficiency of 0.9191 identified by response surface methodology was a little lower than that of 0.9991 identified by genetic algorithm based on an artificial neural network model, which also was with a lower RMSE value by 0.13, indicating that the artificial neural network-based genetic algorithm had a much higher optimizing ability and modeling ability during the optimization of the solid-state fermentation process.…”
