Bioconversion of cheese whey permeate into fungal oil by Mucor circinelloides

Table 2 Analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the estimated regression models for biomass yield, sugar consumption, and oil and protein contents in the fungal biomass at 72 h

Estimated regression models	R²	F_cal	F_tab
Estimated biomass yield (g/L) = 6.04 + 1.32 X₂	0.82	40.6	5.12
Estimated sugar consumption (%) = 62.92 + 14.56X₂	0.88	68.8	5.12
Estimated oil content (%) = 14.97 + 1.75X₂	0.87	61.1	5.12
Estimated protein content (%) = 24.62–1.07X₂	0.78	31.5	5.12

Only parameters significant at p < 0.05 were used in the regression models. X₂ is the coded level corresponding to temperature variable, F_cal is the calculated F-ratio (MS regression/MS residual) and F_tab is the tabulated F-value (0.95, df regression, df residual), where MS is mean square and df is degrees of freedom
