Fermentation Process Modeling Using Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Model
Authors: , ,
Abstract: Fermentation process is vital and important in many biotechnological applications. However modeling the fermentation process is considered a challenging and complex problem. The complexity of the problem is driven by the need of efficient, accurate, not expensive, and reliable predictive models. In this paper, we apply a Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Logic technique for modeling the lipase activity production based on nutritional and physico- chemical factors to estimate the lipase activities. The accuracy of the developed fuzzy model is measured, validated and compared with both the multiple regression and artificial neural network models. The fuzzy model successfully showed competitive and promising modeling results.
