Abstract
A comparison of the DOE techniques demonstrated that the inscribed central composite design and full factorial design were most suitable. Five conventional and two tailor made OED criteria were tested. The commonly used D-criterion performed best out of the conventional designs and almost equally well as the best of the dedicated criteria. Moreover, the modelling results of the D-criterion were less dependent on the experimental variability and differences in the microbial response than the two selected DOE techniques. Finally, it was proven that solving the optimisation of the D-criterion can be made more efficient by considering the sensitivities of the growth rate relative to its value as Jacobian matrix instead of the sensitivities of the cell density measurements.
