“…The application of mixture design of experiments in the food industry is justified because all foods are mixtures of different ingredients. Mixture design of experiments is an important area of applied statistics and has been used recently in studies on formulation optimization of materials (Javaid et al, 2019), pharmaceuticals (Apeji et al, 2017;Bennani, 2018), and food (Coker et al, 2016;Pattarino, Piepel, & Rinaldi, 2018;Tontul & Topuz, 2017;Tormena, Marcheafave, Rakocevic, Bruns, & Scarminio, 2018;Zen, Gani, Shamsudin, & Masoumi, 2015). In addition to the reduced development time, the experimental mixture design provides reduced product-development costs, reduced raw-material costs, simplified processes, and an increased product shelf life.…”
