Optimal conditions are obtained using RSM, and the values of the optima, as well as their conditions, are presented below. The quality of fit, as measured by adjusted-R ², and the standard deviation of the replicates are also presented
^aOptima for the SER are the maximum values of the models within the experimental space rather than absolute maxima
