Question: Peptides The Louisiana crayfish industry produces over 38,600 tons of crayfish-processing byproducts every year. One potential use of the byproducts is in the production of flavor extracts. In order to extract flavoring from the crayfish-

processing byproducts, peptides from the byproducts must be drawn out. This process is a

complicated one with many variables. Two of these variables are the pH and temperature maintained during the process. A model for the amount of peptides released is

\[P(x,y)=2.14-0.26x-0.34y-0.23{{x}^{2}}-0.16{{y}^{2}}-0.25xy\text{ milligrams }\]

where the \(\mathrm{pH}\) is \(9+x\) and the temperature is \((70+5 y)^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .\) The contour plot shows some of the amounts of peptides released.

  1. Use the contour plot to estimate the maximum amount of peptides and the \(\mathrm{pH}\) and temperature needed to achieve the maximum.
  2. Use the model to determine the \(\mathrm{pH}\) and temperature that will maximize the amount of peptides produced.
