Abstract: In order to solve the problem that the content of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) in the process of preparing glucocosamine (GlcN) by microbial fermentation is difficult to measure online, an improved prediction algorithm based on stochastic forest algorithm, genetic algorithm and neural network algorithm is proposed. The algorithm utilizes the feature of decreasing average impurity in random forest algorithm to analyze the relevance of the input characteristics. The initial weights and thresholds of the neural networks are optimized by the genetic algorithm. A prediction model based on the RF-GA-BP algorithm is established based on the data from the fermentation process of an ammonia sugar production enterprise. The results show that the model has a good prediction ability for the content of GlcNAc. The prediction model has a fast convergence rate and a high accuracy. The average error is less than 7%, which is better than the GA-BP model and the traditional BP model.
