Vegetables are an important source of vitamins and essential compounds for human health. As a result, such metabolites have increasingly become the focus of breeding programs. Tomato is one of the most popular components of our daily diet. Therefore, the improvement of tomato's nutritional quality is an important goal. In the present study, we performed targeted metabolic profiling of an interspecific Solanum pimpinellifolium x S. lycopersicum inbred backcross line (IBL) population and identified quantitative trait loci responsible for the nutritional value of tomato. Transgressive segregation was apparent for many of the nutritional compounds such that some IBLs had extremely high levels of various amino acids and vitamins compared to their parents. A total of 117 QTLs for nutritional traits including 62 QTLs for amino acids, 18 QTLs for fatty acids, 12 QTLs for water-soluble vitamins, and 25 QTLs for fat-soluble vitamins were identified. Moreover, almost 24% of identified QTLs were confirmed in previous studies, and 40 possible gene candidates were found for 18 identified QTLs. These findings can help breeders to improve the nutritional value of tomato.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 15Effects of Processing Parameters on Chemical and Physical Properties of Enzymatically Interesterified Beef Tallow-Corn Oil Blends(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2020) Aktaş, Ayşe Burcu; Özen, Banu; Alamprese, Cristina A.The purpose of this study was to improve some physical and chemical characteristics of tallow through enzymatic interesterification process with corn oil and to investigate effects of process parameters on chemical and physical properties of obtained products. Full factorial design was constructed using blend ratio and reaction time as process parameters. Enzymatic interesterification was catalyzed with sn-1,3-specific lipase. Interesterified lipids have higher free fatty acid content and lower oxidative stability compared to initial blends. Interesterification did not cause trans-fatty acid formation and products mostly contained beta crystals. Solid fat content and slip melting point decreased up to 6 hr of interesterification; however, longer reaction times have negative effects on these parameters. Statistical analyses' results confirmed that reaction time is highly important for enzymatic interesterification. Practical applications Some of interesterified lipids can be utilized as alternatives to margarines or butterfat due to their lower trans-fatty acid content and crystal morphology.
