Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Yapay Sindirim Sıvısında Doğal Zeolitlerde Meydana Gelen Morfolojik Değişmeler(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2009) Demirbüker Kavak, Dilek; Özçelik, Serdar; Ülkü, SemraDoğal zeolitler biyoaktif maddelerdir. Doğal zeolitlerin hayvanlarda biyokütle arttırıcı besi katkı maddesi, insanlarda ülser tedavisinde mide asitliğini tamponlayıcı, asitliği düşürücü ilaç gibi değişik kullanım alanları mevcuttur. Değişik sağlık alanlarında kullanımlarından dolayı, zeolitlerin yapısal stabilitesinin sindirim sırasında belirlenmesi; olası olumlu veya olumsuz etkileşimleri anlamak açısından önem taşımaktadır. Gerçekleştirilen araştırmada, yapay sindirim sırasında zeolitte meydana gelebilecek olası morfolojik değişimlerin incelenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Bu amaçla zeolitin ABTS ile radikal sönümleme kapasitesi araştırılmış, yapay sindirim denemeleri gerçekleştirilerek de uygulama süreci sonrası yapıda olası değişimler ve adsorpsiyonlar taramalı elektron mikroskobu, FTIR, XRD analizleri ile incelenmiştir. 3g/100ml zeolitin ABTS radikalini %45 inhibe ettiği bulunmuştur. Taramalı elektron mikroskobu deneyleri sonucunda yapay sindirilmiş örneklerin yüzey morfolojisinde değişim gözlenmemiştir. Element analizleri yapısal kaybın olmadığını, Al ve Si elementlerinin ağırlıkça yüzdelerinin, kontrol örnekleriyle (Al:8.1; Si: 39) sindirilmiş örneklerde (Al:8.2; Si: 38.3) yaklaşık aynı olduğunu göstermiştir. Infrared spektrum (IR) ve X-ray ışını kırınımı analizleri sonuçları ise bu bulguları doğrulamıştır. Ayrıca taramalı elektron mikroskobu ve IR spektrum sonuçları yapay sindirim ortamındaki maddelerin, zeolit yüzeyinde adsorplanmadıklarıını göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak doğal zeolitler, yapay sindirim sırasında yapısal stabilitelerini kaybetmemektedirler.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 25Kinetic and Equilibrium Studies of Adsorption of Ss-Glucuronidase by Clinoptilolite-Rich Minerals(Elsevier Ltd., 2015) Demirbüker Kavak, Dilek; Ülkü, SemraThe adsorption of the bacterial β-glucuronidase (GUS) enzyme, which is thought to be responsible for the production of reactive metabolites related to some diseases and cancer development, by clinoptilolite-rich mineral was investigated. Batch experiments were performed to analyze of the effects of the clinoptilolite amount and particle size, initial GUS concentration, shaking rate, pH and temperature on the adsorption equilibrium and kinetics. Adsorption equilibrium data were interpreted in terms of Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms; and they were well represented by the Langmuir isotherm model. The percentage of GUS removal by the clinoptilolite-rich mineral was changed in the range of 9.4-54.4% depending on its initial concentration. The kinetic data were analyzed using external film diffusion, intraparticle diffusion, pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models and both external film and intraparticle diffusion appeared to be effective in GUS adsorption. Thermodynamic studies indicated that GUS adsorption is exothermic, physical and spontaneous at the temperatures investigated (288-310 K)Article Citation - WoS: 42Citation - Scopus: 60Pistacia Terebinthus Extract: as a Potential Antioxidant, Antimicrobial and Possible Ss-Glucuronidase Inhibitor(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Demirbüker Kavak, Dilek; Altıok, Evren; Bayraktar, Oğuz; Ülkü, SemraIn this study, inhibition of Escherichia coli glucuronidase (GUS) by a plant extract of Pistacia terebinthus was investigated. P. terebinthus (from Karaburun region in Turkey) leaf extract exhibits various bioactivities, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial and cytotoxic property because of its flavonoid, phenolic and alkaloid contents. HPLC analyses were performed to evaluate the composition of the extract and main flavonoid compounds such as luteolin, luteolin-7-glucoside and apigenin-7-glucoside were detected in extract. GUS activity and kinetic data of the GUS were obtained by measuring rate of production of resulting fluorescent 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU) and phenolphthalein fluorometrically and spectrophotometrically, respectively. Plant leaves showed higher antioxidant capacity as 85 TEAC (trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity) value and higher antimicrobial activity towards Staphylococcus aureus. 92.4% GUS enzyme inhibition was achieved with 8.3 μg ml-1 crude extract concentration, where IC50 value was found as 2.1 (±0.2) μg ml-1. Kinetic studies by nonlinear regression revealed that inhibition type caused by plant extract was mixed type (noncompetitive and competitive together). Km and Vmax values were 96.94 ± 9.68 nM and 7.81 ± 0.16 nmol min-1 mg-1, respectively. Inhibition constant (αKi) was found as 7.00 ± 0.93 nM having α value 2.17 ± 0.93. Our results may provide useful information regarding the inhibition of microbial GUS activity, preventing deglucuronidation and reducing possible cancer risk by bioactive P. terebinthus crude extract. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Rehydration of figs at 80°C for 16 min inactivated PME partially (25-30%), but this did not prevent the softening over 3 mo of cold storage. Also, heating did not reduce the microbial load of figs significantly and increased their browning. In contrast, rehydration of figs 1st in 2.5% H2O2 at 80°C for 8 min and then in water at 80°C for 8 min reduced the microbial load of IM figs significantly, turned their brown color to yellow-light brown, and maintained their desired textural properties. The residual H2O2 in IM figs decomposed in 3 or 1.5 wk by the in situ catalase or by application of the iron (II) sulfate-ascorbic acid residue elimination method, respectively. Hot rehydration did not affect the antioxidant activity of IM figs, but treatment of figs with H2O2 increased their antioxidant activity slightly. These results indicate that the hot rehydration of figs in the presence of H 2O2 and cold storage may be applied to obtain safe and SO2-free light-colored IM fig products.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 7Potential Application of Hot Rehydration Alone or in Combination With Hydrogen Peroxide To Control Pectin Methylesterase Activity and Microbial Load in Cold-Stored Intermediate-Moisture Sun-Dried Figs(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2004) Demirbüker Kavak, Dilek; Şimşek, Şebnem; Yemenicioğlu, AhmetSun-dried figs contain a considerable amount of pectin methylesterase (PME) activity (22 μM COOH/ min/g). The enzyme causes softening and loss of desired gummy texture in cold-stored intermediate-moisture (IM) sun-dried figs brought to a 28% to 29% moisture range. Partial reduction of PME activity (28%) delayed undesirable textural changes in IM figs rehydrated at 80°C for 16 min. The heat treatment did not cause a considerable reduction in microbial load. However, the addition of 2.5% H2O2 to the rehydratlon medium at 80°C reduced the initial total mesophilic aerobic count of figs by at least 90% and turned the figs from a brown color to a desirable and stable yellow-light brown. The in situ fig catalase remains after rehydration at 80°C. Thus, by reducing the contact period of figs with H2O2 or by pureeing figs, it is possible to eliminate residual H2O2 and to obtain safe and SO2-free light-colored fig products.
