Review Citation - Scopus: 1Effect of Probiotics and Prebiotics on Gut-Brain Axis;(Sidas Medya A.S., 2019) Özer,M.; Özyurt,G.; Harsa,Ş.T.People have been started to consume functional foods that promote health with changing nutritional dynamics all over the world. Psychological signs such as level of daily stress and emotional changes affect the microbiota negatively. Neuropsychiatric disorders cause irregular release of neurotransmitters like gamma-aminobutyric acid; therefore, functional food ingredients can be used as therapeutic agents. The purpose of this study is to review the positive impacts of prebiotics, and probiotics, and functional foods containing these ingredients on the gut-brain axis through the health of microbiota. The definition of probiotics and prebiotics and their neurotransmitters secreted, the effects on neuropsychological health, the role of intestinal metabolic disorders in the formation of neuropsychiatric diseases, the importance of gut-brain axis on this mechanism are presented in the light of scientific researches and current literature. In this study, the contribution of food biosciences into this interdisciplinary area is highlighted. © 2019 Authors.

The aim of this study was to investigate the microencapsulation of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM 1954 with a gum arabic-whey protein concentrate complex using a water-in-oil emulsion technique and to evaluate the stability of microencapsulated and non-microencapsulated L. plantarum in the cocoa pudding and to determine the main quality parameters and sensory characteristics of pudding during storage at 4 °C for 21 d. The efficacy of microencapsulation on the viability over 21 d was determined and an encapsulation efficiency of 86.66% was achieved. Whole milk, cocoa, corn starch, and gum arabic, as well as microencapsulated and non-microencapsulated L. plantarum were used to produce probiotic-fortified cocoa pudding. L. plantarum was added to pudding for 21 d to test their viability and stability. pH values and sensory analysis of pudding were conducted. Microencapsulated and non-microencapsulated L. plantarum cell counts were approximately 9 log CFU/g in pudding samples at the end of 21 d. With storage time, the pH of pudding containing non-microencapsulated bacteria decreased more than that of pudding containing microencapsulated bacteria. The addition of bacteria to the pudding did not have a significant effect on the taste, odor, and texture. Since both microencapsulated and non-microencapsulated bacteria maintain significant viability in pudding during storage, pudding can be considered a potential carrier of probiotics. © 2023 by the author(s).Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 18Microencapsulation of a Potential Probiotic Lactiplantibacillus Pentosus and Its Impregnation Onto Table Olives(Elsevier, 2022) Elvan, Menşure; Baysal, Ayşe Handan; Harsa, Hayriye ŞebnemThis study aimed to demonstrate some probiotic properties of Lactiplantibacillus pentosus NRRL B-227 and impregnate the strain onto the table olive surfaces. In this respect, antioxidative ability, antibiotic resistance, and survivability after simulated digestion tests were carried out. Microencapsulation was performed using xylan and whey protein concentrate (WPC) using the water-in-oil emulsion technique to maintain cell viability. A vacuum impregnation process was performed to coat olive surfaces with L. pentosus. This strain demonstrated 71.6% DPPH radical scavenging activity and exhibited paramount resistance to antibiotics. The viable cell count of microencapsulated L. pentosus was found as 8 log CFU/g after 72 weeks of storage. After exposure to the simulated oral phase, 1-log reduction was detected, and gastric phase conditions led to a 3-log reduction of viability of microencapsulated as well as non-microencapsulated cells. The viability of microencapsulated L. pentosus on the surface of olives was also evaluated for one-month, and viable cell count was ≥6 log CFU/g. In the light of these findings, L. pentosus with antibiotic and digestion fluids resistant and antioxidant properties were successfully microencapsulated within xylan-WPC complex. Table olives can be considered as a suitable carrier for beneficial microorganisms that satisfies with the expectations of regulations for functional foods.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1In Vitro Assessment of Food-Derived Bioaccessibility and Bioavailability in Bicameral Cell Culture System(Türk Biyokimya Derneği, 2020) Özel Taşcı, Cansu; Pilatin, Gözde; Edeer, Özgür; Güleç, ŞükrüBackground: Functional foods can help prevent metabolic diseases, and it is essential to evaluate functional characteristics of foods through in vitro and in vivo experimental approaches. Objective: We aimed to use the bicameral cell culture system combined with the in vitro digestion to evaluate glucose bioavailability. Materials and methods: Cake, almond paste, and pudding were modified by adding fiber and replacing sugar with sweeteners and polyols. Digestion process was modeled in test tubes. Rat enterocyte cells (IEC-6) were grown in a bicameral cell culture system to mimic the physiological characteristics of the human intestine. The glucose bioaccessibility and cellular glucose efflux were measured by glucose oxidase assay. Results and discussion: The glucose bioaccessibilities of modified foods were significantly lower (cake: 2.6 fold, almond paste: 9.2 fold, pudding 2.8 fold) than the controls. Cellular glucose effluxes also decreased in the modified cake, almond paste, and pudding by 2.2, 4, and 2 fold respectively compared to their controls. Conclusion: Our results suggest that combining in vitro enzymatic digestion with cell culture studies can be a practical way to test in vitro glucose bioaccessibility and bioavailability in functional food development.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Usage of Rice Milk in Probiotic Yoghurt Production(North University of Baia Mare, 2016) Uzuner, Aydın Erdem; Kınık, Özer; Korel, Figen; Yıldız, Gamze; Yerlikaya, OktayThere are previous studies focusing on the production of probiotic and fermented dairy products made using vegetable based raw materials like oats and soy, however there is a limited number of studies on the usage of rice milk in fermented dairy products. Four different types of yoghurt samples were produced and stored for 21 days at 4°C. Physical, chemical, microbiological and sensory characteristics of the samples were performed at the 1st, 7th, 14th and 21st days of the storage. It was determined that rice milk increased the viscosity values but decreased the values of the texture, whey separation and the chemical and microbiological properties of yoghurts. Acetaldehyde, acetoin, acetone and diacetyl of carbonyl compounds were detected as main flavor components of yoghurt samples. In the sensory analysis, scores decreased as the rice milk proportions in yoghurt was increased and the panelists reported that P1 sample (25% rice milk + 75% cow's milk) was the closest sample to the control sample (100% cow's milk). Generally speaking, samples containing rice milk did not give good results. However, P1 samples were the most favored products among the samples containing rice milk as they were the closest product to the control group. The consumption of such products is continuously increasing as the customers' tendency to consider them as functional products rather than traditional food products increase.
