Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Vibrational Spectroscopy in Plant-Based Protein Research: Quantification and Structural Analysis(Elsevier Science London, 2025) Cavdaroglu, Elif; Cavdaroglu, Cagri; Ozen, BanuBackground: Plant-based proteins are gaining importance in food science, biotechnology, and human health as sustainable and nutrient-rich alternatives to animal-derived proteins. The rising demand for plant-based foods, driven by environmental concerns and dietary shifts, has intensified research into plant protein sources. Accurate determination of protein content and structure is essential for ensuring the nutritional quality, optimizing functionality, and maintaining product consistency. Traditional protein analysis methods, while effective, often require extensive sample preparation and time-consuming procedures. Vibrational spectroscopy, including Fourier-transform Infrared (FTIR), Near-Infrared (NIR), and Raman spectroscopy, offers a rapid, non-destructive, and efficient alternative for protein characterization in complex food matrices. Scope and approach: This review explores the application of vibrational spectroscopy in evaluating plant-based protein content and their secondary structure. It outlines the fundamental principles of FTIR, NIR, and Raman spectroscopy, emphasizing their advantages over conventional techniques. Key challenges, such as spectral overlap, water interference, and calibration requirements, are discussed alongside emerging solutions involving chemometric approaches, artificial intelligence, and hybrid analytical techniques. Key findings and conclusions: Vibrational spectroscopy provides precise protein quantification and structural analysis with minimal sample preparation. FTIR and Raman spectroscopy complement each other in protein conformation analysis, while NIR facilitates rapid bulk protein assessment. Advances in computational methods are enhancing spectral interpretation and accuracy. Integrating vibrational spectroscopy with complementary techniques can further improve protein characterization, supporting the development of high-quality, sustainable plant-based protein sources for food and biotechnology applications.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Utilization of Black Cumin (nigella Sativa L.) Cake Proteins as a Sustainable Food Ingredient: a Comparative Study With Commercial Proteins for Antioxidant, Techno-Functional and Vegan Cheese Properties(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Cavdaroglu, Elif; Kayi, Hilal; Budak, Yaren Buse; Berk, Berkay; Yemenicioglu, AhmetThis study aimed to compare the antioxidant, techno-functional and vegan cheese properties of black cumin cake protein concentrate (BPC) with those of commercial proteins. The BPC (63% protein, w/w) showed greater antioxidant potential (TEAC: 247 mu mol Trolox/g; ORAC: 211 mu mol Trolox/g; iron chelation capacity: 35.5 mu mol Trolox/g) than potato protein isolate (PPI), but comparable antioxidant potential with soy protein isolate (SPI). The BPC had slightly lower water binding capacity (7 g/g) than SPI (8.8 g/g), but 1.7 and 1.9-fold higher oil binding capacity (5.4 g/g) than PPI and SPI, respectively. All proteins showed similar emulsion capacity (EC) and stability (ES) at high protein concentrations (>= 1%), but BPC showed the highest EC and ES at low protein concentrations (<= 0.5%). BPC showed higher least gelling concentration (LGC: 14%) than PPI and SPI (LGCs for both 10%). However, the texture profile analysis showed that the heat-induced gels of BPC were firm but easily chewable. Moreover, BPC gels showed the highest springiness and resilience. The BPC-based spreadable vegan cheese was softer (firmness: 5.52 N), more easily spreadable (spreadability value: 6.23 N s), but less adhesive and sticky than SPI- and PPI-based spreadable vegan cheeses. SPI-based cheese showed the highest viscoelastic moduli followed by PPI and BPC with similar viscoelastic moduli. SPI-based cheese demonstrated the most favorable sensory properties, but BPC showed acceptable overall sensory properties. This work proved that black cumin proteins could be utilized to novel spreadable black vegan cheese. Further studies are needed to develop novel black-colored vegan food such as black milk, ice-cream, sausage, cake, crackers etc.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 12The Effect of Starch Types on Extensional, Linear and Nonlinear Rheological Properties of Starch Cracker Dough(Elsevier, 2024) Berk, Berkay; Cankal, Yadigar Seyfi; Koroglu, Ebru; Yorulmaz, Hilal; Cavdaroglu, Elif; Unluturk, SevcanCracker is a popular snack, and their quality depends on the rheological properties of the dough during production. This study focused on the impact of different starch types (tapioca, corn, and potato) used in the same amount (30 g) on the rheology of starch cracker dough. Various rheological tests were conducted to assess the dough's properties. Linear viscoelastic properties were determined using oscillatory frequency and temperature sweep tests, while the nonlinear viscoelastic behavior was characterized through stress relaxation and creep recovery tests. Extensional rheological behavior was also examined. Additionally, the textural and thermal properties of the dough were monitored to understand starch gelatinization and its interactions with other components. In the linear viscoelastic region, no significant differences were found between different dough formulations. However, in the nonlinear viscoelastic region, the potato starch-containing formulation exhibited different viscoelastic and textural properties. Biaxial extensional rheological behaviors showed no significant variations between formulations. The temperature sweep test data from differential scanning calorimetry measurements were consistent with temperature sweep data. In summary, this study provides valuable insights into how different starches influence the rheological behavior of starch cracker dough, considering various degrees of deformation and temperature. These findings have implications for cracker production parameters.
