    Development of Pro-Angiogenic Wound Dressings From 2-Deoxy (2ddr)-Loaded Decellularized Plant Leaves
    (SPRINGER, 2023) Dikici, Serkan; Çavdaroğlu, Çağrı
    Traditional wound dressings are essential for the treatment of acute and superficial wounds. However, complex wounds require the use of bioactive dressings that promote healing alongside providing a safe barrier for the coverage of the wound site. The addition of growth factors is usually the primary choice to fabricate functionalized wound dressing. However, it is also the main reason for the increase in the cost of a wound dressing and may be associated with several drawbacks, such as the need for a precise drug delivery system to be able to be administered at a narrow effective dose range. 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) is a cost-effective and promising pro-angiogenic agent that indirectly stimulates vascular endothelial growth factor production to stimulate angiogenesis, and consecutively accelerate wound healing. In this study, we aimed to fabricate a novel wound dressing from 2dDR-loaded decellularized spinach leaves and evaluated its bioactivity on human endothelial cells in vitro. Our results demonstrated that a biocompatible wound dressing biomaterial could successfully be fabricated via the decellularization of spinach leaves using chemical decellularization. The success of decellularization was confirmed quantitatively and qualitatively via determination of the DNA content and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, respectively. 2dDR was then easily incorporated into the dressings via physical absorption and released from them in 5 days. The release of 2dDR-releasing decellularized spinach leaves was observed to increase the viability and metabolic activity of human endothelial cells in vitro over 7 days. In conclusion, we demonstrated the fabrication of a novel functionalized biomaterial combining decellularized plant tissues with a promising pro-angiogenic agent, and 2dDR-loaded decellularized spinach leaves appear to have great potential to be used as a bioactive wound dressing to promote angiogenesis and, consecutively, wound healing.

    Authentication of Pomegranate Juice in Binary and Ternary Mixtures With Spectroscopic Methods
    (Elsevier, 2023) Aykaç, Başak; Çavdaroğlu, Çağrı; Özen, Banu
    Fruit juices are among the most commonly adulterated food products and especially pomegranate juice as a high value product is mixed with different adulterants for unfair economic profit. It was aimed to investigate the performances of UV–visible and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies combined with chemometric methods to determine adulteration of pomegranate juice with dark colored sour cherry and black carrot juices. Binary and ternary mixtures of pomegranate juice with 2 adulterants were prepared at 5–25% levels. After various data transformations, both spectroscopic data of authentic and adulterated samples were evaluated with different chemometric classification tools. Classification models with 97% correct classification rate for validation set were obtained both for UV–visible and FTIR spectral data. Accurate predictions of adulterant concentration were also achieved with chemometric models using both spectroscopic data. These spectroscopic techniques provide rapid and accurate prediction of pomegranate juice adulteration in binary and ternary mixtures with dark colored juices.
