Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13Co2 Adsorption and Dehydration Behavior of Linax, Knax, Canax and Cenax Zeolites(Springer Verlag, 2008) Erten, Yasemin; Güneş Yerkesikli, Alev; Çetin, Ali Emrah; Çakıcıoğlu Özkan, Seher FehimeIn this study, NaX synthetic zeolite was modified by following the conventional cation exchange method at 70°C. 82, 81, 79 and 48% of sodium were exchanged with Li+, K+, Ca2+ and Ce3 +, respectively. Thermal analysis data obtained by TG/DSC was used to evaluate the dehydration behavior of the zeolites. The strongest interaction with water and the highest dehydration enthalpy (ΔH) value were found for Li-exchanged form and compared with the other forms. The temperature required for complete dehydration increased with decreasing cation size (cation size: K+>Ce3+>Ca2+>Na+>Li +). CO2 adsorption at 5 and 25°C was also studied and the virial model equation was used to analyze the experimental data to calculate the Henry's law constant, K o and isosteric heat of adsorption at zero loading Q st. K o values decreased with increasing temperature and the highest Qst was obtained for K rich zeolite. It was observed that both dehydration and CO2 adsorption properties are related to cation introduced into zeolite structure.Article Citation - WoS: 125Citation - Scopus: 147Incorporation of Partially Purified Hen Egg White Lysozyme Into Zein Films for Antimicrobial Food Packaging(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Mecitoğlu, Çiğdem; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Arslanoğlu, Alper; Elmacı, Zehra Seda; Korel, Figen; Çetin, Ali EmrahLysozyme, partially purified from hen egg white by precipitation of non-enzyme protein with ethanol and lyophilized after dialysis, was incorporated into zein films. The recovery and specific activity of the enzyme after partial purification varied between 45% and 72% and 2173 and 3448 U/mg, whereas the activity of the lyophilized enzyme varied between 2900 and 3351 U/mg. The partially purified enzyme was very stable and lost almost no activity in lyophilized form or in zein films stored at -18 and 4°C for up to 8 and 4 months, respectively. During partial purification and in zein film preparation, ethanol treatment caused 123-137% and 132-315% activation of the enzyme, respectively. In zein films incorporated with 187-1318 U/cm2 (63-455 μg/cm2) lysozyme, the release rates at 4°C, changed between 7 and 29 U/cm2/min, increased at high lysozyme concentrations. Zein films incorporated with partially purified lysozyme showed antimicrobial effect on Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus plantarum. By the addition of disodium EDTA, the films also became effective on Escherichia coli. The results of this study showed that the partially purified lysozyme may be used in antimicrobial packaging to increase food safety.
