Article Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 33Preparation and Characterization of Polyacrylonitrile Membranes Modified With Polyelectrolyte Deposition for Separating Similar Sized Proteins(Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Yaşar Mahlıçlı, Filiz; Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide; Yürekli, YılmazOne of the challenges faced by ultrafiltration membranes is to separate proteins with a small difference in their molecular weights. Recently, some researchers tried to overcome this problem by using charged membranes. This study examined the use of layer by layer deposition of polyelectrolytes on the chemically-modified polyacyronitrile membrane to increase the selectivity of the ultrafiltration. The membranes were prepared by wet-phase inversion technique and polyethylenimine (PEI) and alginate (ALG) were chosen as cationic and anionic polyelectrolytes for the modification of the surfaces. Sieving coefficient data were obtained with myoglobin and lysozyme as model proteins. The influences of solution pH, ionic strengths of the protein and polyelectrolyte solution and the number of polyelectrolyte bilayers on both selectivity and throughput were investigated. The highest selectivity and throughput were achieved with the 1-bilayer PEI-ALG coated polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane. Increasing the number of coating bilayers or the ionic strength of the protein solution or adding salt into the polyelectrolyte coating solution decreased both the maximum selectivity and throughput of the modified membranes.Article Citation - WoS: 153Citation - Scopus: 192Development of Cellulose Acetate Based Antimicrobial Food Packaging Materials for Controlled Release of Lysozyme(Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Gemili, Seyhun; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Alsoy Altınkaya, SacideAntimicrobial packaging materials were obtained by incorporation of lysozyme into cellulose acetate (CA) films. In order to achieve controlled release of lysozyme, the structure of the films was changed from highly asymmetric and porous to dense by modulating the composition of the initial casting solution. The highest release rate, soluble lysozyme activity and antimicrobial activity were obtained with the film prepared from 5% CA solution including 1.5% lysozyme. Increasing CA content in the casting solution decreased the porosity of the films, hence, reduced the release rate, maximum released lysozyme activities and the antimicrobial activities of the films. In contrast, immobilized lysozyme activities and the tensile strength of the films increased. The incorporation of lysozyme did not cause significant reductions in tensile strength and elongation at break values except in films prepared with 15% CA. This study showed the good potential of asymmetric CA films to achieve controlled release in antimicrobial packaging.
