    Antidiabetic and Anticancer Properties of Sun-Dried Fig (Ficus Carica) Stalk Pectin: Effects on Intestinal Glucose Absorption and Colon Cancer Cell Growth
    (Elsevier, 2025) Baser, Filiz; Cavdaroglu, Elif; Yemenicioglu, Ahmet; Gulec, Sukru
    This study aims to characterize the physiological activity of fig stalk pectin (FSP) in terms of antidiabetic and anticancer activities. Also, the potency of FSP has been interpreted as a functional food ingredient in yogurt. The galacturonic acid content (65 %), degree of esterification (63 %), and enzymatic sugar analysis showed that FSP is a high methoxyl pectin rich in RG-I content (similar to 22 %). Anti-diabetic characteristics of FSP demonstrated that FSP inhibited 2-deoxyglucose uptake into CaCo-2 cells and reduced glucose absorption in the intestinal transport system after being added as an ingredient in yogurt at the concentration of 2 % (w/w). The antidiabetic activity of FSP was attributed to its capacity to modify the rheological properties of yogurt with a high-water binding capacity (10 g/g), and it increased the viscosity of digested yogurt samples considerably (from 89 to 110 Cp). Moreover, the characterization of anticancer properties showed that FSP inhibited the proliferation of colon cancer CaCo-2 cells by disturbing cell cycle progression, leading to S phase arrest, and showing apoptosis-inducing ability. Further research, including in vivo and clinical trials, is necessary to validate the observed health benefits of FSP.

    Development of a Yeast-Free Bread Using Legume and Nut Flours in a Gluten-Free Flour: Techno-Functional Characteristics and Sensory Evaluation
    (Wiley, 2024) Tuna, Ayca; Başer, Filiz; Ortiz-Sola, Jordi; Tokatlı, Figen; Lopez-Mas, Laura; Baser, Filiz; Kallas, Zein; Aguilo-Aguayo, Ingrid; Tokatli, Figen
    This study aimed to investigate the effect of combined use of legume and nut flours on physical, nutritional and sensory properties of yeast-free bread by substituting gluten-free flour with hazelnut and white bean flours. Yeast-free bread containing a mixture of 30% hazelnut and white bean flours was found to have the lowest hardness (9.04 N) and the largest specific volume (1.51 mL g-1) compared to the reference gluten-free bread (18 N and 1.43 mL g-1) using a mixture design. Hazelnut and bean flours improved the in vitro starch digestion, reducing rapidly digestible starch by 29% and increasing resistant starch compared to the reference bread. Free choice profiling sensory analysis revealed that the developed breads containing nuts and legumes differed from the standard gluten-free formulation and a commercial product available on the market. The combined use of bean and hazelnut flours was demonstrated as functional ingredients for enhancement of nutritional, sensory and textural aspects. Gluten- and yeast-free bread formulated using combination of white bean and hazelnut flours had significantly better textural and nutritional properties. Free choice profiling showed the different characteristics of the new product compared to standard gluten-free breads based on rice flour and corn starch.dagger image
