Article Citation - Scopus: 7Oxidation of Oregano Essential Oil Using Zeolite-Encapsulated Cr(salpn) Complex(SCIBULCOM, 2017) Bayraktar, Oğuz; Yerkesikli, Alev GüneşFlexible ligand (H2salpn, N,N´-bis(salicylidene)propane-1,3-diamine) was used to form complex with Cr(III) metal ion inside the cages of NaY-zeolite. The encapsulation of Cr(salpn) complex was confirmed with Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). The encapsulated Cr(salpn) complex catalysed the liquid-phase oxidation of both carvacrol and thymol in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The conversion range was found be between 35–39% for the oxidation of both carvacrol and thymol. A high yield of thymoquinone (TQ) was obtained along with other side-products such as, thymohydroquinone (THQ) and benzoquinones (BQ). Oxidation of carvacrol and thymol provided a TQ yield of 31.2 and 34.5%, respectively. Oxidation reaction did not occur in the absence of a catalyst. The Cr(salpn)-NaY catalyst was catalytically active with an acceptable leaching performance. Oxidation of oregano essential oil having carvacrol as major compound caused the formation of an essential oil rich in TQ. The carvacrol present in the oregano essential oil was converted into mainly TQ with 33.6% yield and 70% total conversion as a result of the side-products namely BQ, THQ, and several undefined products. © 2017 Scibulcom Ltd.

Production of silk sericin powders, which can be incorporated into fibers used in textile industry, by spray drying method will enable value-added utilization of waste sericin. in this study aqueous sericin solutions were used as raw material for the production of dry powders using a lab-scale spray dryer. A linear regression analyses were employed, in addition to experimental design at two levels with three factors for the analysis of three responses: moisture content, particle type and agglomeration degree. The process factors were the drying air temperature (120°C and 160°C), the feed rate (1.25x10-4 and 2.5x10-4 dms -), and the concentration of sericin solutions of 10% and 30% (w/w) fed to the spray dryer. The three responses were analyzed statistically to determine the effective parameters and it was concluded that moisture content depended on three factors-drying air temperature being the dominant parameter. Particle size and shape depended mainly on feed rate and agglomeration depended on the moisture content of the product.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Antioxidative and Antimicrobial Screening of 19 Commercial Essential Oils in Turkey(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2009) Bulut, Çisem; Altıok, Evren; Bayraktar, Oğuz; Ülkü, SemraPlant oils have been used for wide variety purposes for many years in Turkey. These essential oils have usage in many areas such as perfumery, cosmetic, food flavoring and folkloric medicine. In the study, 19 commercial essential oils were studied by means of antibacterial and antioxidant capacity. Antibacterial test was performed against S. aureus, S. epidermidis, K. pneumoniae and E. coli using standard disc diffusion method. Penicillin, gentamicin and vancomycin discs were also included. Inhibition zones (mm) were recorded to indicate antibacterial property. Penicillin (44 mm) and vancomycin (14 mm) could inhibit only S. aureus. Except essential oils of Juniperus nana (Ardiç), Ocimum basilicum (Feslegen), Urtica dioica (Isirgan), Foeniculum vulgare (Rezene) ressential oils indicated antimicrobial activity against some of the test microorganims. The most active essential oil was found as Thymus serpyllum (Kekik). It indicated highest inhibition zones for other microorganisms among others. Antioxidant capacities were measured using photochemiluminescence (PCL) method. The highest antioxidant activity was measured for Dianthus caryophyllus (Karanfil) as 547.781 103 ug trolox/mL of oil. It was followed by Thymus serpyllum (Kekik), Lilium candidum (Zambak) and Matricaria chamomilla (Papatya). Especially, Thymus serpyllum and Dianthus caryophyllus have significant antimicrobial and antioxidant capacity therefore it could be suggested for further investigations and applications.Article Kinetic and Structural Characterization of Interaction Between Trypsin and Equisetum Arvense Extract(Türk Biyokimya Derneği, 2014) Uslu, Mehmet Emin; Bayraktar, Oğuz; Ceylan, ÇağatayObjective: In this study the inhibitory effect of E. arvense extract on trypsin activity and the effect of trypsin on E. arvense extract were studied. In addition the nature of the interaction between the extract and trypsin was investigated. Methods: The inhibitory effect ethanol extract of E. arvense on trypsin activity was determined using trypsin enzyme assay. The structural effects of the extract-trypsin interaction for the extract were analyzed by FTIR. Finally, the HPLC analyses were carried out to analyze the individual components of the extract and the supernatant and soluble precipitate phases. Results: E. arvense extract was found to decrease total percent activity of trypsin to 5% in 24 hour at 24 °C. FTIR analyses indicated that the interaction between trypsin and E. arvense extract caused changes in the structure and hydrogen bonding behavior and composition of the extract proteins. These interactions also caused the extract lipids to accumulate in the insoluble precipitate phase. Most of the phenolics remained in the supernatant phase enhancing the inactivation of trypsin. However, the precipitated compounds were shown to be of apolar in nature as shown in the HPLC chromatograms. Conclusion: The methods that were used showed that the high phenolic content of E. arvense was the main reason for the inhibition of trypsin enzyme activity by denaturing the enzyme.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Recovery of Proanthocyanidin From Waste of Turkish Traditional Product, Pekmez (molasses)(Japanese Society for Food Science and Technology, 2007) Altıok, Evren; Ülkü, Semra; Ülkü, Semra; Ülkü, Semra; Bayraktar, Oğuz; Bayraktar, Oğuz; Bayraktar, OğuzThe possibility of recovering of proanthocyanidin (PA) from the by-product of Turkish traditional product pekmez (molasses) industry, one of the agro industries, was investigated. In order to obtain optimum extraction conditions, the effects of different solvents and their aqueous forms were studied and the highest PA concentration was achieved as 31 (±0.68)g/L with acetone/water (30: 70, v/v) solution. The correlations between phenolic contents, PA concentrations and antioxidant capacities were shown. Antioxidant capacities of extracts were determined and the comparison of them with synthetic and commercial antioxidants was performed. The antioxidant capacity of PA extract from grape seed of molasses pomace was 93 (±1.43) TEAC values, which was relatively high compared with those of the synthetic antioxidants. Silk fibroin was used as a novel adsorbent to recover the PA from the grape seed extracts. Effect of parameters such as, solid-liquid ratio, pH and initial concentration of PA on the recovery performance was investigated. All parameters were found statistically significant parameters (P < 0.005) and the best adsorption conditions were found to be pH 5.5, initial concentration as 10 g/ml and solid-liquid ratio as 0.1 g/ml, which yielded the maximum percentage of adsorbed PA amount as 85.2%.
