    Novel Edible Films of Pectins Extracted From Low-Grade Fruits and Stalk Wastes of Sun-Dried Figs: Effects of Pectin Composition and Molecular Properties on Film Characteristics
    (Elsevier, 2023) Çavdaroğlu, Elif; Büyüktaş, Duygu; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Çavdaroğlu, Elif; Büyüktaş, Duygu; 03.08. Department of Food Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    This study aimed to explore the characteristics of novel fig pectin films. For this purpose, films of crude fig pectin (CFP) extracted from low-grade sun-dried fruits and films of crude (CSP) and purified (PSP) stalk pectins extracted from stalk waste of processed high-quality sun-dried figs were evaluated for their physicochemical properties. The properties of pristine (CFP, CSP, and PSP films) and CaCl2 cross-linked films (CFP–Ca++, CSP-Ca++and PSP-Ca++ films) of fig pectins were also compared with films of commercial citrus (CP and CP-Ca++) and apple (AP, AP-Ca++) pectins. The cross-linking improved the mechanical strength and barrier properties of most films. CP, CP-Ca++, PSP, and PSP-Ca++ films showed greater mechanical strength and stiffness than other films. PSP-Ca++, PSP and CP-Ca++ films showed the lowest water vapor permeability (6.28, 12.85, 14.96 g.mm.m−2.day−1.kPa−1, respectively) while CSP-Ca++, CP-Ca++, CP, PSP-Ca++ films showed the lowest oxygen permeability coefficients (5403, 8265, 10776, 11124 mL.μm.m−2.24h−1.atm−1, respectively). All cross-linked fig pectin films showed 2–3 fold lower degree of swelling than CP-Ca++ film. The CFP-Ca++ film showed the highest surface hydrophobicity (contact angle = 101.8°) but the lowest water solubility (32.8%) and degree of swelling. Analysis of Pearson's correlations between pectin properties and film characteristics revealed that galacturonic acid (GA) content affects the mechanical properties, while GA content, degree of esterification (DE), and acetylation affect the moisture barrier performance; finally, GA content and DE affect the oxygen barrier performance of pectin films. Films of stalk waste pectins showed some properties beyond the limits of those obtained from commercial pectins.

    A Review of Current and Future Food Applications of Natural Hydrocolloids
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2020) Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Farris, Stefano; Güleç, Şükrü; Türkyılmaz, Meltem; Güleç, Şükrü; 03.08. Department of Food Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The main aim of this review paper was to focus on current and potential future sources and food applications of natural hydrocolloids in the food industry. The emerging research trends, problems, new methods and alternative approaches in production, environmental concerns, market trends and newly discovered health benefits have been discussed for natural hydrocolloids of commercial relevance. The rheological and surface active properties, interactions, functional properties, films and coatings, encapsulation applications and nanotechnology uses of natural hydrocolloids have been discussed in the light of recent developments. This review also reflected the most up-to-date concepts of applying natural hydrocolloids to meet consumer's and food sector's sophisticated demands related to food products.

    Natural Hydrocolloids in the Food Sector - Recent Applications Beyond Conventional Uses
    (Wiley, 2020) Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Güleç, Şükrü; Farris, Stefano; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Türkyılmaz, Meltem; Güleç, Şükrü; 03.08. Department of Food Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    In food industry, natural hydrocolloids have been extensively used to increase the functionality of different food products such as beverages, bakery and confectionery, sauces and dressings, and meat and poultry. Conventional applications of hydrocolloids in the food industry are still based on their rheological and surface‐active properties (Dickinson, 2018; Nishinari et al., 2018; Yousefi & Jafari, 2019). However, recent developments in the hydrocolloids sector fuelled by sophisticated market demands and emerging new technologies expanded the applications of hydrocolloids beyond their conventional uses.

    Development of Pectin-Eugenol Emulsion Coatings for Inhibition of Listeria on Webbed-Rind Melons: a Comparative Study With Fig and Citrus Pectins
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2020) Çavdaroğlu, Elif; Çavdaroğlu, Elif; Farris, Stefano; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; 03.08. Department of Food Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The objective of this study was to employ pectin-based antimicrobial coatings for inhibition of Listeria on surfaces of whole webbed-rind melons that cause frequent outbreaks of listeriosis. For this purpose, emulsion-based coatings were developed using citrus pectin (CPEC) or pectin extracted from processing wastes of sun-dried figs (FPEC) and eugenol (EUG). The emulsions of FPEC and CPEC with EUG (droplet size range: 1.99-11.22 mu m) were highly stable for minimum 10 days at 10 degrees C. The FPEC-EUG films showed higher flexibility and degree of wettability than CPEC-EUG films. In contrast, CPEC-EUG films had a higher gas barrier performance against oxygen at 50% relative humidity than FPEC-EUG films. The zone inhibition tests showed that FPEC-EUG films are more effective against Listeria innocua than CPEC-EUG films. However, FPEC and CPEC coatings with 2% EUG caused 2.2 and 2.7 decimal inactivation of Listeria on Galia melons within 1 week, respectively. The pectin coatings with EUG could reduce the risk of listeriosis from webbed-rind melons.
