Article 3D-Printed Soy Protein and Microalga Films: A Sustainable Approach with Antioxidant Functionality(Elsevier, 2026) Barekat, Sorour; Dogan, Buse; Uzuner, Sibel; Ubeyitogullari, AliThis study investigated the optimization and fabrication of soy protein isolate (SPI)-green microalga (MA) 3D-printed films. For optimizing 3D printing, the effects of MA concentration, nozzle size (0.52-0.81 mm), and speed (10-20 mm/s) were examined. The printed films were then dried, and color, mechanical properties, water vapor permeability, structure, and antioxidant activity were analyzed. All the formulations showed shear-thinning behavior and rapid recovery. The concentration of 3 % MA, nozzle size of 0.72 mm, and printing speed of 20 mm/s were selected as the optimized conditions for the best 3D printability. Compared with the control, their elongation at break decreased by more than 16 %, while puncture strength increased by over 12 %, and tensile strength rose by more than 40 %. Water vapor permeability decreased by more than 40 % with the addition of MA. The microstructure images and secondary structure confirmed the formation of a less porous and stronger gel network with an increase in MA concentration from 0 to 5 % (w/w). The antioxidant properties of SPI films also increased two-fold with the addition of MA. These findings highlight that the 3D-printed edible films with antioxidant properties could be used as an eco-friendly and nutritious alternative to petroleum-based films in food packaging.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3High-Pressure Processing of Traditional Hardaliye Drink: Effect on Quality and Shelf-Life Extension(MDPI, 2023) Atmaca, Bahar; Demiray, Merve; Akdemir Evrendilek, Gülsün; Bulut, Nurullah; Uzuner, SibelHardaliye, as one of the oldest and lesser known traditional beverages, is produced using red grape pomace from wine production. This drink production is achieved through lactic acid fermentation, with the addition of sour cherry leaves and mustard seeds-either heat-treated, grinded, or whole-in various concentrations. Hardaliye has a very short shelf life; thus, efforts have recently been made to process hardaliye with novel processing technologies in order to achieve shelf-life extension. Therefore, the high-hydrostatic-pressure (HHP) processing of hardaliye was performed to determine its impact on important properties, including in microbial inactivation and shelf-life extension, with respect to a Box-Behnken experimental design. Maximum log reductions of 5.38 & PLUSMN; 0.6, 5.10 & PLUSMN; 0.0, 5.05 & PLUSMN; 0.2, and 4.21 & PLUSMN; 0.0 with HHP were obtained for Brettanomyces bruxellensis, total mesophilic aerobic bacteria, Lactobacillus brevis, and total mold and yeast, respectively. The processing parameters of 490 MPa and 29 & DEG;C for 15 min were found as the optimal conditions, with the response variables of an optical density at 520 nm and the inactivation of L. brevis. The samples processed at the optimal conditions were stored at both 4 and 22 & DEG;C for 228 d. While the non-treated control samples at 4 and 22 & DEG;C were spoiled at 15 and 3 d, the HHP-treated samples were spoiled after 228 and 108 d at 4 and 22 & DEG;C, respectively.
