Book Part Citation - Scopus: 3Infrared Spectroscopy for the Detection of Adulteration in Foods(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2012) Özen, Banu; Tokatlı, FigenIR spectroscopy in combination with chemometric techniques is an effective tool for the detection of adulteration of high economic value food products such as wine, dietary supplements and olive oil. It provides practical and quick alternative to other commonly used analytical methods.Conference Object Antimicrobial Effect of Natural Antimicrobial Agents Against Foodborne Pathogens(Technical Research Center of Finland, 2008) Eroğlu, Erdal; Türe, Hasan; Soyer, Ferda; Özen, BanuBesides that foodborne infections and intoxications cause great danger for human health they have also adverse impact on the economics. Alternative food preservation techniques to produce safer foods e.g. systems containing natural antimicrobial agents have recently gained popularity. The consumers prefer foods with no chemical additives without shortened shelf-life. In this sense, natural antimicrobials have become promising alternatives for hurdle technology. However, most of the natural antimicrobials have limited spectrum of activity.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 16Dilute-Acid Hydrolysis of Apple, Orange, Apricot and Peach Pomaces as Potential Candidates for Bioethanol Production(American Scientific Publishers, 2013) Üçüncü, Can; Tarı, Canan; Demir, Hande; Büyükkileci, Ali Oğuz; Özen, BanuChemical composition of four selected fruit pomaces (agro-industrial wastes) was evaluated. The effect of temperature, time, acid concentration and solid:liquid (S:L) ratio on dilute-acid hydrolysis of selected pomaces were investigated using 24 factorial and central composite design and optimum hydrolysis conditions were determined. A preliminary study was initiated using apple hydrolysate and the fungus Tricoderma harzianum in order to explore and demonstrate their potential uses in bioethanol production. Chemical composition of pomaces was promising as fermentation media. The highest reducing sugar yield from the optimization step was 31%, 49%, 56% and 52% for apple, apricot, orange and peach pomaces, respectively under optimum hydrolysis conditions. Neither furfural nor hydroxmethylfurfural (HMF) were detected in hydrolysates. The highest bioethanol production (1.67 g/L) was obtained in 6 days in a non-static incubator using Tricoderma harzianum pregrown in minimal medium. It was demonstrated that selected pomaces holds potential for bioethanol production and can be eliminated without being potential waste problem to the environment, with economical return. Although, this work is an initial study in showing the potential of these pomaces and T. harzianum in bioethanol production, an extensive study on the optimization of fermentation parameters is recommended for further increase of bioethanol production.
