Article Citation - Scopus: 13Modification of Pea Protein Isolates by High-Intensity Ultrasonication: Functional, Structural and Nutritional Properties(Elsevier Ltd, 2024) Ozkan,G.; Tataroglu,P.; Gulec,S.; Capanoglu,E.The current study aims to modify the functional, physical, structural and nutritional characteristics of pea protein isolate. High-intensity ultrasound treatment was used at 20 kHz frequency and 25 % amplitude for 10 (US10), 20 (US20), or 30 (US30) min. Results indicated that ultrasound application enhanced the protein solubility and zeta potential. When compared to control samples, the foaming capacity (FC) and stability (FS) as well as emulsion activity (EA) and stability (ES) were also increased from 157.5, 42.03, 46.25 and 53.75 % up to 182.5, 81.57, 72.50 and 67.50 %, respectively. Besides, particle size was found to be lower for ultrasound treated samples (92.9–131.1 nm) in comparison to that of untreated commercial pea protein isolate (161.9 nm). Moreover, while the bioaccessibility of pea protein in untreated sample was calculated as 28.90 %, ultrasonication increased the retention of pea protein up to 49.36 %. It can be concluded from the results that the ultrasonication process can be used as an advantageous, green and non-thermal tool for obtaining protein isolates with improved techno-functional properties and nutritional quality. Therefore, this treatment might improve the characteristics, and thus increase the utilization of plant-based proteins, especially pea protein, in various food systems. © 2024Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Sustainable Production of Aging-Resistant Bitumen: Waste Engine Oil Modification(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2021) Gökalp, İslam; Uz, Volkan EmreUsing waste engine oil (WEOIL) within bituminous binders might be one of the most energy-efficient and sustainable means of producing aging-resistant bitumen due to the antioxidative properties of WEOIL. In this paper, the use of WEOIL to obtain aging-resistant bitumen and its optimum rates for short and long terms were investigated. In this regard, a base bitumen was modified with WEOIL in certain rates ranging from 1% to 5% by weight of bitumen. Then base and oil-modified bitumen samples were subjected to aging. To define the changes in rheological properties of bitumen based on rutting, fatigue, and thermal cracking resistance, dynamic shear and bending beam rheometer tests were performed on each sample. Furthermore, an aging index (AI) analysis was performed for both the short- and long-term aging conditions to express the effect of WEOIL on aging resistance of the bitumen. According to the AI analysis, short-term-aging-resistant bitumen is obtained by adding 3.5% WEOIL to the base bitumen, while a 5.8% contribution rate is required to avoid the long-term aging effect. Moreover, the increase in rate of WEOIL content improved the low-temperature cracking resistance. Consequently, utilizing WEOIL for production of aging-resistant bitumen can provide environmental and economic benefits based on conservation of natural resources and waste recycling.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 11Effect of Different Acidity Modifications on the Activity and Selectivity on H-Zsm5 Zeolites in N-Butene Isomerization(Springer Verlag, 2014) Kılıç, Emre; Yılmaz, SelahattinH-ZSM-5 was modified by silylation [tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and triaminopropyltriethoxysilane], alkali (NaOH), acid (HCl) and ammoniumhexafluorosilicate (AHFS) treatments. The parent and modified zeolite forms were tested in n-butene isomerization. Modifications affected total acidities, the strength of the acid sites, pore sizes and surface areas of the H-ZSM-5 differently. The modifications decreased the conversion obtained by the parent catalyst. TEOS and alkali modifications did not promote formation of isobutene. Pre-alkali treatment before acid treatment increased selectivity to isobutene from 56.0 to 66.7 %, while conversion changed a little, it dropped from 52 to 50 %. AHFS modification provided the highest enhancement in selectivity to isobutene (87.5 %) for which n-butene conversion was dropped by about 10 % compared to H-ZSM-5. This was attributed to a slight modification of the pore size and to the reduction in strong and weak acid sites and generation of new Lewis acid sites.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 11Removal of Bacteria by Clinoptilolite Rich Mineral and Its Surfactant Modified Forms(Springer Verlag, 2013) Cansever Erdoğan, Beyhan; Ülkü, SemraBatch experiments were carried out to understand the potential values of clinoptilolite rich mineral and its surfactant modified forms in the removal of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Zeta potential and Fourier Transform IR analysis were performed to explain the possible interactions between the bacteria and the zeolite samples. The results revealed that hydrogen bonding was significant mechanism in the removal of bacteria with clinoptilolite rich mineral and anionic surfactant modified clinoptilolite rich mineral whereas both attractive electrostatic forces and hydrogen bonding were dominant mechanism in the removal of bacteria with cationic surfactant modified clinoptilolite rich mineral. Cationic and anionic surfactant modified clinoptilolite rich mineral are promising materials in removal of bacteria studies.
