    Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci for the Nutritional Value of Fresh Market Tomato
    (Springer, 2023) Gürbüz Çolak, Nergiz; Tek Eken, Neslihan; Ülger, Mehmet; Frary, Anne; Doğanlar, Sami
    The incidence of many diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes, is associated with malnutrition and an unbalanced daily diet. Vegetables are an important source of vitamins and essential compounds for human health. As a result, such metabolites have increasingly become the focus of breeding programs. Tomato is one of the most popular components of our daily diet. Therefore, the improvement of tomato's nutritional quality is an important goal. In the present study, we performed targeted metabolic profiling of an interspecific Solanum pimpinellifolium x S. lycopersicum inbred backcross line (IBL) population and identified quantitative trait loci responsible for the nutritional value of tomato. Transgressive segregation was apparent for many of the nutritional compounds such that some IBLs had extremely high levels of various amino acids and vitamins compared to their parents. A total of 117 QTLs for nutritional traits including 62 QTLs for amino acids, 18 QTLs for fatty acids, 12 QTLs for water-soluble vitamins, and 25 QTLs for fat-soluble vitamins were identified. Moreover, almost 24% of identified QTLs were confirmed in previous studies, and 40 possible gene candidates were found for 18 identified QTLs. These findings can help breeders to improve the nutritional value of tomato.

    Controlled Release Properties of Zein-Fatty Acid Blend Films for Multiple Bioactive Compounds
    (American Chemical Society, 2014) Arcan, İskender; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet
    To develop edible films having controlled release properties for multiple bioactive compounds, hydrophobicity and morphology of zein films were modified by blending zein with oleic (C18:1)Δ9, linoleic (C18:2)Δ9,12, or lauric (C12) acids in the presence of lecithin. The blend zein films showed 2-8.5- and 1.6-2.9-fold lower initial release rates for the model active compounds, lysozyme (LYS) and (+)-catechin (CAT), than the zein control films, respectively. The change of fatty acid chain length affected both CAT and LYS release rates while the change of fatty acid double bond number affected only the CAT release rate. The film morphologies suggested that the blend films owe their controlled release properties mainly to the microspheres formed within their matrix and encapsulation of active compounds. The blend films showed antilisterial activity and antioxidant activity up to 81 μmol Trolox/cm2. The controlled release of multiple bioactive compounds from a single film showed the possibility of combining application of active and bioactive packaging technologies and improving not only safety and quality but also health benefits of packed food.
