Article Citation - WoS: 58Citation - Scopus: 86Intrinsic Surface-Drying Properties of Bioadhesive Proteins(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2014) Akdoğan, Yaşar; Akdoğan, Yaşar; Huang, Kuo-Ying; Kageyama, Yoshiyuki; Danner, Eric W.; Miller, Dusty R.; Martinez Rodriguez, Nadine R.; Waite, J. Herbert; Han, Songi; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologySessile marine mussels must "dry" underwater surfaces before adhering to them. Synthetic adhesives have yet to overcome this fundamental challenge. Previous studies of bioinspired adhesion have largely been performed under applied compressive forces, but such studies are poor predictors of the ability of an adhesive to spontaneously penetrate surface hydration layers. In a force-free approach to measuring molecular-level interaction through surface-water diffusivity, different mussel foot proteins were found to have different abilities to evict hydration layers from surfaces - a necessary step for adsorption and adhesion. It was anticipated that DOPA would mediate dehydration owing to its efficacy in bioinspired wet adhesion. Instead, hydrophobic side chains were found to be a critical component for protein-surface intimacy. This direct measurement of interfacial water dynamics during force-free adsorptive interactions at solid surfaces offers guidance for the engineering of wet adhesives and coatings. Home and dry underwater: Repulsive hydration forces hinder wet adhesion in the absence of applied external forces. The direct measurement of hydration-water dynamics by NMR relaxometry at 10 GHz revealed that the most hydrophobic mussel adhesive protein, and not the most enriched with 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, effectively dries the surface and overcomes repulsive hydration forces to adsorb spontaneously to surfaces in preparation for adhesion.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 18Effect of Corn-Zein Coating on the Mechanical Properties of Polypropylene Packaging Films(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2011) Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Atik, İsa Doğan; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Özen, Fatma Banu; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03.08. Department of Food Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this study, a novel film structure of corn zein coated on polypropylene (PP) synthetic films for food packaging applications was developed, and the mechanical properties of the resulting coated film, as affected by the coating formulation, were investigated. Composite structures of PP films coated with corn zein were obtained through a simple solvent casting method. Different amounts of corn zein (5 and 15%) were dissolved in 70 and 95% aqueous ethanol solution at 50 C. Solutions of corn zein plasticized with poly(ethylene glycol) and glycerol (GLY) at various levels (20 and 50%) were applied on corona-discharge-treated PP. A statistical analysis based on full factorial design was performed to examine the influence of the coating formulation on the final properties of the corn-zein-coated PP films. A significant (p < 0.05) improvement in the coated film’s mechanical properties was observed compared to those of the uncoated PP. The effect of the plasticization of the coating solutions was also quite significant. In general, GLY provided better improvements in the mechanical properties of the corn-zein-coated PP films. The statistical analysis of the results showed that the corn-zein and plasticizer concentrations and plasticizer type used in the coating formulations were more effective parameters and had significant effects on the mechanical behavior of the coated PP films. In conclusion, corn-zein coatings could have potential as alternatives to conventional synthetic polymers used in composite multilayer structures for food packaging applications.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Genetic Multivariate Calibration for Near Infrared Spectroscopic Determination of Protein, Moisture, Dry Mass, Hardness and Other Residues of Wheat(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2006) Özdemir, Durmuş; Özdemir, Durmuş; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyDetermination of wheat flour quality parameters, such as protein, moisture, dry mass by wet chemistry analyses takes long time. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) coupled with multivariate calibration offers a fast and nondestructive alternative to obtain reliable results. However, due to the complexity of the spectra obtained from NIR, some wavelength selection is generally required to improve the predictive ability of multivariate calibration methods. In this study, two different wheat data sets are investigated with the aim of establishing successful calibration models using NIR spectra of wheat samples. The first data set (material 1) was obtained from the ftp address (ftp://ftp.clarkson.edu/pub/hopkepk/Chemdata/) and contained 100 NIR spectra of wheat of which wet chemical analysis of protein and moisture content were done with reference methods. The second data set (material 2) contained 176 spectra and was downloaded from http://www.spectroscopynow.com/Spy/basehtml/SpyH/1,1181, 2-1-2-0-0-newsdetail-0-74,00.html. This wheat data set was given with the quality parameters, such as protein content, moisture content, other residues, dry mass, protein content in dry mass and hardness that were determined previously. Multivariate calibration models generated with genetic inverse least squares method demonstrated very good prediction results for the parameter mentioned here. Overall, the average per cent recoveries (APR) ranged between 99.23% and 100.34% with a standard deviation (SD) ranging from 0.34 to 3.15 for all the parameters investigated, except hardness. The APR value of hardness was 103.32 with the SD of 14.97.
