Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1A Recycling Route of Plastics Via Electrospinning: From Daily Wastes To Functional Fibers(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2019) Isık, Tuğba; Horzum,N.; Demir, Mustafa MuammerSince large-scale plastic production has begun in the 1940s, plastics have been produced and used globally, bringing many advantages to modern life. The consumption of plastics has increased exponentially due to their low cost, chemical resistance, lightness, durability and ability to combine with other materials. However, plastic materials represent high tonnage in urban wastes, and it is known that these plastics discarded at the end of their useful life by filling the landfill sites. Electrospinning is a well-established and versatile technique for the fabrication of submicron fibers. In addition, it is a promising approach for the recycling of waste polymers without using complex methodologies. In this chapter, utilization of electrospinning approach for the recycling of daily wastes will be discussed. The literature about the daily wastes of both synthetic materials and natural/agricultural materials will be analyzed, and the applications of these materials will be given in detail. © 2019 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston.

The most effective plasticizer was LA (400% elongation at break [EB] at 4%), while MA (189% EB at 4.5%) and TA (68% EB at 5%) showed moderate and limited plasticizing effects, respectively. The LA- and MA-loaded films maintained their flexibility during 30-day storage at 4°C or 25°C. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis suggested that the plasticization of LA and MA could be related to secondary structural changes in zein such as increased α-helix and random coils (mainly by MA) and spaced/modified intermolecular (only by LA) and intramolecular (mainly by MA) β-sheets. Atomic force and scanning electron microscopy showed that LA and MA gave more homogenous and smoother films than TA. Films with LA showed the highest water vapour permeability followed by those of control, MA- and TA-loaded films. Films with 3%–4% LA or MA formed clear zones on Listeria innocua and Klebsiella pneumonia, but only films with LA formed clear zones on Escherichia coli. All OA-loaded films gave unclear zones on Staphylococcus aureus in disc-diffusion tests, but this bacterium was inactivated rapidly in antimicrobial tests based on surface inoculation tests. LA is the best OA to develop flexible antimicrobial films from zein, an industrial by-product that films could not have been utilized as a widespread packaging material due to their brittleness. © 2021 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Neo-Clerodanes From Teucrium Divaricatum Subsp. Divaricatum and Their Biological Activity Assessment(Elsevier, 2023) Aydoğan, Fadime; Ali, Zülfiqar; Zülfiqar, Fazila; Karaalp, Canan; Khan, Ikhlas A.; Bedir, ErdalFifteen neo-clerodane diterpenoids (1–15), including two undescribed glycosides, teudivaricosides A (1) and B (2), together with a known iridoid glycoside (16) and a phenylpropanoid glycoside (17) from the whole plant of Teucrium divaricatum subsp. divaricatum were isolated. Their structures were determined by spectral data analysis including 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS. Neo-clerodane diterpenoids were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities. None of them showed significant antimicrobial activity against various bacterial and fungal strains (up to 20 µg/mL). All tested compounds were inactive up to the highest tested concentration of 50 µM on iNOS inhibitory activity.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Synthesis and Antifungal and Antibacterial Bioactivities of Diborolanes Containing Arylamines(Elsevier, 2023) Aygün, Muhittin; Sevinçek, Resul; Özgener, Hüseyin; Bıyık, Hacı Halil; Metin, Kubilay; Şahin, Yüksel; Poyrazoğlu Çoban, Esra; Gürbüz, BurçinA good yield of 1,2-diarylamino-1,2-diborolanes 2 was obtained from the reaction of 1,2-dichloro-1,2-diborolane 1 and ArNHLi (an anilide). The structures of these new derivatives were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The molecular structures of 2a and 2b were also determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Antimicrobial activities of synthesized compounds against some Gram-positive and -negative bacteria and yeasts were determined. Some compounds were found to have strong antibacterial and antifungal properties, especially against the bacterium, S. pneumonia, which is the causative agent of pneumonia, and the fungus, C. albicans, which is the causative agent of candidiasis. The compounds 2a and 3 had a powerful effect (compound 2a and 3 = 1 μgmL−1) against S. pneumoniae ATCC 27336 bacteria. In addition, compounds 2a, 3 and 2f were observed to have strong effects (compound 2a, 3, 2f = 2 μgmL−1) against C. albicans ATCC 10231 and C. utilis ATCC 9950. The results obtained were found to be more effective than the MIC values (128–64 μgmL−1) of Streptomycin and Flukanozol drugs used for bacteria and yeasts. The results of our study show that the synthesized substances can be used for new drug applications that are being developed against infectious diseases in the pharmaceutical industry. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 91,2-Diborolanes With Strong Donor Substituents: Synthesis and High Antimicrobial Activity(Academic Press, 2021) Şahin, Yüksel; Poyrazoğlu Çoban, Esin; Sevinçek, Resul; Bıyık, Halil H.; Özgener, Hüseyin; Aygün, Muhittin1,2-diborolanes with strong and without strong donor substituents have been described, and are also referred to as 1,2-diboracyclopentane.

Though, an annual incidence of human listeriosis is between two and ten reported cases per million in EU countries. Because of its high case fatality rate, listeriosis ranks among the most frequent causes of death due to food-borne illness. L. monocytogenes and C. jejuni has been shown to adapt to different environmental stress factors, including disinfectants. Salmonella enteritidis, C. jejuni and L. monocytogenes may also form a biolfim which helps to survive in the environment. For that reason, the food industrial hygiene has become important to avoid contamination of raw food and food products with these pathogens.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13Capsaicin Emulsions: Formulation and Characterization(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2017) Akbaş, Elif; Söyler, Betül; Öztop, Mecit HalilOleoresin capsicum, the oil extract of chili pepper, is mainly composed of capsaicin. Capsaicin is a hydrophobic volatile compound exhibiting antimicrobial activity against various microorganisms. Capsaicin in the form of an emulsion-based carrier system could be a good alternative to enhance bioavailability and simultaneously to increase the shelf-life of food. In this study, capsaicin emulsions were formulated using three different surfactants (Tween 80, commercial soy lecithin, and sucrose monopalmitate/SMP). Effects of aqueous phase composition, pH, and heating the pre-homogenized dispersion were investigated. For characterization, NMR relaxometry, color, turbidity, and antioxidant activity experiments were conducted. Antimicrobial efficacies of the emulsions were also evaluated against Escherichia coli andStaphylococcus aureus. Mean particle sizes of emulsions with surfactants Tween 80, lecithin, and SMP were found to be 68.30, 582.63, and 50.10 nm, respectively. Lecithin-containing emulsions showed the highest antimicrobial activity against S. aureus with 4.60 log reduction, whereas the same effect was observed in Tween 80-containing emulsions against E. coli with 3.86 log reduction. Emulsions prepared with SMP showed the highest antioxidant activity with 0.482 mg DPPH/L emulsion. The formulated emulsions have the potential to be used in food industry as antimicrobial food grade solutions.Article Citation - WoS: 51Citation - Scopus: 58Synthesis, Cytotoxic and Antimicrobial Activities of Novel Cobalt and Zinc Complexes of Benzimidazole Derivatives(Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Apohan, Elif; Yılmaz, Ülkü; Yılmaz, Özgür; Serindağ, Ayfer; Küçükbay, Hasan; Yeşilada, Özfer; Baran, YusufIn this study fourteen novel cobalt (II) or zinc (II) complexes of benzimidazoles were synthesized from the 1-(4-substitutedbenzyl)-1H-benzimidazoles and CoCl2·6H2O or ZnCl2. Cytotoxic activities of novel complexes were investigated against lung cancer cells (A549) and BEAS-2B. Three of the examined compounds (1, 4 and 5) showed high cytotoxic activity against A549. While the IC50 of the cisplatin was 2.56 μg/mL for A549 cells at 72 h, the IC50 values of compounds 1, 4 and 5 were 1.97, 1.87 and 1.9 μg/mL, respectively. IC50 values of these compounds for BEAS-2B cells were higher than the IC50 values for A549. While the IC50 values for BEAS-2B cells were 59.8, 24.5 and 32.67 μg/mL, respectively, the IC50 of the cisplatin was determined as 2.53 μg/mL in the present work. Three of the compounds have also high antimicrobial activity against all the microorganisms used.Article Citation - WoS: 180Citation - Scopus: 208Incorporating Phenolic Compounds Opens a New Perspective To Use Zein Films as Flexible Bioactive Packaging Materials(Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Arcan, İskender; Yemenicioğlu, AhmetTo eliminate their classical brittleness and flexibility problems zein films were plasticized by incorporation of different phenolic acids (gallic acid (GA), p-hydroxy benzoic acid (HBA) or ferulic acids (FA)) or flavonoids (catechin (CAT), flavone (FLA) or quercetin (QU)). The use of GA, CAT, FA and HBA at 3mg/cm2 eliminated the brittleness of films and gave highly flexible films showing elongations between 135% and 189%, while FLA and QU caused no considerable effect on film elongation. The films containing FA and HBA showed extreme swelling and lost their structural integrity when hydrated in distilled water. In contrast, CAT and GA containing films maintained their integrity following hydration. Most of the GA (up to 93%) and a considerable portion of CAT (up to 60%) in the films existed in soluble form. Therefore, the films showed antioxidant and/or antimicrobial activity. The TEACs of soluble phenolic compounds in 3mg/cm2 CAT and GA containing films were 21.0 and 86.2μmoltrolox/cm2, respectively. The GA containing films showed antimicrobial activity on Listeria monocytogenes and Campylobacter jejuni, while CAT showed no antimicrobial activity on these bacteria at the studied concentration. This work opens a new perspective for using zein in flexible bioactive packaging.
