Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 21Utilization of Stalk Waste Separated During Processing of Sun-Dried Figs (ficus Carica) as a Source of Pectin: Extraction and Determination of Molecular and Functional Properties(Academic Press Inc., 2022) Çavdaroğlu, Elif; Yemenicioğlu, AhmetThis study aimed the utilization of fig stalk waste as an alternative pectin source. For this purpose, the characteristics of extracted stalk waste pectin (SP) were compared with those of citrus pectin (CP) and pectin extracted from defected substandard whole sun-dried figs (FP). The SP had a higher extraction yield (11.7%) than FP (9.4%). The galacturonic acid content and degree of esterification of SP (32.3 and 50.1%) were higher than those of FP (19.9 and 38.8%), but lower than those of CP (79.3 and 56.2%), respectively. The SP and CP had different sugar compositions (D-glucose, L-rhamnose, D-galactose and L-arabinose) and weight average molecular weights, but similar FTIR profiles. The SP showed almost 1.9 and 1.6-fold higher Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), and 2.7 and 2.0-fold higher water absorption capacity than CP and FP, respectively. SP at 3% (w/w) showed the second highest viscosity after CP and the highest emulsion stability. Gels of SP and CP at 1.75–3% range had similar firmness, but SP formed more fracturable gels than CP. Sun-dried fig stalk waste is a better source of pectin than defected substandard whole sun-dried figs. The SP could be utilized to develop functional food with alternative textural and rheological properties.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 9Antilisterial Effects of Lysozyme-Nisin Combination at Temperature and Ph Ranges Optimal for Lysozyme Activity: Test of Key Findings To Inactivate Listeria in Raw Milk(Academic Press Inc., 2021) Sözbilen, Gözde Seval; Yemenicioğlu, AhmetThis study aimed to determine antilisterial potential of lysozyme (LYS)-nisin (NIS) combination at temperatures and pHs optimal for LYS activity. Tests in buffers at pH 4.5 and 6.0 showed that heating at 50 or 60 °C combined with LYS-NIS caused higher Listeria innocua inactivation (- 6.2 to >6.6 log) than heating alone (- 0.05 to 5.5 log), or heating combined with LYS (- 4.34 to 6.0 log) or NIS (3.9 to >6.6). The antimicrobial performance of LYS-NIS in buffer at 50 °C was not pH-dependant (5.8–5.9 logs) while heating at 60 °C with LYS-NIS at pH 6.0 (>6.6 logs) caused higher Listeria reduction than that at pH 4.5 (5.7 logs). Heating at 50 °C for 45 min alone or in combination with LYS-NIS caused 0 and 5.5 logs Listeria reduction in milk, respectively. In contrast, Listeria inactivation in milk at 60 °C occurred mainly by heat (5.5 logs) with limited contribution of LYS and/or NIS. Milk heated at 50 °C maintained 73% of NIS and 63% of LYS activity. Application of LYS-NIS at 50 °C provides an opportunity to improve milk safety with less destruction of milk enzyme and microbial flora necessary to obtain desired ripening periods, and aroma and flavour in traditional cheeses. © 2020 Elsevier LtdArticle Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 35Physicochemical and Rheological Properties of Rice-Based Gluten-Free Blends Containing Differently Treated Chickpea Flours(Academic Press Inc., 2018) Kahraman, Gökçen; Harsa, Şebnem; Lucisano, Mara; Cappa, CarolaThis study focused on the evaluation of the physicochemical and rheological properties of chickpea flours and blends obtained by partially substituting rice flour (25 g/100 g) with raw, roasted and dehulled chickpea flour. The characteristics of the resultant doughs were evaluated. In comparison with rice flour, blends containing chickpea flours exhibited high protein and fat content, a reduced retrogradation tendency (setback values of 404–415 vs. 479 Brabender Unit) and a higher foaming capacity and stability, which can be beneficial for their use in baked food formulations. However, roasting decreased foaming capacity and stability. Even if the rheofermentographic test evidenced a slight reduction in dough development, high CO2 retention capacity (≥ 98%) and similar-to-lower leavening times were observed for doughs containing chickpea flours. Incorporating chickpea flours also caused an increase in the viscous and elastic moduli of rice-based doughs, resulting in a good structuring of the dough. The results of this study indicated that chickpea flours could be used as a healthy ingredient in gluten-free rice-based formulations.Article Citation - WoS: 27Citation - Scopus: 29Differentiation of Wines With the Use of Combined Data of Uv-Visible Spectra and Color Characteristics(Academic Press Inc., 2016) Şen, İlknur; Tokatlı, FigenUV-visible spectra and color parameters of monovarietal wines with orthogonal partial least square-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were shown to be practical and rapid methods for classification purposes. Red and white wines from the 2006-2009 vintages were characterized in terms of color, anthocyanin content and UV-visible spectra. Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon wines had high color density and intensity. Kalecik Karasi wines had the highest CIELab parameters and the lowest color density. Boğazkere and Öküzgözü wines showed similarities with respect to their high red color parameters and were distinct from other wines. Merlot, Syrah and Öküzgözü wines had the highest total anthocyanin content (61.9-55. mg/L as median values). White wines made from Chardonnay, Muscat and Emir grapes were found to have different color characteristics. The vintage-based discrimination of red wines was mostly apparent in total anthocyanin contents. Different UV wavelength regions were found to be effective in classification with respect to variety and vintage. Correct classification rates in the validation set were 100% and 75%, for varietal and vintage classifications, respectively. This study demonstrated the potential of combination of UV-visible spectra and color characteristics to be used in the authentication of wines.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6The Effect of Sporulation Medium on Alicyclobacillus Acidoterrestris Guaiacol Production in Apple Juice(Academic Press Inc., 2016) Molva, Çelenk; Baysal, Ayşe HandanThe present study evaluated the effect of sporulation medium on guaiacol formation from vanillin and vanillic acid by Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris DSM 3922 in the reconstituted apple juice (pH 3.82, °Brix 11.3). For sporulation, potato dextrose agar and Bacillus acidoterrestris agar were used. After heat-activation, spores were turned into vegetative cells and inoculated into juice samples to a final concentration of 103 or 105 CFU/mL. Samples were incubated at 37 °C for 264 h and guaiacol concentration was determined using peroxidase enzyme colourimetric assay. Based on the results, the conversion of vanillic acid into guaiacol was faster than that of vanillin among both cell suspensions. Also, there were no significant differences among any of the samples inoculated into apple juice spiked with vanillin at the end of the incubation period (P > 0.05). In the case of vanillic acid, the guaiacol concentrations were significantly different among cells activated from spores produced on PDA and BATA (P < 0.05). The obtained results suggested that type of sporulation medium composition may affect the guaiacol concentration depending on inoculum level and type of precursor present in the apple juice.Article Citation - WoS: 55Citation - Scopus: 59Prediction of Various Chemical Parameters of Olive Oils With Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(Academic Press Inc., 2015) Uncu, Oğuz; Özen, BanuVibrational spectroscopic techniques offer advantages such as rapid and accurate measurements with minimum sample preparation and waste generation. In this study, it was aimed at determining some important quality parameters (oxidative stability, colour pigments, fatty acid profile and phenolic composition) of olive oils by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy as one of the vibrational spectroscopic methods. Partial least square calibration models were constructed in order to reveal any correlation between quality parameters and spectral data. Regression coefficients for developed models showed that oxidative stability (0.99), chlorophyll content (0.98), some major fatty acids (palmitic (0.87), oleic (0.94), and linoleic acids (0.97), saturated (0.91), monounsaturated (0.94) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (0.97)), hydroxytyrosol as a phenolic compound (0.97) and total phenolic content (0.99) were predicted successfully. Variable influence on the projection values indicated that palmitic, vanillic and cinnamic acids and hydroxytyrosol are the most significant contributors to oxidative stability of olive oils. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.Article Citation - WoS: 34Citation - Scopus: 39High Genetic and Phenotypic Variability of Streptococcus Thermophilus Strains Isolated From Artisanal Yuruk Yoghurts(Academic Press Inc., 2014) Erkuş, Oylum; Okuklu, Burcu; Yenidünya, Ali Fazıl; Harsa, ŞebnemStreptococcus thermophilus is a commonly used starter bacterium in dairy industry. It reduces the pH of milk rapidly and equilibrates the medium for the growth of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus during yoghurt fermentation. Efforts to increase the diversity of artisanal yoghurt starters are not only important to bring new strains with novel and desirable characteristics, but also for the preservation of natural diversity which diminishes with the overuse and spread of industrial starters to natural resources. In the present study, 14 artisanal yoghurt samples were processed for the isolation of promising strains for yoghurt starter culture production and 66 strains were subsequently characterized. They were all identified as S. thermophilus using species-specific PCR and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Genotypic diversity at the strain level was investigated by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and 22 homology groups were obtained. Further phenotypic characterization unearthed a significant phenotypic heterogeneity within homology groups, mostly with atypical novel character. Only 7 out of 66 strains showed S. thermophilus type-strain like phenotypic traits. Majority of the isolates were determined to be protease positive and fast milk acidifier to be used as yoghurt starter culture.Article Citation - WoS: 38Citation - Scopus: 49Antimicrobial Activity of Grape Seed Extract on Alicyclobacillus Acidoterrestris Dsm 3922 Vegetative Cells and Spores in Apple Juice(Academic Press Inc., 2015) Molva, Çelenk; Baysal, Ayşe HandanThe present study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of grape seed extract (GSE) against Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris vegetative cells and spores in apple juice (pH 3.82, °Brix 11.3) during storage at 37°C. After 336h, reductions in the cell numbers were 3.14, 3.55, 3.8, 4.1, and 4.63 logCFU/mL in the apple juice with 0.23, 0.45, 0.9, 1.8, and 3.6% of GSE, respectively. The Weibull was found to be the best fitted model for cell inactivation kinetics (R2>0.988). Moreover, the spores produced on different sporulation media (potato dextrose agar, malt extract agar, Bacillus acidoterrestris agar, and Bacillus acidocaldarius agar) were treated with GSE (0-1.9%, v/v). While control spores in apple juice without GSE increased by 2.2-2.6logCFU/mL within the first 48h, 0.9% and 1.8% of GSE inhibited the growth from all spore suspensions. Finally, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated that the main target of the GSE may be the membrane of A. acidoterrestris cells leading to leakage of cellular constituents and may prevent the development of spores into vegetative cells. This study highlights the potential use of the by-products of the fruit juice/beverage industry as natural antimicrobials to inhibit the growth of A. acidoterrestris. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.Article Citation - WoS: 29Citation - Scopus: 31Evaluation of Bioactivity of Pomegranate Fruit Extract Against Alicyclobacillus Acidoterrestris Dsm 3922 Vegetative Cells and Spores in Apple Juice(Academic Press Inc., 2015) Molva, Çelenk; Baysal, Ayşe HandanThis research evaluated the antimicrobial activity of commercial pomegranate extract (POMELLA®, PE) against Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris vegetative cells and spores (approximately 105 log CFU/mL) in apple juice (pH 3.82, °Brix 11.3) during storage at 37°C. After 240h, the cell counts were reduced from the initial log count (CFU/mL) by 2.84, 3.26, 3.32, 3.46 and 3.56 in the apple juice with PE at the concentrations of 2.5, 5, 10, 20 and 40μg/mL, respectively. On the other hand, counts of the control reached 7.36 log CFU/mL after 24h. The Weibull model satisfactorily described the survival curves of cell inactivation kinetics (R2 > 0.983). While the growth of all spores obtained from different sporulation media (potato dextrose agar, malt extract agar, Bacillus acidoterrestris agar, and Bacillus acidocaldarius agar) was inhibited in the apple juice with PE (2.5-40μg/mL), the control spores increased by 1.9-2.2 log CFU/mL after 336h. Based on the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging, vegetative cells indicated substantial damage and spore germination was inhibited in the apple juice with PE. The results showed that PE can have possible uses as a natural antimicrobial to control the growth of A.acidoterrestris vegetative cells and spore germination in the apple juice. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.Article Citation - WoS: 104Citation - Scopus: 123Potential of Turkish Kabuli Type Chickpea and Green and Red Lentil Cultivars as Source of Soy and Animal Origin Functional Protein Alternatives(Academic Press Inc., 2013) Aydemir, Levent Yurdaer; Yemenicioğlu, AhmetIn this study, functional properties of proteins from Turkish Kabuli type chickpea (CPEs) and green and red lentil cultivars (LPEs) were characterized and compared with those of soy and animal proteins. The LPEs and whey protein isolate (WPI) showed higher soluble and total protein content than the other proteins. CPEs showed the highest oil absorption capacity (10.9-14.59 g/g), followed by LPEs (6.90 -10.44 g/g), soy protein extract (8.23 g/g), and egg white proteins (6.37 g/g). The highest water absorption capacities were obtained for bovine gelatin (BGEL) (8.84 g/g), CPEs (4.90-7.94 g/g) and soy protein isolate (7.94 g/g). The foaming capacities of BGEL and fish gelatin (FGEL), and emulsifying capacity of WPI were slightly higher than those of CPEs and LPEs, but most stable emulsions and foams were formed by chickpea and lentil proteins. The least gelling concentration of CPEs (5-7 g/100 g) came second after BGEL (3 g/100 g). The 2-D electrophoresis revealed the detailed isoelectric point (between 4.5 and 5.9) and molecular weight patterns of chickpea and lentil proteins. This study clearly showed that the functional properties of Kabuli chickpea proteins are superior than those of lentil proteins and most of the studied soy and animal proteins.
