Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 23Expanding Horizons of Active Packaging: Design of Consumer-Controlled Release Systems Helps Risk Management of Susceptible Individuals(Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Boyacı, Derya; Yemenicioğlu, AhmetThe objective of this study was the development of zein based antilisterial films that contain a consumer-controlled and pH-triggered release mechanism for lysozyme (LYS). For this purpose, composite films were formed by mixing hydrophobic zein with hydrophilic soy protein isolate (SPI) or lentil protein isolate (LPI). Active property of films was formed by maintaining 30 to 50% of total LYS in free form (LYSfree). On the other hand, the pH-triggered release mechanism was formed by exploiting attractive charge-charge interactions between LYS (pI: 11.4) and SPI or LPI (pI values ≈ 4.5), and binding remaining LYS (LYSbound) in film matrix. The pH-triggered release mechanism of composite films worked in buffers that had pHs varying between 4.3 and 7.3. The composite films bound majority of LYS between pH 5.3 and 7.3, but they released LYS at pH ≤ 4.5. The pH-triggered release of LYS was achieved with zein-LPI films activated by acidification in packed cold-stored beef, lamb and smoked salmon. The zein-SPI films performed pH-triggered LYS release in packed food with the exception of packed smoked salmon. The LYSfree and LYSbound released from pH-triggered films showed antimicrobial activity on Listeria innocua. Consumer-controlled release mechanisms enable increasing antimicrobial stress over pathogens during transfer from market to home and cold storage at home. Thus, such films could initiate personalized packaged food to help risk management of susceptible individuals.Article Citation - WoS: 36Citation - Scopus: 50Development of Activate-At Edible Antimicrobial Films: an Example Ph-Triggering Mechanism Formed for Smoked Salmon Slices Using Lysozyme in Whey Protein Films(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Boyacı, Derya; Korel, Figen; Yemencioğlu, AhmetThe aim of the present study was to develop the first generation of a novel natural antimicrobial packaging system which could be activated by consumers at home. For this purpose, antimicrobial films having a pH-triggering mechanism which could be activated by acidification were developed by exploiting isoelectric properties and pH induced charge-charge interactions between whey proteins (WP) and lysozyme (LYS). The release tests of films in buffers and on coated smoked salmon slices at 4 °C showed the immobilization of positively charged LYS by the negatively charged WP films at pHs ≥ 5.5. The LYS release initiated when pH was reduced below 5.5 where WP started to gain positive charges. The amount of LYS released and LYS release rate increased as pH reduced gradually from 5.5 to 3.0. The preparation of composite films of WP with beeswax (BW) and oleic acid (OLE) increased the total released LYS from films. WP, WP-OLE and WP-BW films showed antimicrobial activity against Listeria innocua in laboratory media. The smoked salmon slices coated by activated LYS containing WP-OLE films showed significantly lower (almost 0.6 decimal) L. innocua counts than controls after 1 week at 4 °C. This study clearly showed that the antimicrobial films could be activated by consumers to improve safety of opened packed food stored in home type refrigerators.Article Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 33Preparation and Characterization of Polyacrylonitrile Membranes Modified With Polyelectrolyte Deposition for Separating Similar Sized Proteins(Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Yaşar Mahlıçlı, Filiz; Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide; Yürekli, YılmazOne of the challenges faced by ultrafiltration membranes is to separate proteins with a small difference in their molecular weights. Recently, some researchers tried to overcome this problem by using charged membranes. This study examined the use of layer by layer deposition of polyelectrolytes on the chemically-modified polyacyronitrile membrane to increase the selectivity of the ultrafiltration. The membranes were prepared by wet-phase inversion technique and polyethylenimine (PEI) and alginate (ALG) were chosen as cationic and anionic polyelectrolytes for the modification of the surfaces. Sieving coefficient data were obtained with myoglobin and lysozyme as model proteins. The influences of solution pH, ionic strengths of the protein and polyelectrolyte solution and the number of polyelectrolyte bilayers on both selectivity and throughput were investigated. The highest selectivity and throughput were achieved with the 1-bilayer PEI-ALG coated polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane. Increasing the number of coating bilayers or the ionic strength of the protein solution or adding salt into the polyelectrolyte coating solution decreased both the maximum selectivity and throughput of the modified membranes.Article Citation - WoS: 76Citation - Scopus: 95Development of Flexible Zein-Wax Composite and Zein-Fatty Acid Blend Films for Controlled Release of Lysozyme(Elsevier Ltd., 2013) Arcan, İskender; Yemenicioğlu, AhmetThe aim of this study was controlled release of lysozyme by modification of hydrophobicity and morphology of zein films using composite and blend film making methods. The incorporation of beeswax, carnauba or candelilla wax into films at 5% (w/w) of zein gave composite films containing amorphous wax particles, while incorporation of oleic acid into film at 5% of zein caused formation of blend films containing many spherical zein capsules within their matrix. The lysozyme release rates of composites reduced as the melting point of waxes increased. The composites and blends showed 2.5 to 17 fold lower lysozyme release rates than controls. The films were effectively plasticized by using catechin. The catechin also provided antioxidant activity of films (up to 69 mu mol Trolox/cm(2)) and contributed to their controlled release properties by reducing film porosity. The films showed antimicrobial activity against Listeria innocua. This work showed the possibility of obtaining advanced edible films having flexibility, antimicrobial and antioxidant activity and controlled release properties.Article Citation - WoS: 153Citation - Scopus: 192Development of Cellulose Acetate Based Antimicrobial Food Packaging Materials for Controlled Release of Lysozyme(Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Gemili, Seyhun; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Alsoy Altınkaya, SacideAntimicrobial packaging materials were obtained by incorporation of lysozyme into cellulose acetate (CA) films. In order to achieve controlled release of lysozyme, the structure of the films was changed from highly asymmetric and porous to dense by modulating the composition of the initial casting solution. The highest release rate, soluble lysozyme activity and antimicrobial activity were obtained with the film prepared from 5% CA solution including 1.5% lysozyme. Increasing CA content in the casting solution decreased the porosity of the films, hence, reduced the release rate, maximum released lysozyme activities and the antimicrobial activities of the films. In contrast, immobilized lysozyme activities and the tensile strength of the films increased. The incorporation of lysozyme did not cause significant reductions in tensile strength and elongation at break values except in films prepared with 15% CA. This study showed the good potential of asymmetric CA films to achieve controlled release in antimicrobial packaging.Article Citation - WoS: 125Citation - Scopus: 147Incorporation of Partially Purified Hen Egg White Lysozyme Into Zein Films for Antimicrobial Food Packaging(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Mecitoğlu, Çiğdem; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Arslanoğlu, Alper; Elmacı, Zehra Seda; Korel, Figen; Çetin, Ali EmrahLysozyme, partially purified from hen egg white by precipitation of non-enzyme protein with ethanol and lyophilized after dialysis, was incorporated into zein films. The recovery and specific activity of the enzyme after partial purification varied between 45% and 72% and 2173 and 3448 U/mg, whereas the activity of the lyophilized enzyme varied between 2900 and 3351 U/mg. The partially purified enzyme was very stable and lost almost no activity in lyophilized form or in zein films stored at -18 and 4°C for up to 8 and 4 months, respectively. During partial purification and in zein film preparation, ethanol treatment caused 123-137% and 132-315% activation of the enzyme, respectively. In zein films incorporated with 187-1318 U/cm2 (63-455 μg/cm2) lysozyme, the release rates at 4°C, changed between 7 and 29 U/cm2/min, increased at high lysozyme concentrations. Zein films incorporated with partially purified lysozyme showed antimicrobial effect on Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus plantarum. By the addition of disodium EDTA, the films also became effective on Escherichia coli. The results of this study showed that the partially purified lysozyme may be used in antimicrobial packaging to increase food safety.
