Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 16Comparison of Some Chemical Parameters of a Naturally Debittered Olive (olea Europaea L.) Type With Regular Olive Varieties(Elsevier Ltd., 2014) Aktaş, Ayşe Burcu; Özen, Banu; Tokatlı, Figen; Şen, İlknurSome olives grown in Karaburun peninsula in the west part of Turkey and mostly coming from Erkence variety lose their bitterness while still on the tree and are called Hurma among locals. This olive type does not require further processing to remove the bitter compounds. In this study, sugar, organic acid and fatty acid profiles of Hurma, Erkence (not naturally debittered) and Gemlik (commonly consumed as table olive) olives were determined throughout 8 weeks of maturation period for two consecutive harvest seasons, and the results were analysed by principal component analysis (PCA). PCA of sugar and organic acid data revealed a differentiation in terms of harvest year but not on variety. Hurma olive is separated from others due to its fatty acid profile, and it has higher linoleic acid content compared to others. This might be an indication of increased desaturase enzyme activity for Hurma olives during natural debittering phase.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 22Optimization of the Associative Growth of Novel Yoghurt Cultures in the Production of Biomass, Ss-Galactosidase and Lactic Acid Using Response Surface Methodology(Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Tarı, Canan; Üstok, Fatma Işık; Harsa, Hayriye ŞebnemThe associative growth of Streptococcus thermophilus 95/2 (St 95/2) and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus 77 (Lb 77) isolated from the Toros mountain region of Turkey was investigated with respect to lactic acid, biomass and β-galactosidase enzyme production using response surface methodology (RSM). The ratio (St 95/2:Lb 77) of the strains and media formulation had significant effect on all responses (p < 0.001). The predicted enzyme activity (2.14 U mL-1), lactic acid (22.50 g L-1) and biomass (7.11 g L-1) production at optimum conditions were very close to the actual experimental values (2.14 U mL-1, 22.94 g L-1 and 7.86 g L-1, respectively). The optimum conditions were to use these cultures in a ratio of 1.66:1.62 (St 95/2:Lb 77) in a medium containing whey (5%), corn steep liquor (4%), potassium phosphate (2%) and peptone (2%) at 43 °C for 8 h. The associative growth provided 6.4% and 39% more β-galactosidase activity and 8.73% and 44% more lactic acid compared with the results obtained using pure St 95/2 and Lb 77 strains, respectively.
