    Characterization of Antimicrobial Activities of Olive Phenolics on Yeasts Using Conventional Methods and Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy
    (Springer, 2019) Canal, Canan; Özen, Banu; Baysal, Ayşe Handan
    Olive fruit is very rich in terms of phenolic compounds. Antimicrobial activities of various phenolic compounds against bacteria and fungi are well established; however, their effects on yeasts have not been examined. Aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial effects induced by olive phenolic compounds, including tyrosol, hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein, luteolin and apigenin against two yeast species, Aureobasidium pullulans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. For this purpose, yeasts were treated with various concentrations (12.5-1000ppm) of phenolic compounds and reduction in yeast population was followed with optical density measurements with microplate reader, yeast colony forming units and mid-infrared spectroscopy. All phenolic compounds were effective on both yeasts, especially 200ppm and higher concentrations have significant antimicrobial activity; however, effects of lower levels depend on the type of phenolic compound. According to mid-infrared spectral data, significant changes were observed in 1200-900cm(-1) range corresponding to carbohydrates of yeast structure as a result of exposure to all phenolic compounds except tyrosol. Spectra of tyrosol and luteolin treated yeasts also showed changes in 1750-1500cm(-1) related to amide section and 3600-3000cm(-1) fatty acid region. Since phenolic compounds from olives were effective against yeasts, they could be used in food applications where yeast growth showed problem. In addition, FTIR spectroscopy could be successfully used to monitor and characterize antimicrobial activity of phenolic compounds on yeasts as complementary to conventional microbiological methods.

    Microbial Profile and Bacterial Characterisation of Naturally Debittered Hurma Olives Compared To Non-Debittered Erkence Variety During Ripening Period
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016) Sözbilen, Gözde Seval; Baysal, Ayşe Handan
    Naturally debittered Hurma olive is grown in a specific area in Karaburun peninsula in Turkey. It is characterised by its sweet taste and it differs from other varieties by losing its bitterness caused by phenolic compounds during its maturation period on the tree. Therefore, Hurma olive does not require any further debittering process to be served as table olive. This study was particularly interested in the comparison of the microbial profile of Hurma olive during its 8 weeks of maturation period in two subsequent harvest years and Erkence (not naturally debittered) olive. In addition, main bacterial profile of both Hurma and Erkence olives were isolated and identified. Aerobic mesophilic microorganism (AMM), lactic acid bacteria (LAB), Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonadaceae, Staphylococci, Micrococcaceae, yeasts and moulds (Y&Ms) were detected (counted and isolated) in the olive drupes during the maturation period. Isolated bacteria were identified as different spp. of Bacillaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, Micrococcoceae and Pseudomonadaceae.

    Genetic Diversity of Turkish Olive Varieties Assessed by Simple Sequence Repeat and Sequence-Related Amplified Polymorphism Markers
    (Crop Science Society of America, 2011) Işık, Neslihan; Doğanlar, Sami; Frary, Anne
    Olive (Olea europaea L.) is one of the most important and characteristic fruit crops of the Mediterranean region. This crop has been grown in Turkey for more than 3000 yr and many varieties are currently grown in five geographic regions. In this study, the genetic diversity of 66 olive varieties from these regions was assessed using simple sequence repeat (SSR) and sequence related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers. The 13 SSR markers yielded 89 alleles with an average polymorphism information content (PIC) of 0.29 and 6.8 alleles per marker while the 13 SRAP primer combinations generated 103 polymorphic alleles with an average PIC of 0.24 and 7.9 alleles per combination. Although SSR markers revealed higher levels of polymorphism than SRAP markers, both systems revealed considerable molecular genetic diversity in Turkish olive varieties. For both marker types, clustering analysis using the Dice similarity coefficient and the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic means (UPGMA) produced dendrograms with similar clustering and some region-specific grouping of varieties. Overall, Southeast Anatolian and Marmara varieties were found to be more genetically different than those from the other regions (Aegean, Mediterranean, and Black Sea) and homonymous varieties were identified: three pairs of varieties ('Egriburun', 'Celebi', and 'Tasarasi') had the same names but were genetically distinct. © Crop Science Society of America.
