    Almond Cheese Analog Fortified with Microencapsulated Lactiplantibacillus Plantarum DSM 1954: Evaluation of Viability and Quality Parameters Using Different PlantBased Proteins
    (Springer India, 2025) Ozturk, Burcu; Elvan, Mensure; Harsa, Hayriye Sebnem
    The objective of this study was to evaluate the viability of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM1954 encapsulated using plant-based proteins as novel coating materials, when supplemented into almond cheese-analog during storage. Freeze-dried Lb. plantarum strains that were both microencapsulated and non-microencapsulated were added to cheese-analog. A water-in-oil emulsion method was used with a variety of plant-based proteins, including soy, pea, and potato. Microbial analysis, chemical composition, color analysis were conducted on the cheese-analogs. Microencapsulation was successfully achieved with pea and soy proteins, demonstrating encapsulation efficiencies of 85.8% and 86.6%, respectively; however, potato protein concentrate failed to form microcapsules. The viability of microencapsulated cells was higher than 10 log CFU/g during storage. The survivability of Lb. plantarum under acidic conditions was observed to be 0.85 log reduced in microencapsulated cells, whereas 3 log reduction was determined in non-microencapsulated cells. According to the SEM analysis, the diameter of the microencapsulated cells was found to be 0.8-1.5 mu m. Both microencapsulated and non-microencapsulated probiotic cells maintained viability above the probiotic threshold (> 6 log CFU/g) in cheese-analogs during storage. Although plant-based microencapsulation slightly affected the appearance by causing a darker color in cheese-analogs, this novel approach provides a promising alternative for enhancing probiotic stability in plant-based dairy alternatives.

    Development of Microfibrillated Cellulose-Based Films From Globe Artichokes (cynara Scolymus)
    (Elsevier, 2023) Erguner, Merve (Samli); Harsa, Hayriye Sebnem; Ergüner, Merve
    This research developed biodegradable packaging materials for fresh-cut artichokes using the waste of globe artichokes. The extraction of film-forming materials (cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and wax fractions) was done with a mild alkaline extraction method. An environmentally friendly mechanical grinding method (Masuko Supermasscolloider) was chosen to produce cellulose microfibrils having 50-200 mu m length and 10-30 mu m width. The presence of micro fibrillated cellulose in films hindered the heat sealing ability, so using microfibrillated cellulose and Carboxymethyl cellulose together in films (with glycerol, stearic acid, and wax incorporation) exhibited better performance. Micro fibrillated cellulose and Carboxymethyl cellulose-based films have good elasticity (16 % strain), tensile strength (0.85 kg/mm), and seal ability (at 170-220 degrees C). Scanning Electron Microscope analyses showed films with smooth surfaces and dense structures (from the cross-sectional area).
