Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 10Use of Magic Sandwich Echo and Fast Field Cycling Nmr Relaxometry on Honey Adulteration With Corn Syrup(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2021) Berk, Berkay; Çavdaroğlu, Çağrı; Grunin, Leonid; Ardelean, Ioan; Kruk, Danuta; Mazı, Bekir G.; Öztop, Halil Mecitconventional time domain nuclear magnetic resonance (TD-NMR) pulse sequence: magic sandwich echo (MSE) was used to detect the adulteration of honey by glucose syrup (GS) and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) accompanied with T-1 and T-2 relaxation times. Also, fast field cycling NMR (FFC-NMR) relaxometry and multivariate analysis were performed to investigate the adulteration. RESULTS Higher maltose in GS and changing glucose to water ratio of HFCS gave high correlation with the crystal content values. In HFCS adulteration, two separate populations of protons having different T-2 values were detected and T-1 times were also used to determine GS adulteration. Addition of GS increased T-1 while addition of HFCS increased T-2, significantly. CONCLUSION The results showed that it is possible to differentiate the unadulterated and adulterated honey samples by using TD-NMR relaxation times and crystal content values obtained by the MSE sequence. By FFC-NMR relaxometry, not only GS addition but also the amount of GS was examined. The multivariate analysis technique of principal component analysis was able to distinguish the types of adulterants.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 13Authentication of Turkish Olive Oils by Using Detailed Pigment Profile and Spectroscopic Techniques(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2020) Uncu, Oğuz; Uncu, Oğuz; Özen, Banu; Özen, Fatma Banu; Tokatlı, Figen; Tokatlı, FigenBACKGROUND Minor compounds of olive oil could have discriminatory characteristics in the authentication of this product. It was aimed to determine the detailed pigment profiles of Turkish olive oils and use them in differentiation of the samples in comparison to fast, reliable, and environmentally friendly Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and ultraviolet (UV)-visible spectroscopic techniques. Pigment contents of 91 olive oils obtained from different locations for two consecutive harvesting years were determined with chromatographic analysis and FTIR and UV-visible spectra of these samples were also obtained. All data were analyzed with orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis to investigate the differentiation ability of these methods with regard to their detailed pigment and spectroscopic profiles. RESULTS Pheophytin a (2.78-8.98 mg kg(-1)) and lutein (1.19-4.07 mg kg(-1)) were the major pigments in all samples. Pigment profiles provided successful classification of olive oils with respect to their designated origins and harvesting year with average correct classification rates of 97%. UV-visible spectroscopy has quite similar results with pigment profiles in terms of its discriminatory power. In addition, FTIR and fused data were slightly better in discrimination of the samples, and the fused dataset has the highest correct classification rate of 100%. CONCLUSION Use of detailed pigment profiles is quite promising in authentication of olive oils. However, UV-visible and FTIR spectroscopic techniques could be reliable alternatives for the same purposes. All of the techniques studied have great potential in 'protected designation of origin' certification studies.

For this purpose, emulsion-based coatings were developed using citrus pectin (CPEC) or pectin extracted from processing wastes of sun-dried figs (FPEC) and eugenol (EUG). The emulsions of FPEC and CPEC with EUG (droplet size range: 1.99-11.22 mu m) were highly stable for minimum 10 days at 10 degrees C. The FPEC-EUG films showed higher flexibility and degree of wettability than CPEC-EUG films. In contrast, CPEC-EUG films had a higher gas barrier performance against oxygen at 50% relative humidity than FPEC-EUG films. The zone inhibition tests showed that FPEC-EUG films are more effective against Listeria innocua than CPEC-EUG films. However, FPEC and CPEC coatings with 2% EUG caused 2.2 and 2.7 decimal inactivation of Listeria on Galia melons within 1 week, respectively. The pectin coatings with EUG could reduce the risk of listeriosis from webbed-rind melons.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 15Effects of Processing Parameters on Chemical and Physical Properties of Enzymatically Interesterified Beef Tallow-Corn Oil Blends(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2020) Aktaş, Ayşe Burcu; Özen, Banu; Alamprese, Cristina A.The purpose of this study was to improve some physical and chemical characteristics of tallow through enzymatic interesterification process with corn oil and to investigate effects of process parameters on chemical and physical properties of obtained products. Full factorial design was constructed using blend ratio and reaction time as process parameters. Enzymatic interesterification was catalyzed with sn-1,3-specific lipase. Interesterified lipids have higher free fatty acid content and lower oxidative stability compared to initial blends. Interesterification did not cause trans-fatty acid formation and products mostly contained beta crystals. Solid fat content and slip melting point decreased up to 6 hr of interesterification; however, longer reaction times have negative effects on these parameters. Statistical analyses' results confirmed that reaction time is highly important for enzymatic interesterification. Practical applications Some of interesterified lipids can be utilized as alternatives to margarines or butterfat due to their lower trans-fatty acid content and crystal morphology.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 16Secular Trends in Opportunistic Infections, Cancers and Mortality in Patients With Aids During the Era of Modern Combination Antiretroviral Therapy(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2018) Sezgin, Efe; Van Natta, Mark L.; Thorne, Jennifer E.; Puhan, M. A.; Jabs, D. A.Objectives: The aim of the study was to estimate the incidence of, determine risk factors for, and investigate the consequences of opportunistic infections (OIs) and malignancies among patients with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in the era of modern combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). Methods: Three enrolment periods (1998–2002, 2003–2005 and 2006–2012), corresponding to changes in predominant cART regimens, were compared among 1889 participants enrolled in a prospective cohort study, the Longitudinal Study of Ocular Complications of AIDS (LSOCA). Incidences of AIDS-related OIs and cancers were estimated. Multivariate logistic and Cox regression models were used to determine the effect of demographic and clinical characteristics on OIs and mortality. Results: Between participants enrolled in the 1998–2002 and 2006–2012 enrolment periods, the incidence of OIs decreased from 27 per 1000 person-years (PY) to 11 per 1000 PY (P < 0.001), and mortality decreased from 41 per 1000 PY to 18 per 1000 PY (P < 0.0001), corresponding to improvements in cART regimens. Conclusions: Improvements in cART regimens led to a progressive decline in the incidence of OIs and mortality between 1999 and 2013 among patients with AIDS in the era of modern cART.Article Citation - WoS: 87Citation - Scopus: 94Factors Related To Recurrence of Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis: What Do We Learn From a Multicentre Study?(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2018) Uysal, Erdal; Soran, Atilla; Sezgin, Efe; Granulomatous Mastitis Study GroupBackground: Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a rare chronic inflammatory disease of the breast with unknown aetiology. Its treatment is controversial and the recurrence rate is high. The objectives of this study were to examine the demographic, sociocultural and clinical characteristics observed among a large cohort of IGM patients from Turkey and to identify factors related to the recurrence of IGM. Methods: The study was designed as a multicentre retrospective study including 22 breast centres in Turkey. A total of 720 IGM patients are included in the study. Patient data were obtained from the patient's files and electronic records based on the study protocol. Patients’ demographic, clinical, radiological, treatment and recurrence of IGM related characteristics were recorded. Results: Our results revealed a statistically significant association between IGM recurrence and history of pregnancy, breastfeeding, breast infection and smoking (P < 0.05). Having a chronic systematic disease, oral contraceptive, analgesic and herbal medicine consumptions, treatment choice, education, place of birth and current residence were not found to be associated with IGM recurrence (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Our findings show that history of pregnancy, breastfeeding, breast infection and smoking were the risk factors for IGM recurrence. As current treatment methods did not affect IGM recurrence, recurrence-related factors, such as breast infection and smoking, should be considered to eliminate while focusing on less invasive local treatment research.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Partial Purification of a Polygalacturonase From a New Aspergillus Sojae Mutant and Its Application in Grape Mash Maceration(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2017) Yıldız, Semanur; Mata-Gomez, Marco A.; Tarı, Canan; Rito-Palomares, MarcoThe use of polygalacturonase (PG) preparations in winemaking promotes the release of phenolic compounds. A PG from a new source, Aspergillus sojae mutant, was semi-purified and tested for grape mash maceration. Crude extract (CE), a commercial pectinase, and two high PG activity semi-purified preparations, FI and FII , were applied for maceration at PG activity of 3.5 U g−1 of grape for 46 h. Enzyme-assisted maceration significantly (P < 0.05) increased the total phenolic content from 255.8 to 916.3 ± 5.2, 5732.9 ± 9.9, 563.4 ± 6.7 and 620.6 ± 18.4 mg L−1 for CE, commercial pectinase, FI and FII, respectively. The content of individual phenolics such as gallic, protocatechuic, chlorogenic and p-coumaric acids was improved. Principal component and hierarchical clustering analyses suggested that CE has a better performance upon the release of phenols. Semi-purified preparations acted similar to commercial pectinase. These findings open an opportunity for the potential use of PG from the mutant strain as an alternative macerating enzyme.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 19Control of Agitation Rate and Aeration for Enhanced Polygalacturonase Production in Submerged Fermentation by Aspergillus Sojae Using Agro-Industrial Wastes(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2017) Fratebianchi, Dante; Crespo, Juan Manuel; Tarı, Canan; Cavalitto, SebastianBACKGROUND: The koji mold Aspergillus sojae, an industrially important microorganism, can produce high levels of pectinases utilizing agro-industrial wastes. This study introduces apricot and peach pomace, two agro-industrial wastes barely considered as raw material for the generation of value-added products, and focuses on its utilization together with orange peel for polygalacturonase production in submerged cultures using A. sojae. RESULTS: A Doehlert response surface methodology design conducted in shake flasks and applied individually with these three by-products led to 60–80 U mL−1 polygalacturonase activity. In bioreactor studies performed with a mixture of apricot pomace and orange peel, by fixing stirrer speed to 600 rpm and cascading airflow to the dissolved oxygen tension up to 1.7 vvm, oxygen limitation problems were overcome and polygalacturonase activity values of 380 U mL−1 were achieved. CONCLUSION: A simple and efficient strategy to minimize oxygen limitation with the lowest possible shear stress is provided for stirred-tank bioreactors working with highly viscous broths, so as to ultimately enhance microbial enzyme production. The polygalacturonase activity yields obtained in our study are among the highest reported in the literature.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 18Effect of Physicochemical Parameters on the Polygalacturonase of an Aspergillus Sojae Mutant Using Wheat Bran, an Agro-Industrial Waste, Via Solid-State Fermentation(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016) Demir, Hande; Tarı, CananBACKGROUND: Polygalacturonases (PGs) are valuable enzymes of the food industry; therefore it is of great importance to discover new and GRAS PG-producing microbial strains. In this study, PG enzyme produced from a high PG activity producer mutant Aspergillus sojae using wheat bran at the flask scale under pre-optimized conditions of solid-state fermentation (SSF) was biochemically characterized. RESULTS: The crude PG enzyme showed optimum activity in the pH range 4.0–5.0 and was stable in the pH range 3.0–7.0. The optimum temperature for the PG was 40 °C and it retained 99% of its activity at 50 °C. The mutant A. sojae PG could preserve more than 50% of its stability between 25 and 50 °C, both for 30 and 60 min, and was found to be stable in the presence of most of the tested compounds and metal ions. The inactivation energy (Ed) was determined as 125.3 kJ mol−1. The enthalpy (ΔH*), free energy (ΔG*) and entropy (ΔS*) of inactivation were found to be stable with increasing temperature. CONCLUSION: The mutant A. sojae PG could be suitable for the clarification (depectinization) of orange and grape juices and wine. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry.
