    Ultrasound Assisted Extraction for the Recovery of Phenolic Compounds From Waste Hazelnut Shell
    (Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi, 2020) Dal, Orkan; Şengün, Duygu; Yüksel Özşen, Aslı
    Hazelnut shell is the primary byproduct of hazelnut industry which has the potential source of antioxidants, and phenolics with interest of pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries. The main goal of this study is to determine effects of extraction method, extraction time, solvent type, solid to liquid ratio, and particle size on extraction yield, antioxidant capacity, and total phenolic content of waste hazelnut shell. The highest extraction yield was found as 15.4% by using methanol as solvent, in combined extraction for 16 h total extraction time. As for the best antioxidant capacity, 0.0508 mg TE mL-1 was observed by using methanol as a solvent in ultrasonic extraction, whereas the highest phenolic content was found as 0.188 mg GAE mL-1 by Soxhlet extraction with acetone for 8 h. After extraction of hazelnut shell waste, major components were found as oleic and palmitic acids for all solvent types according to GC-MS results.

    Bi̇yomalzemelerden İ̇zole Edi̇len Staphylococcus Epidermidis Suşlarinin Yüzey Özelli̇kleri̇ni̇n Beli̇rlenmesi̇
    (Ankara Mikrobiyoloji Derneği, 2010) Sudağıdan, Mert; Erdem, İlker; Çavuşoğlu, Cengiz; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin
    The surface properties of bacteria play an important role on adhesion to the biomaterial surface. In this study, the surface properties of Staphylococcus epidermidis strains isolated from clinically used polymeric biomaterial surfaces were investigated on the basis of zeta potential, hydrophobicity and surface topography. A total of 10 S.epidermidis strains isolated from intravenous catheters (n= 5), endotracheal tubes (n= 3) and central venous catheters (n= 2) which were used in the patients of pulmonary Intensive Care Unit, Ege University Medical Faculty Hospital, were included to the study. Seven of those isolates were biofilm producers, inhabiting biofilm genes, 2 were non-biofilm producers, however, inhabiting biofilm genes, and 1 was non-biofilm producer, inhabiting no biofilm genes. Zeta potential analysis have been performed in 3 different buffers (phosphate-buffered saline, 1 mM potassium chloride and 1 mM potassium phosphate buffer) and at different pH values (pH 4.1-8.2), in order to simulate in vivo environment of the biomaterials. Hydrophobicities of the strains were examined by bacterial adhesion to hydrocarbon (BATH) test and the surface topography of biofilms and slime layers were visualized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods. It was found that all strains have negative zeta potential values (surface charge) in all buffers and pH values. In hydrophobicity analysis, the highest value (86%) was determined for non-biofilm forming S.epidermidis strain YT-169b (endotracheal tube isolate) and the lowest hydrophobicity (2.5%) was determined for biofilm forming S.epidermidis strain YT-212 (central venous catheter isolate). Biofilm and slime layers of the strains were imaginated by AFM and SEM analysis in ?m scale. SEM analysis showed that bacteria highly adhered to rough surfaces on biomaterial surfaces and the produced slime layers covered the surface of bacteria. In conclusion, elucidating the surface properties of opportunistic pathogens in different physiologic buffers will give important clues for the production of non-adhesive materials and antibacterial surfaces for those bacteria. It was also estimated that designing the surface of the biomaterial to have negative surface charge in the body and to be as smooth as possible will hamper biofilm formation.

    Validation on of Local Thermal Equilibrium and Uniform Pressure Assumptions for an Isobaric Adsorption Process in an Adsorbent Bed
    (Türk Isı Bilimi ve Tekniği Derneği, 2016) Gediz İliş, Gamze; Mobedi, Moghtada; Ülkü, Semra
    Bu çalışmanın amacı, adsorbent yatakta ısı ve kütle transferini analiz etmek için kullanılan yerel ısıl denge ve sabit basınç yaklaşımı varsayımların geçerliliğini araştırmaktır. İçerisinde silika jel partikülleri içeren bir yatak ile su kabı olan bir deney düzeneği tasarlanmış ve adsorpsiyon sürecinde yatağın içinde farklı yerlerde yerel sıcaklık ve basınç ölçülmüştür. Ayrıca, sabit basınç yaklaşımı ve yerel ısıl denge varsayımlara dayalı ısı ve kütle transferi denklemleri çözülmüştür. Sayısal sonuçlar, ilgili deneysel sonuçlarla karşılaştırılmış ve aralarında oldukça iyi bir uyum tespit edilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen karşılaştırmaya dayanarak, incelenen yatak için iki önemli sonuç şu şekildedir: a) katı madde ve su buharı arasında yerel ısıl denge bulunmaktadır, b) bir yatak içinde parçacıklar arası kütle transferi direnci ihmal edilebilir düzeyde olup konsantrasyonunun ve sıcaklığın belirlenmesi için sabit basınç yaklaşımı geçerlidir. Ayrıca, bu çalışmada sunulan deneysel sonuçlar diğer araştırmacıların sayısal çalışmalarının geçerliliğini doğtulamak için değerli veriler sağlayacaktır.

    A Research on the Production of Silk Sericin Powders by Using Spray Drying Method
    (Ege Üniversitesi, 2009) Genç, Gözde; Bayraktar, Oğuz; Başal, Güldemet
    Sericin protein is usually discarded as a waste in silk industry. Production of silk sericin powders, which can be incorporated into fibers used in textile industry, by spray drying method will enable value-added utilization of waste sericin. in this study aqueous sericin solutions were used as raw material for the production of dry powders using a lab-scale spray dryer. A linear regression analyses were employed, in addition to experimental design at two levels with three factors for the analysis of three responses: moisture content, particle type and agglomeration degree. The process factors were the drying air temperature (120°C and 160°C), the feed rate (1.25x10-4 and 2.5x10-4 dms -), and the concentration of sericin solutions of 10% and 30% (w/w) fed to the spray dryer. The three responses were analyzed statistically to determine the effective parameters and it was concluded that moisture content depended on three factors-drying air temperature being the dominant parameter. Particle size and shape depended mainly on feed rate and agglomeration depended on the moisture content of the product.
