Article Extraction and Characterization of Pectin From Fresh Globe Artichoke and Canned Artichoke Waste(Gıda Teknolojisi Derneği, 2017) Ceylan, Çağatay; Bayraktar, Oğuz; Atçı, Erhan; Sarrafi, ŞahinThe pectin contents of fresh globe artichoke (stem, receptacle, and bract) and waste of artichokecanning industry were investigated. The highest pectin amount was found in the stem part of freshglobe artichoke (6.42%) with the highest amount of anhydrogalacturonic acid (AGA) and anhydrouronicacid (AUA) content. The pectin yields of receptacle and bract parts were found to be 5.31 and 4.55%,respectively. The pectin yield from the industrial waste was the lowest, 4.43%. The highest ash content(5.65 %) along with the lowest anhydrouronic acid amount (73.28%) indicated the lowest purity for theindustrial waste. The degrees of esterification for the pectin obtained from the stem, receptacle andbract parts were 55.26%, 52.26%, and 56.17%, respectively indicating the presence of high methyl-esterified(HM) pectin. The pectin from the industrial waste had the lowest degree of esterification (46.02%). TheFTIR results indicated that acid processing affected the structural properties of pectin from the industrialwaste with higher methoxyl content and esterification degree.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 9Biophysical Evaluation of Physiological Effects of Gilthead Sea Bream (sparus Aurata) Farming Using Ftir Spectroscopy(Elsevier Ltd., 2014) Ceylan, Çağatay; Tanrıkul, Tansel; Özgener, HüseyinSparus aurata is one of the two most important cultured fish species in the Mediterranean region. The present work investigates the effects of culturing in S. aurata liver tissue at the molecular level using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. FTIR spectroscopy revealed dramatic differences between the wild and aquacultured fish liver cells, which mainly indicated that the level of glycogen increased in the aquacultured samples and the protein/lipid ratio decreased by 42.29% indicating that triglycerides and cholesterol esters increased and the protein content decreased in the aquacultured samples. The 15.99% increase in the level of unsaturation indicated elevated lipid peroxidation. Structural/organisational changes in the nucleic acids along with increased transcriptional status of the liver tissue cells were observed in the cultured fish tissue. All these results indicated that culturing induces significant changes in fish physiology. In addition FTIR spectroscopy is a promising method to monitor the physiological changes in fish physiology.
