Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 28Classification of Turkish Monocultivar (ayvalık and Memecik Cv.) Virgin Olive Oils From North and South Zones of Aegean Region Based on Their Triacyglycerol Profiles(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2013) Gökçebag, Mümtaz; Dıraman, Harun; Özdemir, DurmuşIn this study, a total of 22 domestic monocultivar (AyvalIk and Memecik cv.) virgin olive oil samples taken from various locations of the Aegean region, the main olive growing zone of Turkey, during two (2001-2002) crop years were classified and characterized by well-known chemometric methods (principal component analysis [PCA] and hierarchical cluster analysis [HCA]) on the basis of their triacylglycerol (TAG) components. The analyses of TAG components (LLL and major fractions LOO, OOO, POO, PLO, SOO, and ECN 42-ECN 50) in the oil samples were carried out according to the HPLC method described in a European Union Commission (EUC) regulation. In all analyzed samples the value of trilinolein (LLL), the least abundant TAG, did not exceed the maximum limit of 0.5 % given by the EUC regulation for different olive oil grades. The ranges of abundant TAG, namely LOO, OOO, POO, PLO, and SOO, were 13.30-16.08, 37.27-46.36, 21.39-23.24, 4.93-7.03, and 4.72-6.00 %. The TAG data of Aegean virgin olive oils were similar to those of products from important olive-oil-producing Mediterranean countries was determined. Also, the estimation of major fatty acids (FA) was carried out by using a formula based on TAG data. The PCA results showed that some TAG components have an important role in the characterization and geographical classification of 22 monocultivar virgin olive oil. The Aegean virgin olive oil samples were successfully classified and discriminated into two main groups as the North and South (growing) subzones or AyvalIk and Memecik olives (cultivars) according to the HCA results based on experimental TAG data and calculated major FA profile.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 22Characterization of Airborne Particles and Droplets: Relation To Amount of Airborne Dust and Dust Collection Efficiency(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2002) Polat, Mehmet; Polat, Hürriyet; Chander, Subhash; Hogg, RichardWater sprays have been commonly used to suppress airborne dust. Water is doped with surface-active agents to enhance the dust capture efficiency through a reduction of surface tension. Nevertheless, dust collection efficiencies have been less than satisfactory historically. A detailed characterization of freshly generated airborne dust particles and spray droplets was carried out in order to explain this observation. Such properties as the agglomeration state of the freshly generated airborne dust particles and the airborne dust production capacity of various materials were defined and quantified. Electrostatic charges on individual airborne particles and spray droplets were measured. It was demonstrated that freshly generated airborne dust particles were extensively agglomerated. The magnitude of agglomeration was a function of material type and decided the amount of dust becoming airborne from a given material. This explains why certain materials such as quartz and anthracite produce more dust than some others. It was demonstrated that surfactants could be employed to charge the spray droplets selectively. The sign and magnitude of the droplet charge was a function of surfactant type and concentration. A strong correlation between the droplet charge and dust collection efficiencies by spray droplets was observed for cationic surfactants, suggesting that surfactants affected collection efficiency in addition to enhancing wetting.
