Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 18Bacterial Detection Using Bacteriophages and Gold Nanorods by Following Time-Dependent Changes in Raman Spectral Signals(Informa Healthcare, 2018) Moghtader, Farzaneh; Tomak, Aysel; Zareie, Hadi M.; Pişkin, ErhanThis study attemps to develop bacterial detection strategies using bacteriophages and gold nanorods (GNRs) by Raman spectral analysis. Escherichia coli was selected as the target and its specific phage was used as the bioprobe. Target bacteria and phages were propagated/purified by traditional techniques. GNRs were synthesized by using hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as stabilizer. A two-step detection strategy was applied: Firstly, the target bacteria were interacted with GNRs in suspensions, and then they were dropped onto silica substrates for detection. It was possible to obtain clear surface-enchanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) peaks of the target bacteria, even without using phages. In the second step, the phage nanoemulsions were droped onto the bacterial-GNRs complexes on those surfaces and time-dependent changes in the Raman spectra were monitored at different time intervals upto 40 min. These results demonstrated that how one can apply phages with plasmonic nanoparticles for detection of pathogenic bacteria very effectively in a quite simple test.Article Citation - WoS: 81Citation - Scopus: 115Effects of Ultraviolet Light Emitting Diodes (leds) on Microbial and Enzyme Inactivation of Apple Juice(Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Pelvan Akgün, Merve; Ünlütürk, SevcanIn this study, the effects of Ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) on the inactivation of E. coli K12 (ATCC 25253), an indicator organism of E. coli O157:H7, and polyphneoloxidase (PPO) in cloudy apple juice (CAJ) were investigated. The clear (AJ) and cloudy apple juice were exposed to UV rays for 40 min by using a UV device composed of four UV-LEDs with peak emissions at 254 and 280 nm and coupled emissions as follows: 254/365, 254/405, 280/365, 280/405 and 254/280/365/405 nm. UV-LEDs at 254 nm achieved 1.6 ± 0.1 log10 CFU/mL inactivation of E. coli K12 at UV dose of 707.2 mJ/cm2. The highest inactivation of E. coli K12 (2.0 ± 0.1 log10 CFU/mL and 2.0 ± 0.4 log10 CFU/mL) was achieved when the cloudy apple juice was treated with both 280 nm and 280/365 nm UV-LEDs. For clear apple juice the highest inactivation 4.4 log10 CFU/mL obtained for E. coli K12 was achieved using 4 lamps emitting light at 280 nm for 40 min exposure time. For the same treatment time, the experiments using a combination of lamps emitting light at 280 and 365 nm (2lamp/2lamp) were resulted in 3.9 ± 0.2 log10 CFU/mL reductions. UV-A and UV-C rays in combination showed a better inactivation effect on PPO than UV-C rays used separately. Residual activity of PPO in CAJ was reduced to 32.58% when treated with UV-LED in combination of UV-C (280 nm) and UV-A (365 nm) rays. Additionally, the total color change (ΔE) of CAJ subjected to combined UV-LED irradiation at 280/365 nm was the lowest compared to other studied processing conditions. This study provides key implications for the future application of UV-LEDs to fruit juice pasteurization.
