Review Citation - WoS: 41Citation - Scopus: 43Electrochemical Sensors in the Food Sector: a Review(American Chemical Society, 2024) Ghaani, Masoud; Azimzadeh, Mostafa; Büyüktaş, Duygu; Carullo, Daniele; Farris, StefanoIn a world that is becoming increasingly concerned with health, safety, and the sustainability of food supply chains, the control and assurance of food quality have become of utmost importance. This review examines the application and potential of electrochemical sensors in the dynamic field of food science to meet these expanding demands. The article introduces electrochemical sensors and describes their operational mechanics and the components contributing to their function. A summary of the most prevalent electrochemical methods outlines the diverse food analysis techniques available. The review shifts to discussing the food science applications of these sensors, highlighting their crucial role in detecting compounds in food samples like meat, fish, juice, and milk for contemporary quality control. This paper showcases electrochemical sensors' utility in food analysis, underscoring their significance as powerful, efficient tools for maintaining food safety and how they could transform our approach to global food quality control and assurance.Article Citation - WoS: 307Citation - Scopus: 364Iron Absorption: Factors, Limitations, and Improvement Methods(American Chemical Society, 2022) Pişkin, Elif; Cianciosi, Danila; Güleç, Şükrü; Tomas, Merve; Çapanoğlu, EsraIron is an essential element for human life since it participates in many functions in the human body, including oxygen transport, immunity, cell division and differentiation, and energy metabolism. Iron homeostasis is mainly controlled by intestinal absorption because iron does not have active excretory mechanisms for humans. Thus, efficient intestinal iron bioavailability is essential to reduce the risk of iron deficiency anemia. There are two forms of iron, heme and nonheme, found in foods. The average daily dietary iron intake is 10 to 15 mg in humans since only 1 to 2 mg is absorbed through the intestinal system. Nutrient-nutrient interactions may play a role in dietary intestinal iron absorption. Dietary inhibitors such as calcium, phytates, polyphenols and enhancers such as ascorbic acid and proteins mainly influence iron bioavailability. Numerous studies have been carried out for years to enhance iron bioavailability and combat iron deficiency. In addition to traditional methods, innovative techniques are being developed day by day to enhance iron bioavailability. This review will provide information about iron bioavailability, factors affecting absorption, iron deficiency, and recent studies on improving iron bioavailability.Article Citation - WoS: 35Citation - Scopus: 43Controlled Release Properties of Zein-Fatty Acid Blend Films for Multiple Bioactive Compounds(American Chemical Society, 2014) Arcan, İskender; Yemenicioğlu, AhmetTo develop edible films having controlled release properties for multiple bioactive compounds, hydrophobicity and morphology of zein films were modified by blending zein with oleic (C18:1)Δ9, linoleic (C18:2)Δ9,12, or lauric (C12) acids in the presence of lecithin. The blend zein films showed 2-8.5- and 1.6-2.9-fold lower initial release rates for the model active compounds, lysozyme (LYS) and (+)-catechin (CAT), than the zein control films, respectively. The change of fatty acid chain length affected both CAT and LYS release rates while the change of fatty acid double bond number affected only the CAT release rate. The film morphologies suggested that the blend films owe their controlled release properties mainly to the microspheres formed within their matrix and encapsulation of active compounds. The blend films showed antilisterial activity and antioxidant activity up to 81 μmol Trolox/cm2. The controlled release of multiple bioactive compounds from a single film showed the possibility of combining application of active and bioactive packaging technologies and improving not only safety and quality but also health benefits of packed food.Article Citation - WoS: 76Citation - Scopus: 85Development of Flexible Antimicrobial Packaging Materials Against Campylobacter Jejuni by Incorporation of Gallic Acid Into Zein-Based Films(American Chemical Society, 2011) Alkan, Derya; Aydemir, Levent Yurdaer; Arcan, İskender; Yavuzdurmaz, Hatice; Atabay, Halil İbrahim; Ceylan, Çağatay; Yemencioğlu, AhmetIn this study, antimicrobial films were developed against Campylobacter jejuni by incorporation of gallic acid (GA) into zein-based films. The zein and zein-wax composite films containing GA between 2.5 and 10 mg/cm 2 were effective on different C. jejuni strains in a concentration-dependent manner. Zein and zein-wax composite films showed different release profiles in distilled water but quite similar release profiles at solid agar medium. Depending on incorporated GA concentration, 60-80% of GA released from the films, while the remaining GA was bound or trapped by film matrix. The GA at 2.5 and 5 mg/cm 2 caused a considerable increase in elongation (57-280%) of all zein films and eliminated their classical flexibility problems. The zein-wax composite films were less flexible than zein films, but the films showed similar tensile strengths and Young's modulus. Scanning electron microscopy indicated different morphologies of zein and zein-wax composite films. This study clearly showed the good potential of zein and GA to develop flexible antimicrobial films against C. jejuni.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 24Consistency of Polyphenol Oxidase (ppo) Thermostability in Ripening Apricots (prunus Armeniaca L.): Evidence for the Presence of Thermostable Ppo Forming and Destabilizing Mechanisms in Apricots(American Chemical Society, 2003) Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Cemeroglu, BekirDestabilization of thermostable polyphenol oxidase (TS-PPO) during the ripening of peaches has been previously shown (Yemenicioǧlu, A; Cemeroǧlu, B. Tr. J. Agric. For. 1998, 22, 261-265). This work studied the effect of ripening on thermal stability of apricot PPO for three different cultivars. Kabaaşi cultivar contained thermolabile PPO, whereas TS-PPO appeared in Hacihaliloǧlu and Çataloǧlu cultivars. The TS-PPO showed biphasic inactivation curves, and its D and z values between 60 and 90 °C varied in the ranges of 357-1.12 min and 11.9-12.7 °C, respectively. In Hacihaliloǧlu cultivar the TS-PPO was very consistent and existed at all stages of ripening, whereas in Çataloǧlu cultivar it appeared only at the half-ripe stage. The loss of consistent TS-PPO in Hacihaliloǧlu apricots after partial purification by acetone precipitation and DEAE-cellulose chromatography suggested the non-covalent nature of its stabilization. The main purified fractions (F1 and F2) showed monophasic inactivation curves with similar thermal inactivation parameters (ZF1 = 10.4 °C, ZF2 = 10.1 °C). However, their kinetic properties against catechol (KmF1 = 61 mM, KmF2 = 122.7 mM) and substrate specificities were considerably different. The results of this study showed the presence of TS-PPO forming and destabilizing mechanisms in apricots. Further studies are needed for the solution of these mechanisms and to develop some new strategies that may be utilized by molecular techniques for a planned production of apricot cultivars provided with heat labile but normal PPO activity.
