Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Enhanced Reducing Sugar Production and Extraction for Chlorella Vulgaris in Mixotrophic Cultivation Using High Hydrostatic Pressure Processing and Ultrasound(Taylor & Francis, 2023) Uzuner, Sibel; Kurhan, Şebnem; Akdemir Evrendilek, GülsünAlthough extraction of polysaccharides to convert reducing sugars (RS) from microalgae by acid or alkali pretreatments and enzymatic hydrolysis has been extensively studied, few reports exploring the use of high hydrostatic pressure processing (HHP) and ultrasonication (US) as emerging technologies for the extraction of sugars from microalgae biomass exist. Thus, the present study was conducted to determine the effects of mixotrophic growth and stress conditions (NaNO3 and CO2 concentration and light intensity) on RS and protein accumulation in the unicellular green alga Chlorella vulgaris in addition to optimization of the effectiveness of the sequential applications of HHP and US with dilute acid as well as simultaneous enzymatic saccharification on the production of RS from microalga cells. High light intensity, high CO2 concentration and limited nitrogen concentration promoted RS production. The maximum protein content (0.0683 mg g(-1)) was achieved at 0.3 g l(-1) NaNO3 concentration, 7000 mu mol photons m(-2) s(-1) and 6 l min(-1) CO2 concentration. The highest RS content of C. vulgaris after 48 h enzymatic saccharification (583.86 +/- 13.23 mg g(-1)) was obtained at 1% (w/w) acid concentration and 80% amplitude for 30 min with 79.4% RS yield. Combined US-assisted dilute acid pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis were also found to be more effective than HHP assisted dilute acid pretreatment and enzymatic saccharification. Therefore, microalgal biomass can be considered a suitable renewable feedstock used in fermentation.

Bioactive compounds of vinegar are associated with its antimicrobial, antioxidant, antidiabetic, antitumor, and anti-obesity types of activities. Quality of vinegar is related with the authenticity of the product besides the amounts of bioactive compounds in its composition. Addition of cheaper substitutes to higher quality vinegars and false labeling are some common authentication problems for this product. There are various examples of the use of targeted and untargeted methods in authentication studies for vinegars. Specific constituents and properties of vinegars such as molecular isotope ratios and individual volatile compounds were used to detect adulteration with targeted methods. On the other hand, untargeted methods, mostly in the form of the application of spectroscopic techniques, such as infrared and fluorescence spectroscopy in combination with chemometrics, provide an overall measurement. This review mainly focuses on adulteration types and elaborates on different targeted and non-targeted methods used to authenticate vinegars.Book Part Strategies for Controlling Major Enzymatic Reactions in Fresh and Processed Vegetables(Taylor & Francis, 2016) Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet[No abstract available]
