    Assessing Edible Composite Film Polymer From Potato Industry Effluent Under High Hydrostatic Pressure and Its Antimicrobial Properties
    (Wiley, 2022) Akdemir Evrendilek, Gülsün; Bulut, Nurullah; Uzuner, Sibel
    Development of edible film from potato industry effluent having antimicrobial properties against Salmonella enteritidis and Escherichia coli O157:H7 by addition of Citrus sinensis volatile oil (VO), and changes of its textural properties under high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) are investigated. The optimum operational conditions are determined as 500 MPa pressure, 36.97 µL VO, and 15 min processing time with the minimum force value of 372.33 × g. Textural properties are also modeled through empirical modeling, best fit Box-Behnken design, and artificial neuron network. Inhibition zones for Salmonella enteritidis and E. coli O157:H7 at the optimum HHP conditions are 1.50 ± 0.11 and 2.18 ± 0.07 cm, respectively. Textural properties of force and elongation at break of the HHP-processed films range from 2.27 ± 0.52 to 5.23 ± 0.38 N, and from 8.57 ± 1.31 to 13.36 ± 1.36 mm, respectively. Thermal transition of the edible film is observed at 87.42 °C for 7.36 min. Addition of C. sinensis VO improves the antimicrobial properties, whereas HHP improves the textural properties of the film. It is suggested that the developed film has potential to be used as an edible food packaging material.

    Prediction of Aspergillus Parasiticus Inhibition and Aflatoxin Mitigation in Red Pepper Flakes Treated by Pulsed Electric Field Treatment Using Machine Learning and Neural Networks
    (Elsevier, 2022) Akdemir Evrendilek, Gülsün; Bulut, Nurullah; Atmaca, Bahar; Uzuner, Sibel
    Presence of aflatoxins in agricultural products is a worldwide problem. Because of their high heat stability and resistance to most of the food processing technologies, aflatoxin degradation is still a big challenge. Thus, efficacy of pulsed electric fields (PEF) by energies ranging from 0.97 to 17.28 J was tested to determine changes in quality properties in red pepper flakes, mitigation of aflatoxins, inactivation of aflatoxin producing Aspergillus parasiticus, reduction in aflatoxin mutagenity, and modelling of A. parasiticus inactivation in addition to aflatoxin mitigation. Maximum inactivation rate of 64.37 % with 17.28 J was encountered on the mean initial A. parasiticus count. A 99.88, 99.47, 97.75, and 99.58 % reductions were obtained on the mean initial AfG1, AfG2, AfB1, and AfB2 concentrations. PEF treated samples by 0.97, 1.36, 5.76, and 17.28 J at 1 μg/plate, 0.97, 1.92, 7.78, 10.80 J at 10 μg/plate, and 0.97, 1.92, 2.92, 4.08, 5.76, 4.86, 6.80, 9.60, 10.80, and 10.89 J at 100 μg/plate were not mutagenic. Modelling with gradient boosting regression tree (GBRT), random forest regression (RFR), and artificial neural network (ANN) provided the lowest RMSE and highest R2 value for GBRT model for the predicted inactivation of A. parasiticus, whereas ANN model provided the lowest RMSE and highest R2 for predicted mitigation of AfG1, AfB1, and AfB2. PEF treatment possess a viable alternative for aflatoxin degradation with reduced mutagenity and without adverse effect on quality properties of red pepper flakes.
