Editorial Citation - Scopus: 1Novel Methodologies for Food Quality and Provenance Fingerprints Assessment(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2019) Ceto, Xavier; Diaz-Cruz, Jose M.; Tokatlı, Figen; Lucci, Paolo; Moret, SabrinaThe development of novel reliable methodologies that allow the control, assessment, and prediction of the characteristics of food products is a field under expansion nowadays, especially those that allow their characterization, classification, and authentication. On the one side, the highly competitive global environment in food industry requires continuous innovation and a better sustainable usage of our natural resources in order to improve the high standards of food producers, leading to high value-added products. The linkage of new research ideas with food production provides a competitive advantage to food makers to fulfil the competitive market challenges.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 10Quality of Flavored Yogurt Containing Added Coffee and Sugar(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2007) Tan, Gürdal; Korel, FigenYogurts flavored with instant coffee (0.5, 0.7 and 0.9%) and sweetened with sugar (4 or 5%) and a control yogurt (no coffee or sugar) were evaluated for chemical, physical, microbiological and sensory properties. The added ingredients generally had no effect on the chemical, physical and microbiological quality of yogurts at day 1 after preparation as compared to the control. During 15 days at 5-7C, pH and lactic acid bacteria counts decreased (P < 0.05) and titratable acidity increased (P < 0.05) in all samples. Yogurts with 0.5% coffee flavoring and 4 and 5% sugar met Turkish Institute Standards for yogurt sensory quality when evaluated by a trained 10-member panel. Yogurt flavored with 0.5% coffee and containing 5% sugar had most attributes rated in the "like" category by 50% or more of 51 consumer panelists.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Effect of Hydrogen Peroxide on Sour Cherry Anthocyanins(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2000) Özkan, Mehmet; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Çıtak, Bahar; Cemeroğlu, BekirDegradation of sour cherry anthocyanins was studied at different H2O2 concentrations (0.233-11.63 mmol.L-1) over the temperature range of 20-55C. Degradation reaction fitted to a first order kinetic model progressed very rapidly even at low H2O2 concentrations. Thus, the t1/2 values at 20C varied between 111-20 h in the concentration range of 0.233-2.327 mmol.L-1 H2O2. The degradation of anthocyanins occurred at a faster rate with increasing temperature at 5.82 and 11.63 mmol.L-1 H2O2 concentrations. Between 25-55C, activation energies (Ea) were 9.53 and 10.60 kcal.mol-1 for 5.82 and 11.63 mmol.L-1 H2O2 concentrations, respectively. Higher Ea value at 11.63 mmol.L-1 H2O2 concentration indicated that the effect of temperature increased at higher H2O2 concentrations. A quadratic relationship (y = -0.0031x2 + 0.0218x + 0.0008, R2 = 0.996) was found between the degradation rates at 20C and H2O2 concentrations of 0.233-2.327 mmol.L-1. According to this equation, k of 1.12 × 10-3 h-1 and t1/2 of 26 days at 20C may be expected at 0.5 ppm (0.0147 mmol.L-1) H2O2 concentration, i.e., the max. allowable H2O2 level by FDA in the finished food packages.
