Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 16Formulation of Gluten-Free Cookies Utilizing Chickpea, Carob, and Hazelnut Flours Through Mixture Design(MDPI, 2023) Doğruer, Ilgın; Başer, Filiz; Güleç, Şükrü; Tokatlı, Figen; Özen, BanuLegume flours, which offer high nutritional quality, present viable options for gluten-free bakery products. However, they may have an objectionable flavor and taste for some consumers. In this study, it was aimed to improve the gluten-free cookie formulation by incorporating carob and hazelnut flours to pre-cooked chickpea flour and to investigate the techno-functional properties of the formulated cookies. The flours used in the formulations were assessed for their chemical and physical properties. This study employed a mixture design (simplex-centroid) to obtain the proportions of the flours to be used in the cookie formulations. The rheological characteristics of the doughs and the technological attributes of the baked cookies were determined. The addition of the hazelnut and carob flours had the overall effect of reducing the rheological characteristics of the cookie doughs. Furthermore, the textural attribute of the hardness of the baked cookies decreased as the ratio of hazelnut flour in the formulations was raised. The analysed results and sensory evaluation pointed to a formulation consisting of 30% pre-cooked chickpea/30% carob/30% hazelnut flours, which exhibited improved taste and overall acceptability scores. A total of 16.82 g/100 g of rapidly digestible starch, 5.36 g/100 g of slowly digestible starch, and 8.30 g/100 g of resistant starch exist in this particular cookie. As a result, combinations of chickpea, hazelnut, and carob flours hold promise as good alternatives for gluten-free cookie ingredients and warrant further exploration in the development of similar products.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 17Techno-Functional and in Vitro Digestibility Properties of Gluten-Free Cookies Made From Raw, Pre-Cooked, and Germinated Chickpea Flours(MDPI, 2023) Doğruer, Ilgın; Çoban, Başak; Başer, Filiz; Güleç, Şükrü; Özen, BanuChickpea flour, which is produced in various forms, has high protein and fiber content; therefore, it can be a good ingredient for gluten-free cookies. The objective of this study was to investigate and compare the properties of cookies formulated using raw (RCF), cooked (CCF), and germinated (GCF) chickpea flours. The techno-functional properties of these flours were determined, and scanning electron microscope images and mid-infrared spectra were obtained. The rheological properties of cookie doughs were measured along with their mid-infrared spectra. Baked cookies were analyzed for their technological properties as well as their in vitro digestion properties. Sensory analysis was also performed for all the cookies. The most significant difference among the flours was observed in their water retention capacity, and CCF had 119.7% higher water retention capacity compared to RCF. The dough made with CCF had quite different rheological properties from the others. The cookies baked with GCF had the highest baking loss and spread ratio. The CCF-containing cookies had the hardest structure. The cookies made from RCF had a higher resistant starch content followed by the cookies with GCF. All the cookies had similar scores in all aspects tested in the sensory analysis. The use of three different forms of chickpea flour in cookie formulations resulted in products with very different properties; however, their overall acceptability levels were close.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 11Authentication of Pomegranate Juice in Binary and Ternary Mixtures With Spectroscopic Methods(Elsevier, 2023) Aykaç, Başak; Çavdaroğlu, Çağrı; Özen, BanuFruit juices are among the most commonly adulterated food products and especially pomegranate juice as a high value product is mixed with different adulterants for unfair economic profit. It was aimed to investigate the performances of UV–visible and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies combined with chemometric methods to determine adulteration of pomegranate juice with dark colored sour cherry and black carrot juices. Binary and ternary mixtures of pomegranate juice with 2 adulterants were prepared at 5–25% levels. After various data transformations, both spectroscopic data of authentic and adulterated samples were evaluated with different chemometric classification tools. Classification models with 97% correct classification rate for validation set were obtained both for UV–visible and FTIR spectral data. Accurate predictions of adulterant concentration were also achieved with chemometric models using both spectroscopic data. These spectroscopic techniques provide rapid and accurate prediction of pomegranate juice adulteration in binary and ternary mixtures with dark colored juices.Article Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 29Detection of Vinegar Adulteration With Spirit Vinegar and Acetic Acid Using Uv–visible and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(Elsevier, 2022) Çavdaroğlu, Çağrı; Özen, BanuVinegar is one of the commonly adulterated food products, and variations in product and adulterant spectrum make the detection of adulteration a challenging task. This study aims to determine adulteration of grape vinegars with spirit vinegar and synthetic acetic acid using different spectroscopic methods. For this purpose, grape vinegars were mixed separately with spirit vinegar and diluted synthetic acetic acid (4%) at 1–50% (v/v) ratios. Spectra of vinegars and mixtures were obtained with UV–visible and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers. Data were evaluated with various chemometric methods and artificial neural networks (ANN). Correct classification rates of at least 94.3% and higher values were obtained by the evaluation of both spectroscopic data along with their combination with chemometric methods and ANN for discrimination of non-adulterated and adulterated vinegars. UV–vis and FTIR spectroscopy can be rapid and accurate ways of detecting adulteration in vinegars regardless of adulterant type.Review Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10Authentication of Vinegars With Targeted and Non-Targeted Methods(Taylor & Francis, 2023) Çavdaroğlu, Çağrı; Çavdaroğlu, Çağrı; Özen, Banu; Özen, Fatma BanuThere has been a growing interest in vinegar, especially after the increasing reports about its beneficial health effects. 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.Article Citation - WoS: 35Citation - Scopus: 43Potential of Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy in Adulteration Detection and Quality Assessment in Buffalo and Goat Milks(Elsevier, 2021) Şen, Sevval; Dündar, Zahide; Uncu, Oğuz; Özen, BanuAdulteration of higher priced milks with cheaper ones to obtain extra profit can be the cause of adverse health effects as well as economic loss. In this study, it was aimed to differentiate goat-cow and buffalo-cow milk mixtures and also to estimate the critical quality parameters of these milks by the evaluation of Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic data with chemometric methods. Raw goat and buffalo milks were mixed with cow milk at 1-50% (v/v) concentrations and FTIR spectra of the pure and mixed samples were obtained at 4000-650 cm-1. Orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) resulted in differentiation of goat-cow and buffalo-cow milk mixtures with 93% and 91% correct classification rates, respectively. Detection level for mixing is determined as higher than 5% for both milks. Total fat, protein, lactose and non-fat solid contents were predicted from FTIR spectral data of the combination of three types of milks by partial least square models with R2 values of 0.99. As a result, FTIR spectroscopy provides rapid and simultaneous detection of adulteration and prediction of quality parameters regardless of the milk type.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 14Uv-Vis Spectroscopy for the Estimation of Variety and Chemical Parameters of Olive Oils(Springer, 2021) Jolayemi, Olusola Samuel; Tokatlı, Figen; Özen, BanuOlive oils produced in different years from different varieties were studied with UV-Vis spectroscopy for classification and prediction. Multivariate models were created with second derivative spectral data, and tested with external validation sets. For varietal classification, orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis resolved oil samples into various classes with correct classification rate more than 89% for validation set (n = 20). A sample of fresh and stored oils were also classified with a correct classification rate more than 90% for validation set (n = 20). In the predictions of chemical parameters (70 for calibration, 30 for validation), the combination of UV-Vis spectroscopy with orthogonal partial least square regression models showed potential for simultaneous quantification of chlorophylls (0.6-5.6 mg/kg; R-val(2) , 0.79; RPD, 1.97); carotenoids (0.6-3.3 mg/kg; R-val(2), 0.80; RPD, 2.38); ratio of mono to polyunsaturated fatty acids (3.6-8.8; R-val(2) , 0.77; RPD, 1.90), oleuropein derivatives (1.2-62.3 mg/kg; R-val(2) , 0.66; RPD, 1.77), and total phenol content (62.2-505 mg/kg; R-val(2) , 0.67; RPD, 1.74), although showed poor to moderate results for the quantification of free fatty acid (0.3-5.4%; R-val(2), 0.67; RPD, 1.64); monounsaturated fatty acids (66-76.5%; R-val(2) , 0.71; RPD, 1.67); polyunsaturated fatty acids (8.6-18.2%; R-val(2) , 0.73; RPD, 1.65). The models were unable to estimate oxidative stability, saturated fatty acids, and individual phenolics such as hydroxytyrosol, pinoresinol, luteolin, total phenolic acids (R-val(2) , 0.26-0.64; RPD, 0.60-1.52). Results showed the capacities of UV-Vis spectroscopy for classification of olive oils, and prediction of total pigments and phenol content and ratio of mono to polyunsaturated fatty acids.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 11Prediction of Vinegar Processing Parameters With Chemometric Modelling of Spectroscopic Data(Elsevier, 2021) Çavdaroğlu, Çağrı; Çavdaroğlu, Çağrı; Özen, Banu; Özen, Fatma BanuSpectroscopic methods have the advantages of being rapid and environmentally friendly and can be used in measurement and control of processing parameters during food production. It was aimed to predict several quality and chemical parameters of vinegar processing from UV-visible and mid-infrared spectroscopic profiles. Two processing lines of both traditional and submerged vinegar production from 2 separate grape varieties (green and red grapes) were monitored. Some of the important markers of the fermentation processes; pH, brix, total acidity, total flavonoid content, total and individual phenolic contents, organic acid, sugar, ethanol concentrations as well as UV-visible and mid-infrared spectra were obtained during both types of vinegar processing and quality and chemical parameters were predicted from spectroscopic data using chemometric methods. Individual UV-visible and mid-infrared spectral profiles along with low level of data fusion were used in building of chemometric prediction models. Accurate, reliable and robust prediction models (R(2)cal and R(2)val >0.9) were obtained for quality parameters mostly with combination of two spectroscopic datasets. Predictive models used for phenolic components were below average except for p-coumaric and syringic acids. Citric and acetic acids were the most accurately estimated ones among organic acids along with ethanol. Close agreements between reference and predicted values were obtained during the monitoring of changes of some quality parameters for vinegar fermentation process through rapid and simultaneous spectroscopic measurements.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Fatty Acid Alkyl Ester and Wax Compositions of Olive Oils as Varietal Authentication Indicators(Springer, 2021) Uncu, Oğuz; Özen, BanuMinor components of olive oils can be good markers for their authenticity, which is a significant quality issue for this product. It was aimed to determine individual and total fatty acid alkyl esters and waxes as minor constituents of olive oil and to investigate their novel varietal authentication capability separately and in combination for three main olive cultivars grown in three distinct locations of Aegean Region of Turkey. In addition, basic quality and purity parameters as free fatty acid, K values and fatty acid profiles were also determined for the characterization of the samples. Olive oil samples from different cultivars had different fatty acid profiles and two of these varieties had similar quality parameters. Statistical analyses were conducted with orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) to differentiate varieties with respect to their individual and combined parameters of fatty acid alkyl esters and waxes. For calibration sets, use of individual fatty acid alkyl esters profile resulted in 80% correct classification rate while waxes alone was 67% successful in classifying the olive oils according to variety. It was found that alkyl esters in combination with waxes were more effective in discrimination of olive oils with respect to cultivar compared to their individual forms and the correct classification rate for the generated model is 92% for calibration set. Since fatty acid alkyl esters along with waxes have effect on cultivar differentiation, they could have a potential as authentication tools for olive oil besides their known quality characteristics.Article Citation - WoS: 25Citation - Scopus: 30Prediction of Chemical Parameters and Authentication of Various Cold Pressed Oils With Fluorescence and Mid-Infrared Spectroscopic Methods(Elsevier Ltd., 2021) Doğruer, Ilgın; Uyar, H. Hilal; Uncu, Oğuz; Özen, BanuIt was aimed to compare the performances of two spectroscopic methods, fluorescence and mid-infrared spectroscopy, in terms of their adulteration detection and estimation of several chemical properties for various cold pressed seed oils. Spectroscopic profiles, fatty acid, free fatty acid and total phenol contents of pumpkin seed, grape seed, black cumin oil, and sesame seed oils were determined and these oils were mixed with sunflower oil at 1–50% (v/v). Both spectroscopic techniques provided comparable results for determination of adulteration of each oil type and the most successful prediction was obtained for pumpkin seed oil at levels >%1. Combined data set of oils resulted in successful quantification of their free fatty acid value, total phenol and major fatty acids contents with both spectroscopic methods regardless of oil type. Both techniques could be used as reliable, fast and environmentally friendly alternatives in the analyses of different types of seed oils. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd
