    (Gıda Teknolojisi Derneği, 2010) Ünlütürk, Sevcan; Ünlütürk, Sevcan; Baysal, Ayşe Handan; Baysal, Ayşe Handan; Atılgan, Mehmet R.; 03.08. Department of Food Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Sıvı yumurta beyazı, kabuğundan ayrılmış yarı geçirgen (opak) görünümlü yumurta ürünüdür. Sıvı yumurta beyazı, düşük sıcaklık ve kısa sürelerde pastörize edilerek dayanıklı hale getirilmektedir. Ancak yüksek protein içeriği nedeni ile ısıl işlem ürün kalitesini olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Bu çalışma, ısıl işleme alternatif olarak öne sürülen UV-C ışınlama yöntemiyle sıvı yumurta beyazının mikrobiyolojik kalitesinin incelenmesini kapsamaktadır. Bu amaçla; yumurta beyazı örnekleri, E. coli 0157-.H7 (ATCC 700728), L. innocua (NRRL-B 33314) ve E. coli K-12 (ATCC 25253) ile inoküle edilerek belli dozlarda UV-C ışın uygulamasına tabi tutulmuştur. Denemeler 0-100 mJ/cm2UV doz aralığı ve 1.315 mW/cm2 UV şiddetinde, laboratuvar ölçekli UV dezenfeksiyon cihazı kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, E. coli 0157:H7, E. coli K-12 ve L. innocua sayılarında maksimum 3.206±0.777 log, 2.719±0.63 log ve 2.624±0.268 log kob/mL azalma saptanmıştır. Sıvı yumurta beyazı üretiminde, UV-C ışınlarının bir ön işlem olarak kullanılabileceği ve ürünün mikrobiyolojik stâbilitesini artırılabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.

    Short Wave Ultraviolet Light (uvc) Disinfection of Surface - Inhibition of Alicyclobacillus Acidoterrestris Spores on Agar Medium
    (Technical Research Center of Finland, 2008) Baysal, Ayşe Handan; Ünlütürk, Sevcan; Ünlütürk, Sevcan; Baysal, Ayşe Handan; 03.08. Department of Food Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Alicyclobacillus species are thermoacidophilic spoilage spore-formers found in soil. The spores can survive the normal hot fill processes that are carried out on commercial fruit juices. It seems likely that fruit in contact with soil are susceptible to contamination by Alicyclobacillus. Beverage ingredients e.g. liquid sugar are also a potential contamination sources. Alicyclobacillus has also been isolated from citrus processing lines.

    Uv-C Light Inactivation and Modeling Kinetics of Alicyclobacillus Acidoterrestris Spores in White Grape and Apple Juices
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2013) Baysal, Ayşe Handan; Molva, Çelenk; Molva, Çelenk; Ünlütürk, Sevcan; Ünlütürk, Sevcan; Baysal, Ayşe Handan; 03.08. Department of Food Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    In the present study, the effect of short wave ultraviolet light (UV-C) on the inactivation of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris DSM 3922 spores in commercial pasteurized white grape and apple juices was investigated. The inactivation of A. acidoterrestris spores in juices was examined by evaluating the effects of UV light intensity (1.31, 0.71 and 0.38mW/cm2) and exposure time (0, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12 and 15min) at constant depth (0.15cm). The best reduction (5.5-log) was achieved in grape juice when the UV intensity was 1.31mW/cm2. The maximum inactivation was approximately 2-log CFU/mL in apple juice under the same conditions. The results showed that first-order kinetics were not suitable for the estimation of spore inactivation in grape juice treated with UV-light. Since tailing was observed in the survival curves, the log-linear plus tail and Weibull models were compared. The results showed that the log-linear plus tail model was satisfactorily fitted to estimate the reductions. As a non-thermal technology, UV-C treatment could be an alternative to thermal treatment for grape juices or combined with other preservation methods for the pasteurization of apple juice.

    Modeling Inactivation Kinetics of Liquid Egg White Exposed To Uv-C Irradiation
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Ünlütürk, Sevcan; Atılgan, Mehmet Reşat; Ünlütürk, Sevcan; Ünlütürk, Mehmet S.; Baysal, Ayşe Handan; 03.08. Department of Food Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The efficiency of UV-C irradiation as a non-thermal pasteurization process for liquid egg white (LEW) was investigated. LEW inoculated with Escherichia coli K-12 (ATCC 25253), pathogenic strain of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (NCTC12900) and Listeria innocua (NRRL B33314) were treated with UV light using a bench top collimated beam apparatus. Inoculated LEW samples were exposed to UV-C irradiation of known UV intensity of 1.314mW/cm2 and sample depth of 0.153cm for 0, 3 5, 7, 10, 13, 17 and 20min. The populations of E. coli K-12, E. coli O157:H7 and L. innocua were reduced after 20min of exposure by 0.896, 1.403 and 0.960logCFU respectively. Additionally, the inactivation data obtained for each strain suspended in LEW was correlated by using Weibull (2 parameter), Log-Linear (1 parameter), Hom (2 parameter) and modified Chick Watson (2 parameter) models. The inactivation kinetics of E. coli K-12, E. coli O157:H7 and L. innocua were best described by modified Chick Watson model with the smallest root mean squared error (RMSE) (R2≥0.92). © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

    Quantitative risk assessment models for food pathogens
    (Technical Research Center of Finland, 2009) Baysal, Ayşe Handan; Ünlütürk, Sevcan; Ünlütürk, Sevcan; Baysal, Ayşe Handan; 03.08. Department of Food Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Risk assessment (RA) which is a holistic approach involves hazard identification, exposure assessment, dose-response assessment, and risk characterization (Oscar, 2004). Microbiological risk assessments (MRAs) have been subdivided into four steps, which comprise, hazard identification, hazard characterization, exposure assessment and risk characterization. RAs are well developed for chemical hazards, and much effort has been put into the application of this type analysis to microbial food safety risks, especially for human foodborne diseases. The methods used for MRA, as well as the underlying concepts for evaluating risk derived from foodborne organisms and the effects of control measures on reducing risk are still new to many countries including developing countries. It is important to demonstrate examples of practical data generation and modelling even if they are limited in data size.

    Use of Uv-C Radiation as a Non-Thermal Process for Liquid Egg Products (lep)
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Ünlütürk, Sevcan; Atılgan, Mehmet Reşat; Baysal, Ayşe Handan; Tarı, Canan; Ünlütürk, Sevcan; Tarı, Canan; 03.08. Department of Food Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The efficacy of short wave ultraviolet light (UV-C) as a non-thermal process for liquid egg products (LEP) was investigated. Non-pathogenic Escherichia coli strain (ATCC 8739), which shows lower sensitivity to UV-C light than E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella typhimurium, was chosen as a target microorganism. The inactivation of UV resistant strain of E. coli in LEP was examined by evaluating the effects of depth of liquid food medium (0.5, 0.3 and 0.153 cm), UV light intensity (1.314, 0.709 and 0.383 mW/cm2) and exposure time (0, 5, 10, and 20 min) by using a collimated beam apparatus. The best reduction (>2-log) was achieved in liquid egg white (LEW) when the fluid depth and UV intensity were 0.153 cm and 1.314 mW/cm2, respectively. Maximum inactivation was 0.675-log CFU/ml in liquid egg yolk (LEY) and 0.316-log CFU/ml in liquid whole egg (LWE) at the same conditions. The kinetics of UV inactivation of E. coli in LEP was nonlinear. Our results emphasize that UV-C radiation can be used as a pre-treatment process or combined with mild heat treatment to reduce the adverse effects of thermal pasteurization of LEP.
