Article Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 42Degradation of Various Fruit Juice Anthocyanins by Hydrogen Peroxide(Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Özkan, Mehmet; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Cemeroglu, BekirDegradation kinetics of anthocyanins was studied in sour cherry nectar, pomegranate and strawberry juices at high hydrogen peroxide (H2O 2) concentrations (9.31-27.92 mmol l-1) at 10-30°C and in only sour cherry nectar at low H2O2 concentrations (0.23-2.33 mmol l-1) at 20°C. Degradation of anthocyanins followed the first-order reaction kinetics. Sour cherry anthocyanins were the most resistant to H2O2, followed by pomegranate and strawberry anthocyanins. Degradation of anthocyanins was also studied in sour cherry nectar and pomegranate juice in the presence of ascorbic acid at 60 and 80 mg l-1 concentrations at 20°C. At 80 mg level, ascorbic acid significantly accelerated the degradation of anthocyanins in sour cherry nectar at 4.65, 6.98 and 9.31 mmol l-1 H2O2 concentrations. In contrast, ascorbic acid at both 60 and 80 mg levels protected the anthocyanins from degradation by H2O2 in pomegranate juice.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 24Consistency of Polyphenol Oxidase (ppo) Thermostability in Ripening Apricots (prunus Armeniaca L.): Evidence for the Presence of Thermostable Ppo Forming and Destabilizing Mechanisms in Apricots(American Chemical Society, 2003) Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Cemeroglu, BekirDestabilization of thermostable polyphenol oxidase (TS-PPO) during the ripening of peaches has been previously shown (Yemenicioǧlu, A; Cemeroǧlu, B. Tr. J. Agric. For. 1998, 22, 261-265). This work studied the effect of ripening on thermal stability of apricot PPO for three different cultivars. Kabaaşi cultivar contained thermolabile PPO, whereas TS-PPO appeared in Hacihaliloǧlu and Çataloǧlu cultivars. The TS-PPO showed biphasic inactivation curves, and its D and z values between 60 and 90 °C varied in the ranges of 357-1.12 min and 11.9-12.7 °C, respectively. In Hacihaliloǧlu cultivar the TS-PPO was very consistent and existed at all stages of ripening, whereas in Çataloǧlu cultivar it appeared only at the half-ripe stage. The loss of consistent TS-PPO in Hacihaliloǧlu apricots after partial purification by acetone precipitation and DEAE-cellulose chromatography suggested the non-covalent nature of its stabilization. The main purified fractions (F1 and F2) showed monophasic inactivation curves with similar thermal inactivation parameters (ZF1 = 10.4 °C, ZF2 = 10.1 °C). However, their kinetic properties against catechol (KmF1 = 61 mM, KmF2 = 122.7 mM) and substrate specificities were considerably different. The results of this study showed the presence of TS-PPO forming and destabilizing mechanisms in apricots. Further studies are needed for the solution of these mechanisms and to develop some new strategies that may be utilized by molecular techniques for a planned production of apricot cultivars provided with heat labile but normal PPO activity.Article Citation - WoS: 38Citation - Scopus: 43Degradation Kinetics of Anthocyanins From Sour Cherry, Pomegranate, and Strawberry Juices by Hydrogen Peroxide(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2002) Özkan, Mehmet; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet; Asefi, N.; Cemeroglu, BekirDegradations were studied at different hydrogen peroxide (H2O2] concentrations (9.31 to 27.92 mmol. L-1] over a range of 10 ° to 30 °C. Degradation of anthocyanins by H2O2 was described by first-order function. Comparison of t1/2 values revealed that sour cherry anthocyanins were the most resistant to H2O2, followed by pomegranate and strawberry anthocyanins. Thus, the removal of residual H2O2 from the juice contact surfaces of aseptically packaged strawberry juices should be controlled more carefully to prevent anthocyanin degradation. Respective Ea values were between 9.4 to 11.1, 9.5 to 11.4, and 11.4 to 12.2 kcal.mol-1; and Q10 values between 1.59 to 2.22, 1.62 to 2.05, and 1.76 to 2.36 for strawberry, sour cherry, and pomegranate anthocyanins.
