Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 20Composition, Color and Mechanical Characteristics of Pretreated Candied Chestnuts(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2006) Korel, Figen; Balaban, Murat ÖmerRaw-peeled chestnuts were treated with citric acid or sodium metabisulphite, steamed, and dipped into sugar solutions containing dextrose and sucrose, or dextrose and fructose. Composition, mineral content, weight change, rheological properties, and color were measured at each step. Carbohydrate content increased during processing. Candied chestnuts were low in protein (1.31-1.35%) and lipids (0.29-0.78%) but high in carbohydrates (73.48-76.13%). Their mineral concentrations were: Ca 19.08-46.70, Cu 0.19-0.52, Fe 0.88-1.98, K 180.5-659.1, Mg 26.83-69.57, Mn 0.70-2.42, Zn 1.51-6.95 mg/100 g sample. Rheological properties were affected by processing steps. Dipping into sugar solutions did not affect rheological properties. Color changes were quantified, and average L*, a*, and b*values measured.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 12Odor Evaluation of Shrimp Treated With Different Chemicals Using an Electronic Nose and a Sensory Panel(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2007) Luzuriaga, Diego A.; Korel, Figen; Balaban, Murat ÖmerAn electronic nose with 12 conducting polymer sensors was used to measure odors of raw shrimp treated with different chemicals. Headless shell-on pink shrimp (Pandalus jordani) were treated with bleach (0, 25, 50, 100 and 200 ppm), phosphates (0, 2, 4 and 6% w/v) and sulfites (0, 0.75, 1.25 and 2% w/v) and stored at 2°C for 48 hours. Odors were evaluated by sensory panels and an electronic nose. Aerobic plate counts were performed. Discriminant function analysis was used as the pattern recognition technique to differentiate samples based on odors. Results showed that the electronic nose could discriminate differences in odor due to chemicals present in shrimp. The correct classification rates for bleach, phosphate and sulfite treated shrimp were 92.7, 95.8, and 99.2%, respectively.
