Conference Object Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 16Drying of Olive Leaves in a Geothermal Dryer and Determination of Quality Parameters of Dried Product(Elsevier, 2019) Helvacı, Hüseyin Utku; Menon, Abhay; Aydemir, Levent Yurdaer; Korel, Figen; Gökçen Akkurt, GüldenIn this study, a cabinet type geothermal dryer was designed, operated and tested for drying olive leaves with minimum losses of phenolic content and antioxidant capacity by optimization of drying conditions. Two factors; face centered central composite design was applied and response surface methodology was used to optimize the drying conditions of olive leaves. The results indicate that phenolic content stability were mainly affected by air temperature, whereas antioxidant capacity is affected by both air temperature and velocity (p<0.05). The optimal drying conditions were found to be at 50°C of air temperature and 1 m/s of air velocity for the minimum losses of determined quality parameters, where 88.8% of phenolic content and 95.3% of antioxidant capacity were recovered.Article Citation - WoS: 94Citation - Scopus: 106Distribution of Simple Phenols, Phenolic Acids and Flavonoids in Turkish Monovarietal Extra Virgin Olive Oils for Two Harvest Years(Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Ocakoğlu, Derya; Tokatlı, Figen; Özen, Fatma Banu; Korel, FigenMonovarietal extra virgin olive oils extracted from six dominant and economically important Turkish olive cultivars (memecik, erkence, domat, nizip-yaglik, gemlik, ayvalik) were examined for their simple phenolics, phenolic acids and flavonoid compounds over 2005 and 2006 harvest years. Total phenol contents, oxidative stabilities and chromatic ordinates as colour parameters were also measured. The most typical phenolic compounds that were identified in both years are hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, vanillic acid, p-coumaric acid, cinnamic acid, luteolin, and apigenin. Multivariate data were analysed by principal component and partial least square-discriminant analyses. It was observed that phenolic profiles of olive oils depended highly on harvest season. In addition, oils of different olive cultivars have different distribution of phenols. No significant correlation was observed between oxidative stability and phenolic compounds. Increase in peroxide value over an accelerated oxidation period of 11 days showed weak correlations with total phenol content, vanillin, syringic acid and colour parameter a*, as 0.56, 0.55, -0.42, and 0.51, respectively, in terms of correlation coefficient r.
