Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Chemometric Analysis of Chemo-Optical Data for the Assessment of Olive Oil Blended With Hazelnut Oil(Stazione Sperimentale per le Industrie, 2019) Kadiroğlu, Pınar; Korel, Figen; Pardo, MatteoThe main objective of this study was to determine different hazelnut oil concentrations in extra virgin olive oil (EV00) belonging to different geographical regions inside Turkey using the combination of a SAW sensor based electronic nose (e-nose) and a machine vision system (MVS). We leveraged the oil characterisation given by the two easy-to-use and complementary experimental techniques through the adoption of conventional PCA for data exploration and random forests (RF) for supervised learning. The e-nose/MVS combination allows significantly better results both in adulteration detection independently of EVOO's geographical provenance and in EVO0 geographical provenance determination, independently of the adulteration level, with respect to the single characterisation method. RF analysis also produces feature ranking, permitting to shed light on which oils' characteristics influence the learning result. We found that EV00 geographical provenance discrimination is mainly due to yellowness and guaiacol content, while (E)-2-hexenal chiefly determines the prediction of the hazelnut level.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Usage of Rice Milk in Probiotic Yoghurt Production(North University of Baia Mare, 2016) Uzuner, Aydın Erdem; Kınık, Özer; Korel, Figen; Yıldız, Gamze; Yerlikaya, OktayThere are previous studies focusing on the production of probiotic and fermented dairy products made using vegetable based raw materials like oats and soy, however there is a limited number of studies on the usage of rice milk in fermented dairy products. Four different types of yoghurt samples were produced and stored for 21 days at 4°C. Physical, chemical, microbiological and sensory characteristics of the samples were performed at the 1st, 7th, 14th and 21st days of the storage. It was determined that rice milk increased the viscosity values but decreased the values of the texture, whey separation and the chemical and microbiological properties of yoghurts. Acetaldehyde, acetoin, acetone and diacetyl of carbonyl compounds were detected as main flavor components of yoghurt samples. In the sensory analysis, scores decreased as the rice milk proportions in yoghurt was increased and the panelists reported that P1 sample (25% rice milk + 75% cow's milk) was the closest sample to the control sample (100% cow's milk). Generally speaking, samples containing rice milk did not give good results. However, P1 samples were the most favored products among the samples containing rice milk as they were the closest product to the control group. The consumption of such products is continuously increasing as the customers' tendency to consider them as functional products rather than traditional food products increase.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 23Antimicrobial Potential of Polylysine in Edible Films(Japanese Society for Food Science and Technology, 2011) Uysal Ünalan, İlke; Arserim Uçar, Dılhun Keriman; Arcan, İskender; Korel, Figen; Yemenicioğlu, AhmetThe antimicrobial activity of edible films from whey proteins, alginate, zein and chitosan incorporated with polylysine (PL) and PL- ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Na 2EDTA) combination have been tested on different bacteria including Escherichia coli, Listeria innocua, Salmonella Typhimurium and Stapylococcus aureus. The PL-containing films of whey proteins, alginate and chitosan were effective on L. innocua, but had limited effect on E. coli. On the other hand, the PL-containing zein films showed good antimicrobial activity on both E. coli and L. innocua as well as on S. aureus. PL-Na 2EDTA combination also gave zein films effective on S. Typhimurium. The incorporation of PL alone or PL-Na 2EDTA combination did not cause any significant change in mechanical properties of zein films. Zein has a good potential to develop novel antimicrobial packaging materials incorporated with PL.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.
