Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 11Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Organosolv-Pretreated Corncob and Succinic Acid Production by Actinobacillus Succinogenes(Elsevier, 2024) Buyukoztekin, Gulperi Karanfil; Buyukkileci, Ali OguzIn this study, the conversion of organosolv-treated corncob into monosaccharides through enzymatic sacchari-fication was investigated, with the resulting monosaccharides being utilized as a carbon source to produce succinic acid. The synergy between the cellulase and xylanase provided 76% cellulose and 64% xylan di-gestibility at 50 degrees C and pH 5.2. In separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF), Actinobacillus succinogenes pro-duced 12.7 g/L of succinic acid from the hydrolysate with 0.12 g/g yield based on the pretreated corncob. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) demonstrated better performance with 16 g/L succinic acid titer and 0.24 g/g yield, though SHF provided a higher production rate. The condition in the SSF (37 degrees C and pH near neutral) was suboptimal for the enzymes, thus the succinic acid production was limited by the saccharification step. These findings emphasize the potential of organosolv-treated corncob to serve as an enzymatic hydrolysis substrate without neutralization and detoxification, supplying glucose and xylose for succinic acid production by A. succinogenes.Letter Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Correspondence To "Locoregional Therapy in De Novo Metastatic Breast Cancer: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis, Written by Reinhorn D Et Al. in the Breast Journal 58 (2021) 173-181(Churchill Livingstone, 2021) Soran, Atilla; Ozbas, Serdar; Dogan, Lut; Isik, Arda; Sezgin, EfeArticle Citation - WoS: 42Citation - Scopus: 55Processing of Clear and Turbid Grape Juice by a Continuous Flow Uv System(Elsevier Ltd, 2016) Kaya, Z.; Unluturk, S.The inactivation of inoculated (S. cerevisiae) and spoilage microorganisms, i.e. yeasts and lactic acid bacteria (LAB), in clear and turbid grape juice was investigated using a pilot scale UV system. The biodosimetry method was used for UV dose prediction in a continuous flow UV reactor. Weibull model was applied for fitting the inactivation data. The flow rates (774, 820 ml/min) in this system were very close to the ones used in fruit juice processing. S. cerevisiae in clear juice was reduced by 3.39 ± 0.04 at 65.50 mJ/cm2 of UV dose. 1.54 ± 0.04 and 1.64 ± 0.03 log CFU/ml reductions were obtained for spoilage yeasts and LAB in turbid juice at UV dose of 78.56 and 67.97 mJ/cm2, respectively. The soluble solids (°Brix) and pH of grape juice samples were not affected by UV-C treatment (p > 0.05). Although the color parameters slightly were changed after irradiation, the color of PCGJ and FSTGJ did not show visual difference compared to the untreated samples. Industrial relevance: UV light has a potential to reduce the levels of microbial contamination in liquid foods. Although grape juice has many beneficial health effects, it has a fairly short shelf life. Therefore, pasteurization is required. But the thermal pasteurization has some undesired effects on the juice quality. Consumer demands for high quality fruit juice with fresh-like characteristics have markedly expanded in recent years. In the current study, the microbial inactivation efficiency of a pilot scale UV system for non-thermal treatment of clear and turbid grape juice was evaluated under conservative conditions. Most of the physicochemical properties of grape juice samples were not significantly affected from UV-C treatment (p > 0.05). This would be a major advantage in the processing of nutritious juice products. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
