Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 11Synthesis of Adsorbents With Dendronic Structures for Protein Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Mata-Gomez, Marco A.; Yaman, Sena; Valencia-Gallegos, Jesus A.; Tarı, Canan; Rito-Palomares, Marco; Gonzalez-Valdez, JoseHere, we introduced a new technology based on the incorporation of dendrons-branched chemical structures-onto supports for synthesis of HIC adsorbents. In doing so we studied the synthesis and performance of these novel HIC dendron-based adsorbents. The adsorbents were synthesized in a facile two-step reaction. First, Sepharose 4FF (R) was chemically modified with polyester dendrons of different branching degrees i.e. third (G3) or fifth (G5) generations. Then, butyl-end valeric acid ligands were coupled to dendrons via ester bond formation. UV-vis spectrophotometry and FTIR analyses of the modified resins confirmed the presence of the dendrons and their ligands on them. Inclusion of dendrons allowed the increment of ligand density, 82.5 ± 11 and 175.6 ± 5.7 μmol ligand/mL resin for RG3 and RG5, respectively. Static adsorption capacity of modified resins was found to be ~60 mg BSA/mL resin. Interestingly, dynamic binding capacity was higher at high flow rates, 62.5 ± 0.8 and 58.0 ± 0.5 mg/mL for RG3 and RG5, respectively. RG3 was able to separate lipase, β-lactoglobulin and α-chymotrypsin selectively as well as fractionating of a whole proteome from yeast. This innovative technology will improve the existing HIC resin synthesis methods. It will also allow the reduction of the amount of adsorbent used in a chromatographic procedure and thus permit the use of smaller columns resulting in faster processes. Furthermore, this method could potentially be considered as a green technology since both, dendrons and ligands, are formed by ester bonds that are more biodegradable allowing the disposal of used resin waste in a more ecofriendly manner when compared to other exiting resins.Article Citation - WoS: 124Citation - Scopus: 144Use of Uv-C Radiation as a Non-Thermal Process for Liquid Egg Products (lep)(Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Ünlütürk, Sevcan; Atılgan, Mehmet Reşat; Baysal, Ayşe Handan; Tarı, CananThe efficacy of short wave ultraviolet light (UV-C) as a non-thermal process for liquid egg products (LEP) was investigated. Non-pathogenic Escherichia coli strain (ATCC 8739), which shows lower sensitivity to UV-C light than E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella typhimurium, was chosen as a target microorganism. The inactivation of UV resistant strain of E. coli in LEP was examined by evaluating the effects of depth of liquid food medium (0.5, 0.3 and 0.153 cm), UV light intensity (1.314, 0.709 and 0.383 mW/cm2) and exposure time (0, 5, 10, and 20 min) by using a collimated beam apparatus. The best reduction (>2-log) was achieved in liquid egg white (LEW) when the fluid depth and UV intensity were 0.153 cm and 1.314 mW/cm2, respectively. Maximum inactivation was 0.675-log CFU/ml in liquid egg yolk (LEY) and 0.316-log CFU/ml in liquid whole egg (LWE) at the same conditions. The kinetics of UV inactivation of E. coli in LEP was nonlinear. Our results emphasize that UV-C radiation can be used as a pre-treatment process or combined with mild heat treatment to reduce the adverse effects of thermal pasteurization of LEP.Article Citation - WoS: 52Citation - Scopus: 62Solid-State Production of Polygalacturonase by Aspergillus Sojae Atcc 20235(Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Üstok, Fatma Işık; Tarı, Canan; Göğüş, NihanThe effect of solid substrates, inoculum and incubation time were studied using response surface methodology (RSM) for the production of polygalacturonase enzyme and spores in solid-state fermentation using Aspergillus sojae ATCC 20235. Two-stage optimization procedure was applied using D-optimal and face-centered central composite design (CCD). Crushed maize was chosen as the solid substrate, for maximum polygalacturonase enzyme activity based on D-optimal design. Inoculum and incubation time were determined to have significant effect on enzyme activity and total spore (p < 0.01) based on the results of CCD. A second order polynomial regression model was fitted and was found adequate for individual responses. All two models provided an adequate R2 of 0.9963 (polygalacturonase) and 0.9806 (spores) (p < 0.001). The individual optimum values of inoculum and incubation time for maximum production of the two responses were 2 × 107 total spores and 5-6 days. The predicted enzyme activity (30.55 U/g solid) and spore count (2.23 × 107 spore/ml) were very close to the actual values obtained experimentally (29.093 U/g solid and 2.31 × 107 spore/ml, respectively). The overall optimum region considering the two responses together, overlayed with the individual optima. Solid-state fermentation provided 48% more polygalacturonase activity compared to submerged fermentation under individually optimized conditions.
