    Detection of Vinegar Adulteration With Spirit Vinegar and Acetic Acid Using Uv–visible and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
    (Elsevier, 2022) Çavdaroğlu, Çağrı; Özen, Banu
    Vinegar is one of the commonly adulterated food products, and variations in product and adulterant spectrum make the detection of adulteration a challenging task. This study aims to determine adulteration of grape vinegars with spirit vinegar and synthetic acetic acid using different spectroscopic methods. For this purpose, grape vinegars were mixed separately with spirit vinegar and diluted synthetic acetic acid (4%) at 1–50% (v/v) ratios. Spectra of vinegars and mixtures were obtained with UV–visible and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers. Data were evaluated with various chemometric methods and artificial neural networks (ANN). Correct classification rates of at least 94.3% and higher values were obtained by the evaluation of both spectroscopic data along with their combination with chemometric methods and ANN for discrimination of non-adulterated and adulterated vinegars. UV–vis and FTIR spectroscopy can be rapid and accurate ways of detecting adulteration in vinegars regardless of adulterant type.

    Bioethanol Production From Low Cost Agro-Industrial Waste Products
    (Elsevier, 2012) Evcan, Ezgi; Tarı, Canan; Özen, Banu
    In recent years, the rapid increase in environmental problems, greenhouse gas emissions, fuel prices and the unlimited consumption of limited fossil fuel stocks made people search for some alternative energy sources. Bioethanol is one of the most popular alternative source with its many beneficial features. Besides, bioethanol which will be obtained from low cost raw materials will be more attractive. Bioethanol produced from lignocellulosic biomass sources, such as agricultural residues, offers unique environmental and economic benefits.

    Use of Ftir and Uv-Visible Spectroscopy in Determination of Chemical Characteristics of Olive Oils
    (Elsevier, 2019) Uncu, Oğuz; Özen, Banu; Tokatlı, Figen
    It was aimed to predict fatty acid ethyl ester (FAEE), wax, diacylglycerol (DAG) and color pigment contents of olive oils by using rapid and non-destructive spectroscopic techniques (FTIR and UV-vis) individually and in combination. Prediction models were constructed by using partial least squares (PLS) regression with cross and external validation. FAEEs were estimated best with FTIR + UV-Vis spectroscopy (R-cv.(2) = 0.84, R-pred(2) = 0.90, and RPD = 3.0). PLS model with R-cv.(2) = 0.79, R-pred(2) = 0.71, and RPD = 1.9 was obtained for the estimation of 1,2 DAG using FTIR spectral data. Major pigments, lutein, pheophytin a and their derivatives and total xanthophylls were quantified successfully by FTIR + UV-Vis with a range of R-cv.(2) of 0.71-0.85, R-pred(2) of 0.70-0.84, and RPD = 1.5-2.5 values but the prediction of the rest of the pigments were poor (R-cv(2) = 0.60-0.76, R-pred(2) = 0.42-0.62, and RPD = 1.2-1.5). Combination of two spectral data resulted in average prediction of wax content of oils (R-cal(2) = 0.95, R-pred(2) = 0.75, and RPD = 1.9). FTIR and UV-vis spectroscopic techniques in combination with PLS regression provided promising results for the prediction of several chemical parameters of olive oils; therefore, they could be alternatives to traditional analysis methods.
