Article Citation - WoS: 25Citation - Scopus: 32Impact of Raw, Roasted and Dehulled Chickpea Flours on Technological and Nutritional Characteristics of Gluten-Free Bread(MDPI, 2022) Kahraman, Gökçen; Harsa, Hayriye Şebnem; Casiraghi, Maria Cristina; Lucisano, Mara; Cappa, CarolaThe main objective of this study was to develop a healthy rice-based gluten-free bread by using raw, roasted, or dehulled chickpea flours. All breads containing chickpea flours showed a darker crust and were characterized by an alveolar (porosity 41.5–51.4%) and soft crumb (hardness 5.5-14.1 N). Roasted chickpea flour bread exhibited the highest specific volume, the softest crumb, and the slowest staling rate. Enriching rice-based breads with the chickpea flours resulted in increased protein (from 9.72 to 12.03–13.21 g/100 g dm), ash (from 2.01 to 2.45–2.78 g/100 g dm), fat (from 1.61 to 4.58–5.86 g/100 g), and total phenolic contents (from 49.36 up to 80.52 mg GAE/100 g dm), and in reduced (~10–14% and 13.7–17%, respectively) available starch levels and rapidly digestible starch compared to rice bread. Breads with roasted chickpea flour also showed the highest in vitro protein digestibility. The results of this study indicated that the enrichment of rice-based gluten-free breads with chickpea flours improved the technological and nutritional quality of the breads differently according to the processed chickpea flour used, also allowing recovery of a waste product.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 18Microencapsulation of a Potential Probiotic Lactiplantibacillus Pentosus and Its Impregnation Onto Table Olives(Elsevier, 2022) Elvan, Menşure; Baysal, Ayşe Handan; Harsa, Hayriye ŞebnemThis study aimed to demonstrate some probiotic properties of Lactiplantibacillus pentosus NRRL B-227 and impregnate the strain onto the table olive surfaces. In this respect, antioxidative ability, antibiotic resistance, and survivability after simulated digestion tests were carried out. Microencapsulation was performed using xylan and whey protein concentrate (WPC) using the water-in-oil emulsion technique to maintain cell viability. A vacuum impregnation process was performed to coat olive surfaces with L. pentosus. This strain demonstrated 71.6% DPPH radical scavenging activity and exhibited paramount resistance to antibiotics. The viable cell count of microencapsulated L. pentosus was found as 8 log CFU/g after 72 weeks of storage. After exposure to the simulated oral phase, 1-log reduction was detected, and gastric phase conditions led to a 3-log reduction of viability of microencapsulated as well as non-microencapsulated cells. The viability of microencapsulated L. pentosus on the surface of olives was also evaluated for one-month, and viable cell count was ≥6 log CFU/g. In the light of these findings, L. pentosus with antibiotic and digestion fluids resistant and antioxidant properties were successfully microencapsulated within xylan-WPC complex. Table olives can be considered as a suitable carrier for beneficial microorganisms that satisfies with the expectations of regulations for functional foods.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 14Identification and Bioactivity of Native Strains of Bacillus Thuringiensis From Grain-Related Habitats in Turkey(Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Apaydın, Özgür; Çınar, Çelenk; Turanlı, Ferit; Harsa, Hayriye Şebnem; Güneş, HaticeA native collection of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strains originated from grain-related habitats in Turkey was characterized according to serotype, cry1 gene content, and bioactivity against Ephestia kuehniella (Lepidoptera: Phycitidae) and Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Twenty-three different serotypes as well as 24 unknown serotypes were obtained from 56 positively agglutinated strains with previously characterized antisera. Most common serovars were sotto, kim, and tochigiensis with the percentages of 14, 14, and 13, respectively. Among the cry1 gene-positive 36 strains, cry1E (100%), cry1Aa (94%), cry1Ac (92%), and cry1D (83%) genes were the most abundant. Bioactivity tests with 56 Bt strains carrying cry1, cry2, and/or cry9 genes indicated that all of them resulted in growth retardation or inhibition of larvae of both E. kuehniella and S. littoralis; however, only one strain, 85PPb (serovar morrisoni), caused high mortality in both insects (84% and 100%, respectively). Different crystal morphology was observed for the strain 85PPb and the standard strain B. thuringiensis subsp. morrisoni. Finally, no correlation was found among serotype, cry gene content and biotoxicity of Bt strains in the collection.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 32Separation of Whey Components by Using Ceramic Composite Membranes(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Erdem, İlker; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; Harsa, Hayriye ŞebnemCeramic supports were prepared from alumina powder and dip-coated with zirconia sol. The ceramic composite membranes prepared were characterized with respect to their microstructure/pore structures. The supports were 40% porous of which 87% were open pores. The average particle size of the sol particles was 35 nm. The prepared membrane has good protein lactose separation properties with a relatively high protein content (PR ∼80%) and with relatively low lactose retention (LR ∼7%). The permeate flux value was around 40 l/m2h. These results indicate the possibility of the preparation of ceramic composite membranes for separation of whey components with higher yields.
