Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 6Development of a Nano-Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode for the Determination of 2,6-Diaminotoluene (tda)(Elsevier, 2021) Büyüktaş, Duygu; Ghaani, Masoud; Rovera, Cesare; Olsson, Richard T.; Korel, Figen; Farris, StefanoThe objective of this study was to improve the overall performance of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for the detection of 2,6-diaminotoluene (TDA), a possibly carcinogenic primary aromatic amines (PAAs) that poses a serious risk for the consumer' health because they can transfer from multilayer food packages including adhesives based on aromatic polyurethane (PU) systems, to the food. The modification of the electrode surface was made by means of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and mesopomus carbon nanoparticles (MCNs). The MWCNTs-MCNs/GCE allowed achieving the best performance in terms of sensitivity, as revealed by cyclic voltammetry - CV, with an oxidation peak of 20.95 mu A over 0.079 mu A of the bare GCE. The pH of the medium influenced the oxidation of 2,6-TDA, with highest sensitivity at pH similar to 7. Amperometry experiments led to an estimated detection limit of 0.129 mu M, and three linear ranges were obtained for 2,6-TDA: 0.53-11.37 mu M, 11.37-229.36 mu M, and 229.36-2326.60 mu M. Chronoamperometry experiments combined with Cottrell's theory allowed estimating a diffusion coefficient of 2,6-TDA of 1.34 x 10(-4) cm(2) s(-1). The number of electrons (n similar to 1) involved in the catalytic oxidation of 2,6-TDA was determined according to the Lavimn's theory. Real sample tests demonstrated that the modification of the sensor using nanoparticls allowed to obtain a highly sensitive and selective sensor, which can possibly used as an alternative analytical device for the rapid, easy, and reliable determination of 2,6-TDA.Master Thesis Effects of Yeast Species on Quality Characteristics of Fermented Turkish Sausages(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2012) Büyüktaş, Duygu; Korel, FigenIn this study, the effects of yeast species in combination with starter cultures on the chemical, physical, microbiological, organoleptic and aroma characteristics of fermented Turkish sausages (sucuk) during processing and storage were investigated. Debaryomyces hansenii and Yarrowia lipolytica were used as yeast species. During processing a decrease in moisture content and water activity and an increase in protein and fat contents were determined. The pH values of sausage samples decreased while titratable acidity values increased during ripening. Thiobarbituric acid values of samples having Y.lipolytica in combination with starter cultures increased during ripening and decreased during storage. Non-protein nitrogen contents of sausage samples showed an increase during processing while protein solubility of all samples decreased during ripening and storage. Moreover, addition of yeast species did not show any difference in protein solubility. According to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis profiles, sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins were not affected by the addition of yeast species. Addition of yeast species did not have any important effect on the color of sausage samples during fermentation and ripening. Total aerobic mesophilic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria counts increased, but Enterobacteriaceae and yeast counts decreased in all samples. Moreover, micrococci/staphylococci counts decreased in all samples. It was determined that an important part of the volatile fraction in all sausage samples is composed of terpenes. Samples having Y.lipolytica in combination with starter cultures had the lowest lipid oxidation derived volatile compounds. According to the sensory analysis, samples having yeast species had the highest overall acceptability scores.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 9A Screen-Printed Electrode Modified With Gold Nanoparticles/ Cellulose Nanocrystals for Electrochemical Detection of 4,4'-methylene Diphenyl Diamine(Elsevier, 2023) Büyüktaş, Duygu; Ghaani, Masoud; Rovera, Cesare; Carullo, Daniele; Olsson, Richard T.; Korel, Figen; Farris, StefanoDeveloping simple, cost-effective, easy-to-use, and reliable analytical devices if of utmost importance for the food industry for rapid in-line checks of their products that must comply with the provisions set by the current legislation. The purpose of this study was to develop a new electrochemical sensor for the food packaging sector. More specifically, we propose a screen -printed electrode (SPE) modified with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for the quantification of 4,4'-methylene diphenyl diamine (MDA), which is one of the most important PAAs that can transfer from food packaging materials into food stuffs. The electrochemical performance of the proposed sensor (AuNPs/CNCs/SPE) in the presence of 4,4'- MDA was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry (CV). The modified AuNPs/CNCs/SPE showed the highest sensitivity for 4,4'-MDA detection, with a peak current of 9.81 mu A compared with 7.08 mu A for the bare SPE. The highest sensitivity for 4,4'-MDA oxidation was observed at pH = 7, whereas the detection limit was found at 57 nM and the current response of 4,4'-MDA rose linearly as its concentration increased from 0.12 mu M to 100 mu M. Experiments using real packaging materials revealed that employing nanoparticles dramatically improved both the sensitivity and the selectivity of the sensor, which can be thus considered as a new analytical tool for quick, simple, and accurate measurement of 4,4 '-MDA during converting operations.Article UV-Shielding Biopolymer Coatings Loaded With Bioactive Compounds for Food Packaging Applications(MDPI, 2025) Gennaro, Matteo; Buyuktas, Duygu; Carullo, Daniele; Pinto, Andrea; Dallavalle, Sabrina; Farris, StefanoFour natural bioactive compounds with UV-absorbing properties-curcumin, quercetin, caffeic acid, and hymecromone-were incorporated into pectin-based coatings deposited on oriented polypropylene (OPP) to develop packaging films with UV-shielding capabilities. The effects of both bioactive compounds (used individually or in combination) and coating thickness (delta = 0.12-1.2 mu m) on the optical properties (UV-Vis transmittance and haze) of the coated OPP samples were investigated. Coating deposition enhanced the UV-barrier properties in relation to the type of bioactive compound, following the order of caffeic acid > hymecromone > curcumin > quercetin. Regardless of the type of bioactive compound used, no significant changes were observed in clarity, haze, and tensile parameters of OPP, whereas the pectin coatings dramatically improved the oxygen barrier performance of the plastic substrate. Additionally, a greater coating thickness resulted in a lower UV-light transmittance of coated PP films. Although the combination of hymecromone and caffeic acid did not exhibit a synergistic effect, it demonstrated an additive benefit, effectively broadening the wavelength range of UV protection in the final packaging materials. While this study highlights that a performance gap remains compared to commercially available UV-shielding materials, it underscores the potential of replacing synthetic UV-absorbing additives with natural compounds through coating technologies rather than masterbatch incorporation.Review Citation - WoS: 41Citation - Scopus: 43Electrochemical Sensors in the Food Sector: a Review(American Chemical Society, 2024) Ghaani, Masoud; Azimzadeh, Mostafa; Büyüktaş, Duygu; Carullo, Daniele; Farris, StefanoIn a world that is becoming increasingly concerned with health, safety, and the sustainability of food supply chains, the control and assurance of food quality have become of utmost importance. This review examines the application and potential of electrochemical sensors in the dynamic field of food science to meet these expanding demands. The article introduces electrochemical sensors and describes their operational mechanics and the components contributing to their function. A summary of the most prevalent electrochemical methods outlines the diverse food analysis techniques available. The review shifts to discussing the food science applications of these sensors, highlighting their crucial role in detecting compounds in food samples like meat, fish, juice, and milk for contemporary quality control. This paper showcases electrochemical sensors' utility in food analysis, underscoring their significance as powerful, efficient tools for maintaining food safety and how they could transform our approach to global food quality control and assurance.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 8Development of a New Electrochemical Sensor Based on Molecularly Imprinted Biopolymer for Determination of 4,4'-methylene Diphenyl Diamine(MDPI, 2023) Ghaani, Masoud; Büyüktaş, Duygu; Carullo, Daniele; Farris, StefanoA new molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor was proposed to determine 4,4' methylene diphenyl diamine (MDA) using molecularly imprinted polymer-multiwalled carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon electrode (MIP/MWCNTs/GCE). GCE was coated by MWCNTs (MWCNTs/GCE) because of their antifouling qualities and in order to improve the sensor sensitivity. To make the whole sensor, a polymeric film made up of chitosan nanoparticles was electrodeposited by the cyclic voltammetry method on the surface of MWCNTs/GCE in the presence of MDA as a template. Different parameters such as scan cycles, elution time, incubation time, molar ratio of template molecules to functional monomers, and pH were optimized to increase the performance of the MIP sensor. With a detection limit of 15 nM, a linear response to MDA was seen in the concentration range of 0.5-100 mu M. The imprinting factor (IF) of the proposed sensor was also calculated at around 3.66, demonstrating the extremely high recognition performance of a MIP/MWCNT-modified electrode. Moreover, the sensor exhibited good reproducibility and selectivity. Finally, the proposed sensor was efficiently used to determine MDA in real samples with satisfactory recoveries ranging from 94.10% to 106.76%.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Acid-Derived Bacterial Cellulose Nanocrystals as Organic Filler for the Generation of High-Oxygen Barrier Bio-Nanocomposite Coatings(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2023) Carullo, Daniele; Rovera, Cesare; Bellesia, Tommaso; Büyüktaş, Duygu; Ghaani, Masoud; Santo, Nadia; Farris, StefanoMacro-sized bacterial cellulose (BC) derived from Komagataeibacter sucrofermentans was down-sized into nanocrystals (BCNCs) through hydrochloric acid (H-BCNCs) and sulfuric acid (S-BCNCs) hydrolysis. Initially, aqueous dispersions of BCNCs were analyzed for stability, size/morphology, and optical/mechanical properties. Subsequently, BCNCs were incorporated into a main biopolymer phase (i.e., pullulan) to create bio-nanocomposite coatings with high-oxygen barrier performance. Upon treatment with sulfuric acid, nano-sized particles (approximate to 240 nm) were observed, contrasting with significantly larger sizes (approximate to 1.8 mu m) seen for particles obtained using hydrochloric acid. Microscopy analyses revealed a needle-like morphology of the nanocrystals, which appeared organized in stacks for H-BCNCs or as individual units for S-BCNCs. Pullulan/BCNCs coatings applied to polyethylene-terephthalate (PET) films improved the gas barrier performance of the original substrate, by dramatically reducing the oxygen transmission rate (OTR) values from approximate to 120 cm3 m-2 24 h-1 to approximate to 2 cm3 m-2 24 h-1 while preserving its original optical and mechanical properties. Our developed bionanocomposite-coated PET films hold potential as an alternative material for various food packaging applications. This study investigates the effect of the hydrolysis process on bacterial cellulose (BC) to obtain bacterial cellulose nanocrystals (BCNCs) used to create high oxygen barrier nanocomposite coatings for food packaging applications.Doctoral Thesis Development of Sensor Systems for Food Quality Monitoring(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) Büyüktaş, Duygu; Farris, Stefano; Korel, FigenThe main objective of this thesis is to fabricate electrochemical sensors for the detection of 2,4-diaminotoluene (2,4 TDA), 2,6-diaminotoluene (2,6 TDA), and 4,4´-methylene diphenyl diamine (MDA), possibly carcinogenic primary aromatic amines (PAAs) that poses a serious health risk because they can transfer from multilayer food packages including adhesives based on aromatic polyurethane (PU) systems, to the food. The thesis is based on the following three chapters: (1) Development of a nano-modified glassy carbon electrode for the determination of 2,6-diaminotoluene (2) A screen-printed electrode modified with gold nanoparticles/cellulose nanocrystals for electrochemical detection of 4,4´-methylene diphenyl diamine (3) Development of a nano-modified screen-printed electrode for the determination of 2,4-diaminotoluene. In this work, full electrochemical characterization of the nano-modified electrodes was carried out, and the electrochemical properties were described. Migration tests were also conducted to modified sensors in order to investigate their potential application in real food systems. The results of this work clearly showed that modified electrochemical sensors allow reliable quantification of the most important primary aromatic amines migrating from packaging materials to food and can be used as an alternative to the commonly used conventional analytical techniques for the detection of these toxic compounds.Article Citation - WoS: 39Citation - Scopus: 41Novel Edible Films of Pectins Extracted From Low-Grade Fruits and Stalk Wastes of Sun-Dried Figs: Effects of Pectin Composition and Molecular Properties on Film Characteristics(Elsevier, 2023) Çavdaroğlu, Elif; Büyüktaş, Duygu; Farris, Stefano; Yemenicioğlu, AhmetThis study aimed to explore the characteristics of novel fig pectin films. For this purpose, films of crude fig pectin (CFP) extracted from low-grade sun-dried fruits and films of crude (CSP) and purified (PSP) stalk pectins extracted from stalk waste of processed high-quality sun-dried figs were evaluated for their physicochemical properties. The properties of pristine (CFP, CSP, and PSP films) and CaCl2 cross-linked films (CFP–Ca++, CSP-Ca++and PSP-Ca++ films) of fig pectins were also compared with films of commercial citrus (CP and CP-Ca++) and apple (AP, AP-Ca++) pectins. The cross-linking improved the mechanical strength and barrier properties of most films. CP, CP-Ca++, PSP, and PSP-Ca++ films showed greater mechanical strength and stiffness than other films. PSP-Ca++, PSP and CP-Ca++ films showed the lowest water vapor permeability (6.28, 12.85, 14.96 g.mm.m−2.day−1.kPa−1, respectively) while CSP-Ca++, CP-Ca++, CP, PSP-Ca++ films showed the lowest oxygen permeability coefficients (5403, 8265, 10776, 11124 mL.μm.m−2.24h−1.atm−1, respectively). All cross-linked fig pectin films showed 2–3 fold lower degree of swelling than CP-Ca++ film. The CFP-Ca++ film showed the highest surface hydrophobicity (contact angle = 101.8°) but the lowest water solubility (32.8%) and degree of swelling. Analysis of Pearson's correlations between pectin properties and film characteristics revealed that galacturonic acid (GA) content affects the mechanical properties, while GA content, degree of esterification (DE), and acetylation affect the moisture barrier performance; finally, GA content and DE affect the oxygen barrier performance of pectin films. Films of stalk waste pectins showed some properties beyond the limits of those obtained from commercial pectins.
