© 2022 by the authors.The TD-NMR technique mostly involves the use of T1 (spin-lattice) and T2 (spin-spin) relaxation times to explain the changes occurring in food systems. However, these relaxation times are affected by many factors and might not always be the best indicators to work with in food-related TD-NMR studies. In this study, the non-conventional TD-NMR approaches of Solid Echo (SE)/Magic Sandwich Echo (MSE) and Spin Diffusion in food systems were used for the first time. Soft confectionary gelatin gels were formulated and conventional (T1) and non-conventional (SE, MSE and Spin Diffusion) TD-NMR experiments were performed. Corn syrups with different glucose/fructose compositions were used to prepare the soft candies. Hardness, °Brix (°Bx), and water activity (aw) measurements were also conducted complementary to NMR experiments. Relaxation times changed (p < 0.05) with respect to syrup type with no obvious trend. SE/MSE experiments were performed to calculate the crystallinity of the samples. Samples prepared with fructose had the lowest crystallinity values (p < 0.05). Spin Diffusion experiments were performed by using Goldman–Shen pulse sequence and the interface thickness (d) was calculated. Interface thickness values showed a wide range of variation (p < 0.05). Results showed that non-conventional NMR approaches had high potential to be utilized in food systems for quality control purposes.

TD-NMR technique mostly involves the use of T1 (spin-lattice) and T2 (spin-spin) relaxation times to explain the changes occurring in food systems. However, these relaxation times are affected from many factors and might not always be the best indicators to work with in food related TD-NMR studies. In this thesis, to our knowledge, the non-conventional TD-NMR approaches of Solid Echo/Magic Sandwich Echo and Spin Diffusion in food systems were used for the 1st time. As the system of interest, soft conf...
Time weighted average concentration monitoring of compounds with wide range of physicochemical properties in aquatic environment using thin film solid phase microextraction
Boyacı, Ezel; Ahmadi, Fardin; Pawliszyn, Janusz (null; 2017-03-05)
This study offers an integrated approach for time weighted average (TWA) concentration determination of analytes with a wide range of physical-chemical properties. Two types of thin film solid phase microextraction (TF-SPME) passive sampler, namely a retracted TF-SPME device using a hydrophilic lipophilic balance (HLB) sorbent and an open bed configuration TF-SPME device with octadecyl silica-based (C18) sorbent were developed and used for monitoring TWA concentrations of selected UV blockers and biocides. ...
Rapid ionic liquid-supported nano-hybrid composite reinforced hollow-fiber electromembrane extraction followed by field-amplified sample injection-capillary electrophoresis: An effective approach for extraction and quantification of Imatinib mesylate in human plasma
Forough, Mehrdad; Farhadi, Khalil; Eyshi, Ali; Molaei, Rahim; Khalili, Hedayat; Kouzegaran, Vahid Javan; Matin, Amir Abbas (2017-09-01)
The focus of this study is development of a new, convenient, rapid and sensitive electromembrane extraction approach (based on an ionic liquid-supported MWCNTs/ZnO reinforced hollow fiber, for the first time) as an off-line sample clean-upipreconcentration method coupled with capillary electrophoresis (CE-UV) using field-amplified sample injection (FASI) for quantification of Imatinib mesylate in human plasma. The nano-hybrid sorbent, coated by 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ionic liquid (E0M1m]Br) in ...
Poly(lactic acid) based nanocomposites: mechanical, thermal and rheological properties and morphology
Açık, Eda; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Chemical Engineering (2014)
The aim of this study was to increase the potential applications of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) by incorporating reactive functionalities with different nano-scale fillers. To investigate the effects of nanoclay types, five different organically modified nanoclays (Cloisites®15A, 25A and 30B and Nanofils®5 and 8) were used. Two elastomeric compatibilizers, ethylene-glycidyl methacrylate (E-GMA) and ethylene-butyl acrylate-maleic anhydride (E-BA-MAH), were added to the nanocomposites produced via melt compoundin...
Nondestructive investigation of the effect of quenching and tempering on medium-carbon low alloy steels
Gür, Cemil Hakan (2005-01-01)
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of quenching and tempering on sound velocity of steels, and to contribute to the nondestructive control and optimisation of the quenching/tempering systems. Disk-shaped specimens were prepared from AISI/SAE 4140 and AISI/SAE 5140 steel bars. All specimens were austenised and quenched identically to eliminate the effect of grain size on sound velocity, and a constant tempering time was chosen. Microstructures of the samples were characterised by metallographi...
