L-glutamic acid salt and aspartame are commonly used taste enhancer food additives. L-glutamic acid and aspartame bind to Venus flytrap domain (VFT) of T1R1 and T1R2 respectively to form umami and sweet taste. In this research, aspartame and L-glutamic acid binding sites on human T1R1 (hT1R1) and T1R2 (hT1R2) were analyzed via docking. Both structures were downloaded from AlphaFold Database, uploaded to HADDOCK 2.4 docking server with their corresponding ligands and results were further analyzed via Verify-3D server. After docking simulation of hT1R1 and glutamate, similar binding characteristics of glutamate to Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor was obtained. Docking results of hT1R2 and aspartame resulted in identification of overall five novel residues on hT1R2 as compared to previous studies. Overall, our analysis provided novel binding sites on both the taste receptors. The results will be valuable in understanding taste receptors mechanism of action.

Functional properties of microwave-treated wheat gluten Yalcin, Erkan; Sakiyan, Ozge; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Celik, Sueda; KÖKSEL, HAMİT (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-09-01) In this study, the effects of microwave treatments on solubility, foaming and emulsifying properties of gluten were investigated. The solubility of microwave-heated gluten proteins gradually decreased as the treatment time increased, at all power levels applied. The highest solubility values were obtained for gluten samples microwave treated at 50% power level. The lowest emulsifying capacity values were obtained with the samples heated at 100% power level at all treatment times. The emulsifying stability v...
COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT ANTIOXIDANT ASSAYS FOR ESTIMATION OF ANTIOXIDANT POTENTIAL OF SELECTED FRUIT JUICE WASTE MATERIALS Gülenç, Barış Ege; Bayındırlı, Alev; Department of Food Engineering (2022-2-11) Fruit juice industry waste utilization includes several options that one of them extraction of bioactive compounds exhibiting antioxidant effect. In this study, ultrasound assisted extraction was applied to dried apple, sour cherry and grape pomaces by using ethanol, 50% aqueous ethanol and water solvents. For antioxidant capacity estimation of the extracts, DPPH•, ABTS•+, CUPRAC and FRAP assays were applied. The highest total phenolic contents were obtained for sour cherry and grape pomace 50% aqueous eth...
Investigation of the effect of sodium butyrate on the regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 in colon cancer cell lines Caco-2 and HT-29 Ülgen, Doğukan Hazar; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2015) Sodium butyrate (NaBt) is a four-carbon short-chain fatty acid histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) that is available in the colon through the commensal microbiota-mediated fermentation of dietary fibers. It is the main source of energy for colonocytes, and is regarded to have tumor suppressive effects, most prominently in colorectal cancer (CRC). Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is a gene important in the inflammatory response due to its ability to convert arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. Overexpression and ov...
Investigation of the effect of sodium butyrate induced differentiation on inflammatory pathways in colon cancer cells Küçükdemir, Mümine; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2012) Sodium butyrate (NaBt) is a four-carbon short chain fatty acid, produced naturally in colon as the end product of the bacterial anaerobic metabolism on dietary fibers. It was previously shown that NaBt can induce differentiation and may inhibit proliferation. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of NaBt-induced differentation on inflammatory pathways in HT29 colon cancer cells. For this purpose, first, cells were treated with varying concentrations of NaBt from 1-5 mM and amount require...
Production of lactic acid by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of horse chestnut shell by using lactobacillus casei Çetin, Zeynep Başak; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Hamamcı, Haluk; Department of Food Engineering (2022-8-01) Lactic acid is a multifunctional organic acid used as an acidifier, flavoring, or preservative in textile, food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Bacterial fermentation is the most preferred method for lactic acid production, but the often-used refined sugar increases the cost of production. For this reason, a new environmentally friendly, sustainable, and low-cost carbon source is being researched. The seeds of horse chestnut are mostly used in the pharmaceutical industry for antioxidant production...
