The main objective of this study was to optimize the processing conditions of breads baked in halogen lamp-microwave combination oven by using response surface methodology. It was also aimed to construct neural network models for the prediction of quality parameters of bread as a function of processing conditions. Different baking time and power combinations were used in order to find the optimum baking conditions of bread in halogen lamp-microwave combination oven. The independent variables were the baking time (4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, and 6 min), power of upper and lower halogen lamps (40, 50, 60, 70, and 80%), and power of the microwave (20, 30, 40, 50, and 60%). As control, breads baked in conventional oven at 200ðC for 13 min were used. The measured quality parameters were the weight loss, color change, specific volume, porosity, and texture profile of the breads. Baking time, upper halogen lamp power, and microwave power were found to be significant on affecting most of the quality parameters. On the other hand, lower halogen lamp power was found to be an insignificant factor for all of the responses. For the optimization process, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used. The optimum baking conditions were determined as 5 min of baking time at 70% upper halogen lamp power, 50% lower halogen lamp power, and 20% microwave power. Breads baked at the optimum condition had comparable quality with conventionally baked ones. When halogen lamp-microwave combination oven was used, conventional baking time of breads was reduced by 60%. Artificial neural network models were developed for each of the quality parameters in order to observe the effects of the baking time and different oven conditions on the quality of the breads. High regression coefficients were calculated between the experimental data and predicted values showing that this method is capable in predicting quality

Optimization of Processing Conditions During Halogen Lamp-Microwave Baking of Cakes Sevimli, Kadriye Melike; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2004) The main objective of this study was to optimize processing conditions during halogen lamp-microwave combination baking of cake by using Response Surface Methodology. It was also aimed to compare quality of products baked in microwave-halogen lamp combination oven, halogen lamp oven, microwave oven and conventional oven. In the first part of the study, as independent variables, baking time for conventional oven; microwave power and baking time for microwave oven; halogen lamp power and baking time for halog...
Optimization of microwave frying of potato slices Öztop, Mecit Halil; Şahin, Serpil; Department of Food Engineering (2005) The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of microwave frying process on the quality of potato slices and to optimize the process by using different statistical optimization techniques. Use of microwave frying for food products may be considered as a new way of improving the quality of the fried foods. In the first part of the study, the effects of microwaves on quality of fried potatoes (moisture content, oil content, color and hardness) were studied and the process was optimized by using...
Optimization of roasting conditions of hazelnuts in microwave assisted ovens Uysal, Nalan; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2009) The main objective of this study was to optimize the roasting conditions of hazelnuts in microwave-infrared and microwave-convective heating combination ovens by using response surface methodology. It was also aimed to construct regression models for the prediction of quality parameters of hazelnuts as a function of processing conditions. The independent variables were microwave power (10, 30, 50, 70 and 90%), upper-lower infrared power (10, 30, 50, 70 and 90%) and roasting time (2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 min) for m...
Investigation of quality and staling of breads with different gum formulations baked in different ovens Özkoç, Semin Özge; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2008) The objective of this study was to determine the effects of different gums and their combination on quality and staling of breads baked in different ovens. In the first part of the study, the effects of gums (xanthan, guar, k-carrageenan, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, locust bean gum and their blends) on quality of breads baked in infrared-microwave combination and conventional ovens were investigated. In addition, macro and micro-structure, dielectric and thermal properties and acrylamide content of bread...
Investigation of physical properties of different cake formulations during baking with microwave and infrared-microwave combination Şakıyan Demirkol, Özge; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2007) The main objective was to determine the variation of physical properties of different cake formulations during baking in microwave and infrared-microwave combination ovens. In the first part of the study, rheological and dielectric properties of cake batter with different formulations were determined. Different concentrations of fat and different types of emulsifier and fat replacer were used. The variation of formulation had a significant effect on the apparent viscosity of the cake batter. Cake batter was...
