The enzyme, β-galactosidase (E.C.3.2.1.23) has been used for dairy industry for removing lactose from milk and milk by-products. In this study, three strains namely L. plantarum NCIMB 1193, L. plantarum DSM 20246 and L. plantarum E081 were used for β-galactosidase release by sonication method. The peak of the total enzyme activity was found to be corresponding to late logarithmic or early stationary phase of all strains. As a disruption method sonication was used for the release of β-galactosidase. Meanwhile, the sonication time was optimized for each strain. The peak of the enzyme activity was observed between 210 seconds and 270 seconds of sonication period. It was also found that sonication did not decrease the viability of L.plantarum NCIMB 1193 significantly. Liquid nitrogen cell disruption method was also used to compare the results with those obtained by sonication method. For characterization β-galactosidase, cell-free crude extract of sonicated cell culture of L.plantanrum NCIMB 1193 was used. Optimum pH found as 7.2, and optimum temperature range was found between between 350 C to 400 C. Km and Vmax values were found as 3.47 mM and 1.721 (æmol / min per mg protein) respectively from Lineweaver-Burk plot. Km and Vmax values were found as 4.064 mM and 1.863 (æmol / min per mg cell-free crude extract) respectively from Eadie-Hofstee plot. The number of ligand binding sites (napp) on a molecule of β-galactosidase was found as 1.03 which indicates that the number of ligand binding sites on the enzyme is one.

Molecular identification and typing of lactobacillus delbrueckii subspecies bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus Cebeci Aydın, Aysun; Gültekin, Güzin Candan; Department of Biochemistry (2008) Lactic acid bacteria are associated with preservation of foods, including milk, meat and vegetables. Yoghurt is produced by the cooperative action of two starter bacteria; S. thermophilus and L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus. In this study, identification and typing of yoghurt starter bacteria were aimed. Traditional home made yoghurts were collected from different areas of Turkey, identification of those isolates at species and subspecies level and typing at strain level were achieved using PCR based metho...
Behaviour and control of listeria innocua during manufacture and storage of Turkish white cheese Öztürkoğlu, Şebnem; Gürakan, Candan; Department of Food Engineering (2004) Growth and survival of L. innocua and TAC in artificially inoculated Turkish White Cheese during manufacturing and storage periods, with respect to different level of contamination of L. innocua were investigated. Cheese products were manufactured by the short-set procedure in pilot-plant-sized vats, as in AOÇ dairy factory. Pasteurized cow̕s milk was inoculated with L. innocua for obtaining the initial loads of 3.84 and 7.12 log CFU/ml. Bacterial load of inoculated milk, whey, post-ripened curd and post-sa...
Chemical and rheological properties of yoghurt produced by lactic acid cultures isolated from traditional Turkish yoghurt Dinçel, Sezen; Gültekin, Güzin Candan; Mert, Behiç; Department of Food Engineering (2012) Yoghurt is a fermented milk product which is produced by Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii spp. bulgaricus. The production of yoghurt has started in Middle East and spread all over the world. The aim of this study is to select the culture combination which is appropriate to Turkish taste and have the best yoghurt characteristics by means of post-acidification and whey separation properties, texture of gel formation, exopolysaccharide and acetaldehyde content; and to observe the effect...
What are the factors affecting the consumers' milk choices? Gülseven, Osman (Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 2017-01-01) There is an increasing interest in specialty milk products such as soymilk, cholesterol free/lactose free (CFLF) milk and organic milk. While the market shares of these milk types are still small, specialty milk consumption is one of the fastest growing consumer segments in the dairy industry. Therefore, it is of interest to producers, consumers as well as the policy-makers to identify the consumer profile of these products and to determine policies based on the consumer choices. In the article, there are u...
Identification of serotype specific dna marker for salmonella typhimurium by rapd-pcr method Aksoy, Ceren; Gültekin, Güzin Candan; Department of Biotechnology (2004) This study was performed for the identification of specific DNA marker using RAPD-PCR (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) method for serotype Salmonella Typhimurium which is one of the most prevalent serotype causing food poisining all over the world. The Primer 3 (RAPD 9.1), 5̕-CGT GCA CGC-3ء, was used in RAPD-PCR with 35 different Salmonella isolates. 12 of them were serotype Salmonella Typhimurium and 23 of them were belonging to other six different serotypes. Accordingly, two different 300 bp and 700 bp ...
