This study intends to examine the changes in the structural relations between the actors of fresh fruit and vegetable distribution process within a time scope of thirty years perspective. In summary the following questions were tried to be answered: - Who are the actors active in the fresh fruit and vegetable distribution process? - How these actors transformed within a time scope of thirty years and how they were effected from the changes in overall economic developments and government policies? - What potentials do these actors have for the future and what are the key areas of development to sustain a winning environment for all parties involved: for producers, distributors and consumers?

Effects of different batter formulations on quality of deep-fat fried carrot slices Akdeniz, Neslihan; Şahin, Serpil; Department of Food Engineering (2004) The main objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of starch and gum types on product quality of deep-fat fried carrot slices. It was also aimed to evaluate the applicability of image processing for determination of oil uptake. In the first part of the study, carrot slices were dipped into batters containing three different concentrations of dextrin or pre-gelatinized tapioca starch and fried for 2, 3, and 4 minutes at 170±2 oC. Coating pick-up of batter formulations and moisture content, oil conte...
Collagen scaffolds with in situ grown calcium phosphate for osteogenic differentiation of wharton’s jelly and menstrual blood stem cells Karadaş, Özge; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Köse, Gamze Torun; Department of Biotechnology (2011) The importance of developing new techniques for the treatment of bone and joint diseases is increasing continuosly together with the increase of human population and the average life span. Especially bone fractures as a result of osteoporosis are often seen in humans older than 50 years old. The expenses of bone and joint disease operations are very high and the duration of recovery is long. Because of these reasons World Health Organization, The United Nations and 37 countries announced that the years 2000...
Barriers and opportunities for integrating sustainable product design into Ankara small and medium-sized furniture enterprises Okursoy, Mehmet Erçin; Pedgley, Owaın Francıs; Department of Industrial Design (2012) The increasing impact of mass production and consumption behaviours have made sustainable product design an important issue in design literature in the last two decades. Studies in the early period focussed on research projects carried out in collaboration with multinational large-sized enterprises, owing to pressures from non-governmental organizations. However, recent studies about sustainable development have pointed out that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) rather than multinationals have a gre...
Mathematical analysis of peeling of carrots Aydın, Özlem; Adalı, Orhan; Department of Food Engineering (2005) In this study, carrots of Beypazarı variety, cultivated during 2004 season were chemically and steam peeled. Effects of temperature, concentration of NaOH solutions and immersion time on lye peeling of carrots were studied; optimum time-temperature-concentration relations were analyzed mathematically. Then suitable combinations of concentration, temperature and time were determined just by considering degree of peeling. Increases in both temperature and concentration of lye solution led to a decrease in pee...
Dynamic analysis of employment and domestic value added generated by foreign demand in Turkey Mıhçı, Sevinç; Akkoyunlu Wigley, Arzu; Dalgıç, Başak (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2016-4) The aim of this paper is to analyze the change in the employment generation potential of exports at the sectoral level for recent years by using the input-output methodology. Indirect and direct "wage-share" of one unit of exports are estimated by using the input-output table of 2002 and the sectoral Trade in Value Added (TiVA) statistics. Our estimation results show that the average wage content of one unit of exported product, which is used as a proxy for the employment generated by exports, decrease...
