In this study, the Phthalate Esters, which are specifically Dimethyl Phthalate (DMP), Diethyl Phthalate (DEP), Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Butylbenzyl Phthalate (BBP), Diethlyhexzyl Phthalate (DEHP), and Dioctylphthalate (DOP), were evaluated in the 5 different pasteurized milk samples and their packages that were chosen from the Turkish market. As validated extraction methodology Ultrasound Assisted Dispersive Liquid Liquid Micro Extraction (UA-DLLME) and Ultrasonic Bath Extraction (UBE) were used for the milk samples and packages, respectively. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS) was used as the analytical instrumentation. Extraction efficiencies of the UA-DLLME were in between 66-100% while the ones that belong to UBE were in between 115-127%. For both the pasteurized milk samples and their packages, DBP and DEHP were found as the most common phthalate esters in each of five milk and package samples. DBP values that are obtained after the analysis of milk samples were between 3.08-5.03 ng/g while DEHP values were in between 0.41-4.00 ng/g. Concentration of DBP in milk packages were in between 1.05-2.03 ng/g while concentration of DEHP values were in between 30.0-62.6 ng/cm2. Concentration of DOP was found as the lowest concentrated phthalate ester in milk packages. It is only found in Milk Package Sample E as 2.42 ng/g while no DOP was found in milk samples. In addition, the results of this study and the found values of the phthalate levels were compared with the other studies performed in other countries.

Determination of Phthalates in Milk by Ultrasound-Assisted Dispersive Liquid-Liquid Microextraction and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2016-01-01) Ultrasound-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction was coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for the determination of phthalate esters in milk. Dimethyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, benzyl butyl phthalate, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, and dioctyl phthalate were analyzed in five brands of pasteurized Turkish milk. The efficiencies of the extraction procedure for the analytes were between 66 and 100%. The linear dynamic ranges of the calibration curves were from 0.025...
Evaluation of symbiotic effectiveness of various Rhizobium cicer strains İçgen, Bülent; Özcengiz, Gülay (Elsevier BV, 2002-07-01) Five local and seven standard strains of Rhizobium cicer were compared in terms of their efficiency in increasing the nitrogen content of the chickpea. Shoot dry weight, nodule number, nodule dry weight, protein and total nitrogen contents were taken as the parameters of plant productivity. Different combinations of the strains that were found to be promising (385, 620, Y-29 and 3379) were next employed. The maximum increase in total nitrogen content was only 3.5-fold in single infection whereas an increase...
Evaluation of adsorbents with passive sampling and their analytical methods to determine volatile organic compunds emitted from vehicular exhaust Civan, Mihriban; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal (2012-09-01) In order to accurate and precise determination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from vehicular emissions were developed method including a) adsorption of VOCs on different adsorbents followed by thermal desorption and gas chromatography (GC) with flame ionization detector (FID) quantification, b) validation of the sampling and analytical method. The adsorption efficiency of Tenax and Chromosorb 106 adsorbents were eveluated for 104 VOCs to select of adequate sorbent for passive sampling. Since most of t...

Optimising clarification of carrot juice by bacterial crude pectinase Uzuner, Sibel; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz (2015-12-01) This study was undertaken to search for potential use of crude bacterial pectinase enzyme produced from Bacillus subtilis grown on hazelnut shell hydrolysate in clarification of carrot juice and to optimize the enzyme load, pH and time using the Box-Behnken response surface methodology (RSM). The carrot juice was treated with the crude pectinase enzyme (5.60 U mL(-1)) at different concentrations (0.1-0.5%), pH (4-7), and time (2-6 h). The obtained enzyme was also compared with commercial fungal pectinase at...
