Activities of essential oils, such as antimicrobial, antioxidant and anticancer have been recognized for decades. To utilize the functionality of these materials in foods as natural additives instead of synthetic active materials, oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsions that are obtained by low and high-energy methods have been intensively explored in recent years. The purpose of this study was to formulate stable cinnamon oil nanoemulsions (NEs) having higher antimicrobial activity by using the low-energy approach: spontaneous emulsification (SE) method. To prepare the nanoemulsions, oil phase containing cinnamon oil (CO) and the carrier oil (coconut oil (CNO)) at various concentrations and surfactant (Tween 80) was titrated into an aqueous phase (distilled water) that was being stirred continuously. For antimicrobial activity, agar disc diffusion method with E.coli as the model microorganism was used. NEs were characterized by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) techniques. Both DLS and TEM gave parallel results and mean particle size of the most stable NEs were found as ~100 nm for 6:4 (CO: CNO) oil phase composition. Effect of SE on antimicrobial activity was compared with cinnamon oil solutions that included same concentrations of CO and results showed that antimicrobial activity increased 10-25% on the NEs prepared by spontaneous emulsification. NEs were also prepared by using two high energy homogenization methods: microfluidization and ultrasonication. When spontaneous emulsification, microfluidization and ultrasonication were compared at same CO%, at higher CO concentrations (6%, 8% and 10%), results were not significantly different for particle sizes. Moreover, for all CO concentrations, antimicrobial activity could not be enhanced by microfluidization towards E. coli. However, at higher CO concentrations (8% and 10%), enhanced antimicrobial activity were obtained by spontaneous emulsification and ultrasonication methods, and these results were not found to be significantly different (p>0.05). This study revealed that CNO could successfully be utilized as a carrier oil for preparing nanoemulsions and stable cinnamon oil nanoemulsions could be prepared at lower surfactant concentrations by the spontaneous emulsification method.

Design and characterization of capsaicin loaded nanoemulsions
Akbaş, Elif; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Söyler, Ulviye Betül; Department of Food Engineering (2016)
In recent years, nanoemulsion based systems have been successfully used in food, medical and pharmaceutical applications as effective lipophilic carrier systems for nutraceuticals, drugs, antioxidants and antimicrobial agents. The primary active ingredient of chili pepper, capsaicin is a hydrophobic substance and was proved to be a compound showing good antimicrobial activity against various microorganisms. The aim of the proposed study was to prepare and characterize capsaicin loaded nanoemulsion systems. ...
DEVELOPMENT OF 3D PRINTED PECTIN AND GELATIN BASED BIOACTIVE SKIN GRAFTS
Bostancı, Nazlı Seray; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Biotechnology (2021-8-10)
The aim of this study was to develop an easily applicable and bioactive skin graft composed of methacrylated pectin (PeMA) and methacrylated gelatin (GelMA), containing curcumin and/or Vitamin-C as antimicrobial and healing accelerating agents, respectively. Grafts were prepared in slab, 3D printed and 3D bioprinted forms and different properties were evaluated. Preparation parameters were optimized using slabs having different compositions (PeMA:GelMA as P:G 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3, v/v). P1:G1 solution did not h...
Antioxidant properties of Prangos ferulacea (L.) Lindl., Chaerophyllum macropodum Boiss. and Heracleum persicum Desf. from Apiaceae family used as food in Eastern Anatolia and their inhibitory effects on glutathione-S-transferase
Çoruh, Nursen; Ozgokce, F. (2007-01-01)
Therapeutic effects of several medicinal plants and vegetables, which are commonly used as food and in folk medicine against many disease, are well known. Antioxidant capacities of Heracleum persicum Desf., Prangos ferulacea (L.) Lindl., Chaerophyllum macropodum Boiss. species from Apiaceae family were evaluated by determining their effects on DPPH radical scavenging, and lipid peroxidation inhibition, as well as their total phenolic contents. Potential natural glutathione-S-transferase inhibitors have gain...
Characterization and Evaluation of Triamcinolone, Raloxifene, and Their Dual-Loaded Microspheres as Prospective Local Treatment System in Rheumatic Rat Joints
Ocal, Yigit; Kurum, Baris; Karahan, Siyami; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Ozen, Seza; Keskin, Dilek (Elsevier BV, 2014-8)
In this study, injectable microspheres were developed for the local treatment of joint degeneration in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Microspheres loaded with triamcinolone (TA), a corticosteroid drug, and/or raloxifene (Ral), a cartilage regenerative drug, were prepared with a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer, polycaprolactone (PCL). Microspheres were optimized for particle size, structural properties, drug release, and loading properties. In vitro release of Ral was very slow because of the low solubil...
Determination of phenolic compound profiles and antioxidant effect of black elderberry, echinacea and iceland moss extracts on late-release soft lozenge
Yıldız, Özge; Bayındırlı, Alev; Çapanoğlu Güven, Esra; Department of Food Engineering (2021-6)
Medicinal plants contain different bioactive compounds that have immune system stimulant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anticancer and wound healing effects. Echinacea purpurea L., Sambucus nigra L. and Cetraria islandica L. are known with their high antioxidant content and health promoting properties. The main objective of the study was to determine the total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and antioxidant capacity of each plant extract with water and 75 % ethanol as so...
