Encapsulation provides a protective barrier to some vulnerable food ingredients such as phenolic and antioxidant compounds against some external factors. Moreover, by the help of encapsulation the unwanted odor or taste of core the materials are masked. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of different type of coating materials on encapsulation of phenolic compounds extracted from onion skin. Coating materials were maltodextrin, gum arabic, casein and whey protein concentrate (WPC). As a coating material, maltodextrin was either used alone or it was combined with the other coating materials at ratios of 8:2 and 6:4. The emulsions were prepared with core to coating ratios of 1:10 and 1:20. Freeze dried capsules were evaluated in terms of total phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, encapsulation efficiency, particle size distribution, morphology and heat stability. Total phenolic content and antioxidant activity values were higher in microcapsules with core to coating ratio of 1:10 than microcapsules with core to coating ratio of 1:20. Capsules with core to coating ratio of 1:20 had higher encapsulation efficiency values than capsules with core to coating ratio of 1:10. Combining maltodextrin with casein was effective for keeping the phenolic compounds inside the capsule with its higher efficiency values (84.39-89.15%). Particle size of the capsules with core to coating ratio of 1:10 were higher in terms of D32 than the ones with core to coating ratio of 1:20. Optical images of the microcapsules confirmed the particle size distribution results. Usage of casein coating were more efficient than whey protein in terms of increasing heat stability of capsules.

Investigation of natural and processed cocoa and cocoa containing products for their antioxidant capacity and phenolic compounds Didiş, Mert Cem; Bozoğlu, Faruk; Sağdıçoğlu Celep, Gülçin; Department of Food Engineering (2015) Cocoa is one of the richest sources of polyphenols which have positive effects on cardiovascular health. (-)-Epicatechin(EC) and (+)-Catechin(C) are flavanols with several biological activities, particularly known for their high antioxidant potential. They scavenge free radicals in human body and prevent lipid peroxidation, which otherwise damage the cells. Food processing techniques may reduce the polyphenol contents and antioxidant capacity of food products substantially. Therefore, in this study natural ...
Homogeneous catalysts for the hydrolysis of Sodium Borohydride : synthesis, characterization and catalytic use Masjedi, Mehdi; Özkar, Saim; Department of Chemistry (2010) Recent study has shown that ruthenium(III) acetylacetonate acts as a homogeneous catalyst in the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride. When two equivalents of trimethylphosphite per ruthenium is added to the reaction solution containing sodium borohydride and ruthenium(III) acetylacetonate in the mixture of water and tetrahydrofuran, the rate of hydrogen generation is practically stopped (or reduced to the level of self hydrolysis). However, the catalytic hydrogen evolution of sodium borohydride restarts at an ...
Determination of phenolic and flavoniod compounds in rehum ribes Fazeli, Sepideh; Çoruh, Nursen; Department of Biochemistry (2016) This study involves the investigation of antioxidant phenolic and flavonoid compounds in Rheum ribes L. There is a continuous mounting pressure, in the scientific world, to discover new and potent antioxidants, to combat the free radicals. Among the antioxidant compounds, the phenolics and flavonoids comprise the largest class, and thus hold an important place in biochemical studies. Rheum ribes belong to the family of Polygonaceae in the genus Rheum, which is consumed as a medicinal plant. Since this plant...
Mathematical modeling of swelling in high moisture whey protein gels Öztop, Halil Mecit (Elsevier BV, 2011-09-01) Gels prepared from whey proteins can be used for controlled release of nutrients or active ingredients in food systems. The objective of this study was to characterize the water uptake by these hydrophilic gels to aid in the design of release systems. Whey protein isolate (WPI) gels (17% w/w protein) of different aspect ratios were submersed in aqueous solution at pH 7.0. Modeling of mass uptake is presented in terms of Case I (Fickian diffusion) and Case II (kinetic) models. Due to the extent of swelling, ...
Investigation of antioxidant capacity and phenolic contents of chocolates in the Turkish market Övet, Başak; Bozoğlu, Faruk; Sağdıçoğlu Celep, Gülçin; Department of Food Engineering (2015) Consumption of polyphenol rich foods is highly associated with human health, mainly with cardiovascular homeostasis. Chocolate is a very rich source of flavonoids, mainly (-)-epicatechin (EC), which has several reported bioactivities. Beneficial effects of polyphenols are usually attributed to their antioxidant potential. Therefore in this study, different chocolate samples commonly found in Turkish market were studied for their antioxidant capacities using DPPH• and ABTS• radicals scavenging methods. Total...
