The main objective of this dissertation was to encapsulate the phenolic compounds extracted from strawberry pomace and olive leaf waste with different coating materials (maltodextrin, gum Arabic, chickpea flour and lentil flour) by using various techniques namely, high-speed homogenization (HSH), high-pressure homogenization (HPH), primary and double emulsion methods (PE and DE). This study was mainly divided into three parts. In the first part of the study, phenolic compounds extracted from strawberry pomace were encapsulated by using different concentrations of maltodextrin and gum arabic mixture. HPH caused to have higher efficiencies (85.99-91.32%) than HSH (81.88-88.15%). Besides, addition of Gum Arabic to maltodextrin increased efficiency. In the second part of the study, another source obtained from olive leaf waste: olive leaf extract (OLE) was encapsulated by using HSH and HPH with lentil and chickpea flours. Efficiencies after HPH treatments (81.87-85.09%) were higher than those after HSH treatment (80.78-80.26%). In the third part, encapsulation of OLE through emulsification methods showed that DE (95.45%) was a better encapsulation technique than PE (72.05%) and entrapment techniques (80.26-91.32%). DE with chickpea flour was found to have higher storage stability and lower release rate than DE with lentil flour. Encapsulated OLE was found to be more heat stable than uncoated OLE during baking. Besides, encapsulation prevented the release of the phenolic compounds in simulated gastric fluid. Release of phenolic compounds in intestinal fluid were found to be higher than the gastric fluid. As a result, DE was found to be the most efficient encapsulation method.

Optimisation of formulations and infrared-microwave combination baking conditions of chestnut-rice breads
Demirkesen, Ilkem; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil; Uysal, Nalan (Wiley, 2011-09-01)
The main objective of this study was to design gluten-free breads containing chestnut and rice flour and xanthan-guar gum blend to be baked in infrared-microwave combination oven. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimise gluten-free bread formulations and processing conditions. Weight loss, firmness, specific volume and colour change of the breads were determined. Rice flour mixed with different proportions of chestnut flour and different emulsifier contents were used to prepare breads. The g...
Development of gluten-free wafer sheet formulations
MERT, Selen; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (2015-10-01)
The main objective of this study was to develop gluten-free wafer sheet formulations by replacing rice flour partially with different gluten-free flours at different ratios. Rice-corn flour blends, rice-buckwheat flour blends and rice-chestnut flour blends with different ratios (80:20, 60:40, 40:60) were used in the experiments in order to find the higher quality and more nutritional gluten-free wafer sheet formulations. As a control, wafer sheet samples containing only rice flour and only wheat flour were ...

Demirkesen, Ilkem; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (2013-07-01)
In this study, the effects of chestnut flour and xanthan-guar gum blend-emulsifier DATEM mixture addition on macro- and microstructure of rice breads baked in conventional and infrared-microwave combination ovens were investigated by using the images obtained by a scanner and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Pore area fraction, pore size distribution, and roundness values of pores were determined. The highest pore area fraction values were obtained in breads prepared by replacement of 46 % of rice flour ...
Microwave extraction of phenolic compounds from caper and oleaster
Durmaz, Ezgi; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil; Department of Food Engineering (2012)
The main objective of this study was to extract phenolic compounds from caper and oleaster by using microwave. The effects of microwave power (400 and 700 W), extraction time (5-20 min), solid to solvent ratio (1:10, 1:20 and 1:30) and solvent type (water, ethanol and different ratios of ethanol-water mixture) on total phenolic content, antioxidant activity and concentration of the phenolic compounds in the extracts were investigated. In conventional extraction, extraction time and solvent type were used as...

Aydoğdu, Ayça; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2019)
The main objective of this study was to encapsulate gallic acid in Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and legume flours (lentil and pea) based nanofiber by electrospinning and to examine the usage of nanofibers as active packaging materials. Firstly, HPMC based homogenous nanofibers were fabricated and it was observed that the morphology of the fibers changed from the beaded structure to the uniform fiber structure by increasing the concentrations of the solutions. By choosing optimum HPMC concentration, ...
