High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) technique has potential for food preservation purposes and HHP treatment can inactivate enzymes and/or increase their activity. Avicel, the commercial name of microcrystalline cellulose, is a commonly used substrate to observe the activity of cellulase. Cellulase activity is a crucial parameter for the production of alternative renewable fuels. Celluclast 1.5L, a mixture of enzymes, are used for the hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose containing substances. Peanut hull (35% cellulose) as a lignocellulosic biomass is an appropriate material for conversion of the chemical feedstocks. The aim of this study is to observe different effects of HHP on substrate hydrolysis, and cellulose-hemicellulase (Celluclast) activity. Pressure and time were changed for HHP at the ranges of 0.1500MPa, and 5-15min, respectively, at 30oC. The results showed that hydrolysis of HHP-treated enzyme and HHP-treated enzyme-substrate solutions gave significantly higher reducing sugar content than the non-HHP-treated solution (p<0.05). However, no significant effect was observed between applied pressure levels of 100 and 500MPa (p>0.05). Additionally, the hydrolysis results demonstrated that pretreatment process was a necessary step to increase hydrolysis efficiency due to high lignin content of biomass. According to the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Relaxometry results, significant increases of T2 relaxation were observed with HHP-treated (100 MPa-5 min-30oC) samples due to an increase in hydrophilicity of the sample surface (p<0.05). Additionally, enzymatic hydrolysis led significant increase on the relaxation time (p<0.05). The effects of HHP, alkaline pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis were observed with the changes Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra.

Effect of high hydrostatic pressure on the profile of proteins extracted from Betula pendula pollens
Altuner, Ergin Murat; Ceter, Talip; Alpas, Hami (2014-10-02)
High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) has high success potential in pollen protein extraction, but its effect on pollen protein profiles has not been studied yet. The aim of this study is to put forward whether HHP processing causes a change in the protein profiles extracted from pollens or not. In this study, proteins extracted from Betula pendula pollens were studied at 100, 200 and 300 MPa at room temperature for 5 min. In addition, the efficiency of three different extraction solvents, namely phosphate buffer...
Effects of Isoflurane, Halothane, and Chloroform on the Interactions and Lateral Organization of Lipids in the Liquid-Ordered Phase
Türkyılmaz, Serhan; Regen, Steven L. (2011-12-06)
The first quantitative insight has been obtained into the effects that volatile anesthetics have on the interactions and lateral organization of lipids in model membranes that mimic "lipid rafts". Specifically, nearest-neighbor recogntion measurements, in combination with Monte Carlo simulations, have been used to investigate the action of isoflurane, halothane, and chloroform on the compactness and lateral organization of cholesterol-rich bilayers of 1,2-dipalmitoylsn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) in the...
Effect of high hydrostatic pressure on seed germination, microbial quality, anatomy-morphology and physiological characteristics of garden cress (Lepidium sativum) seedlings
İŞLEK, Cemil; Altuner, Ergin Murat; Ceter, Talip; Alpas, Hami (Informa UK Limited, 2013-06-01)
High hydrostatic pressure is a non-thermal food processing technology that is found to increase the percentage of germination, decrease the germination time and improve the microbial quality of seeds. In this study, pressures of 100-400MPa for 10min at 30 degrees C are used to compare the percentage of germination, the microbial quality of seeds, chlorophyll a and b, and total phenolic compounds concentrations in seedlings, and the anatomy-morphology characteristics of garden cress. Enhanced reductions of t...
Effect of starvation on the adhesive properties of xenobiotic degrading bacteria
Sanin, SL; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Bryers, JD (Elsevier BV, 2003-01-31)
The purpose of this study was to observe the effects of different starvation conditions on the surface characteristics and adhesive properties of bacteria. Three pure culture xenobiotic degrading bacteria were used in this study: Pseudomonas sp. strain A, Pseudomonas sp. strain D and Rhodococcus corallinus strain 11. These microorganisms were selected for to their ability to degrade cyanuric acid, which is a derivative of s-Triazine, a common herbicide. These microorganisms were separately starved for carbo...
Effect of High Hydrostatic Pressure Treatment (HHPT) on Quality and Shelf Life of Atlantic Mackerel (Scomber scombrus)
ŞENTÜRK, Tugce; Alpas, Hami (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-09-01)
The ability of high hydrostatic pressure treatment (HHPT) to extend the shelf life of Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) was assessed in this study. For that purpose, fillets were subjected to pressure treatments at 200, 300, 400 MPa at 5, 10, 15 A degrees C for 5 and 15 min. The influence of pressure treatments on the levels of trimethylamine nitrogen (TMA-N) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) as well as color changes was investigated. The suitable combinations were determined as 200 MPa, 15 A degrees C for 5...
