Chickpea is an easily accessible legume which has beneficial effects on human health. On the other hand, gallic acid is a widespread phenolic compound found in various plants. In this study, it was aimed to obtain chickpea flour based active films and to characterize this films. The effects of pH (9 and 11), glycerol concentration (1% and 3% w/v of film solution) and gallic acid concentration (5% and 10% w/w of total solid) on color, opacity, mechanical strength, water vapor permeability (WVP), microstructure, chemical characteristic, antioxidant activity and phenolic content of films were investigated. At pH 11, films were stronger, had lower lightness value and had higher antioxidant activity. On the other hand, higher glycerol concentration made the films more flexible but less strong and more hydrophilic which resulted in higher WVP. There was no effect of glycerol on color and phenolic content of the films. Higher gallic acid concentration made great contribution to the chickpea flour based films by decreasing WVP and by increasing opacity, antioxidant activity, phenolic content, lightness and elongation. In this study, combination of chickpea flour and gallic acid as an antioxidant agent which has glycerol concentration of 1% w/v of film solution and gallic acid concentration of 10% w/w of total solid at pH 11 was found to be a great combination in order to obtain antioxidant rich edible composite films.

Production of xylooligosaccharides from cotton and tobacco stalk Akpinar, Ozlem; Erdogan, Kader; Ak, Ozlem; Bakir, Ufuk; Yılmaz, Levent (2007-09-01) Xylooligosaccharides (XOs) are non digestible oligosaccharides which have many beneficial health effects. XOs are produced from xylan rich materials. For production of XOs, among the xylan rich materials, the residual origin such as forestal, agricultural or industrial wastes of lignocellulosic nature were special interest since utilization agricultural biomass as raw material provides economic and ecological benefits. The driving force of this study was to test the suitability of cotton and tobacco stalks ...
A biomechanical and spectroscopic study of bone from rats with selenium deficiency and toxicity Turan, B; Bayari, S; Balcik, C; Severcan, Feride; Akkas, N (2000-06-01) Selenium, being an essential mineral in the mammalian diet, is important in providing protection against oxidative damage. Numerous in vitro studies of selenium compounds reveal a very high correlation between catalytic activity of selenium compounds and toxicity. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of dietary selenium on the biomechanical properties of bone. New born rats of both sexes were fed with either a control, or a selenium- and vitamin E-deficient, or a selenium-excess and vit...
Development of rapid dipstick assay for food pathogens, Salmonella, by optimized parameters Çam, Dilek; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-10-25) Salmonella is among the very important pathogens threating the human and animal health. Rapid and easy detection of these pathogens is crucial. In this context, antibody (Ab) based lateral flow assays (LFAs) which are simple immunochromatographic point of care test kits were developed by gold nanoparticles (GNPs) as labelling agent for Salmonella detection. For that purpose some critical parameters such as reagent concentrations on the capture zones, conjugate concentrations and ideal membrane type needed f...
Evaluation and discrimination of simvastatin-induced structural alterations in proteins of different rat tissues by FTIR spectroscopy and neural network analysis Garip, Sebnem; Yapici, Engin; Ozek, Nihal Simsek; Severcan, Mete; Severcan, Feride (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2010-01-01) Statins are commonly used to control hypercholesterolemia and to prevent cardiovascular diseases. Among the statins, Simvastatin is one of the most frequently prescribed statins because of its efficacy in reducing LDL lipoprotein cholesterol levels, its tolerability, and its reduction of cardiovascular risk and mortality. Conflicting results have been reported with regard to benefits (pleiotropic effects) as well as risks (adverse effects) of simvastatin on different soft and hard tissues. In the current st...
Effect of high hydrostatic pressure on the functional properties of soy protein isolate Zengin, Kübra; Alpas, Hami; Department of Food Engineering (2022-2-11) Soy protein is a low-cost additive with high biological value, unique functional properties, and beneficial effects on health, and it is widely used in the food industry as an important ingredient. When the health and functional properties of soy protein are considered altogether, there are several benefits for consuming and using it in foods. High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) is a non-thermal novel processing technology that has been generally used to destroys vegetative cells, microorganisms and enzymes. Ad...
