Asparagus officinalis is a spring vegetable contains flavonoids, amino acid derivatives, glycolic acid, tyrosine, vitamins, saponins and essential oils and it has health benefits such as prevention of cancer, mutation, inflammation, and liver damage. The aim of this study is to investigate drying kinetics of Asparagus officinalis. According to R, χ2, RMSE and Error values, the model parameters at different temperatures (70°C, 80°C, 90°C), spear thickness (1 mm, 2 mm and 3mm), and microwave power (100 W, 200 W, and 300W) were compared. Midilli and Kucuk equation was found as the best equation to describe drying of Asparagus officinalis. R values of Midilli and Kucuk Equation changed between 0.8886 and 0.9989 for hot air drying and between 0.9568 and 0.9999 for a microwave drying.

Resveratrol as a Growth Substrate for Bacteria from the Rhizosphere
Kurt, Zöhre; Spain, Jim C. (2018-05-01)
Resveratrol is among the best-known secondary plant metabolites because of its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. It also is an important allelopathic chemical widely credited with the protection of plants from pathogens. The ecological role of resveratrol in natural habitats is difficult to establish rigorously, because it does not seem to accumulate outside plant tissue. It is likely that bacterial degradation plays a key role in determining the persistence, and thus the ecological...
Mechanism of inhibition of cytochrome p4501a1 associated 7-ethoxyresorufin o-deethylase (erod) activity and glutathione s-transferase (gst) activities in fish liver by phenolic compounds/flavonoids
Yılmaz, Duygu; Arınç, Emel; Department of Biology (2010)
Flavonoids, present in fruits, vegetables and beverages derived from plants, have been described as health-promoting, disease-preventing dietary supplements, and have activity as cancer preventive agents. The cancer protective effects of flavonoids have been attributed to a wide variety of mechanisms, including modulating enzyme activities resulting in the decreased carcinogenicity of xenobiotics. Cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) is a Phase I enzyme which is known to be involved in the activation of procarcinoge...
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...
Formulation, characterization and antimicrobial effect of cinnamon oil nanoemulsions
Yıldırım, Simge Tutku; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Soyer, Yeşim; Department of Food Engineering (2015)
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 approac...
Enhancement of storage stability of wheat germ oil by encapsulation
Karadeniz, Meltem; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2015)
Wheat germ oil is a rich source of omega 3 and omega 6-fatty acids, octacosanol and tocopherol which has vitamin E activity. Due to these properties it is very beneficial for health but it is prone to oxidation in free form. Encapsulation provides protection of food ingredients from environmental stresses and increases the stability and functionality of the ingredient, which makes it possible to be used in functional foods. The main objective of this study was to encapsulate wheat germ oil and to investigat...
