Many foods (such as hazelnut, pistachio nut, almond, corn, wheat, dried fig, and chili pepper) may include carcinogenic aflatoxins that threatens human health. Chili pepper is also prone to aflatoxin contamination during harvesting, production and storage periods. Although Turkey is the third largest chili pepper producer in the world, it has less than three percent international market share due to the high level of aflatoxin contamination in the chili pepper. Various chemical methods are used for detection of aflatoxin. Chemical methods used for detection of aflatoxin contamination give accurate results, but they are slow, expensive and destructive. In this study, intensity histograms of hyper spectral images of chili peppers are extracted under halogen illumination source and aflatoxin detection is made by artificial neural networks.

Extraction and physicochemical characterization of insect oils obtained from Acheta Domesticus & Tenebrio Molitor Uğur, Ahmet Erdem; Alpas, Hami; Department of Food Engineering (2019) Edible insects have become one of the most attracted and attention-grabbing alternative food sources in recent years due to the constituents that include proteins, oils, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. The goal of this study is to explore insect oils in terms of physicochemical properties to help their utilization in future against the possible scarcity of the resources in the world, and the most important point is to help to enable these valuable edible insect species as one of the main nutrient sour...
Comparison of thermal sterilization and high hydrostatic pressure-HHP on furan formation, microbial and nutritional quality in commercial baby foods Kültür, Gülçin; Alpas, Hami; Department of Food Engineering (2013) Furan, which is a lipophilic contaminant and formed during heating process in foods, has been pointed out as a danger in baby foods since it has been classified as “possibly carcinogenic to human” by IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer). Hence, a great concern has been addressed to the analysis of this substance in baby foods. This study aims to prove that sterilization of baby foods is possible by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) without allowing the formation of furan. Firstly, HHP treatments...
Characterization and evaluation of emulsifying properties of high pressure microfluidized and pH shifted corn gluten meal Ozturk, Oguz Kaan; Mert, Behiç (2019-03-01) This study presents a potential application for adding value to corn gluten meal, which is often used as animal feed and underutilized in food industry. This study is aimed to improve water holding ability of zein-rich by product corn gluten and investigate possibility of using it as an emulsifier. The potential use of microfluidization (500-1250 bar and 25 degrees C) and pH shifting (to pH6, 8, and 10) as a modification process for corn gluten meal and their effects on emulsifying properties were investiga...
Use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for rapid comparative analysis of Bacillus and Micrococcus isolates Garip, Sebnem; Gözen, Ayşe Gül; Severcan, FERİDE (Elsevier BV, 2009-04-15) The identification of foodborne microorganisms and their endospores in food products are important for food safety. The present work compares Bacillus (Bacillas licheniformis, Bacillus circulans and Bacillus silbtilis) and Micrococcus (Micrococcus luteus) species with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Our results show that there are several characteristic peaks belonging to both the Micrococcus and Bacillus Species Which Call be used for the identification of these foodborne bacteria and their...
The use of microfluidization for the production of xanthan and citrus fiber-based gluten-free corn breads OZTURK, Oguz Kaan; Mert, Behiç (2018-10-01) Corn gluten meal is an underutilized byproduct due to its hydrophobic nature although it contains high amount of protein. The primary objectives of this study were to enhance the water holding capacity of this protein-rich byproduct with microfluidization technique and use it in bread-making formulations instead of gluten with the addition of different supplements. The increase in stability, surface area, and consequently water holding capacity with microfluidization resulted in the formation of compatible ...
