Functional foods are groups of foods that have potentially positive effects on health beyond basic nutrition. Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms, being as a group of functional foods, and when ingested in adequate amounts, they possess positive health effects to host organisms including having anti-carcinogenic functions, yet their exact mechanisms how they possess anti-carcinogenic activities are still under investigation. Another group of functional foods is plant-based phenolic compounds. They also have potential to possess anti-carcinogenic activities. Among them, oleuropein is very interesting and well-known phenolic compound naturally present in olive fruits and olive oil. As the phenolic compounds and probiotic bacteria can be present at the same time in human gastrointestinal tract, this study aims to investigate the in vitro cytotoxic effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5 (LA5) and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (GG) grown in the presence of oleuropein on human prostate cancer cell line. For this, oleuropein was added to media of these bacteria and effects of cell-free supernatants of these combinations (phenolic+probiotic) on cytotoxicity of prostate cancer cell line PC-3 were investigated using MTT Method. Different concentrations of oleuropein were added to bacterial cultures and oleuropein added to the growth medium of LA-5 had additional effects on the cytotoxicity of cell-free supernatants of this bacterium. However, addition of oleuropein to the growth medium of GG did not show significant changes on the cytotoxicity of cell-free supernatants of this bacterium. Thus, the results indicate that new combinations of functional foods have potential to formulate new nutraceuticals.

EFFECT OF PSYLLIUM AND CELLULOSE FIBER ADDITION ON STARCH DIGESTIBILITY FOR BREAD AND CRACKER
Bilgiç, Hilal; Şensoy, İlkay; Department of Food Engineering (2022-2-9)
Understanding the interactions between fibers and other food components gain importance every day due to the increasing number of informed consumers about the health benefits of high fiber-containing foods. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of fiber addition on the starch digestion behavior of bread and cracker samples. Fiber-added samples (bread or cracker) were prepared by replacing 10 % of the wheat flour with the fibers (psyllium or cellulose). Physical and quality parameters of...
Investigation of physico-chemical properties of soy proteins glycated with d-psicose
Beylikçi, Sermet Can; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Department of Food Engineering (2019)
Proteins are one of the most essential food components that is constantly used by food industry because of their functional properties as well as their nutritional value. Soy protein has become popular among the usable protein resources because of its various functional properties such as foaming, gelling, emulsifying and water holding capacities. However, certain drawbacks of soy protein like limited solubility especially in acidic environment, emerge the need for modification for further use in broader va...

Many epidemiological studies have revealed that there is a strong correlation between consumption of polyphenol-rich foods or beverages and the prevention of certain diseases such as cancers, cardiovascular diseases and aging. Phenolic compounds are abundant in all plants, therefore they form an integral part of the human diet. Salvia species, commonly known as sage, have been used since ancient times for more than 60 different ailments ranging from aches to epilepsy. There are around 900 species of Salvia,...
Evaluation of the effects of maltodextrin and microfluidization on the rheological and textural properties of cookie and cookie dough
Topaloğlu, Tuğçe; Yücel, Umut; Department of Food Engineering (2015)
Several health problems like diabetes and obesity are associated with consumption of highly fatty food, leading consumers to be more conscious about what they eat. This concern has been a driving factor for manufacturers to research and develop low- or reduced-fat products. Therefore, the baking industry finds new ways to respond to the demands. For this reason, fat replacement in bakery products has gained a popularity. Maltodextrin is commonly used to trim fat from bakery products because it gives some pr...
Encapsulation of pea protein in an alginate matrix by cold set gelation method and use of the capsules in fruit juices
Narin, Ceren; Ertuğrul, Ülkü; Taş, Ozan; Şahin, Serpil; Öztop, Halil Mecit (Wiley, 2020-09-01)
Plant-based proteins gained importance in recent years due to the increase in the awareness of healthy diet and in the consumption of plant-based foods. However, some features of plant-based proteins like the undesirable odor and flavor affect the sensorial properties of protein containing foods. Therefore, encapsulation of these proteins could be a good strategy to tackle with this problem. The objective of this study was to design microcapsules (beads) consisting of pea protein by using sodium alginate an...
