Emulsification effect of gum tragacanth (GT) obtained from Astragalus species is gaining particular interest in recent years. In this study, stabilization effect of GT, xanthan gum (XG), and sucrose monopalmitate (SMP) was investigated by keeping their concentration constant (0.5% w/v) for the oil-in-water emulsions containing 20% (v/v) sun flower oil and 2% (w/v) whey protein isolate. Emulsification was achieved by using high shear homogenization. Particle size and T-2 (spin-spin relaxation time) measurements were performed for the characterization and repeated over the course of 28 days. Emulsion stability index (ESI [%]) was measured and rheological characterization was also performed. The lowest particle size was found for the XG emulsions and this was attributed to the pseudoplastic behavior of xanthan compared to GT (n(Xanthan) = 0.188 MUCH LESS-THAN n(GT) = 0.721). Xanthan emulsions thinned out dramatically when sheared during homogenization, and consequently, floccules formed could have been disrupted more resulting in smaller particle size. Result of rheological experiments showed that SMP emulsions were fit to Newtonian model, while XG and GT showed shear thinning behavior and fit to a power law model. Apparent viscosity of XG emulsions was found significantly higher than the GT ones. The most stable emulsions were the ones prepared by XG and they remained stable during 28 days. Although GT emulsions could not protect their stability during 28 days, ESI (%) results were found similar with XG indicating promising emulsification effect of GT. Practical Application Gum tragacanth, xanthan gum, and sucrose monopalmitate have been used to formulate oil-in-water emulsions. The final formulated products can be used in emulsion-based food products to increase their stability and shelf life.

Characterization of emulsion stabilization properties of quince seed extract as a new source of hydrocolloid Kırtıl, Emrah; Öztop, Halil Mecit (2016-07-01) The capability of seed extracts in stabilizing emulsions has particularly received interest in recent years. Upon soaking quince seeds into water, biopolymers inside the seeds are extracted to water, forming mucilage. This study investigates the physical stability, rheology and microstructure of oil (sunflower oil) in water emulsions, stabilized by 2% (w/v) whey protein isolate with varying concentrations of xanthan and quince seed gum. Quince seed gum resulted in emulsions with smaller low-shear viscositie...
Transformation of tobacco (Nicotiana tabaccum) with antimicrobial pflp gene and analysis of transgenic plants Tuncer, Taner; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biotechnology (2006) The objective of this study was to transform sweet pepper ferredoxin-like protein (PFLP) gene, which has antimicrobial properties, to tobacco and investigate the disease resistance abilities of transgenic tobacco. This protein interacts with another protein, harpin that is produced by the bacteria which is invading the plant tissues, and stimulates hypersensitivity response in plants, thus the spreading of disease is limited. Gene transfer was achieved to tobacco by Agrobacterium- mediated method and with i...
Characterization of aldrin epoxidation in flathead mullet (Mugil cephalus) liver microsomes: Involvement of CYP3A BOZCAARMUTLU, AZRA; Turna, S.; Erden, C. Sapmaz; Yenisoy-Karakas, S.; Arinc, E. (2011-08-28) Toxic organochlorine pesticides, aldrin and its metabolite dieldrin, have been reported to contaminate the aquatic environment highly. In the present study, epoxidation reaction of aldrin to dieldrin was studied in mullet liver microsomes and contribution of cytochrome P450 isozyme(s) was determined by using specific cytochrome P450 inhibitors and substrate. Flathead mullet samples (Mugil cephalus) were caught from the West Black Sea Region of Turkey. Fish liver microsomes were prepared by differential cent...
Characterization of Pectin-Based Gels: A 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Relaxometry Study Beira, Maria J.; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Sebastião, Pedro J. (2021-10-01) Rare sugars are monosaccharides and their derivatives that are not commonly found in nature. d-Allulose is a rare sugar that is C-3 epimer of fructose and presents an alternative to sucrose with potential health benefits. In this study, different amounts of sucrose, d-allulose, and soy protein isolate (SPI) were used to prepare a set of pectin gels. The effect of these ingredients on the gels was studied at both a molecular level, by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometry, and a macroscopic level, ...
Synthesis and characterization of solvent-free hybrid alkyd resin with hyperbranched melamine core Gündüz, Güngör; Keskin, Nagehan; Çolak, Üner; MAVİŞ, BORA (2018-07-01) In this study, a new hybrid alkyd resin was formulated using melamine-based hyperbranched polymer having 24 hydroxyl groups on its structure and relatively low molecular weight alkyd. The alkyd was synthesized using an oil mixture (40% linseed + 60% sunflower). Melamine was used as the core molecule for the hyperbranched polymer due to its excellent properties such as greater hardness, alkali and solvent resistance, and thermal stability. Melamine was first hydroxylated using formaldehyde and changed into h...
