Oil migration is a common problem in chocolate confectionery products leading to quality defects, particularly fat bloom. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is among the most novel techniques as being a non-destructive method to monitor and quantify migration. The main objective of this study was to model oil migration of peanut butter over dark chocolate layer system stored at 30°C with the predictions of a Fickian-based mathematical model. For this purpose, signal intensity (SI) values of chocolate layers containing migrated oil through peanut butter were obtained by using MRI over a time frame of 18 days. Although there are similar studies, different chocolate formulations and peanut butter were used in this study. Experimental data were fitted to a Fickian-based mathematical model. Parameters (C0, b) belonging to time varying boundary conditions and diffusion coefficients (D) were estimated using MATLAB program. Dimensionless equilibrium interface concentrations (C0) were found between 0.70 and 3.53 over time. Time constant (b) was obtained as 0.14 day-1. During storage, D values varied from 8.09×10-11 to 5.42×10-10 m2 s-1. Higher D values were obtained at day 1 indicating faster migration rate.

Mathematical Modeling and Use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for Oil Migration in Chocolate Confectionery Systems
Cikrikci, SEVİL; Öztop, Halil Mecit (2017-03-01)
Oil migration is a common problem in chocolate confectionery products leading to quality defects, particularly fat bloom. Several factors such as contact area, ratio of the two fat phases, type of the fat, solid fat content, presence of non-fat solid particles, particle size, viscosity, structure, concentration gradient of triacylglycerols (TAGs), and storage temperature have all effect on migration rate. Mechanism of oil migration has still not been clearly understood, but possible mechanisms have been sug...
Investigating Oil Migration in Two Layer Chocolate Systems with Different Hazelnut Paste and Cream Formulations Over Chocolate Layer by Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRI Technique
Çıkrıkcı, Sevil; Öztop, Halil Mecit (null; 2015-08-10)
Oil migration is a common problem in chocolate confectionery products leading to quality defects particularly fat bloom. Although there are so many methods to monitor and quantify migration, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is among the most novel technique as being a non-destructive method. The main objective of this study was to quantify oil migration from two different hazelnut pastes (oil percentage as 44% and 38.4%) and one hazelnut cream (oil percentage as 30%) products into one type of dark chocolate...
Oil migration in hazelnut paste/chocolate systems using magnetic resonance imaging
Çıkrıkcı, Sevil; Öztop, Halil Mecit (2018-09-01)
Oil migration in confectionery products results in undesired quality changes of confections such as fat bloom. Oil migration and the resulting bloom formation in chocolate could be an important quality defect in a confectionery product. This study addressed to evaluate mass transfer of liquid oil on two-layer chocolate model systems prepared from hazelnut paste over different dark chocolate formulations by utilizing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Through the use of MRI, it becomes easier to predict the r...
Virus induced gene silencing in Brachypodium distachyon, a model organism for cereals
Demircan, Turan; Akkaya, Mahinur (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-01-01)
Brachypodium distachyon is emerging as a model organism for crops as a better alternative to Oryzae sativa. It shares common characteristics of a model plant with its small genome, small physical plant size, a short lifecycle, and less demanding growth requirements similar to Arabidopsis thaliana. In this study, we are reporting for the first time, an implementation of virus induced gene silencing (VIGS), a powerful method allowing rapid and effective means of loss of gene function through RNA interference....
The effect of hybrid vigor on callus induction and plant regeneration from mature embryo culture of barley (Hordeum vulgare)
Ozgen, M; Birsin, MA; Onde, S (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-07-01)
The influence of hybrid vigor on callus induction, callus weight, regeneration capacity of callus, culture efficiency and number of regenerated plants from mature embryo cultures of winter barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) hybrid was studied. A total of 15 F-1 hybrids and their parents were used for mature embryo culture. The statistical analysis of the results revealed that positive heterosis was noticed for all these characters except for callus weight. Plants regenerated in vitro were successfully established...
