This study aims at development of a new method to form emulsion-based yoghurt like gels from, but not limited to hazelnut. For this purpose, hazelnut slurries with varying solid content were processed using a microfluidizer to obtain creamy structures possessing high consistency. Then, these slurries were processed into fermented hazelnut products (HNPs) by inoculating with lactic acid bacteria culture. Real time Theological measurements were conducted to monitor how moduli values changed during fermentation. For the sake of comparison conventional cow milk yoghurt (CMY) was also included in the study. Texture analysis experiment showed that microfluidization greatly improved physical properties of the HNPs with significant increase in firmness values. When moisture content of HNP was around 22.7%, the firmness value was close to that of CMY. Since the entire hazelnut was used in processing, the HNPs contained soluble (0.34-0.75 g/100 g) and insoluble fiber (1.58-4.12 g/100 g). Microfluidization treatment also resulted in markedly increased colloidal stability of the HNPs. Sensory evaluation studies revealed that some of the HNP formulations had comparable texture, flavor, and appearance properties with CMY.

Effect of ultrasound power on physicochemical and rheological properties of yoghurt drink produced with thermosonicated milk
Gursoy, Oguz; Yilmaz, Yusuf; Gokce, Ozge; Ertan, Kübra (2016-04-01)
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of ultrasound power on some selected quality parameters of yogurt drink produced with thermosonicated milk. Ultrasonication treatments for raw milk samples preheated to 70 degrees C were carried out at different ultrasound powers (100, 125 and 150W): Yogurt drinks were produced with milk samples processed with thermosonication or conventional heating (10 min at 90 degrees C). Thermosonication treatment did not influence proximate composition and color propert...
Effects of addition of different fibers on rheological characteristics of cake batter and quality of cakes
Aydogdu, AYÇA; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (2018-02-01)
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of addition of dietary fibers on rheological properties of batter and cake quality. Wheat flour was replaced by 5 and 10% (wt%) oat, pea, apple and lemon fibers. All cake batters showed shear thinning behavior. Incorporation of fibers increased consistency index (k), storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (GaEuro(3)). As quality parameters, specific volume, hardness, weight loss, color and microstructure of cakes were investigated. Cakes containing oat and...
Effect of ultrasound on drying rate of selected produce
Kantaş, Yeşim; Bayındırlı, Alev; Department of Food Engineering (2007)
The objective of this study was to discover the effect of high power direct contact ultrasound on drying rates of apple, celery root, carrot and potato. For this purpose ultrasonic generator with 24 kHz frequency was used and amplitude and pulse mode values were chosen as 40%, 70%, 100%, and 0.4, 0.7, 1.0, respectively. The temperature of drying air was 30°C, 40°C and 50°C and the velocity was kept at 3.9 m/s. The samples used were 13.5 mm in diameter with 5.0 mm thickness. It is found that ultrasound assis...
EFFECTS OF MICROFLUIDIZED DIETARY FIBERS ON STABILITY PROPERTIES OF EMULSIONS
Ketenoglu, Onur; Mert, Behiç; Tekin, Aziz (Wiley, 2014-08-01)
This study aims to determine the stability improving effects of size-reduced dietary fibers in food emulsions. Orange zest fiber and corn fiber were microfluidized under high pressure (up to 15,000 psi). Model emulsions were prepared by adding 1, 2 and 3% of the fibers into the mixture of 3% whey protein isolate and 20 and 50% oil. These mixtures were homogenized through both colloid mill and microfluidizer to form model emulsions. Rheological properties such as flow and oscillation were measured with frequ...
Effects of Microwave-Infrared Combination Drying on Quality of Eggplants
Aydogdu, Ayca; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (2015-06-01)
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of hot-air drying and microwave-infrared combination drying on drying characteristics and quality parameters of eggplants. Eggplant slices were dried by using microwave-infrared combination oven at different microwave powers (30, 40, and 50 %) and different infrared (IR) powers (10, 20, and 30 %). Hot-air drying was performed in a tray dryer at 50 A degrees C with an air velocity of 1.5 m/s. As quality parameters, color, rehydration ratio, shrinkage...
