In this study, the potential use of microfluidization as a milling process for wheat bran was evaluated. More specifically, the influences of regular wheat bran and microfluidized wheat bran on quality (hardness, cutting force, specific volume, and color) and storage characteristics of model bakery product cake were compared. Microfluidization process led to formation of the finely separated fibrous structure with great surface area that allowed higher water holding capacity and methanol soluble-free phenolic content. Rheological measurements showed that the increased surface area of fibers also allowed bran fiber to intertwine and form strong fibrous matrix resulting in higher consistency index, yield stress, and viscoelastic moduli values in batter samples. Various flour formulations have been also tested in the presence of microfluidized wheat bran, and in reduced flour-containing samples, a fibrous network provided gluten-like strength to the batter and cake samples. Microfluidized wheat bran also affected color of cake samples. High water holding ability of microfluidized wheat bran had also impact on moisture loss and staling rate of the cake samples. These results show that microfluidized wheat bran could be an alternative functional ingredient in bakery products.

Optimization of Ethanol Production From Microfluidized Wheat Straw by Response Surface Methodology Turhan, Ozge; Isci, Asli; Mert, Behiç; Sakiyan, Ozge; Donmez, Sedat (2015-11-17) In this study, wheat straw was pretreated with a microfluidizer to improve its enzymatic hydrolysis and ethanol yields. The pretreatment was performed at various pressures (500, 1000, and 1500bar) and solid loadings (1, 2, and 3%). The microfluidized biomass was then subjected to hydrolysis and simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation (SSCF) experiments at different enzyme loadings (5, 10, and 15 FPU/g dry wheat straw) using a mutant yeast. The results indicated that the microfluidization method al...
Synthesis and characterization of polystyrene clay nanocomposites Özden, Gülsüm; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Chemical Engineering (2004) This study was undertaken to prepare polystyrene (PS)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites by different methods, including melt intercalation, in-situ polymerization and masterbatch methods. The in-situ polymerization method consisted of dispersing the styrene monomer into the galleries of MMT followed by subsequent polymerization. The PS/MMT nanocomposites formed by melt intercalation method were prepared on a twin-screw extruder. The masterbatch method was in fact a two-step process. As the first step, a ...
Development of novel pea flour-based nanofibres by electrospinning method Oğuz, Seren; Aydogdu, AYÇA; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (Wiley, 2018-05-01) The aim of this study was to produce pea flour and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)-based novel nanofibres using electrospinning method. The effects of pH, pea flour and HPMC concentration on apparent viscosity, electrical conductivity of electrospinning solutions and nanofibre characteristics were studied. Solutions were prepared at different pH values (7, 10, 12), with different pea flour concentrations (1%, 2% w/v) and HPMC concentrations (0.25%, 0.5%, 1.0% w/v). For all pea flour concentrations, k v...
Production and characterization of xylanases of a Bacillus strain isolated from soil Avcioglu, B; Eyupoglu, B; Bakir, U (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-02-01) Xylanase production was performed by growing a Bacillus isolate on agricultural by-products, wheat straw, wheat bran, corn cobs and cotton bagasse. A maximum xylanase activity of 180 U/ml was obtained together with a cellulase activity of 0.03 U/ml on 4 (w/v) corn cobs. Electrophoretic analysis showed the presence of three endo-beta-1, 4-xylanases having molecular weights of about 22, 23 and 40 kDa. Xylanolytic activity was stable up to 50degreesC in the pH range of 4.5-10 and the highest activity was obser...
The Production and characterization of microparticulated corn zein, and its applications on emulsions and bread-making Öztürk, Oğuz Kaan; Mert, Behiç; Department of Food Engineering (2014) The main objective of this study was to investigate the potential use of microfluidization as a milling process for corn zein, and its effects on emulsifying properties of zein emulsions, and on rheological and textural properties of gluten-free bread formulations. Also, the effects of microfluidization were tried to improved with alkaline treatment. In the first part of the study, microstructural properties of zein slurries were evaluated by SEM analysis. In the second part of the study, rheological proper...
