Wines, especially red wines, contain numerous biologically active compounds, the most important of which are polyphenols, whose nutritional importance is attributed to their antioxidant power. Because of this, the detection of the amount of phenolic compounds in red wines becomes extremely important. However, using free enzyme in the determination of phenolic compounds in wines cannot reflect the actual values since there are also naturally found inhibitors in red wines. In this study, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, and sorbic acid were utilized to understand the behavior of immobilized polyphenol oxidase in the conducting polymer matrices toward inhibition. Cinnamic acid was found to be the most powerful inhibitor for both free and immobilized enzyme in copolymer matrix of poly(terephthalic acid bis-(2-thiophen-3-yl-ethyl) ester) (PTATE) with polypyrrole (PPy). In the case of immobilized enzyme in PPy matrix, it was observed that sorbic acid is a stronger inhibitor than cinnamic acid. The inhibitory effects of these inhibitors on PPO were compared with respect to both the structural differences of inhibitors and conducting polymer matrices.

Evaluation and discrimination of simvastatin-induced structural alterations in proteins of different rat tissues by FTIR spectroscopy and neural network analysis Garip, Sebnem; Yapici, Engin; Ozek, Nihal Simsek; Severcan, Mete; Severcan, Feride (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2010-01-01) Statins are commonly used to control hypercholesterolemia and to prevent cardiovascular diseases. Among the statins, Simvastatin is one of the most frequently prescribed statins because of its efficacy in reducing LDL lipoprotein cholesterol levels, its tolerability, and its reduction of cardiovascular risk and mortality. Conflicting results have been reported with regard to benefits (pleiotropic effects) as well as risks (adverse effects) of simvastatin on different soft and hard tissues. In the current st...
Determination of arsenic, selenium and cadmium in some Turkish spices by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry Şenol, Feriye; Ataman, Osman Yavuz; Department of Chemistry (2010) The major source of all the nutrient elements for human body is the daily diet which is affected by age, sex, and health status, geographic and climatic conditions. It is important to analyze food items in order to determine their elemental contents, estimate their dietary intakes and compare with recommended or tolerated intake values in order to limit or increase their consumption. Spices are taken from different parts of plants and widely used in cooking processes. They are convenient samples to investig...
Optimization of ETV-ICP(TOF)MS and transient signal profiles for reducing isobaric interferences Ertaş, Gülay (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2005-01-01) One of the advantages of the ETV sample introduction is the ability to temporally separate analyte elements in complex mixtures by differences in their vaporization temperatures within the ETV for ICPMS. However, the broadening of the transient peaks in the transport tubing often obscures this temporal resolution. This study shows that decreasing the transport tubing diameter produces little broadening beyond that produced during aerosol production in the ETV. Maintaining such narrow peaks through the trans...
Fluorescence determination of monosaccharides and catecholamines by using dansylaminophenyl boronic acid Seçkin, Z. Ebru; Volkan, Mürvet; Department of Chemistry (2004) In sugar industry, determination of invert sugars (fructose and glucose) provides information about the quality, process control and characteristics of the produced fructose and glucose syrups. Determination of invert sugar is also important for wine industries. In wine process, fructose and glucose are converted to ethanol by fermentation and the type of wine is designated by the amount of invert sugar remained. Fast and reliable invert sugar detection techniques are required to check the quality of wine t...
Introduction of solid-phase microextraction as a high-throughput sample preparation tool in laboratory analysis of prohibited substances Boyacı, Ezel; Rodriguez-Lafuente, Angel; Bojko, Barbara; Pawliszyn, Janusz (Elsevier BV, 2014-01-27) A fully automated, high-throughput method based on thin-film solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was developed for simultaneous quantitative analysis of 110 doping compounds, selected from ten classes and varying in physical and chemical properties. Among four tested extraction phases, C18 blades were chosen, as they provided optimum recoveries and the lowest carryover effect. The SPME method was optimized in terms of extraction pH, ionic strength of the sample, wa...
