The identification of foodborne microorganisms and their endospores in food products are important for food safety. The present work compares Bacillus (Bacillas licheniformis, Bacillus circulans and Bacillus silbtilis) and Micrococcus (Micrococcus luteus) species with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Our results show that there are several characteristic peaks belonging to both the Micrococcus and Bacillus Species Which Call be used for the identification of these foodborne bacteria and their endospores. For Micrococcus species, a new hand was observed at 1338 cut 1 which may be due to acetate oxidation via the carboxylic acid cycle. The bands at 1313 cm(-1) and 1256 cm(-1) can be explained by in exopolymer formation and the other bands at 1074 cm(-1) and 550 cm(-1), may be due to the glycogen-like storage material in Micrococcus spp. There are also characteristic peaks at 993 cm(-1) and 801 cm(-1) for these bacterial species. Different Bacillus species also showed characteristic peaks at 1000-500 cm(-1) region. Dipicolinic acid (DPA) bands at similar to 728 cm(-1) and similar to 703 cm(-1) seen only in B. circulans were the marker of an endospore formation.

Antioxidant capacities of Gundelia tournefortii L. extracts and inhibition on glutathione-S-transferase activity Çoruh, Nursen; Ozgokce, F.; Iscan, M. (Elsevier BV, 2007-01-01) Gundelia tournefortii L. is an important food source and a well-known medicinal plant in Eastern Anatolia. Therapeutic effects of medicinal plants are known to be closely related to their antioxidant capacities. Antioxidant activities of G. tournefortii, both for the aerial parts and seeds, were investigated by using both 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging and lipid peroxidation inhibition methods. The seeds were found to have higher antioxidant potential than the aerial, with IC50 valu...
Development of immunoaffinity based detection platforms for food pathogens Çam, Dilek; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biology (2016) Salmonella and E.coli, food pathogens, are among the very important pathogens threating the health. Rapid and easy detection of these pathogens is crucial. In this context, lateral flow assay (LFA) platform prepared by gold nanoparticles (GNPs) based on antibody for Salmonella and E.coli O157:H7 was developed in the first part of this study. In second part, single chain variable fragments (scFv) and SNAP-Tagged full IgG (fusion protein) of se155-4 antibody specific to Salmonella were genetically produced. T...
Comparison of thermal sterilization and high hydrostatic pressure-HHP on furan formation, microbial and nutritional quality in commercial baby foods Kültür, Gülçin; Alpas, Hami; Department of Food Engineering (2013) Furan, which is a lipophilic contaminant and formed during heating process in foods, has been pointed out as a danger in baby foods since it has been classified as “possibly carcinogenic to human” by IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer). Hence, a great concern has been addressed to the analysis of this substance in baby foods. This study aims to prove that sterilization of baby foods is possible by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) without allowing the formation of furan. Firstly, HHP treatments...
Interactions of high hydrostatic pressure, pressurization temperature and pH on death and injury of pressure-resistant and pressure-sensitive strains of foodborne pathogens Alpas, Hami; BOZOGLU, F; RAY, B (Elsevier BV, 2000-09-15) The objective of this: study is to determine the interactions between high hydrostatic pressure, pressurization temperature, time and pH during pressurization on death and injury of pressure-resistant and pressure-sensitive strains of four foodborne pathogens: Staphylococcus aureus 485 and 765, Listeria monocytogenes CA and OH2, Escherichia coli O157:H7 933 and 931, Salmonella enteritidis FDA and Salmonella typhimurium E21274. Among these strains S. aureus 485, L. monocytogenes CA, E, coli O157:H7 933 and S...
Peroxidation of membrane lipids in minimally processed cucumbers packaged under modified atmospheres Karakas, Barcin; Yıldız, Fatih (Elsevier BV, 2007-01-01) The effect of storage conditions and physical tissue damage on membrane peroxidation in minimally processed cucumber tissue was investigated. Lipid peroxidation in samples stored under modified atmospheric packaging (MAP) and in covered Petri dishes (non-MAP) were determined by the FOX2 and TBARS assays. The initial level of lipid hydroperoxides and TBARS were found as 1.44-2.00 and 0.11-0.20 nmol/g, respectively. The levels of lipid hydroperoxides increased by five- to sixfold in chilled non-MAP tissues ov...
