Microwave frying of osmotically dehydrated potatoes was optimized by using response surface methodology. Osmotic dehydration was applied prior to microwave frying in order to reduce oil uptake and to evaluate the effect of osmotic dehydration on quality of microwave fried potatoes. Moisture content, oil content, hardness and color of the fried potatoes were used as quality parameters. Microwave power level (400, 550, 700 W), frying time (1.5, 2.0, 2.5 min) and osmotic dehydration time (15, 30, 45 min) were the independent variables in the study. Osmotic dehydration treatment was conducted using 20% (w/w) sodium chloride solution at 30 degrees C. Moisture content of the fried potatoes decreased whereas oil content, hardness and Delta E value of potatoes increased with increasing frying time and microwave power level. The increase in osmotic dehydration time reduced moisture content and oil content and increased hardness of fried potatoes. The optimum condition was found as frying at 400 W microwave power level for 1.5 min after 39 min of osmotic dehydration time.

Optimization of bread baking in a halogen lamp-microwave combination oven by response surface methodology Demirekler, P; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-09-01) The main objective of this study was to optimize the baking conditions of bread in a halogen lamp-microwave combination oven. Independent variables were the baking time (4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, and 6 min), the power of the microwaves (20, 30, 40, 50, and 60%), and the power of the upper and lower halogen lamps (40, 50, 60, 70, and 80%). The quality parameters measured were the weight loss, the color, the specific volume, the porosity, and the texture profile of the breads. For the optimization, the response surface...
Optimization of halogen lamp-microwave combination baking of cakes: a response surface methodology study Sevimli, KM; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-07-01) The main objective of this study was to optimize processing conditions during halogen lamp-microwave combination baking of cake by using response surface methodology. The independent variables were the power of the upper halogen lamp (50, 60, and 70%), the power of the lower halogen lamp (50, 60, and 70%), the power of the microwaves (30, 40, and 50%), and the baking time (4, 5, and 6 min). Weight loss, specific volume, color, and the texture profile of the cakes were determined. The upper halogen lamp powe...
Optimization of microwave baking of model layer cakes Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Bayindirli, L (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2000-01-01) Response surface methodology was used to optimize the formulation of microwave-baked cakes. The independent variables were water content, emulsifier content baking time, oven power, shortening content and starch type. The quality factors evaluated were specific gravity of batter and volume index, uniformity index and tenderness of the crumb. Constraints for quality factors were obtained by conventional baking of American Association of Cereal Chemists high-ratio cake formulation. Multiple contour plots show...
Inactivation of peroxidase and lipoxygenase in carrots, green beans, and green peas by combination of high hydrostatic pressure and mild heat treatment AKYOL, Cagdas; Alpas, Hami; Bayındırlı, Alev (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-12-01) The efficiency of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) with the combination of mild heat treatment on peroxidase (POD) and lipoxygenase (LOX) inactivation in carrots, green beans, and green peas was investigated. In the first part of the study, the samples were pressurized under 250-450 MPa at 20-50 degrees C for 15-60 min. In the second part, two steps treatments were performed as water blanching at 40-70 degrees C for 15 and 30 min after pressurization at 250 MPa and 20 degrees C for 15-60 min. Carrot POD was ...
Modeling high pressure inactivation of Escherichia coli and Listeria innocua in whole milk Buzrul, Sencer; Alpas, Hami; Largeteau, Alain; DEMAZEAU, Gerard (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-06-01) The survival curves of Escherichia coli and Listeria innocua inactivated by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) were obtained at room temperature (similar to 22 degrees C) and at five pressure levels (400, 450, 500, 550 and 600 MPa) in whole milk. These curves were described by the Weibull model and parameters of this model were reduced from two to one with slight loss of goodness-of-fit. The logarithm of the time constant parameter (delta) of the reduced Weibull model was described with respect to high pressur...
