Frankfurters are categorised as ready to eat meat products and are prepared by using different meat sources including beef, chicken, turkey or pork or mixtures of them. Due to cost and feasibility, it is very common to adulterate beef-, chicken- and turkey-based frankfurters with pork meat. Since pork is not consumed by some part of the population due to religion, it is important to identify pork frankfurters based on easy quality control methods. In this study, NMR Relaxometry was used to differentiate four different frankfurter types based on their relaxation times. Relaxation measurements were conducted on three permanent field benchtop NMR spectrometers (13.52/20.34/22.35MHz) and also using an FFC Relaxometer at a frequency range of 40kHz-8.86MHz. Physical properties of frankfurters such as moisture and solid fat contents, water activity (a(w)) and hardness values were also measured. Results showed that among the permanent field systems, 22.34MHz was the best to differentiate frankfurters based on both T-1 and T-2 relaxation times. FFC experiments also showed that the dependence of T-1 with respect to frequency follows a well fitted power law behaviour throughout the whole frequency range (R-2>0.97) and the highest difference on T-1 was observed at the lowest frequency of 40kHz. Thus the results of the study showed that NMR Relaxometry has the potential to discriminate frankfurters of different meat origin. Further studies are needed to detect the authenticity of the type of mixture in frankfurters.

Effects of brine injection ingredients and parameters on the quality of chicken breast and quail
Ayduğan, Kaan; Yıldız, Fatih; Department of Food Engineering (2002)
Effects of different ingredients, injection levels, and massaging process are investigated upon meat water holding properties by different meat types in meat products processed with brine injection. An experimental process cycle was established to investigate brine injection pro cess. Experimental process constituted brine injection, massaging, maturation, packaging, and cooking steps. Experiments were applied in chicken breast and quail meat. 1%, 2 % sodium- tripolyphospate(STPP) solutions with constant 2%...
Thermal characteristics and kinetics of crude oils and SARA fractions
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Elsevier BV, 2013-10-10)
In this study, two Turkish crude oils from southeastern part of Turkey and their saturate, aromatic and resin fractions were analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The experiments were performed at three different heating rates (5, 10, 15 degrees C/min) under air atmosphere. Two different reaction regions were observed from thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermogravimetry (DTG) curves due to the oxidative degradation of crude oil components. From TGA curves, it was detected that the heavier fract...
Use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for rapid comparative analysis of Bacillus and Micrococcus isolates
Garip, Sebnem; Gözen, Ayşe Gül; Severcan, FERİDE (Elsevier BV, 2009-04-15)
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...
Utilization of lentil flour as a biopolymer source for the development of edible films
Aydogdu, AYÇA; Kırtıl, Emrah; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Aydogdu, Yildirim (2018-06-15)
Lentils are one of the cheapest and most nutritional protein sources for vegetarians. Our objective in this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using lentil flour as a raw material for the development of edible films and to investigate the effects of the glycerol concentration (C-g=1%, 1.5%, and 2%) and process temperature (T-p; 70 and 90 degrees C) on the physical properties of these films. The films were characterized via their density; water solubility; thermal, morphological, and chemical character...
The effects of microfluidization on rheological and textural properties of gluten-free corn breads
OZTURK, Oguz Kaan; Mert, Behiç (2018-03-01)
This study presents the potential of microfluidization as a value adding process to corn gluten meal (CGM), which is often used as animal feed and is underutilized in food industry. In this study, we aimed to improve water holding ability of corn gluten and to investigate possibility of using this zein-rich byproduct as the main ingredient in gluten-free bread formulations. For this reason, microfluidization as a milling process for CGM, and its effects on rheological and textural properties of gluten-free ...
