Milk has been the one of the main nutrient sources of human diet for centuries. Microbial studies on milk date back to the seventeenth century, when Kircher used a microscope, and observed the minute worms in milk. Two centuries later, in the1850s, Pasteur proved that the spoilage of milk resulting the sour taste was caused by microorganisms. Pasteur's discoveries on the effect of heat on undesirable microorganisms in beer and wine opened a new era in food science. Therefore, the process was named "pasteurization". In the following years of his invention, pasteurization was conducted in Germany and the U.S.A. (Jay, Modern food microbiology. Aspen Publishing, Gaithersburg, MD, 2000). Another breakthrough in milk safety was refrigeration, which became popular after the 1950s. With the advances in heat treatment and low temperature storage, shelf life of pasteurized milk had been increased significantly. Today, pasteurization, partial sterilization, refrigeration, dehydration, and fermentation are commonly used to increase the shelf life of milk and dairy products. Besides these traditional methods, there are also novel methods used to prevent dairy products from spoilage and pathogen contamination such as high pressure processing an UV light.

Effect of high hydrostatic pressure and heat treatment on antimicrobial protein stability, shelf-life, and rheological characteristics of donkey milk Köker, Alperen; Alpas, Hami; Öztürkoğlu-Budak, Şebnem; Department of Food Engineering (2021-11) Donkey milk has been gaining popularity due to its beneficial properties and similarity to human milk, however, since heat treatment lead to phase seperation and nutritional losses, it is consumed raw, which may cause health risks and limit its shelf life. High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) is a non-thermal food processing technique in which microbial inactivation can be obtained with minimum effects on fresh like properties of food product. This study aimed to investigate the effects of HHP, and heat treatmen...
Biochemical and genetic assessment of high value lipid production from local thermo-resistant green microalgae strain Akın, Dilan; Yücel, Ayşe Meral; Sönmez, Çağla; Department of Biotechnology (2017) Green microalgae are a rich source of lipids available for animal and human consumption and for an important form of bioenergy; biodiesel. Selection and genetic engineering of a microalgal strain for sustainable and low-cost biotechnological processes is of utmost importance. In this study, a novel thermo-resistant microalgae strain; Scenedesmus sp. METUNERGY1402 (ME02) was assessed for high-value lipid production via biochemical and genetic approaches. An optimized growth medium for efficient growth of Sce...
Molecular identification and typing of lactobacillus delbrueckii subspecies bulgaricus and streptococcus thermophilus Cebeci Aydın, Aysun; Gültekin, Güzin Candan; Department of Biochemistry (2008) Lactic acid bacteria are associated with preservation of foods, including milk, meat and vegetables. Yoghurt is produced by the cooperative action of two starter bacteria; S. thermophilus and L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus. In this study, identification and typing of yoghurt starter bacteria were aimed. Traditional home made yoghurts were collected from different areas of Turkey, identification of those isolates at species and subspecies level and typing at strain level were achieved using PCR based metho...
MICROBIAL-GROWTH KINETICS OF FED-BATCH FERMENTATIONS OZADALI, F; OZILGEN, M (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1988-09-01) Fed-batch fermenters are generally operated with the addition of small doses of nutrients, therefore the volume of the fermentation broth increases with time. Batch fermenters generally contain and almost constant volume of broth and a logistic equation has been commonly employed to simulate microbial growth in them. Mass balances were determined with fed-batch fermentation to obtain expressions which account for the effect of volume increase and the subsequent dilution of the biomass. A growth rate express...
Investigation of in-vitro digestive behavior of beef and poultry which are tenderized by enzymatic and acidic marination Baştürk, Bilge; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Özvural, Emin Burçin; Department of Food Engineering (2021-9-09) Meat contains valuable nutrients, exceptionally high-quality proteins that include all essential amino acids and vitamins and minerals for the human diet. Meat is mostly tenderized to make it more tasteful and palatable. The effects of tenderization on the physical, chemical, and microbiological changes in meat have been investigated in many studies. In this study, acetic acid, citric acid, lactic acid solutions, and a commercial meat tenderization solution were used to tenderize the red and white meat (bee...
