The effects of different gums and gum blends addition on crumb structure of gluten-free breads were studied by X-ray microtomography. The gums used were xanthan, guar, locust bean (LBG), agar, methylcellulose (MC), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) and the gum blends were xanthan-guar and xanthan-LBG. Porosity, number, average size, aspect ratio and roundness of pores were used as parameters to describe the internal structure of the crumbs. Characteristics of the crumb structure were related to the hardness, cohesiveness and springiness of breads. Gluten-free breads prepared with the addition of MC, agar and no additives had the highest porosity values with the lowest number of pores, which would be indicating a non-uniform crumb structure with large pores. There was a negative correlation between porosity and number of pores (r = -0.90) and a positive correlation between porosity and average size of pores (r = 0.80). Lowest porosity, lowest average pores area and the highest number of pores were observed on gluten-free breads prepared with the addition of xanthan, CMC, xanthan-guar, xanthan-LBG and HPMC. The higher number of smaller pores is associated with a finer crumb structure. Data showed that the hardness values of breads were positively correlated with porosity (r =0.87) and average area of pores (r = 0.87) and negatively correlated with the number of pores (r = -0.92). On the other hand, cohesiveness and springiness values of breads were negatively correlated with porosity (r = -0.86 and -0.88), average area of pores (r = -0.81 and -0.90) and positively correlated with number of pores (r = 0.89 and 0.88).

The effects of gums on macro and micro-structure of breads baked in different ovens
Ozkoc, Semin Ozge; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (Elsevier BV, 2009-12-01)
In this study, the effects of gums on macro and micro-structure of breads baked in different ovens (infrared (IR)-microwave combination and conventional) were investigated by the help of image and SEM analysis, respectively. The gums used were xanthan, guar, K-carrageenan and xanthan-guar blend. The gums were added to the formulation at 0.5% concentration. As a control, no gum added formulations were used. Results of Image analysis demonstrated that xanthan-guar gum blend addition improved bread quality wit...
EFFECTS OF SEMPERFRESH AND JONFRESH FRUIT COATINGS ON POSTSTORAGE QUALITY OF SATSUMA MANDARINS
BAYINDIRLI, L; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; KAMADAN, K (Wiley, 1995-11-01)
Mandarins were coated with SemperSresh(TM) and Jonfresh(TM) edible coatings. The weight gain of mandarins after application of Jonfresh and Semperfresh coatings was 0.8% and 0.6% respectively. Weight loss, respiration rate, ascorbic acid, soluble solids (brix) and acidity changes of coated mandarins were compared with uncoated mandarins during storage at 20C and 40% RH for 4 weeks. Semperfresh(TM) and Jonfresh(TM) coatings delayed the ripening of mandarins. Both of the coatings were effective to reduce the ...
A study on the effects of different gums on dielectric properties and quality of breads baked in infrared-microwave combination oven
Keskin, Semin Ozge; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-01-01)
In this study, the effects of different gums on dielectric properties of doughs and breads baked in infrared-microwave combination oven were investigated. In addition, the quality parameters of breads formulated with different gums baked in infrared-microwave combination oven were determined. The gums used were xanthan, guar, xanthan-guar blend and kappa-carrageenan. The gums were added to the formulation at 0.5% concentration. The dielectric properties and quality parameters of breads baked in infrared-mic...
EFFECTS OF SEMPERFRESH(TM) AND JOHNFRESH(TM) FRUIT COATINGS ON POSTSTORAGE QUALITY OF ANKARA PEARS
Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (Wiley, 1994-08-01)
Pears were coated with different concentrations of Semperfresh or with Johnfresh edible coatings after storage for five months at 0C to determine the effects of coatings on poststorage quality. Coating levels were effective for extending the poststorage life and delaying ripening. Both Semperfresh and Johnfresh treated pears had better color, firmness, ascorbic acid, titratable acidity, soluble solid retention than control pears. Although Semperfresh was effective for the reduction of respiration and weight...
Investigation of quality and staling of breads with different gum formulations baked in different ovens
Özkoç, Semin Özge; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2008)
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of different gums and their combination on quality and staling of breads baked in different ovens. In the first part of the study, the effects of gums (xanthan, guar, k-carrageenan, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, locust bean gum and their blends) on quality of breads baked in infrared-microwave combination and conventional ovens were investigated. In addition, macro and micro-structure, dielectric and thermal properties and acrylamide content of bread...
