The physico-chemical changes occurring in Turkish White Cheese and the survival of Listeria innocua, total aerobic count (TAC) and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in artificially inoculated Turkish White Cheese during manufacture and storage periods (45 days), with respect to different contamination levels of L. innocua were investigated. Turkish White Cheese was manufactured by the short-set procedure in pilot-plant-sized vats in a commercial dairy plant. Pasteurized cow's milk was inoculated with L. innocua to a final level of 3.84 (low dose) and 7.12 (high dose) log(10) CFU/ml. Bacterial loads of inoculated milk, whey, post-ripened curd and post-salted cheese was determined during processing at 23 degrees C. Cheeses were stored in 16% saline solution at 4 degrees C up to 45 days. Samples were taken from each treatment and analyzed at 5-day intervals. Total reduction in viable cell numbers of L. innocua in Turkish White Cheese with each inoculum dose was approximately 2 log(10) cycles during the storage period with a first-order-rate of inactivation at 4 degrees C. Variations in initial number of LAB in L. innocua seeded cheeses after overnight pressing were observed as 3.84, 4.24, 5.85 log CFU/ml at conditions of high-dose, low-dose inoculation of L. innocua and without inoculation as control sample, respectively. The salt concentration, pH, starter activity and storage time were determined to be the main causes of this reduction in LAB. The results had shown that L. innocua was able to survive during the manufacture and storage due to inadequate pasteurization or post-process contamination. The storage period has been defined as a critical control point (CCP) for consumption of Turkish White Cheese and calculated to be at least 90 and 178 days at refrigeration temperature, in low and high inoculum doses of L. innocua, respectively, for a safe consumption. This study, which gives the result of behavior of low and high dose of Listeria monocytogenes during storage as CCP, can even guide the future risk assessment studies on Listeria in Turkish White Cheese.

Functional properties of microwave-treated wheat gluten Yalcin, Erkan; Sakiyan, Ozge; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Celik, Sueda; KÖKSEL, HAMİT (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-09-01) In this study, the effects of microwave treatments on solubility, foaming and emulsifying properties of gluten were investigated. The solubility of microwave-heated gluten proteins gradually decreased as the treatment time increased, at all power levels applied. The highest solubility values were obtained for gluten samples microwave treated at 50% power level. The lowest emulsifying capacity values were obtained with the samples heated at 100% power level at all treatment times. The emulsifying stability v...
Combined effect of high hydrostatic pressure treatment and hydrogen peroxide on Salmonella Enteritidis in liquid whole egg Isiker, G; Gültekin, Güzin Candan; Bayındırlı, Alev (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2003-09-01) The effects of high hydrostatic pressure treatment (HHP) of 250, 350, 450 MPa and hydrogen peroxide additions at different concentrations of 0.1, 0.5, 1% in liquid whole egg following high hydrostatic pressure treatment at 250 MPa at 20degreesC on Salmonella Enteritidis PT4 in liquid whole egg were investigated. At 20degreesC for 5 min treatment, 56.63 and 49.38% injury were determined for the treatment pressures of 250 and 350 MPa, respectively. Injury was not detected and total destruction of Salmonella E...
DETERMINATION OF OPTIMUM PH AND TEMPERATURE FOR PASTEURIZATION OF CITRUS JUICES BY RESPONSE-SURFACE METHODOLOGY Ülgen, Neşe; Özilgen, Mustafa (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1993-01-01) Optimization of microbial death, enzyme inactivation and vitamin C retention during pasteurization of pH-adjusted orange juice is discussed free of equipment-dependent parameters such as the heating lag. The pH-temperature optimum was determined by response surface methodology in the range of 65-degrees-C-75-degrees-C and pH 2.5 4.0. The results implied that there was no pectin-esterase activity below pH 3.5. Leuconostoc mesenteroides had its maximum and minimum thermal resistance at pH 3.5 and pH 2.7, resp...
Efficiency of pulse pressure treatment for inactivation of Escherichia coli and Listeria innocua in whole milk BUZRUL, Sencer; Alpas, Hami; LARGETEAU, Alain; DEMAZEAU, Gerard (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-05-01) Escherichia coli ATCC 11775 and Listeria innocua ATCC 33090 in whole milk were inactivated by single- and multi-pulsed (up to 10 pulses) high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatments. Both bacteria showed similar resistance to single- and multi-pulsed HHP. The efficiency of pulsed pressure treatment depends on the combination of holding time of each pulse and number of pulses. It was observed that multi-pulsed pressure treatment instead of traditional single-pulsed HHP could be used to pasteurize milk at a low...
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 ...
