Horse meat and its products can be considered as a food with a high nutritional value. However, due to cases of economically motivated food adulteration by the intentional addition of horse meat beef products in recent years, horse meat has become a controversial issue. Consumer confidence in meat products and the meat industry has diminished, although consumers consider the differences between the food content and the label as the major issue rather than the safety and nutritional characteristics of horse meat. The elaboration of meat products from horse meat (e.g. "cecina", dry-cured loin, salami, bressaola and pate) is also an interesting alternative to other traditional meat products such as dry-cured pork hams, pork sausages and liver pates. In this review, the technological aspects, safety and storage stability of meat products elaborated from horse meat will be addressed by highlighting the nutritional and sensory aspects of these meat products. We aim to improve the existing knowledge about horse meat in the view of recent scandals.

Challenges in dried whey powder production: Quality problems
Özel, Barış; McClements, David Julian; Arikan, Cagatay; Kaner, Ozlem; Öztop, Halil Mecit (2022-10-01)
© 2022 Elsevier LtdWhey is a high nutritional value by-product of the dairy industry. It is generally produced in large quantities and its disposal as wastewater poses environmental risks. For this reason, whey streams are used for the production of value-added products such as dried whey powders. However, there are several challenges related to whey processing that lead to low powder yield and quality, especially caking. These challenges can be addressed by optimization of product formulation and processin...
A general production and financial planning model for integrated poultry organizations
Satır, Benhür; Kırca, Ömer; Department of Industrial Engineering (2003)
For the last two decades, demand for poultry meat has been soared, since it is healthier and less costly than its substitutes. In order to meet this increasing demand, integrated poultry organizations have been established all over the world. Usually, an integrated poultry organization has the divisions of breeder coops, incubation house, broiler coops, feed mill, slaughterhouse and marketing. This complex structure makes production planning activities more difficult for integrated poultry organizations. Th...
Characterization and evaluation of emulsifying properties of high pressure microfluidized and pH shifted corn gluten meal
Ozturk, Oguz Kaan; Mert, Behiç (2019-03-01)
This study presents a potential application for adding value to corn gluten meal, which is often used as animal feed and underutilized in food industry. This study is aimed to improve water holding ability of zein-rich by product corn gluten and investigate possibility of using it as an emulsifier. The potential use of microfluidization (500-1250 bar and 25 degrees C) and pH shifting (to pH6, 8, and 10) as a modification process for corn gluten meal and their effects on emulsifying properties were investiga...
Extraction and physicochemical characterization of insect oils obtained from Acheta Domesticus & Tenebrio Molitor
Uğur, Ahmet Erdem; Alpas, Hami; Department of Food Engineering (2019)
Edible insects have become one of the most attracted and attention-grabbing alternative food sources in recent years due to the constituents that include proteins, oils, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. The goal of this study is to explore insect oils in terms of physicochemical properties to help their utilization in future against the possible scarcity of the resources in the world, and the most important point is to help to enable these valuable edible insect species as one of the main nutrient sour...
Physical and chemical characterization of sesame seed protein
Köysüren, Begüm; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Bekir Gökçen , Mazı; Department of Food Engineering (2020-9)
Plant-based food proteins have become very popular and valuable due to increase trend of following a vegan diet and preferring to consume less meat in terms of sustainability reasons. The most popular plant based proteins are soya bean, quinoa, lentil, peanut and chia seed proteins. Sesame seed also has a potential to be an alternative protein source. However, it is a known fact that there is no extended study about sesame seed proteins in the literature although sesame seed contains significant amoun...
