D-Allulose (a monosaccharide and C3 epimer of fructose), one of the common rare sugars is getting attention due to its low caloric values. In this study, DAllulose was used as a replacement of sucrose at different ratios (D-Allulose/Sucrose: 35/0, 20/15, 10/25, 0/35) to formulate pectin-based soft confectionery gels. Soy protein isolate was also added to increase the protein content. Physical properties, such as hardness, moisture content, pH, and color, were measured for the gels. Higher hardness values were obtained for the soy protein containing gels due to pectin-soy protein interaction (p < 0.05). Also, higher moisture content was observed in soy protein containing gels (p < 0.05). In addition, nuclear magnetic resonance T-2 relaxation times were measured at low field (similar to 0.5 T) to determine how the water distribution in the samples changed and to observe how D-Allulose affected the polymer-water interactions. The study also showed that the presence of D-Allulose increased the crystallization tendency (% crystallinity of 7.9) of the pectin gels. X-ray diffraction results showed the D-allulose peaks at 33.76 and 48.68 degrees theta. Morphologies of the gels were also examined by scanning electron microscope. Sugar type and soy protein isolate addition were found to have significant impact on the gel formulations.

Characterization of different double-emulsion formulations based on food-grade emulsifiers and stabilizers
PULATSU, Ezgi Tekin; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (Informa UK Limited, 2018-01-01)
This study focused on the preparation and characterization of water-in-oil-in-water (W1/O/W2)-type double emulsions designed by food-grade emulsifiers and stabilizers. The primary objective of this study was to compare different emulsion formulations in terms of droplet size, rheology, and stability and to reduce the amount of polyglycerol poliricinoleate (PGPR). To achieve these goals, PGPR and a PGPR-lecithin blend were utilized in the formation of the primary phase (W1/O), while varying concentrations of...
ON THE FICKIAN DIFFUSION OF ORGANIC PENETRANTS IN GLASSY-POLYMERS
TOSUN, I; Yılmaz, Levent (Wiley, 1982-01-01)
Fickian diffusion of organic penetrants in glassy polymers is formulated as a moving‐boundary problem, and the effect of concentration‐dependent diffusivity on the concentration distribution is investigated. The solutions obtained for concentration‐dependent and constant diffusivity cases are compared. The results show that the concentration distribution curves differ both quantitatively and qualitatively. It is concluded that the sharp advancing boundary between the glassy and rubbery regions is due not on...
Effect of ZnO type and concentration on the mophology, thermal, and mechanical properties of poly(ether ester)/ZnO composites
ÇELEBİ, HANDE; Bayram, Göknur; DOĞAN, AYDIN (Wiley, 2013-09-15)
Poly(ether ester) (PEE) copolymers were synthesized in a two-stage process involving transesterification and polycondensation. The synthesized copolymer and the zinc oxide (ZnO) were used in composite preparation by melt compounding. The influence of ZnO type and concentration on the morphology, thermal and mechanical properties of the composites were studied. DSC and XRD analyses indicated that crystallinity of composites was slightly reduced with ZnO content. Homogeneous dispersion of fillers in the polym...
A new amperometric cholesterol biosensor based on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxypyrrole)
Turkarslan, Ozlem; Kayahan, Senem; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2009-03-02)
Cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) was physically entrapped in poly(3,4-ethylenedioxypyrrole) (PEDOP) to construct an amperometric cholesterol biosensor. The responses of the enzyme electrodes were measured via monitoring oxidation current of H2O2 at +0.7V in the absence of a mediator. Kinetic parameters, operational and storage stabilities, pH and temperature dependencies were determined. K-m, I-max and sensitivity (I-max/K-m) were calculated as 3.4 mM, 34 mu A cm(-2) and 10 mu A mM(-1) cm(-2), respectively. The m...
Characterization and Electrical Conductivity of Poly(ethylene glycol)/Polyacrylonitrile/Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Composites
Aqeel, Salem M.; Kucukyavuz, Zuhal (Wiley, 2011-01-05)
Polymer blends based on poly(ethylene glycol), polyacrylonitrile, and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were prepared by the solvent cast technique from the dispersion of the MWNTs in the concentration range 0-3.45 wt %. The interaction of the MWNTs with the polymer blend was confirmed by a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy study. The thermal properties of the polymer blend with the MWNTs were carried out by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was evident from DSC that the p...
