This study was undertaken to search for potential use of crude bacterial pectinase enzyme produced from Bacillus subtilis grown on hazelnut shell hydrolysate in clarification of carrot juice and to optimize the enzyme load, pH and time using the Box-Behnken response surface methodology (RSM). The carrot juice was treated with the crude pectinase enzyme (5.60 U mL(-1)) at different concentrations (0.1-0.5%), pH (4-7), and time (2-6 h). The obtained enzyme was also compared with commercial fungal pectinase at identical conditions. RSM provided optimal clarification conditions of 0.5% (w/v) enzyme load, 7.0 pH, and 6 h of time estimating 100% clarity, whose experimental counterpart was 94.47 +/- 0.01%. High values of coefficient of determination (R-2 = 0.9631), predicted R-2 (0.8989) and insignificant lack-of-fit (0.12) also showed that the model was successful in predicting % clarity for various combinations. This study also indicated that crude bacterial pectinase providing about 95% clarity is superior to commercial fungal pectinase, which gave 78% clarity under tested conditions, in terms of clarification ability for carrot juice.

Biosorption of lead(II) ions from aqueous solution by peanut shells: Equilibrium, thermodynamic and kinetic studies Tasar, Seyda; Kaya, Fatih; Ozer, Ahmet (2014-06-01) In this study, the biosorption of Pb(II) ions onto peanut shells from an aqueous solution was studied in a batch system as a function of temperature, pH of the solution, contact time, initial concentration of Pb(II) ions, and peanut shell concentration. It was determined that the biosorption capacity of the peanut shells decreased as the temperature was increased. Several kinetic models were used to determine the biosorption mechanism. It was determined that the biosorption system obeyed the pseudo-second-o...
Enzymatic extraction of activated sludge extracellular polymers and implications on bioflocculation Sesay, Ml; Özcengiz, Gülay; Sanin, Faika Dilek (Elsevier BV, 2006-04-01) This study examines enzyme hydrolysis, a mild, effective, but a rarely used method of extracellular polymer extraction, in removing polymers from mixed culture activated sludge flocs. Two carbohydrate specific enzymes (a-amylase and cellulase) and a protein specific enzyme (proteinase) are used during the study. First, the kinetic aspect is investigated, then enzyme dose optimization is carried out on laboratory grown activated sludge samples cultured at solids retention times (SRT) of 4 and 20 days. A more...
New route for modifying cellulosic fibres with fatty acids and its application to polyethylene/jute fibre composites DOĞAN, Şengül Dilem; Tayfun, Umit; DOĞAN, Mehmet (2016-08-01) The main aim of this study was the modification of jute fibres with stearic acid using new route called azide method. The surface changes after modification process were characterized by attenuated total reflectance - Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy analyses. It was shown that the stearic acid was bonded to JF using azide method and the surface modification through azide method did not deteriorate the surface properties of JF. Repres...
Optimisation of antioxidant activity of grape cane extracts using response surface methodology Karacabey, Erkan; Mazza, Giuseppe (2010-03-01) Solid-liquid extraction and response surface methodology were used to optimise conditions for the antioxidant activity of grape cane extracts. The independent processing variables were ethanol concentration, temperature and solvent to solid ratio. Ethanol concentration and temperature significantly affected antioxidant activity measured by the Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) assay and the oxygen radical absorbance capacity using fluorescein (ORAC(FL)) method (p 0.05). Antioxidant activity of ...
HYPERTHERMOPHILIC HYDROGEN PRODUCTION BY GEOGLOBUS ACETIVORANS IN MICROBIAL ELECTROLYSIS CELLS Kaş, Aykut; Yılmazel Tokel, Yasemin Dilşad; Department of Environmental Engineering (2021-9-10) Utilization of hyperthermophilic microorganisms was suggested to improve reaction rates and insoluble pollutant degradation and minimize the risk of contamination in bioelectrochemical systems (BESs). So far only a small group of hyperthermophilic microorganisms were identified, which show the ability to donate electrons to solid electrodes in BESs and here we present a new culture that fits to this description. The iron reducing archaeal culture Geoglobus acetivorans, originally isolated from a hydrotherma...
