Preservation of fresh produce by drying dates back to ancient times and is still an indispensible technique. Conventional drying Of fruits and vegetables is often accompanied by changes in color, texture, and taste. Suitable pretreatments can improve the drying process by reducing the drying time, yielding higher-quality products, and energy savings. In this Study, two varieties of apples, Amasya and red delicious, green beans and carrots were pretreated with high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) at different pressure-time-temperature combinations (100-300 MPa for 5-45 min at 20 and 35 degrees C) prior to drying. The drying experiments were carried out by using a hot-air tunnel dryer at different temperatures (27-85 degrees C) and air velocities of 0.4 and 0.8 m/s with constant external conditions. Improving the drying conditions by increasing the drying temperature generally masked the effect of HHP pretreatment on drying rate. Generally, pressures Of More than 100 MPa caused cell permeabilization resulting in higher drying rates. Among 14 models, the modified Page model was found to best explain the drying behaviors and model constants were evaluated accordingly. The Tukey Multiple comparison test was applied on characteristic drying times to evaluate the relative effects of different pretreatments and drying conditions. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Evaluation of selected kaolins as raw materials for the Turkish cement and concrete industry Aras, A.; Albayrak, M.; Arıkan, Mehmet Fırat; Sobolev, K. (Mineralogical Society, 2007-6) <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Turkey has a long tradition (starting with prehistoric civilizations) and experience in exploring for raw clay materials and processing them into ceramic products. Many of these products, such as tiles and sanitary ware, are manufactured for domestic and export markets. Kaolin is one of the raw materials of major importance for the ceramic and paper industry, as well as for a number of auxiliary applications. There is ongoing interest in applying kaolin in the constr...
Confronting the clinical relevance of biocide induced antibiotic resistance (BIOHYPO) Yetiş, Ülkü(2012-11-20) Biocides have been in use for hundreds of years for antisepsis, disinfection and preservation. Despite this widespread and ever increasing use most bacterial and fungal species remain susceptible to biocides. The dramatic increase and spread of resistance to antibiotics linked to reports of co- and cross-resistance between antibiotics and biocides raised speculations on potential hazard of biocide use. The overarching question which BIOHYPO is aimed to address is: has the use of biocides contributed to the ...
The Effects of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment on shelf life and quality parameters of conventionally produced boza Ilgaz, Nuran Nisa; Bozoğlu, Faruk; Alpas, Hami; Department of Food Engineering (2014) Nowadays, fermented products constitute an important part of the ready to eat products all around the world. A traditional fermented beverage Boza is produced with different formulations and techniques in different countries. Boza is mostly produced and consumed during winter in Turkey due to high energy and nutritional value. Traditionally produced Boza with no thermal process applications is sold in market, therefore, has a short shelf life even kept refrigerated. The aim of this study is to investigate e...
Investigation of surface properties of quince seed extract and assessment of its performance as a novel polymeric surfactant Kırtıl, Emrah; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Department of Food Engineering (2020-12-30) The use of sustainable ingredients from natural sources has shown an increase in recent years. For stabilization of dispersions, proteins and polysaccharides are increasingly being used in combination for their synergistic properties. Various studies have focused on developing biopolymers that merge the functions of proteins and polysaccharides in a single molecule. Quince seed extract (QSE) is a natural biopolymer that display this exceptional attribute in its native state. However, the literature is still...
Investigation of the growth and operational conditions for the enrichment of Chlorella vulgaris and its use in anaerobic digestate treatment Subaşı, Irmak; Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande; Department of Environmental Engineering (2022-2-11) Recently, microalgae have proved its prosperity in wastewater treatment technologies with high nutrient removal efficiency and robustness. Thus, the aim of this master thesis focused to investigate the optimum conditions for enrichment of Chlorella vulgaris under autotrophic and mixotrophic conditions and to research the treatment of anaerobic digestate with C. Vulgaris. In this thesis study, C. Vulgaris culture was first enriched under autotrophic conditions ammonium-N. The optimum illumination period of ...
