The nature of pore spaces in breads baked using various heating modes (microwave-infrared (MIR), microwave jet impingement (MJET) and jet impingement (JET)) were characterized in terms of total porosity, fraction of closed, blind and flow-through pores, and pore size distributions using several novel and old techniques (liquid extrusion porosimetry, scanned image analysis, pycnometry, volume displacement method and scanning electron microscopy or SEM). For the breads studies here, a very significant pore size distribution exists covering diameters of a few microns to several thousand microns. It appears that the pore size distribution is bimodal and only a combination of techniques can provide comprehensive information, i.e., any one technique cannot cover the large range of pore size, total porosity and flow-through vs. closed pores. A significant fraction of the pores was found to be closed. Breads baked in JET had the highest total porosity followed by MJET and MIR. Other measurements on breads baked in JET also lay on one end of the spectrum (either smallest or largest), which is consistent with SEM pictures where JET baked breads looked quite different from the ones baked in other ovens.

Real-time benchtop NMR spectroscopy for the online monitoring of sucrose hydrolysis Soyler, Alper; Bouillaud, Dylan; Farjon, Jonathan; Giraudeau, Patrick; Öztop, Halil Mecit (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01) The online monitoring of chemical reactions by using benchtop Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has become increasingly attractive for the past few years. The use of quantitative online NMR spectroscopy is a promising alternative to traditional analytical methods with its rapid, quantitative and non-invasive nature that makes it applicable to complex and diverse biochemical mixtures like food systems. In this study, sucrose hydrolysis by invertase was chosen as a model reaction for online monito...
Transport and related properties of breads baked using various heating modes Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil; Rakesh, Vineet (Elsevier BV, 2007-02-01) Physical properties of breads during baking were measured using three different heating modes of microwave plus infrared (MIR), microwave plus jet impingement (MJET) and jet impingement (JET) in two different commercially available microwave combination ovens. Breads baked in JET oven were significantly different from the breads baked in other ovens with respect to their specific volume and moisture content. Transient values of dielectric constant, dielectric loss factor, specific bulk volume, porosity, the...
Image Analysis Based Quantification of Bacterial Volume Change with High Hydrostatic Pressure Pilavtepe-Celik, M.; BALABAN, M. O.; Alpas, Hami; Yousef, A. E. (Wiley, 2008-11-01) Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of Staphylococcus aureus 485 and Escherichia coli O157:H7 933 were taken after pressure treatments at 200 to 400 MPa. Software developed for this purpose was used to analyze SEM Images and to calculate the change in view area and volume of cells. Significant increase in average cell view area and volume for S. aureus 485 was observed in response to pressure treatment at 400 MPa. Cell view area for E. coli O157:H7 933 significantly increased at 325 MPa, the maximum p...
Visualisation of cakes differing in oil content with magnetic resonance imaging Kırtıl, Emrah; Aydogdu, AYÇA; Bulut, Elif Yildiz; Tatar, Betul Cilek; Öztop, Halil Mecit (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive imaging technique that can visualise samples' interior by using the signal coming from mobile protons. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of oil content and peanut/raisin addition on cake quality and to illustrate the power of MRI in analysis of moisture and oil distribution. For this purpose, MR images were acquired with a spin echo sequence and relaxation times T-1 and T-2, and moisture content and firmness of cakes were measured. High oil c...
Investigation of dielectric properties of different cake formulations during microwave and infrared-microwave combination baking Sakiyan, Ozge; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Sahin, Serpil; Meda, Venkatesh (Wiley, 2007-05-01) Dielectric properties can be used to understand the behavior of food materials during microwave processing. Dielectric properties influence the level of interaction between food and high frequency electromagnetic energy. Dielectric properties are, therefore, important in the design of foods intended for microwave preparation. In this study, it was aimed to determine the variation of dielectric properties of different cake formulations during baking in microwave and infrared-microwave combination oven. In ad...
