Tobacco stalk (TS), a major agricultural waste in the Black Sea region of Turkey, was used for the production of xylooligosaccharides (XOs). It contains about 22 g/100 g xylan whose composition was determined as 93.5 g/100 g xylose, 6.54 g/100 g glucose and 11.2 g/100 g uronic acid after complete acid hydrolysis. XO production was performed by enzymatic and acid hydrolysis of xylan which was obtained by alkali extraction from tobacco stalk. In enzyme hydrolysis, xylan was hydrolyzed using a xylanase preparation and the effects of pH, temperature, hydrolysis period, substrate and enzyme concentrations on the xylooligosaccharide yield and degree of polymerization were investigated. For enzymatic hydrolysis under optimum conditions XO yield with respect to tobacco stalk xylan (TSX) was 8.2 g/100 g after 8 h and 11.4 g/100 g after 24 h reaction period. In the acid hydrolysis, sulfuric acid was used and the hydrolyzate contained different amount of oligosaccharides and monosaccharides. For acid hydrolysis under optimum conditions, XO yield with respect to TSX was 13.0 g/100 g. Enzymatically obtained oligosaccharides were purified via ultrafiltration by using 10 and 3 kDa membranes. After a two-step membrane processing, the permeate containing mostly oligosaccharides was obtained.

Enzymatic production of xylooligosaccharides from cotton stalks
Akpinar, Ozlem; Ak, Ozlem; Kavas, Aysegul; Bakir, Ufuk; Yılmaz, Levent (2007-07-11)
Xylooligosaccharide (XO) production was performed from xylan, which was obtained by alkali extraction from cotton stalk, a major agricultural waste in Turkey. Enzymatic hydrolysis was selected to prevent byproduct formation such as xylose and furfural. Xylan was hydrolyzed using a commercial xylanase preparation, and the effects of pH, temperature, hydrolysis period, and substrate and enzyme concentrations on the XO yield and degree of polymerization (DP) were investigated. Cotton stalk contains about 21% x...
Evaluation of cotton stalk hydrolysate for xylitol production
Sapci, Burcu; AKPINAR, ÖZLEM; Bolukbasi, Ufuk; Yılmaz, Levent (2016-01-01)
Cotton stalk is a widely distributed and abundant lignocellulosic waste found in Turkey. Because of its rich xylose content, it can be a promising source for the production of xylitol. Xylitol can be produced by chemical or biotechnological methods. Because the biotechnological method is a simple process with great substrate specificity and low energy requirements, it is more of an economic alternative for the xylitol production. This study aimed to use cotton stalk for the production of xylitol with Candid...
Biochemical and Molecular Characterization of Strontium-resistant Environmental Isolates of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Sphingomonas paucimobilis
Ozer, Gamze; Ergene, Aysun; İçgen, Bülent (Informa UK Limited, 2013-03-13)
Strontium resistance was investigated in strains isolated from the river Kzlrmak which has been affected by industrial and agricultural heavy metal pollution from the surrounding facilities and domestic effluents from the city Krkkale, Turkey. Strontium-resistant isolates with a minimal inhibitory concentration of 2000mg L-1 were isolated and identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens and Sphingomonas paucimobilis. Both isolates were shown to be resistant to other heavy metals like aluminum, lithium, barium, nic...
Evaluation of the best management practices to control agricultural diffuse pollution in lake mogan watershed with swat model
Özcan, Zeynep; Alp, Emre; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Department of Environmental Engineering (2016)
Lake Mogan which is located in Gölbaşı County, Ankara, Turkey is one of the most important wetlands of Turkey and it was declared as Special Environmental Protection Region in 1990. Total area of semi-arid Lake Mogan watershed is 970 km2 and dry farming is practiced approximately in 40% of the basin. Therefore, agricultural diffuse source pollution is a serious concern in the watershed. In the context of this thesis, the effects of implementation of different agricultural best management practices on sedime...
Antioxidant capacities of Gundelia tournefortii L. extracts and inhibition on glutathione-S-transferase activity
Çoruh, Nursen; Ozgokce, F.; Iscan, M. (Elsevier BV, 2007-01-01)
Gundelia tournefortii L. is an important food source and a well-known medicinal plant in Eastern Anatolia. Therapeutic effects of medicinal plants are known to be closely related to their antioxidant capacities. Antioxidant activities of G. tournefortii, both for the aerial parts and seeds, were investigated by using both 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging and lipid peroxidation inhibition methods. The seeds were found to have higher antioxidant potential than the aerial, with IC50 valu...
