Quince seed powder (QSP) is known to exhibit emulsification properties and could be used as a natural emulsifier in colloidal food systems. In this study, emulsion-based alginate hydrogels were formulated using QSP and xanthan gum (XG) as stabilizers. The objective of the study was to show the emulsifying power of QSP in emulsions and their hydrogels using Time Domain (TD) NMR Relaxometry and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Rheology and mean particle size measurements for emulsions and scanning electron microscope (SEM) experiments for hydrogels were further conducted as complementary methods. QSP containing emulsions were found to have longer T2 relaxation times than XG samples (p < 0.05). Addition of either QSP or XG produced a more pseudoplastic flow behavior (p < 0.05) on the emulsions. Relaxation times were also obtained by MR images through T2 maps. Relaxation decay curves showed the presence of two proton compartments in hydrogels; protons associated with the polymer matrix and protons interacting with the oil phase. The contribution of the first proton pools was the largest in QSP hydrogels confirmed by the lowest standard deviation in the T2 maps. This behavior was explained by the emulsification ability of QSP. Results showed that NMR Relaxometry and MR images could be used to understand the emulsifying nature of QSP and many other hydrocolloids.

Investigating the effect of quince seed powder on alginate hydrogels by magnetic resonance Alaçık Develioğlu, İrem; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Department of Food Engineering (2019) Quince seed powder (QSP) and xanthan gum (XG) based oil in water emulsions were prepared with different formulations. Whey protein isolate (WPI) and sodium alginate (AL) were also combined with QSP and XG to explore possible synergistic effects. Sunflower oil was used as the dispersed phase. Emulsions were analyzed through rheology, particle size and low field 1H NMR measurements. Emulsions containing QSP or XG, WPI and AL were gelled via crosslinking with calcium (Ca2+) ions. Gels were characterized mainly...
Characterization of emulsion stabilization properties of quince seed extract as a new source of hydrocolloid Kırtıl, Emrah; Öztop, Halil Mecit (2016-07-01) The capability of seed extracts in stabilizing emulsions has particularly received interest in recent years. Upon soaking quince seeds into water, biopolymers inside the seeds are extracted to water, forming mucilage. This study investigates the physical stability, rheology and microstructure of oil (sunflower oil) in water emulsions, stabilized by 2% (w/v) whey protein isolate with varying concentrations of xanthan and quince seed gum. Quince seed gum resulted in emulsions with smaller low-shear viscositie...
Ion exchangers in the recovery of tartaric acid from aqueous solutions Başaran, Tolga Yener; Öztin, Osman Cevdet; Department of Chemical Engineering (2006) Tartaric acid is a dicarboxylic acid naturally present in grapes, and has many application areas with its salts. It can be produced synthetically, manufactured as a by-product in wine industry, or can be recovered by electrodialysis and solvent extraction methods. Since, ion exchange is one of the oldest processing techniques for the recovery and purification of valuable materials, it can be applied to obtain this valuable organic acid. In this study it is aimed to investigate the effects of resin basicity,...
Enzymatic hydrolysis of fruit peels and other lignocellulosic biomass as a source of sugar for fermentation Poçan, Pelin; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Hamamcı, Haluk; Department of Food Engineering (2015) In this study, enzymatic hydrolysis of corn cobs, orange and pomegranate peels were evaluated. For the hydrolysis of corn cobs, effect of alkaline pretreatment was examined and it was found that glucose and reducing sugar yield (%) for the pretreated corn cobs increased from 7% to 21.5% and 14% to 33.6% respectively. Effect of cellobiase loading on hydrolysis efficiency was also investigated. It was observed that when cellobiase was added to hydrolysate in addition to cellulase, glucose and total reducing s...
Formulation and characterization of clove and thyme oil emulsions Tonyalı Karslı, Gökcem; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Şahin, Serpil; Department of Food Engineering (2021-2-10) Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds obtained from various parts of plants such as flowers, bark, stems, and roots. They have been used in medicine, cosmetics, and food science since ancient times due to their antimicrobial, antioxidant, and therapeutic properties. Especially in recent times, negative impressions about synthetic additives have increased the use of essential oils in the food industry. The aim of this study is to produce and characterize emulsions with thyme and clove essential oils ...
