The effect of storage conditions and physical tissue damage on membrane peroxidation in minimally processed cucumber tissue was investigated. Lipid peroxidation in samples stored under modified atmospheric packaging (MAP) and in covered Petri dishes (non-MAP) were determined by the FOX2 and TBARS assays. The initial level of lipid hydroperoxides and TBARS were found as 1.44-2.00 and 0.11-0.20 nmol/g, respectively. The levels of lipid hydroperoxides increased by five- to sixfold in chilled non-MAP tissues over 10 days. MAP with higher levels of oxygen was generally more effective in reducing the generation of lipid hydroperoxides and TBARS. The effect of dipping treatments using solutions containing CaCl2 and/or ascorbic acid on peroxidation were also investigated. Tissue hardness of MAP sealed samples increased for the first 3 days for all tissues but chilled tissues started to soften on the sixth day.

Effect of processing on buckwheat phenolics and antioxidant activity Şensoy, İlkay; Ho, Chi-Tang; Karwe, Mukund V. (Elsevier BV, 2006-01-01) The effect of processing on functional compounds in buckwheat was investigated. Extractions of buckwheat flour were carried out before and after roasting or extrusion. Folin-Ciocalteu assays indicated that processing did not cause any change in total phenolic content in buckwheat flour. Roasted (200 degrees C, 10 min) dark buckwheat flour exhibited an increase in non-polar compounds as well as polar compounds whereas extrusion exhibited increase only in polar compounds. Antioxidant activity test (DPPH) show...
Inactivation kinetics of Salmonella dublin by pulsed electric field Şensoy, İlkay; SASTRY, SUDHIR (Wiley, 1997-11-01) Microbial inactivation kinetic models are needed to predict treatment dosage in food pasteurization processes. In this study, we determined inactivation kinetic models of Salmonella dublin in skim milk with a co-field flow high voltage pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment system. Electric field strength of 15-40 kV/cm, treatment time of 12-127 mu s, medium temperatures of 10-50C were tested. A new inactivation kinetic model that combines the effect of treatment time to electric field strength or medium tem...
Use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for rapid comparative analysis of Bacillus and Micrococcus isolates Garip, Sebnem; Gözen, Ayşe Gül; Severcan, FERİDE (Elsevier BV, 2009-04-15) The identification of foodborne microorganisms and their endospores in food products are important for food safety. The present work compares Bacillus (Bacillas licheniformis, Bacillus circulans and Bacillus silbtilis) and Micrococcus (Micrococcus luteus) species with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Our results show that there are several characteristic peaks belonging to both the Micrococcus and Bacillus Species Which Call be used for the identification of these foodborne bacteria and their...
FTIR spectroscopic characterization of irradiated hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) Dogan, Ayca; Siyakus, Galip; Severcan, Feride (Elsevier BV, 2007-01-01) Radiation induced molecular changes in macromolecular components of hazelnut tissues were investigated by mid-Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Irradiation dose of 1.5 kGy (low) and 10 kGy (high) were applied. The changes in frequency, signal intensity and intensity ratio of IR bands revealed that the unsaturated lipid concentration increased for low dose treated samples whereas it decreased and peroxidation appeared at high dose treatment. The low dose irradiation treatment, slightly increase...
Survey of 55 Turkish Salvia taxa for their acetylcholinesterase inhibitory and antioxidant activities ŞENOL, FATMA SEZER; ERDOĞAN ORHAN, İLKAY; Celep, Ferhat; Kahraman, Ahmet; Doğan, Musa; Yilmaz, Guelderen; ŞENER, BİLGE (Elsevier BV, 2010-05-01) In the current work, our target was to screen inhibitory potentials of 55 Turkish Salvia taxa, 28 of which are endemic, against acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which is a chief enzyme in pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and methanol extracts prepared from 55 Salvia taxa were tested for their AChE inhibitory activity at 25, 50, and 100 mu g/ml using an ELISA microplate reader. The extracts were also screened for their scavenging effect against DPPH radical and iron-c...
