An identification method, based on the total cholesterol level determination for identifying whether archaeological food residues have animal or vegetable origin, has been developed. The method has been applied for the identification of various archaeological food samples excavated in Turkey belonging to the 800, 3000 and 4000 Bc. periods.

Cloning of the scytalidium thermophilum bifunctional catalase / phenol oxidase gene and expression in aspergillus sojae Erçin, Hatice Özlem; Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm; Department of Food Engineering (2008) Scytalidium thermophilum is a thermophilic fungus with an important role in the composting process of mushroom cultivation. An extracellular phenol oxidase of Scytalidium thermophilum (STEP) with novel features was previously studied in our laboratory. This enzyme later turned out to be a catalase having phenol oxidase activity. The aim of this study was to clone Scytalidium thermophilum bifunctional catalase/phenol oxidase encoding gene and express the gene in Aspergillus sojae for future site directed mut...
Encapsulation of pea protein in an alginate matrix by cold set gelation method and use of the capsules in fruit juices Narin, Ceren; Ertuğrul, Ülkü; Taş, Ozan; Şahin, Serpil; Öztop, Halil Mecit (Wiley, 2020-09-01) Plant-based proteins gained importance in recent years due to the increase in the awareness of healthy diet and in the consumption of plant-based foods. However, some features of plant-based proteins like the undesirable odor and flavor affect the sensorial properties of protein containing foods. Therefore, encapsulation of these proteins could be a good strategy to tackle with this problem. The objective of this study was to design microcapsules (beads) consisting of pea protein by using sodium alginate an...
A non-conventional TD-NMR approach to monitor honey crystallization and melting Berk, Berkay; Grunin, Leonid; Öztop, Halil Mecit (Elsevier BV, 2021-03-01) Crystallization of glucose is a natural process that could occur in honey due to several reasons and glucose is one of them. In this study, a non-conventional TD-NMR pulse sequence, Magic Sandwich Echo (MSE), was used to monitor the crystallization of honey at 14 °C. Honey samples were seeded with glucose to induce crystallization. T1 and T2 relaxation times were also measured during 96 h of storage. Mono-exponential and bi-exponential relations were used to explain T1 and T2, respectively. As a complementa...
Using multi-slice-multi-echo images with NMR relaxometry to assess water and fat distribution in coated chicken nuggets Öztop, Halil Mecit; TAKHAR, Pawan; MCCARTHY, Kathryn L.; MCCARTHY, Michael J. (Elsevier BV, 2014-03-01) Characterizing water and fat distributions in fried foods is of major importance in terms of taste and nutrition. The objective of this study was to introduce a new technique to quantify water and fat distributions of chicken nuggets coated with methylcellulose (MC) through the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and NMR relaxometry. Multi-slice-multi-echo (MSME-Spin Echo based) images were performed on a 1.03 T spectrometer for the whole chicken nuggets to obtain relaxation time distribution of differe...
The effects of hydrogen peroxide, gallic acid and resveratrol on growth and catalase production of aspergillus fumigatus Doğan, Tunca; Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm; Department of Food Engineering (2008) The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of hydrogen peroxide and selected phenolic compounds on growth and catalase production of Aspergillus fumigatus. As a result of growing A. fumigatus at different temperatures it was observed that, growth and catalase production of this species were highest at 37 °C. Catalase production was highest in the presence of 1 mM H2O2, yielding a significant 3 fold increase with respect to the control. Biomass was also increased by 1,44 fold with respect to the control...
