Construction of quality control charts with sub-optimal size samples

1998-02-01
Ozilgen, M
A case study is presented for construction of the quality control charts with suboptimum size samples obtained in a commercial brewery after measuring total acidity, apparent extract and pH of the wort; alcohol, real extract, carbon dioxide total acidity and pH of the bottled beer. Logarithmic transformation of the data was employed to construct the quality control charts, and centering of the data between the specification limits was assessed by means of the process capability index values.

Investigation of extraction methodologies for quantitative determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments
Topal, Tansel; Tuncel, Semra G.; Department of Chemistry (2011)
The extraction procedures for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) concentrations in sediment samples had been developed by using GC-FID and GC-MS. The optimized methods were soxhlet extraction, ultrasonic bath extraction and solid phase micro extraction (SPME). In order to search out the main factors affecting extraction efficiencies of the methods, factorial design was used. The best extraction method was chosen and optimum values for main factors were selected for the development o...
Production of sweetening syrups with functional properties
Yıldız (Yiğitarslan), Sibel; Kıncal, Suzan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2006)
Extraction of fructo-oligosaccharide syrups from grated jerusalem artichoke (JA) tubers was studied by water at 20-60°C by determining the yield, degree of polymerization (DP), product profile (DP of up to 6) and prebiotic effect using Lactobacillus plantarum on samples harvested between October and April, stored for 0-20 days. The optimum solvent to solid ratio was 4, the duration of shaking water bath extraction was 40 min and yield based on JA were 12-17%. Temperature was found to improve yield and funct...
QUALITY-CONTROL CHARTS FOR STORAGE OF APRICOTS
Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; OZILGEN, M (1994-09-01)
Construction of modified Shewhart charts to monitor quality variations of apricots coated with edible sucrose polyesters in storage are described by using data based on changes in weight, soluble solids, pH, ascorbic acid, and Hunter colour scale. These control charts may be used to maintain the inevitable quality loss within acceptable limits, and make it possible to readjust the storage conditions if the acceptable limits should be violated.
Modeling and control studies for a reactive batch distillation column
Bahar, Almıla; Özgen, Canan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007)
Modeling and inferential control studies are carried out on a reactive batch distillation system for the esterification reaction of ethanol with acetic acid to produce ethyl acetate. A dynamic model is developed based on a previous study done on a batch distillation column. The column is modified for a reactive system where Artificial Neural Network Estimator is used instead of Extended Kalman Filter for the estimation of compositions of polar compounds for control purposes. The results of the developed dyn...
Optimising clarification of carrot juice by bacterial crude pectinase
Uzuner, Sibel; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz (2015-12-01)
This study was undertaken to search for potential use of crude bacterial pectinase enzyme produced from Bacillus subtilis grown on hazelnut shell hydrolysate in clarification of carrot juice and to optimize the enzyme load, pH and time using the Box-Behnken response surface methodology (RSM). The carrot juice was treated with the crude pectinase enzyme (5.60 U mL(-1)) at different concentrations (0.1-0.5%), pH (4-7), and time (2-6 h). The obtained enzyme was also compared with commercial fungal pectinase at...
