Certain lactic acid bacteria present in the natural flora of the wine fermentation medium perform the malolactic fermentation process and other biochemical activities which lead to the formation of the outstanding aroma and bouquet of wine. However, because of the spoilage phenomena caused also by certain lactic cultures, off-odours formed via metabolic side reactions cause severe economic losses in the wine industry. Several control mechanisms were introduced in order to eliminate these spoilage cultures, but none of these has been implemented as an efficient and healthy process. A partially purified bacteriocin-like inhibitory substance (BLIS) with a molecular weight of 32 000 Da, obtained from a Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. cremoris isolate belonging to the native flora of wines of the Cappadocia region, was studied for its inhibitory activity on the spoilage strain, Lactobacillus fructivorans, isolated from the same wine flora and several other pathogens, and was found to be efficient in eliminating both the spoilage strain and the pathogens.

Studies on an inhibitor produced by lactic acid bacteria of wines on the control of malolactic fermentation
Yurdugul, S; Bozoglu, F (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2002-07-01)
Malolactic fermentation is the microbiological process in wines, where lactic acid bacteria (LAB) govern the process of converting L-malic acid into L-lactic acid. During this process a high microbial load of LAB may lead to an unwanted spoilage phenomena by formation of excessive amounts of undesirable flavor compounds. This study is mainly focused on the isolation of LAB from the native flora of the wine, which has an inhibitory potential against malolactic activity of LAB inherent in wines. An isolate of...
Effects of tomato pulp addition on the extrudate quality parameters and effects of extrusion on the functional parameters of the extrudates
Caltinoglu, Cagla; Tonyalı, Bade; Şensoy, İlkay (Wiley, 2014-02-01)
Effects of addition of tomato pulp on the quality parameters of the extrudates, and effects of extrusion on the functional properties of the extrudates were investigated. Bulk density, volume expansion index, longitudinal expansion index and porosity did not indicate a significant difference between the extrudates with or without tomato pulp. Sectional expansion index showed a slight increase with pulp addition. Textural analysis indicated that hardness and fracturability of the extrudates with or without p...
Effects of sugar, protein and water content on wheat starch gelatinization due to microwave heating
Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Bayindirli, L (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1999-01-01)
Understanding the interactions between sugar, starch, protein and water, which are the main components of a baked product, will advance the development of high quality, microwaveable products. This paper presents a mathematical model describing the quantitative relationships between water, sugar and protein on the gelatinization of wheat starch following 20 s of microwave heat as determined by differential scanning calorimetry. Addition of sugar decreased the degree of gelatinization of starch due to microw...
Effects of high hydrostatic pressure on shelf life of lager beer
BUZRUL, S; Alpas, Hami; BOZOGLU, F (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-05-01)
Filtered bright lager beer samples were either treated with high hydrostatic pressure (HHP, 350 MPa for 3 and 5 min at 20 C) or conventional heat pasteurization (60 C for 15 min). A storage period of 56 days showed that HHP and heat pasteurization had similar results in terms of pH and color (p<0.05). However HHP-treated samples had lower bitterness and protein sensitivity and higher chill haze values than the heat pasteurized samples at the end of the storage period. The microbiological stability of HHP-tr...
Effects of different batter formulations on the quality of deep-fat-fried carrot slices
Akdeniz, N; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-07-01)
The effects of batter coating containing pregelatinized tapioca starch or maltodextrin at different concentrations (1, 3 or 5%) on product quality of deep-fat-fried carrot slices were evaluated. Coated slices were fried for 2, 3 and 4 min at 170 degrees C. Coating pickup of batter formulations and moisture and oil contents, porosity, texture and colour of fried slices were determined. Batter without pregelatinized starch or maltodextrin addition was used as the control. Addition of 5% pregelatinized tapioca...
