In this study, the production of citric acid has been achieved by using Aspergillus niger conidiaspores, entrapped in polyacrylamide gels, and the factors that affect this production have been investigated. On citric acid production the effect of starting sucrose concentration (100-180 g/l), the initial nitrogen concentration (0-0.3 g/l), the effect of the methanol concentration in 100ml feeding medium (0-6 ml), and finally the effect of ethanol concentration (0-6 ml) in 100 ml feeding medium were studied and optimum experimental conditions were determined. As a result of the experiments, the starting nitrogen concentration (0.05 g/l) and the starting sucrose concentration (140 g/l) were optimized and maximum citric acid production was observed for the given conditions. On the other hand, the maximum citric acid production was observed by the addition of 4.0ml methanol and 3.0ml ethanol. (c) 2004 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

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...
Effects of Bentonite Combinations and Gelatin on the Rheological Behaviour of Bentonite – Apple Juice Dispersions Dik, Tunay; Özilgen, Mustafa (Elsevier BV, 1996-11) Rheological behaviour of bentonite – apple juice suspensions were experimentally determined at 25°C, within the shear rate range of 4.3 to 43.1 s−1with 0.90, 1.33 and 2.66 g/L bentonite mixtures and 0 to 0.25 g/L (on dry basis) gelatin concentrations. The mixtures consisted of 100%, 80%, 60%, 40% 20% and 0% Ca-bentonite and balance Na-bentonite combinations. The experimental data were described with the power law as τ =Kγ.1.56. The consistency index was related to the calcium, sodium and gelatin concentrati...
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...
The impact of UV-C irradiation on spoilage microorganisms and colour of orange juice Taze, Bengi Hakguder; Unluturk, Sevcan; Buzrul, Sencer; Alpas, Hami (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-02-01) The effect of UV-C irradiation on inactivation of spoilage microorganisms and colour of freshly squeezed orange juice were investigated. Orange juice samples were intentionally fermented in order to increase the natural microflora which were mostly composed of yeasts and then exposed to UV-C irradiation at an intensity level of 1.32 mW/cm(2) and sample depth of 0.153 cm for several exposure times by using a collimated beam apparatus. Applied UV dose was in the range of 0 and 108.42 mJ/cm(2). Resistance of y...
EFFECT OF MICROWAVE PROCESSING ON WATER SOLUBLE VITAMINS: KINETIC PARAMETERS Ökmen, Zinet Aytanga; Bayındırlı, Alev (1999-01-01) The effects of microwave processing on water soluble vitamins (ascorbic acid, niacin, thiamin, and riboflavin) were determined. The kinetic parameters of vitamin degradation reactions for microwave heating were determined for model vitamin systems. The degradation reactions were found to be first-order reactions. The kinetic parameters at different temperatures were also determined.
