This study was carried out in order to determine the effects of drying temperature (25, 35, and 45 degrees C) and the developmental stage (55, 65, 75, and 85 days after anthesis (DAA)) on germination, vigor, and the sugar (sucrose, glucose, fructose) and fatty acid contents of pepper seeds (Capsicum annuum L.) over 2 consecutive years. In seeds harvested at 75 DAA and after, seed viability and vigor were not influenced by drying at temperatures up to 45 degrees C. Linoleic acid (18:2) was the main fatty acid in pepper seeds, comprising 75-80% of total fatty acids. It was followed by oleic (18: 1) and palmitic (16:0) as roughly 10%-12% and stearic (18:0) as 3%. The results indicated that drying seeds at different temperatures does not change fatty acid composition. Approximately 30% of the pepper seeds are constituted of sucrose, and this did not change with maturity level between 55 and 85 DAA. nor did it change at different drying temperatures. However, the levels of fructose and glucose gradually decreased as the developmental stage advanced and both were lower than 4% of total sugar at the final harvest. Seeds dried at 45 degrees C had lower amounts of sugar compared to those dried at 25 and 35 degrees C. Seed quality and fatty acid and sucrose composition do not change as long as the seeds are harvested within 75 DAA.

Morphological and physico-biochemical characterization of various tomato cultivars in a simplified soilless media Khan, Mahboob Ahmad; Butt, Shahid Javed; khan, Khurshied Ahmed; Nadeem, Faisal; Yousaf, Balal; Javed, Hafiz Umer (2017-12-01) This study aimed to investigate nine commercial cultivars of tomato, in order to identify the most suitable cultivar in terms of morphological (plant height, fruit size, fruit weight and total yield) and physico-biochemical (color, firmness, total soluble solid, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid, total sugar, reducing and non-reducing sugar, β-carotene and lycopene) attributes. Plants were cultured hydroponically in the greenhouse. Results revealed that the morphological attributes of Beefsteak Group (BG) o...
Fed-batch cultivation of bakers' yeast: Effect of nutrient depletion and heat stress on cell composition Ertugay, N; Hamamci, H; Bayındırlı, Alev (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1997-01-01) The physiology of a commercial strain of bakers' yeast was studied in terms of the cell composition under different growth conditions and of its response to stress. The study comprised fed-batch experiments since this is the system used in bakers' yeast industry. The classical fed-batch fermentation procedure was modified in that the yeast cells were continuously grown to a steady-state at a dilution rate of 0.1/h in order to achieve more or less the same initial starting point in terms of cell composition....
Physiological, biochemical and molecular analysis of wheat cultivars under boron treatments Kayıhan, Ceyhun; Yücel, Ayşe Meral; Eyidoğan, Füsun; Department of Biotechnology (2014) Many studies have described the physiological, biochemical and molecular responses to boron (B) toxicity and deficiency individually in plants. However, overall pattern of gene expression changes and their physiological and biochemical signiﬁcances after high B, low B and supplementing artificial B-enriched fertilizer (Tarımbor) application have not been proposed up till now. In the present study, we assessed global changes in gene expression of two wheat cultivars Bolal-2973 and Atay-85 differing in their ...
Fed-batch methanol feeding strategy for recombinant protein production by Pichia pastoris in the presence of co-substrate sorbitol Celik, Eda; Çalık, Pınar; Oliver, Stephen G. (2009-09-01) Batch-wise sorbitol addition as a co-substrate at the induction phase of methanol fed-batch fermentation by Pichia pastoris (Mut(+)) was proposed as a beneficial recombinant protein production strategy and the metabolic responses to methanol feeding rate in the presence of sorbitol was systematically investigated. Adding sorbitol batch-wise to the medium provided the following advantages over growth on methanol alone: (a) eliminating the long lag-phase for the cells and reaching 'high cell density productio...
Recovery of acids from anaerobic acidification broth by liquid-liquid extraction Alkaya, Emrah; Kaptan, Serkan; Ozkan, Leyla; Uludag-Demirer, Sibel; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi (2009-11-01) In this study, anaerobic acidification of sugar beet processing wastes and subsequent liquid-liquid extraction of produced fermentation metabolites were investigated. The aim of extraction experiments was to asses the influence of pH and extractant (trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) in kerosene) concentrations on the recovery of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) from fermentation broth. The effect of TOPO in kerosene concentration was as crucial as the effect of pH on the recovery of VFAs via extraction. Consequentl...
