Microorganisms which are resistant to cooking conditions proliferate rapidly during cooling period until they are put into the refrigerator. The temperature range of 8°C-68°C at which microorganisms grow and proliferate rapidly is known as “danger zone” in literature. The objective of this study was to observe the effect of rapid cooling of hot meal on microbial load, pH and color change. Cooked white beans containing meat will be brought to 68°C at room temperature and then they will be cooled to 8°C using three different cooling rates (10°C/h, 30° C/h and 50°C/h) and then stored in the refrigerator. Hot meal cooked at the same condition, cooled down to 40°C at room temperature and then stored in the refrigerator was used as a control. The microbial load including the analysis of total mesophilic bacteria, total mold and yeast, Pseudomonas spp. and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as well as pH and color values of meal during storage at 4±1°C were recorded. LAB growth was not observed in white bean meal while Pseudomonas spp. was found to be the dominant bacteria. Increasing cooling rate was found to decrease color change. At the end of thirty days of storage at 4±1°C, the meal cooled at the rate of 10°C/h showed 2340 cfu/g total bacteria growth while the meals cooled at the rate of 30°C/h and 50°C/h showed no growth during this time. In conclusion, rapid cooling was found to be an effective way of increasing shelf life of hot meal.

Effects of microwave heating on electrospinning of carob bean flour based nanofibers Uygun, Eylül; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2019) In addition to time and energy saving advantages, microwave heating has some effects on functional properties of flours, especially starch and protein compounds. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of microwave pretreatment on physicochemical characteristics of carob flour and rice starch-based nanofibers produced by electrospinning. In addition, the effects of carob flour concentration (3%, 5% w/v) and rice starch addition (0.5% w/v) on nanofiber production were studied. Solutions were heate...
DETERMINATION OF OPTIMUM PH AND TEMPERATURE FOR PASTEURIZATION OF CITRUS JUICES BY RESPONSE-SURFACE METHODOLOGY Ülgen, Neşe; Özilgen, Mustafa (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1993-01-01) Optimization of microbial death, enzyme inactivation and vitamin C retention during pasteurization of pH-adjusted orange juice is discussed free of equipment-dependent parameters such as the heating lag. The pH-temperature optimum was determined by response surface methodology in the range of 65-degrees-C-75-degrees-C and pH 2.5 4.0. The results implied that there was no pectin-esterase activity below pH 3.5. Leuconostoc mesenteroides had its maximum and minimum thermal resistance at pH 3.5 and pH 2.7, resp...
Usage of enzymes in a novel baking process Keskin, SO; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil (Wiley, 2004-04-01) In this study, the effects of different enzymes (a-amylase, xylanase, lipase, protease) on quality of breads baked in different ovens (microwave, halogen lamp-microwave combination and conventional oven) were investigated. It was also aimed to reduce the quality problems of breads baked in microwave ovens with the usage of enzymes. As a control, bread dough containing no enzyme was used. Specific volume, firmness and color of the breads were measured as quality parameters. All of the enzymes were found to b...
Retention of physical quality of bananas by hemicellulose coating Yilmaz Celebioglu, Hilal; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz (2013-01-01) In order to maintain color and texture, plant-origin edible coatings are advantageous to foodstuffs as an air and moisture barrier. In this study, hemicelluloses extracted from corn peels were used as the coating material on bananas stored at 4 °C. At the end of storage, no fungal decay was detected on coated bananas, whereas 20% of uncoated bananas (control) were infected. Samples coated with 1, 1.5 and 2% hemicellulose (HC) lost 3.6, 3.3 and 3.1 of their total weight, respectively, whereas the control gro...
Modeling of tempering of frozen potato puree by microwave, infrared assisted microwave and ohmic heating methods Seyhun, Nadide; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2008) The main purpose of this thesis is to develop a model that can predict the temperature profile inside a frozen food sample during microwave tempering and infrared assisted microwave tempering processes. Another goal of the study is to compare the tempering time of frozen foods by using microwave, infrared assisted microwave, and ohmic heating methods. Frozen potato puree was used as the food sample for all studies. Three different microwave power levels (30%, 40%, and 50%) were used for microwave tempering ...
