The use of sustainable ingredients from natural sources has shown an increase in recent years. For stabilization of dispersions, proteins and polysaccharides are increasingly being used in combination for their synergistic properties. Various studies have focused on developing biopolymers that merge the functions of proteins and polysaccharides in a single molecule. Quince seed extract (QSE) is a natural biopolymer that display this exceptional attribute in its native state. However, the literature is still lacking in demonstrating its potential as a natural stabilizer through analysis of the extract's interfacial properties. This dissertation has two main objectives; to assess the performance of QSE as an emulsion stabilizer and to examine its air-water and oil-water interfacial properties. Quince seed extract provided a similar stability to emulsions compared to same concentrations of Xanthan gum but at smaller apperant viscosities. Overall, QSE concentrations >0.3 w/v yielded physically stable emulsions even after 5 months. QSE was effective in lowering surface tension at an air-water interface even at concentrations as low as 0.025 % w/v (reduction of eq. ST from 72 mN/m to 58.9 mN/m). By QSE addition alone equilibrium surface tension could be lowered to ~36 mN/m, which is lower than the lowest ST that can be achieved with many other surface active biopolymers. Critical aggregation concentration (CAC) was identified as 0.165 % w/v,. In addition to these findings, the study; provides the possibility of obtaining more information on the processes happening during adsorption and describing their mechanism with established theories.

Characterization and evaluation of emulsifying properties of high pressure microfluidized and pH shifted corn gluten meal Ozturk, Oguz Kaan; Mert, Behiç (2019-03-01) This study presents a potential application for adding value to corn gluten meal, which is often used as animal feed and underutilized in food industry. This study is aimed to improve water holding ability of zein-rich by product corn gluten and investigate possibility of using it as an emulsifier. The potential use of microfluidization (500-1250 bar and 25 degrees C) and pH shifting (to pH6, 8, and 10) as a modification process for corn gluten meal and their effects on emulsifying properties were investiga...
Investigation of surface properties of quince seed extract as a novel polymeric surfactant Kirtil, Emrah; Svitova, Tatyana; Radke, Clayton J.; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Şahin, Serpil (2022-02-01) © 2021 Elsevier LtdIn recent years, there is a growing trend from both academia and the industry towards the use of “clean-labeled” ingredients obtained from renewable resources. Proteins and polysaccharides, in particular, are becoming increasingly popular as alternatives to already well-established synthetic surfactants. Quince seeds are a relatively novel hydrocolloid source that has recently raised interest among researchers due to their strong surface activity and viscosity-enhancing properties. This s...
A study on the effects of some soy products on rheological and textural properties of milk chocolate Yolaçaner, Elif; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Meclis, İzlem Cansu (2018-07-07) As the consumer expectation for healthy and functional foods is increasing, utilization of many alternative ingredients is proceeding constantly in food production nowadays. Soybean products are among these ingredients since they involve high quality proteins, isoflavones and they are free from cholesterol, lactose and gluten. Chocolate is one of the most widely consumed food products in the world and rheology of chocolate is vital for its quality and production cost. Rheological properties of chocolate are...
The effects of microfluidization on rheological and textural properties of gluten-free corn breads OZTURK, Oguz Kaan; Mert, Behiç (2018-03-01) This study presents the potential of microfluidization as a value adding process to corn gluten meal (CGM), which is often used as animal feed and is underutilized in food industry. In this study, we aimed to improve water holding ability of corn gluten and to investigate possibility of using this zein-rich byproduct as the main ingredient in gluten-free bread formulations. For this reason, microfluidization as a milling process for CGM, and its effects on rheological and textural properties of gluten-free ...
Investigation of physico-chemical properties of soy proteins glycated with d-psicose Beylikçi, Sermet Can; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Department of Food Engineering (2019) Proteins are one of the most essential food components that is constantly used by food industry because of their functional properties as well as their nutritional value. Soy protein has become popular among the usable protein resources because of its various functional properties such as foaming, gelling, emulsifying and water holding capacities. However, certain drawbacks of soy protein like limited solubility especially in acidic environment, emerge the need for modification for further use in broader va...
