In this study, the effects of immobilization and high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) on capsaicin production in cell suspension culture of pepper seeds at different application times were investigated. Callus cultures were obtained from in vitro germinated hypocotyl explants of pepper seedlings and cell suspensions were prepared from calluses. Immobilized cell suspension cultures with calcium alginate and free cell suspension cultures were obtained by using these cell suspensions. 50, 100, 200, 300 and 400 MPa were applied to both free and immobilized cell suspensions as an elicitor. When all the results were compared, the highest amount of capsaicin was achieved in immobilized cell suspensions on the tenth day as 293.187 mu g/g f.w at 400 MPa pressure. As a result, it can be concluded that the combined application of immobilization and elicitor (HHP) caused significant increases (p < .05) in the amount of capsaicin.

EFFECT OF PRETREATMENTS ON THE SEMICONTINUOUS ANAEROBIC-DIGESTION OF SUNFLOWER HEADS
POLAT, H; Selçuk, Nevin; SOYUPAK, S (1992-10-01)
The effects of hydraulic retention time and alkali treatment on methane production rate from the semicontinuous anaerobic digestion of 2 % sunflower-head/water mixtures were investigated. The experiments were carried out in laboratory-scale fermenters, fed with 1 liter of untreated, 2 g NaOH/100 g total solids (TS), and 5 g NaOH/100 g TS alkali-treated sunflower-head/water mixtures, respectively, and maintained at 55-degrees-C Digestion experiments were performed for hydraulic retention times of 8, 10, and ...
Investigating the anticarcinogenic role of salix aegyptiaca l. in colorectal carcinoma
Enayat, Shabnam; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2009)
In this study, extracts from bark, leaves and catkins of Salix aegyptiaca L. were investigated for their antioxidant content by 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl hydrate (DPPH) free radical quenching assay, total phenolic and total flavonoid assays. The highest antioxidant activity (19 ug/ml IC50 for inhibition of DPPH radical activity), total phenolic content (212 mg gallic acid equivalents/g of dried extract) and total flavonoid (479 mg catechin equivalents/g of dried extract) was observed in the ethanolic ex...

The applicability of Fenton's oxidation to improve the biodegradability of a pharmaceutical wastewater to be treated biologically was investigated. The wastewater was originated from a factory producing a variety of pharmaceutical chemicals. Treatability studies were conducted under laboratory conditions with all chemicals (having COD varying from 900 to 7000 mg/L) produced in the factory in order to determine the operational conditions to utilize in the full-scale treatment plant. Optimum pH was determined...
Efficiency of high pressure treatment on inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms and enzymes in apple, orange, apricot and sour cherry juices
Bayındırlı, Alev; Alpas, Hami (Elsevier BV, 2006-01-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of high hydrostatic pressure with a mild heat treatment on Staphylococcus aureus 485, Escherichia coli O157:H7 933 and Salmonella Enteritidis FDA in apple, orange, apricot and sour cherry juices. The effectiveness of the treatment on polyphenol oxidase activity in apple juice and pectinesterase activity in orange juice were also determined. An inoculum of microorganisms was completely inactivated at 350 MPa and 40 degrees C in 5min. The residual polyph...
Effectiveness of algae in the treatment of a wood-based pulp and paper industry wastewater
Tarlan, Esra; Dilek, Filiz Bengü; Yetiş, Ülkü (2002-04-27)
In this study, the ability of algae to treat a wood-based pulp and paper industry wastewater was investigated. Tests were performed in batch reactors seeded with a mixed culture of algae. Under different lighting and initial wastewater strength conditions, changes in COD, AOX and color contents of reactors were followed with time. Algae were found to remove up to 58% of COD, 84% of color and 80% of AOX from pulp and paper industry wastewaters. No remarkable differences were observed in COD and color when li...
