A quick look to the use of time domain nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry and magnetic resonance imaging for food quality applications

2021-10-01
Evaluation of food quality in industrial production is a major interest. Fast, reliable, cost-effective and easy-to-use applications are required for on-line inspection of food products. With the recent advances in the field, time domain nuclear magnetic resonance (TD NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques have been shown to provide rapid, non-invasive characterization of foods alternative to labor intensive and invasive conventional methods. The basic principle of TD NMR is analysis of the signal coming from the excited sample whereas MRI is able to visualize the internal structure of the samples without any disruption. This review refers to the most recent advances in the TD NMR and MRI-based food quality applications. Some new quality applications of TD-NMR have also been addressed.

Examination of the effects of change in global metal prices on Turkish basic metal production and exportation
Balıkçıoğlu, Cem; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Economics (2018)
The basic metal production industry constitutes up 11% of Turkish manufacturing industry which makes it the second largest industry in manufacturing after food manufacturing with 15.6%. Basic metal production is the second largest industry for Turkish export and import, with 11-13% and 11-14% share respectively. However, the literature lacks studies in terms of the effects of change in basic metal prices on basic metal production industry in Turkey. The thesis contributes to literature by explaining the eff...
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...
Experimental investigation of refrigerator condensers for possible design improvements
Özsaçmacı, Nejdet Yiğit; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba; Oskay, Rüknettin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014)
There is a continuous increase in the capacities of competitive markets in refrigeration industry. Meanwhile, new energy regulations for domestic appliances, including refrigerators become operative day by day. Hence, there is a strong requirement for improved performance of household refrigerators at reduced cost. The condenser is the main heat rejection component of the cooling cycle. The objective of this thesis is to conduct an experimental investigation for possible design improvements of wire-and-tube...
A guide for construction companies t apply lean six sigma methodology
Düğme, Fatma Zehra; Nielsen, Yasemin; Department of Civil Engineering (2008)
The construction sector is an immensely important industrial sector in terms of economic and social impact and also employment facilities. Nonetheless, much research has pointed out a gap in terms of labor productivity, quality, performance and responsiveness to customer needs when compared with other large industrial sectors; sectors that have recently experienced huge gains and cost reductions via methods like Lean Six Sigma. In this study, the construction industry will be examined for determination of t...
A framework for energy reduction in manufacturing process chains (E-MPC) and a case study from the Turkish household appliance industry
Uluer, Muhtar Ural; Gok, Gozde; FESCİOĞLU-ÜNVER, NİLGÜN; KILIÇ, SADIK ENGİN (2016-01-20)
Energy is a major input in the manufacturing sector. Its security and efficiency are of supreme importance to a nation's industrial activities. Energy consumption also has serious environmental impacts in terms of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. In order to use energy more efficiently, simply designing parts and planning manufacturing processes with an energy-aware mindset is insufficient; it is also necessary to model and assess the energy efficiency of a process chain from a holistic point of view. In thi...
