This study is the first attempt to elicit individual willingness to pay (WTP) for varying attributes of a specific food product, the organic egg, using three elicitation methods, namely, a real choice experiment (RCE), the Becker-DeGroot-Marschak (BDM) mechanism, and a RCE by using the BDM mechanism (RCE-BDM). The experimental setting allows for a comparison of these three methods. The mixed logit models in WTP space for the choice data and the random-effects Tobit model for the BDM data are used for the analyses. The results show that the individuals' WTP varies across elicitation methods. More specifically, the WTP of the RCE is lower than the WTP of the BDM experiment, and mixed results have been found while comparing the WTP of the RCE-BDM experiment and WTP of the BDM experiment. Lastly, individuals are willing to pay a premium for health, environment-friendly, and animal welfare attributes for all three elicitation methods: the health attribute's premium having the highest value followed by those of animal welfare and environment- friendliness. The results have not changed with information treatment indicating robustness of the findings. [EconLit Citations: C91, C35, D12].

Comparison of spatial learning in the partially baited radial-arm maze task between commonly used rat strains: Wistar, Spargue-Dawley, Long-Evans, and outcrossed Wistar/Sprague-Dawley Gokcek-Sarac, Cigdem; Wesierska, Malgorzata; Jakubowska-Dogru, Ewa (2015-03-01) Strain-related differences in animals' cognitive ability affect the outcomes of experiments and may be responsible for discrepant results obtained by different research groups. Therefore, behavioral phenotyping of laboratory animals belonging to different strains is important. The aim of the present study was to compare the variation in allothetic visuospatial learning in most commonly used laboratory rat strains: inbred Wistar (W) and Sprague-Dawley (SD), outcrossed Wistar/Sprague-Dawley (W/SD), and outbre...
The effect of extrusion on the functional components and in vitro lycopene bioaccessibility of tomato pulp added corn extrudates Tonyalı, Bade; Şensoy, İlkay; Karakaya, Sibel (2016-01-01) The effect of processing on functional ingredients and their in vitro bioaccessibility should be investigated to develop better food products. Tomato pulp was added as a functional ingredient to extrudates. The effects of extrusion on the functional properties of the extrudates and the in vitro bioaccessibility of lycopene were investigated. Two different temperature sets were applied during extrusion: 80 degrees C, 90 degrees C, 100 degrees C and 130 degrees C and 80 degrees C, 100 degrees C, 130 degrees C...
Predicting the effect of hydrophobicity surface on binding affinity of PCP-like compounds using machine learning methods Yoldaş, Mine; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Büyükbingöl, Erdem; Department of Computer Engineering (2011) This study aims to predict the binding affinity of the PCP-like compounds by means of molecular hydrophobicity. Molecular hydrophobicity is an important property which aff ects the binding affinity of molecules. The values of molecular hydrophobicity of molecules are obtained on three-dimensional coordinate system. Our aim is to reduce the number of points on the hydrophobicity surface of the molecules. This is modeled by using self organizing maps (SOM) and k-means clustering. The feature sets obtained fro...
Analysis of immunoreactivity of NOS isoforms (nNOS, eNOS, iNOS) in hippocampus of young rats classified as good and poor learners Keçecioğlu, Ekin; Jakubowska Doğru, Ewa; Department of Biology (2012) Despite very extensive studies on molecular mechanisms of learning and memory formation it is little known about individual variation in the learning skills within a random animal population and about the differences in the brain biochemistry behind this variation. In the present study, we have focused on the expression and distribution of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), one of the molecules implemented in activity-dependent neuroplasticity, in the rat hippocampus, the structure critical for episodic memory in...
A critical review of the specifications and performance of antibody and DNA-based methods for detection and quantification of allergens in foods Senyuva, Hamide Z.; Jones, Ivona Baricevic; Sykes, Mark; Baumgartner, Sabine (Informa UK Limited, 2019-01-01) Despite the availability of a large number of antibody and DNA based methods for detection and quantification of allergens in food there remain significant difficulties in selecting the optimum technique to employ. Published methods from research groups mostly contain sufficient detail concerning target antigen, calibration procedures and method performance to allow replication by others. However, routine allergen testing by the food industry relies upon commercialised test kits and frequently the suppliers...
