Sesame seed as an alternative plant protein source: A comprehensive physicochemical characterisation study for alkaline, salt and enzyme-assisted extracted samples

2021-01-01
Sesame seed is mostly utilised for its oil but also the waste of the oil processing; the seed meal has also significant potential to be used as an alternative protein source. In this study, the goal is to produce sesame seed protein by using three different techniques; alkaline, salt and enzyme-assisted extraction. A comprehensive physicochemical characterisation of the extracts was performed. Total and soluble protein contents, emulsification activity & emulsion stability, FTIR spectroscopy, hydration behaviour and gelling ability experiments by TD-NMR were conducted for all extracted proteins. Also, SDS-PAGE experiments were performed to observe the effect of extraction conditions on protein folding. Overall, the aqueous phase of enzyme-assisted extracted proteins (E-ACP) had the highest protein content and solubility, which resulted in other improved physicochemical properties. Salt extracted samples were ‘salted-out’, therefore, had poor physicochemical properties. TD-NMR experiments further confirmed the solubility and gelling ability results by measuring the change in the T2 spin relaxation times. Additionally, FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the most critical peaks for the proteins; Amide I (C=O stretching) and Amide II (N–H bending). In summary, depending on the physicochemical property of interest, different extraction methods yielded proteins with different properties.

Geological Considerations for the Economic Evaluation of Turkish Oil Shale Deposits and Their Combustion-Pyrolysis Behavior
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01)
The oil shale deposits in Turkey are widely distributed in middle and western Anatolia. Turkish oil shales are of Palaeocene-Eocene and middle upper Miocene age. Current reserves of oil shales are approximately 2,220 million tons (total reserve) and mainly are located in Himmetoglu, Seyitomer, Beypazari, and Hatildag deposits. Some petrological, geochemical, Fisher Assay, and fluidized combustion tests are performed for these oil shale fields, and it was concluded that Himmetoglu oil shale is the most appro...
Olive oil value-chain dynamics: the Turkish olive oil industry case
Balkan, B. Atamer; Meral, S. (2016-10-14)
Turkey is one of the five largest olive oil producers in the world; the country satisfies domestic demand to its fullest extent, and also exports olive oil to several countries. Despite this positive outlook, discontent among relevant stakeholders in the olive oil value chain indicates that regulatory decisions in the industry need to be revised and improved. The value of olive oil has a much more complicated structure than a standard mere summation of costs and profit margins. The need to explain analytica...
Microwave glycation of soy protein isolate
Namlı, Serap; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Department of Food Engineering (2019)
Soy protein is used as a functional ingredient in the food industry since it has good functional properties like gelling, emulsifying, water and oil holding capacity. It contains all the essential amino acids, lowers the cholesterol, and the risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, the improvement of the functional properties of soy protein is an important issue for food science and industry. Glycation is known as the non-enzymatic reaction between the carbonyl group of sugars and the free amino group of ...
Mathematical modelling of geothermal carbon dioxide production in a specific field in Turkey.
Kumsal, Beril; Akın, Serhat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2020)
Turkey’s non-condensable gases production from geothermal fields is very high when compared to other countries’ average production values. A big predominance of these gases is generally carbon dioxide (CO2) and the origin of this CO2 is generally meteoric for the studied area as reservoir rocks are carbonate-dominated metamorphic rocks such as dolomitic marbles and marbles.The dissolution of calcite mineral within the reservoir rocks, where it equilibrates with water, results in CO2 release from the system....
Candidate selection process for polymer gel application by using artificial neural networks
Örs, Oytun; Sınayuç, Çağlar; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2017)
Rapid increase in water-oil ratio has been one of the most important challenges of the oil companies that are producing from the mature oil fields. For this reason, various studies have been conducted to diminish the excessive water production. One of the most widely used chemical shutoff technique, polymer gel treatment, involves injection of different polymers into the production wells in order to plug the easy flow pathways of the excessive water. For the successful application of the polymer gel treatme...
