The objective of this study was to develop novel colorimetric films for food freshness monitoring. UV light irradiation (365 nm) and carbon dots (CDs) were tested as the potential crosslinkers in the fabrication of anthocyanins doped fish gelatin (FG) films. The effect of crosslinkers on the optical, surface, structural, barrier and mechanical properties of FG films was investigated. The incorporation of CDs under UV irradiation improved the tested properties of FG films. The kinetic colorimetric responses of FG films against ammonia vapor were studied to simulate the food spoilage and determine the ammonia sensitivity of the films. Among the tested films, UV-treated FG films containing 100 mg/l (FG-UV-CD100) indicated the best properties. Later, the color difference of FG-UV-CD100 films was observed to correlate well with microbial growth and TVB-N release in skinless chicken breast samples. At the same time, a custom-designed smartphone application (SmartFood) was developed to be used with the FG-UV-CD100 film for quantitative estimation of food freshness in real-time. The proposed food freshness monitoring platform reveals a great potential to minimize global food waste and the outbreak of foodborne illness.

Photocatalytic antimicrobial and self-cleaning properties of titana-silica mixed oxide thin films
Korkmaz Erdural, Beril; Bölükbaşı, Ufuk; Karakaş, Gürkan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2012)
In this study photocatalytic antibacterial and self-cleaning activities of TiO2-SiO2 thin films as a function of TiO2/SiO2 ratios were investigated. TiO2-SiO2 mixed oxides were synthesized by sol-gel method and coated over soda-lime glass plates by dip coating technique. Escherichia coli was used as a model microorganism for the photocatalytic antibacterial tests. Degradation rate of methylene blue (MB) molecules was used to characterize photocatalytic self-cleaning activities of thin film surfaces. The max...
Biorefining of sugar-beet processing wastes by anaerobic biotechnology: waste stabilization and bioproduct formation
Alkaya, Emrah; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi; Department of Environmental Engineering (2008)
The main objective of this study was to investigate two of the possible exploitation routes of anaerobic digestion (acid-phase and methane-phase) for the treatment of sugar-beet processing wastes, while producing valuable biobased products. For this purpose, four sets of laboratory experiments were carried out in a stepwise fashion: First, in the biochemical methane potential (BMP) assay (Set-up 1) wastewater and beet-pulp were efficiently digested (63.787.3% COD removal and 69.689.3% VS reduction) in batch...

Avşar, Cemre; Karakaş, Gürkan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2013)
The aim of this study was preparation and characterization of photocatalytically active ZnO thin films on ITO glass sheets by electrodeposition method. In order to investigate the effect of synthesis temperature on the morphology and photocatalytic activity of the thin films, synthesis was performed at room temperature and at 70 °C. Characterizaton of the thin films was carried out by AFM, SEM - EDX, XRD and XPS analysis. Photocatalytic activity of the samples was tested by methylene blue and stearic acid d...

ALTAY, AHMET; CELEP, ADVİYE GÜLÇİN SAĞDIÇOĞLU; YAPRAK, AHMET EMRE; BAŞKÖSE, İSA; Bozoglu, Faruk (2017-03-01)
In this study, the possible uses of glassworts as potential food ingredients and their antiproliferative activity against colorectal adenocarcinoma cells together with their antioxidant and phytochemical profiles were investigated for the first time. MeOH extracts of five different taxa collected from different localities were screened for their antioxidant capacities by DPPH (IC50 2.91-5.49mg/ml) and ABTS (24.4-38.5molTE/gextract) assays. Salicornia freitagii exhibited the highest DPPH radical scavenging a...
Effect of boiling, roasting and frying on disintegration of peanuts in simulated gastric environment

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of boiling, roasting and frying on the digestion of peanuts in simulated gastric environment. Raw and processed peanuts were tested for disintegration in a model stomach system. The differences in disintegration rate were explained with respect to the changes in moisture absorption and texture. The absorption of moisture and the swelling of peanuts during gastric digestion were studied using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The results show that ...
