Sucrose is one of the main ingredients used in food industry. It is obtained mainly from two different sources; sugar beet and sugar cane. Due to govermental regulations, cane sugar is not allowed to be produced in Turkey. On the other hand, cane sugar can be illegally sold as beet sugar. Since molecular structure of sucrose is same, it is difficult to differentiate sources by using chemical methods. Therefore, developing more practical and affordable methods would be valuable for the food industry. Optical spectroscopy (UV-VIS-NIR) can be a promising technique for detection of differences. In this thesis, sucrose samples (cane, beet) were collected from nine countries to prepare 25% (w/w) sucrose water solutions and their absorbances were recorded (200-1380nm). Results showed that, spectral signature differences were observable between 200-600 nm. It is known that improving the prediction accuracy requires chemometrics, such as linear discriminant analysis (LDA), soft independent modelling of class analogy (SIMCA), k-nearest neighbors (KNN) and classification and regression trees (CART). All methods showed high performance, but LDA gave 100% correct classification with a simple interpretation. In addition, binary mixtures of these sugar were also prepared for quantification analysis. Multiple linear regression (MLR) with Savitsky Golay (SG) and the first derivative, gave the most acceptable results of root mean square error of calibration (RMSEC), prediction (RMSEP) and residual predictive deviation (RPD) values of 2.956, 3.026 and 10.251 respectively. The obtained results seemed promising for the plant source of sucrose to be detected by using UV region and chemometrics.

Characterization of Pectin-Based Gels: A 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Relaxometry Study Beira, Maria J.; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Sebastião, Pedro J. (2021-10-01) Rare sugars are monosaccharides and their derivatives that are not commonly found in nature. d-Allulose is a rare sugar that is C-3 epimer of fructose and presents an alternative to sucrose with potential health benefits. In this study, different amounts of sucrose, d-allulose, and soy protein isolate (SPI) were used to prepare a set of pectin gels. The effect of these ingredients on the gels was studied at both a molecular level, by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometry, and a macroscopic level, ...
Effect of high hydrostatic pressure in physicochemical properties and in vitro digestibility of cornstarch by nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry Okur, İlhami; Özel, Barış; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Alpas, Hami (2019-10-01) Starch is the major polysaccharide consumed by human being. It is not classified as a dietary fiber as it is digestible by the enzymes present in the saliva and small intestines. However, it is possible to modify starch with thermal and nonthermal techniques. High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) is a cold pasteurization technique that has increased application in food industry with minimum effect on nutritional quality of the food products. It is hypothesized that the use of HHP could be a modification strategy ...
Decolorization of sugar syrups using commercial and sugar beet pulp based activated carbons Mudoga, H. L.; Yücel, Hayrettin; Kincal, N. S. (2008-06-01) Sugar syrup decolorization was studied using two commercial and eight beet pulp based activated carbons. In an attempt to relate decolorizing performances to other characteristics, surface areas, pore volumes, bulk densities and ash contents of the carbons in the powdered form; pH and electrical conductivities of their suspensions and their color adsorption properties from iodine and molasses solution were determined. The color removal capabilities of all carbons were measured at 1/100 (w/w) dosage, and iso...
Effect of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) in physicochemical and textural properties of starch Okur, İlhami; Alpas, Hami; Department of Food Engineering (2018) Starch is the major polysaccharide consumed by human being. It is not classified as a dietary fiber as it is digestible by the enzymes present in the saliva and small intestines. However, it could become possible to modify the starch with thermal and non-thermal techniques. High Hydrostatic Pressure (HHP) is a cold pasteurization technique that has increased application in the food industry with minimum effect on the nutritional quality of the products. It is hypothesized that the use of HHP could be a modi...
Investigation of physico-chemical properties of soy proteins glycated with d-psicose Beylikçi, Sermet Can; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Department of Food Engineering (2019) Proteins are one of the most essential food components that is constantly used by food industry because of their functional properties as well as their nutritional value. Soy protein has become popular among the usable protein resources because of its various functional properties such as foaming, gelling, emulsifying and water holding capacities. However, certain drawbacks of soy protein like limited solubility especially in acidic environment, emerge the need for modification for further use in broader va...
