(Slovak Forest Products Research Inst, 2020) Fidan, Muhammed Said; Yasar, Sekip Sadiye; Komut, Osman; Yasar, Mehmet
The aim of this study is to help to create a healthier environment by measuring the noise levels in the furniture and lumber sectors of forest products industry. In this study, noise measurement for approximately 3 min has been conducted in 4 measurement spots in the side of the machinery, in the factory entrance and in full and empty state for each machinery; from 3 different chosen spots in enterprises producing lumber. Measurements have been recorded as 720, from each machine as 36 measurements, with the condition to be recorded every 5 sec for 3 min. For this purpose, noise measurements have been carried out in 17 workplaces producing lumber and results have been compared statistically. As a result of the obtained findings, it is understood that the noise levels of thickness machinery don't exceed the value for the upper limit stated in the regulations. However, vertical wood band sawmill and band saw machines have been observed to go over this limit. Besides, some factors of planning and multi slitting machine don't exceed this limit, some of them exceed. As a result, it has been conducted that when noise levels of machinery used in the lumber industry enterprises exceed the upper limit stated in the regulations, they can pose a serious threat to human health.

Türkiye’de mobilya endüstrisi sektörü küçük ve orta ölçekli işletme yapısıyla ülke genelinde önemli bir istihdam alanı sağlamaktadır. Diğer yandan sektör, iş sağlığı ve güvenliği hususunda olumsuzlukların fazlasıyla yaşandığı faaliyet alanları arasında yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, sanayi bölgelerinden uzak küçük ve orta ölçekli ağaç işleri ve mobilya endüstrisi işletmelerinde iş sağlığı ve güvenliği koşullarının değerlendirilmesidir. Bu kapsamda toplam 54 çalışan ile yüz yüze görüşme esasına dayalı anket uygulaması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada 5’li likert ölçeğinde hazırlanmış önermeler ile işyerlerinin durumu ve çalışanların konuya ilişkin görüşleri tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırmada, elde edilen veriler üzerinde oransal karşılaştırmaların yanı sıra, iş kazasına maruz kalma değişkenine göre iş güvenliği faktörlerinin analizinde Mann Witney U testi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, katılımcı işletmelerin %67 oranında faaliyet süresinin 5 yılın altında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca kişisel koruyucu donanım kullanımı ve periyodik sağlık muayenelerde eksikliklerin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcıların iş kazası maruziyeti %72 olarak belirlenirken, el ve parmakların ağırlıklı yaralanan uzuvlar olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Diğer yandan iş kazası maruziyetinin iş güvenliği faktörlerine yönelik görüşlere ilişkin istatistiksel düzeyde anlamlı farklılıklar (p<0,05) oluşturduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, küçük ve orta ölçekli ağaç işleri ve mobilya işletmelerinde iş sağlığı ve güvenliği kültürünün yeterince gelişmediği söylenebilir.

(North Carolina State University, 2020) Fidan, Muhammed Said; Ertas, Murat
The procedure for the liquefaction of apricot stone shells was reported in Part 1. Part 2 of this work determines the morphological, mechanical, and thermal properties of the bio-based rigid polyurethane foam composites (RPUFc). In this study, the thermal conductivity, compressive strength, compressive modulus, thermogravimetric analysis, flammability tests (horizontal burning and limited oxygen index (LOI)) in the flame retardants), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) (cell diameter in the SEM) tests of the RPUFc were performed and compared with control samples. The results showed the thermal conductivity (0.0342 to 0.0362 mW/mK), compressive strength (10.5 to 14.9 kPa), compressive modulus (179.9 to 180.3 kPa), decomposition and residue in the thermogravimetric analysis (230 to 491 °C, 15.31 to 21.61%), UL-94 and LOI in the flame retardants (539.5 to 591.1 mm/min, 17.8 to 18.5%), and cell diameter in the SEM (50.6 to 347.5 pm) of RPUFc attained from liquefied biomass. The results were similar to those of foams obtained from industrial RPUFs, and demonstrated that bio-based RPUFc obtained from liquefied apricot stone shells could be used as a reinforcement filler in the preparation of RPUFs, specifically in construction and insulation materials. Moreover, liquefied apricot stone shell products have potential to be fabricated into rigid polyurethane foam composites. © 2020. All Rights Reserved.

Biobased Rigid Polyurethane Foam Prepared from Apricot Stone Shell-based Polyol for Thermal Insulation Application, Part 1: Synthesis, Chemical, and Physical Properties
(North Carolina State Univ Dept Wood & Paper Sci, 2020) Fidan, Muhammed Said; Ertaş, Murat
Polyurethane foam is one of the most versatile construction insulation materials because of its low density, high mechanical properties, and low thermal conductivity. This study examined biobased rigid polyurethane foam composites from apricot stone shells, which are lignocellulosic residues. The apricot stone shells were liquefied with a PEG-400 (polyethylene glycol-400) and glycerin mixture in the presence of sulfuric acid catalyst at 140 to 160 degrees C for 120 min. Rigid polyurethane-type foam composites from the reaction were successfully prepared with different chemical components. Biobased polyurethane-type foam composites were successfully produced from the liquefied apricot stone shells. The FTIR spectra of liquefaction products confirmed successful liquefaction of products and that they are sources of hydroxyl groups. The liquefaction yield (81.6 to 96.7%), hydroxyl number (133.5 to 204.8 mg KOH per g), the highest elemental analysis amount (C, H, N, S, 0) (62.08, 6.32, 6.12, 0.13, and 25.35%), and density (0.0280 to 0.0482 g per cm(3)) of the rigid polyurethane foam composites were comparable to foams made from commercial RPUF composites.

(Univ Agriculture, Fac Veterinary Science, 2025) Oz, Mehmet; Fidan, Muhammed Said; Baltaci, Cemalettin
In this study; aroma components, some biochemical properties (sugar amount (HPLC-DAD), vitamin C amount, water-soluble solids amount) and antioxidant capacities (bioactive component contents and antioxidant capacity amounts) of V. arctostaphylos and V. myrtillus fruits were determined. Methanol extraction was applied to the fruit samples, which were made homogeneous after being shredded. Aroma (volatile) components were determined by HS-SPME/GC-MS (Headspace-Solid Phase Micro Extraction) technique combined with Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. Total antioxidant activity (TAC), total phenolic substance amounts (TPC) and total flavonoid substance amounts (TFC), which are among the bioactive component contents, were examined. As antioxidant capacity, the amount of free radical scavenging (DPPH and ABTS) activity and the amount of ferric (III) ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) capacity were determined. As a result of the analyses, 27 and 33 aroma compounds were determined in V. arctostaphylos and V. myrtillus fruits, respectively. The main components found among the aroma compounds are alpha-terpineol (22.67%), (E)-2-hexenal (17.63%), and linalool (9.78%). in the V. arctostaphylos fruit. V. myrtillus fruits were determined to contain menthol (22.93%), alpha-eudesmol (11.50%), and germacrene D (8.33%). In addition, the chemical classes of aroma compounds identified were monoterpenoid, aldehyde, hydrocarbon, alcohol, ester, sesquiterpene, and sesquiterpenoid classes in V. arctostaphylos and V. myrtillus fruits. Moreover, the total sugar amount in V. arctostaphylos fruits was found to be 11.30%, and the total sugar amount in V. myrtillus fruits was 13.94%. The amount of vitamin C in V. arctostaphylos fruits was detected as 33.26 mg/kg, and the amount of vitamin C in V. myrtillus fruits was contained as 44.17 mg/kg. The amount of water-soluble solids in V. arctostaphylos and V. myrtillus fruits was determined to be 12.13% and 13.43%, respectively. The amounts of total sugar, vitamin C and water-soluble solids in V. myrtillus fruits were higher than the amounts in V. arctostaphylos fruits. According to the antioxidant results, the TAC, TPC, DPPH, ABTS and FRAP values of the methanol extract obtained from V. myrtillus fruits, excluding TFC, demonstrated higher antioxidant features than the values attained from V. arctostaphylos fruits.
Chemical composition of essential oils and comparative analysis of enzyme inhibitory, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities in essential oils of endemic Gelasia sericea (Aucher ex DC.) Zaika, Sukhor. & N. Kilian
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Fidan, Muhammed Said; Baltaci, Cemalettin; Akmese, Osman; Sefali, Abdurrahman; Aygul, Imdat; Oz, Mehmet
In this study, essential oil from the aerial parts of Gelasia sericea (Aucher ex DC.) Zaika, Sukhor. & N. Kilian was extracted via hydrodistillation using a Clevenger apparatus. GC-MS/FID analysis determined aldehydes (28.31%) as the dominant group, with eucalyptol (8.71%) as the main constituent. Antioxidant activities were exhibited using DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays, with the essential oil demonstrating relatively higher antioxidant properties. The essential oil also showed higher levels of bioactive components, including total antioxidant capacity (160.26 mg AA eq./100 mL), total phenolic content (21.57 mg GA eq./100 mL), and total flavonoid content (14.85 mg QE eq./100 mL). While G. sericea essential oil demonstrated some antioxidant activity, it was significantly lower compared to the reference standard ascorbic acid (AA). The antimicrobial results showed relatively higher antimicrobial activity compared to most bacterial and fungal strains, as evidenced by lower MIC and MBC values and larger inhibition zones. Nevertheless, chloramphenicol (CH) and nalidixic acid (NA) continually showed superior antimicrobial efficacy, with the lowest MIC and MBC values and the largest inhibition zones. The essential oil also demonstrated potent enzyme inhibitory activity, especially against CA-II, AChE, and BChE, with the lowest IC50 value observed for CA-II, highlighting its potential as a potent enzyme inhibitor. However, the essential oil exhibited comparatively greater inhibition against AChE, BChE and alpha-amylase but was less effective overall. These findings suggest that the G. sericea essential oil has important antioxidant potential and enzyme inhibitory activity, while the essential oil shows varying efficacy across different enzymes.

(North Carolina State University, 2026) Aygul, İmdat; Öz, Mehmet; Fidan, Muhammed Said; Baltacı, Cemalettin; Akmeşe, Osman; Sefali, Abdurrahman
This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical composition and biological activities of Ferulago platycarpa methanol extract (ME) and essential oil (EO). The EO was obtained via hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC-MS, revealing sesquiterpene hydrocarbons as the dominant class, with caryophyllene (65.8%) and ?-pinene (9.65%) as the major constituents. The methanol extract was subjected to LC-MS/MS analysis, which identified eleven phenolic compounds, with chlorogenic acid as the most abundant. The extract showed significantly higher total phenolic (1196.22±11.64 mg GAE/100g) and antioxidant (1870.00±17.69 mg QEE/100g) contents compared to the ME. In vitro enzyme inhibition assays demonstrated that the methanol extract exhibited potent inhibitory activity against carbonic anhydrase II (CA-II, ICSO= 0.023 pg/mL), acetylcholinesterase (AChE, ICSO= 110 pg/mL), and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE, IC50= 390 pg/mL). In contrast, the EO showed higher inhibition against ?-amylase (IC50= 5920±10.45 pg/mL) and BChE (IC50= 1.32±0.65 pg/mL), while its ?-glucosidase showed no inhibition. Antioxidant assays indicated superior activity for the methanol extract compared to the EO. Furthermore, antimicrobial testing revealed that the EO demonstrated broader and more effective antimicrobial action, exhibiting lower MIC and MBC values against several bacterial and fungal strains. Collectively, these results highlight F. platycarpa as a valuable source of bioactive compounds with promising applications in antidiabetic, neuroprotective, antioxidant, and antimicrobial therapies. © 2025, The Author(s).

(North Carolina State University, 2026) Öz, Mehmet; Fidan, Muhammed Said; Baltacı, Cemalettin; Akmeşe, Osman; Sefali, Abdurrahman; Aygul, İmdat
Enzyme inhibition activities, phenolic compounds, antioxidant activities, bioactive compounds, antimicrobial activities, and chemical components of essential oil and methanol extracts obtained from the aerial parts of S. cretica subsp. anatolica were investigated. The main phenolic compounds of aerial parts were catechin, oleuropein, and epicatechin. The determined enzyme inhibitor activities highlight the potential of S. cretica subsp. anatolica as a source of bioactive compounds, particularly for carbonic anhydrase and cholinesterase inhibition. The essential oil and methanol extract exhibited remarkable activities against CA-II, AChE, and BChE, although they were less potent than standard inhibitors. The essential oils generally showed stronger antimicrobial activity compared to the 30% methanol extracts across most bacterial and fungal strains, as evidenced by minimum lethal concentration (MLC) and lower minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values and larger inhibition zones. Chloramphenicol used alone exhibited the highest antimicrobial efficacy, with the lowest MIC and MLC values and the largest inhibition zones. The essential oils of S. cretica subsp. anatolica were determined as esters, oxygenated sesquiterpenes, and aldehydes in aerial parts. The main components were found to be hexahydrofarnesyl acetone in the aerial parts. © 2025, North Carolina State University. All rights reserved.

DETERMINATION OF CERTAIN PROPERTIES OF SCOTCH PINE (PINUS SYLVESTRIS L.) WOOD WHICH IS IMPREGNATED WITH BORON COMPOUNDS AND QUECHUA
(Slovak Forest Products Research Inst, 2018) Sen, Selim; Fidan, Muhammed Said; Alkan, Elif; Yasar, S. Sadiye
As the industrialisation and technological developments increase; the search for functional material which is environment-friendly, non-toxic, flame resistant, with a broad applicability and with high-temperature endurance also increases. Even though the wood material corresponds most of these features, its possession of an organic structure causes it to be affected negatively by damages occurring under proper conditions in the outdoor environment. Due to this reason, this study is conducted to prevent damages (biotic, abiotic pests, fire, etc.) caused by the environment to the wooden material, and to determine some physical and mechanical properties of wooden material impregnated with quechua, borax and boric acid, which are used to extend the usage life. Those features are needed in an outdoor environment. The Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) test specimens are prepared with borax, boric acid, borax+boric acid, from borax compounds, which have a great potential in Turkey, and with quechua, one of the natural impregnation substances. Then these samples are impregnated with three different (1%, 3%, 5%) solution concentrations according to ASTM 1413-76 standards and some physical-mechanical property changes are investigated. After impregnation, samples are tested and compared with control samples. According to the test results; the lowest oven dried density change is obtained in borax as 0.46 g.cm(-3) in terms of boron compounds and the retention amount is determined to be highest with 3.83 k.gm(-3) in the samples impregnated with boric acid. The bending strength and elastic modulus are found to be highest with 83.53 MPa and 10281 MPa in the samples impregnated with boric acid. When examined at the concentration level, it is determined to be highest with 81.89 MPa in samples with 3% concentration. There are statistical discrepancies with 55.77 MPa in the comprehensive strength parallel to grain in boric acid in terms of boron compounds.

Enzyme inhibitory, antioxidant, antimicrobial activities, and phenolic profiles of the methanol extract of Gelasia sericea an endemic species
(Univ Agr Sci & Veterinary Med Cluj-Napoca, 2025) Aygul, Imdat; Akmese, Osman; Sefali, Abdurrahman; Baltaci, Cemalettin; Oz, Mehmet; Fidan, Muhammed Said
This study aimed to investigate, for the first time, the phytochemical composition, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and enzyme inhibitory properties of the methanolic extract of Gelasia sericea (Aucher ex DC.) Zaika, Sukhor. & N.Kilian. The extract demonstrated a moderate yield (6.55 g/100 g dry plant material) and was found to be rich in phenolic acids, particularly ferulic acid (17182.97 mu g g-1), followed by caffeic acid, protocatechuic acid, and p-coumaric acid. Antioxidant analyses revealed high total phenolic (388.86 mg GA eq./100 g), total flavonoid (74.03 mg QE eq./100 g), and total antioxidant capacity (503.33 mg AA eq./100 g). The extract exhibited remarkable ABTS radical scavenging activity (95.99%, IC50 = 37.59 mg ml-1) and considerable ferric-ion reducing power (974.78 mg FeSO4 eq./100 g). Antimicrobial assays indicated moderate inhibitory effects, with stronger activity against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis) and the yeast Candida albicans, whereas Gram-negative bacteria were less susceptible. The extract's MIC values ranged between 0.20-3.25 mg ml-1, and MLC values between 0.41-6.50 mg ml-1, which were higher than those of standard antibiotics. Enzyme inhibition assays revealed moderate activity against carbonic anhydrase II (IC50 = 0.0136 mu g ml-1) and weak inhibition of cholinesterases and alpha-glucosidase, while alpha-amylase inhibition was relatively more pronounced (IC50 = 13350.00 mu g ml-1). Overall, these findings highlight G. sericea as a valuable natural source of phenolic acids and antioxidants, with promising potential for applications in functional foods, nutraceuticals, and phytopharmaceuticals. However, the relatively limited antimicrobial and enzyme inhibitory activities suggest the need for further studies on bioavailability, in vivo efficacy, and compound isolation to optimize its practical applications.
Investigation of aroma components obtained by HS-SPME (Headspace-solid phase microextraction) method of wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca L.) and strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) fruits
(Gumushane University, 2024) Öz, Mehmet; Baltacı, Cemalettin; Fidan, Muhammed Said
Wild strawberries (Fragaria vesca) are in the category of non-wood forest products due to their unique fragrance, aroma, and natural ability to grow. In this study, aroma components of wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca) and strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) fruits were determined by Headspace-Solid Phase Micro-Extraction technique combined with Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS). In addition, it aimed to compare the results of both fruits with each other by chemical classification of the aroma components determined from wild strawberry and strawberry fruits. As a result of the HS-SPME/GC-MS analysis; 50 and 76 aroma components were determined in wild strawberry and strawberry fruits, respectively. The structure of aroma components was defined as 97.63% of wild strawberries and 98.26% of strawberries. The main components in the aroma compounds are 2-undecanone (10.38%), ?-decalactone (8.81%), and eugenol (7.14%) in wild strawberry fruit; nerolidol (29.44%), ?-decalactone (26.36%) and bisabolol oxide II (4.23%) were found in strawberry fruits. In addition, chemical classes of identified aroma compounds were determined as ester, terpene or terpenoid, fatty acids, aldehyde, and ketone classes in Fragaria vesca and Fragaria x ananassa fruits. When the results are examined, it is seen that strawberry fruits are found to be higher than wild strawberry fruits in terms of percentage of aroma components, number of aroma components, and percentage of dominant components. © 2024, Gumushane University.
