    (Springer, 2023) Ozcan, Iklime; Saricaoglu, Furkan Turker; Parlak, Mahmud Ekrem; Dagdelen, Adnan Fatih; Yigit Cinar, Aycan; Gul, Latife Betul; Tosun, Fatih
    In this study, essential oil (EO) from sucuk spice mix was incorporated into poly(lactic) acid (PLA) and nanofibers were produced via solution blow spinning (SBS). EO incorporation was performed at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30% (v/w) of PLA. Mechanical, barrier, microstructural, topographical, contact angle, chemical, thermal, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties against E. coli and S. aureus were characterized. Nanofibers were not soluble in water due to the hydrophobic nature of PLA. Microstructural images revealed that beadles and uniform nanofibers can be produced with SBS, and EO addition decreased the average fiber diameter. The surface topography of nanofibers was improved by increasing EO concentration. Melting and glass transition temperatures decreased and the thermal stability of nanofibers increased with EO addition. Nanofibers containing EO at 30% had the highest antioxidant capacity (40.02%). Nanofibers containing 20, 25, and 30% of EO had greater growth inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. As a result, PLA-based nanofibers containing sucuk spice mix EO can be produced with SBS, and nanofibers containing 20, 25, and 30% EO could be a promising system not only in drug delivery systems but also in food packaging.

    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Gul, Osman; Gul, Latife Betul; Parlak, Mahmut Ekrem; Saricaoglu, Furkan Turker; Atalar, Ilyas; Tornuk, Fatih
    In this study, the modification of sesame protein isolate extracted from sesame cake with high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) was carried out. For this purpose, protein dispersions (4 %) were subjected to HHP treatment (up to 600 MPa) and the structural, techno-functional and rheological properties of the sesame protein were determined. Considering the control sample, it was determined that the HHP caused changes in the SDS-PAGE band intensities. The solubility of sesame proteins increased from 54.28 % to 80.12 % with HHP treatment up to 400 MPa and obtained a minimum (11.06 mu m) and maximum (36.96 mV) values in particle size and absolute zeta potential, respectively. The FTIR results indicated that HHP treatment increased beta-sheets, reduced alpha-helix and beta-turn structure. The free-SH group and surface hydrophobicity (H-0) for control were determined as 4.15 mu mol/g protein and 25.47, respectively, and the highest free-SH group (8.21 mu mol/g) and surface hydrophobicity (41.14) were recorded for the protein samples treated at 400 MPa (P < 0.05). Similarly, the maximum WHC and OHC, foam capacity and ESI index of sesame protein were obtained by applying 400 MPa pressure. The samples treated with 0.1 MPa and 600 MPa pressure exhibited shear-thinning behavior, while the others exhibited Newtonian-type behavior. The highest viscosity was determined in the samples subjected to 200 MPa pressure. HHP treated samples were more elastic than control sample and gel formation temperature decreased with increasing pressure. Overall, HHP could constitute an important technological approach for improving the techno-functional properties of sesame protein as a functional ingredient in food system.

    (Elsevier, 2023) Sahin, Oya Irmak; Uzuner, Kubra; Dundar, Ayse Neslihan; Parlak, Mahmud Ekrem; Gul, Latife Betul; Dagdelen, Adnan Fatih; Simsek, Senay
    Food gels have become attractive due to their biocompatibility, environment-friendly characteristics, and wide array of medical and food applications. One of the main design principles of a functional food matrix is the encapsulation, protection, and controlled release of nutraceuticals. The present study utilized two products having great interest recently, phycocyanin and honey, which were embedded in a gel-type delivery system composed of different concentrations of alginate (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 g/100 mL) and gelatin (7 g/100 mL). The phycocyanin-honey gel balls (PHB) were characterized in terms of physical, rheological, textural, morphological, and sensory properties, as well as in vitro digestion, bio-accessibility, and total phenolic content release kinetics. The increasing alginate concentration significantly increased (p<0.05) total phenolic content. Also, increasing alginate ratios caused sheet-like inner layers observed in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. In vitro digestibility of phenolic content derived from both honey and phycocyanin was significantly improved (p<0.05) and protected from the mouth and gastric medium by hydrogel structures of alginate and gelatin. PHB showed high release (>approximate to 85 %) and bio-accessibility (>approximate to 84 %) of phenolic content in the intestinal medium. Consequently, alginate could be successfully used at 1.5 g/100 mL concentration with gelatin to enhance the functionality and bio-accessibility of functional ingredients without affecting sensory properties.

    Influence of pH and ionic strength on the bulk and interfacial rheology and technofunctional properties of hazelnut meal protein isolate
    (Elsevier, 2023) Gul, Osman; Gul, Latife Betul; Baskinci, Tugba; Parlak, Mahmut Ekrem; Saricaoglu, Furkan Turker
    The functional, bulk, and interfacial shear rheological properties of hazelnut protein isolate were studied at different pH values between 3.0 and 8.0 and ionic strength levels between 0.0 and 1.0 M. The results showed that pH significantly affected protein solubility, emulsion properties, water and oil holding capacities, foam stability, surface hydrophobicity, and free-SH groups. The highest surface hydrophobicity, free-SH groups, and better functional properties were observed at pH 8.0. Protein solubility also increased with increasing ionic strength up to 0.6 M. The emulsion and foam stability of hazelnut protein isolate showed similar changes with protein solubility. The flow behavior of hazelnut protein suspensions was found to be shear thinning with the highest consistency index at pH 3.0 and the lowest at pH 6.0, however, the ionic strength did not significantly affect the consistency coefficient but did cause a significant change in the flow behavior index, with the lowest value observed at 0.6 M. The best gel structure in hazelnut proteins was observed at pH 3.0 and 4.0. The addition of ions at 0.4 and 0.6 M concentrations resulted in an improved viscoelastic character. The hazelnut protein isolate was also found to form solid-like viscoelastic layers at both air-water and oil-water interfaces, with the interfacial adsorption behavior affected by both pH and ionic strength. Overall, these results suggest that pH and ionic strength have significant effects on the functional and rheological properties of hazelnut protein isolate, which may have the potential as an auxiliary substance in food systems.

    Influence of thermosonication (TS) process on the quality parameters of high pressure homogenized hazelnut milk from hazelnut oil by-products
    (Springer India, 2019) Atalar, Ilyas; Gul, Osman; Sarıcaoğlu, Furkan Türker; Besir, Aysegul; Gul, Latife Betul; Yazici, Fehmi
    Hazelnut, an important source of nutrition, is reasonably expensive for hazelnut milk production. Hazelnut cake, a by-product from hazelnut oil production by cold press extraction technique, does not contain any chemical residue and can be used for hazelnut beverage production. This study investigates the effects of thermosonication process on the quality parameters of hazelnut milks and also compares the observed results with the conventional thermal process. Different thermosonication conditions at different amplitude levels (40 and 60% amplitudes for 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 min and 80% amplitude for 3, 5, 10 and 15 min) were studied for physicochemical and rheological properties, as well as microbial inactivation and bioactive compounds of hazelnut milk produced from the cold pressed hazelnut cake as byproduct of oil production. In general, sonication process significantly improved the total phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, appearance and structural properties like syneresis, sedimentation, viscosity and consistency of samples. The application of thermosonication at 60% amplitude for 25 min and 80% amplitude for 15 min achieved complete inactivation of microorganisms (total aerobic mesophilic bacteria and yeast-mould). Complete inactivation of microorganisms was also achieved by conventional pasteurization at 85 degrees C, but this treatment caused some undesirable changes such as loses of bioactive compounds and deterioration of structural properties. The findings of the present study indicate that thermosonication can be successfully utilized for commercial processing of hazelnut milk with improved quality. This technique allows the production of hazelnut milks in safety and quality standards with highly nutritious then the conventional product.

    (Acad Brasileira De Ciencias, 2022) Gul, Osman; Atalar, Ilyas; Mortas, Mustafa; Saricaoglu, Furkan Turker; Besir, Aysegul; Gul, Latife Betul; Yazici, Fehmi
    Hazelnut beverage is a plant-based beverage produced from hazelnut cake as a by-product obtained after cold press extraction. It has high nutritional value and a significant percentage of consumers show interest in it due to its health benefits. In this study, hazelnut beverage manufactured from by-products of hazelnut oil industry was incorporated into functional yoghurt production. Five formulations (ratio of 1/0, 3/1, 2/1, 1/1, 0/1, v/v, cow milk/hazelnut beverage) of yoghurt-like products were prepared to indicate the storage period of the samples and the analysis performed. For yoghurt production, hazelnut beverage and cows' milk were standardized to 14.5 g 100 g(-1) with skimmed milk powder. The use of hazelnut beverage in yoghurt production negatively affected L. bulgaricus counts. Water holding capacity and viscosity values were improved by using hazelnut beverage. Increasing hazelnut beverage concentration led to an increase in the total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity, malic acid levels and also unsaturated fatty acids, especially oleic and linoleic acid. Using the ratio of 3/1 was found the best in view of appearance, flavor and overall acceptability. Based on the structural, rheological and sensorial properties, this study could guide the dairy industry to use hazelnut beverage obtained from hazelnut cake.

    Structural Characterization, Technofunctional and Rheological Properties of Sesame Proteins Treated by High-Intensity Ultrasound
    (Mdpi, 2023) Gul, Osman; Saricaoglu, Furkan Turker; Atalar, Ilyas; Gul, Latife Betul; Tornuk, Fatih; Simsek, Senay
    Plant-derived proteins, such as those from sesame seeds, have the potential to be used as versatile food ingredients. End-use functionality can be further improved by high-intensity ultrasound treatments. The effects of high-intensity ultrasound on the properties of sesame protein isolates from cold-pressed sesame cake were evaluated. The SDS-PAGE demonstrated no significant changes in the molecular weight of proteins. Ultrasound treatments resulted in decreased particle size with a more uniform distribution, resulting in the exposure of hydrophobicity and free -SH groups and increased zeta potential. Although FTIR spectra of proteins were similar after ultrasonication, a partial increase in the intensity of the amide A band was observed. The ultrasound significantly (p < 0.05) affected the secondary structure of proteins. While optical micrographics revealed a dispersed structure with smaller particles after treatments, microstructural observations indicated more rough and irregular surfaces. Water solubility was improved to 80.73% in the sample subjected to 6 min of ultrasonication. Sesame protein solutions treated for 4 and 6 min exhibited viscoelastic structure (storage modulus (G') > loss modulus (G'')). In addition, the gelation temperature of proteins decreased to about 60-65 degrees C with increasing treatment time. Overall, ultrasound is a useful technique for the modification of sesame protein isolates.

    Zein-Curcumin Composite Edible Films for Intelligent Packaging: A Natural pH-Sensing Indicator to Monitor Sea Bream Freshness
    (Mdpi, 2025) Demirtas, Burcu; Keser, Beyza; Tural, Serpil; Gul, Latife Betul; Yilmaz, Ilay; Parlak, Mahmut Ekrem; Saricaoglu, Furkan Turker
    This study developed and characterized zein-based edible films enriched with curcumin as natural pH-sensitive indicators for monitoring fish freshness. Colorimetric films were prepared with different curcumin concentrations (1-7% wt) and evaluated for physicochemical, mechanical, optical, and antioxidant properties. Increasing curcumin content reduced water vapor permeability (0.085-0.110 gmm/m(2)hkPa), lowered water contact angles (<90 degrees), and enhanced hydrophilicity. Films exhibited high brightness, with decreased a* and increased b* values, while light transmission decreased, improving UV barrier properties. Colorimetric response (Delta E*) across pH 3-10 was more pronounced at higher curcumin levels, confirming pH-sensitivity. Antioxidant activity significantly increased with curcumin loading (up to 24.18 mol Trolox/g). Mechanical analysis revealed decreased tensile strength but improved elongation at break, bursting strength, and deformation, supported by SEM images showing more homogeneous, micro-porous structures at 7% curcumin. Zein films containing 7% (wt) curcumin (Z/CR7) were applied to gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) fillets stored at 4 degrees C for 13 days. Results showed lower TBARS and TVB-N values in Z/CR7 compared to the control, indicating delayed lipid oxidation and spoilage. Colorimetric changes in the films corresponded with fish freshness deterioration, providing a clear visual indicator. Microbiological results supported chemical findings, though antimicrobial effects were limited. Curcumin-enriched zein films demonstrated strong potential as intelligent, biodegradable packaging for real-time monitoring of seafood quality.
