Balaban, Osman Tolga; Kamiloğlu, Aybike; Kara, Hasan Hüseyin
Abstract: In this research, some physical and bioactive properties of tea samples collected from every processing stage of black tea production were investigated. The processing stages were significantly effective on the investigated properties (moisture content, color parameters [L*, a*, and b*], and pH values the total phenolic substance, antioxidant activity) (p < 0.01). The antioxidant activities were found to be at a high level in fresh tea but decreased during the processing stages. Furthermore, the lowest activity was observed in the drying stage for extracts prepared with water and in the drying and sorting stages for extracts prepared with ethanol. In addition, it was determined that palmitic acid, myristic acid, and capric acid as saturated fatty acids, oleic acid, heptadecenoic acid, and eicosenoic acid as unsaturated fatty acids formed the fatty acid profile. Palmitic acid was determined to be the dominant fatty acid in tea samples. Practical Application: Tea is a beverage known to have positive health effects. The chemical structure of tea is very effective in providing these positive effects on health. Black tea production takes place in five stages in general terms (withering, rolling, oxidation, drying, and sorting stages) after the harvesting. These processes are very effective in the quality properties of tea. This research provides information about effects of processing stages on black tea. Our results demonstrate that processing was significantly effective on the physicochemical and bioactive properties of tea. Functionality of bioactive compounds could be maintained by optimization of the applied processes.

The aim of this study was to determine the physicochemical properties, bioactive substance content, and microbiological quality of sixty different honey samples collected from twelve different regions of Bayburt, Turkey. The samples were analyzed for their sugar, moisture, total phenolic, total flavonoid contents, and water activity, conductivity, pH values and colour, antiradical activity, and DSC properties. As a result of physicochemical analyses, it was determined that the samples examined complied with the standard values defined in the Turkish Food Codex in terms of the parameters examined. The results of the study showed that the total phenolic content (219.43-768.82 mg GAE kg−1), total flavonoid content (31.29-118.7 mg CAE kg−1) and DPPH (12.98%-94.79%) parameters differ widely among the honey samples. A principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to correlate the characteristics of honey with honey samples collected from different regions. This is the first comprehensive and original report about the physicochemical properties of honey produced in Bayburt, a region close to the Anzer region where the most expensive honey, Anzer honey, is produced.

This study examined the characteristics of 13 samples from 10 different brands of chocolate spread that are sold in markets in Turkey. Humidity level, oil content, pH value, color values (L*, a*, b*), were determined, chocolate fat samples were tested for free fat acidity rate, peroxide value, iodine value and fat acids composition. The samples composed of 14 different fatty acids. Dominant fatty acids were palmitic acid (9.82-27.19 %), oleic acid (26.27-56.05 %) and linoleic acid (10.87-52.40 %). It was observed that saturated fatty acids (SFA) of the samples ranged between 17.01 and 32.03 %, monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) ranged between 19.74 and 57.00 % and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) ranged between 11.01 and 52.51 %. The analyses showed that contents of the samples complied with legal limits. The types of fatty acids used were determined to be remarkable due to their fatty acids composition.

Bayrak, Ali; Kıralan, Mustafa; Kara, Hasan Hüseyin
This study analyzed volatile aromatic compounds present in the oils of Turkish olive cultivars. The cultivars Gemlik, AyvalIk, Memecik, Domat, Uslu, HalhalI, Kilis yaǧlIk, Nizip yaǧlIk, Haşebi and Karamani were harvested from important Turkish olive-growing locations, such as BalIkesir, Bursa, Manisa, AydIn, Muǧla, İzmir, Kilis, Mersin, Hatay and Gaziantep during the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 growing seasons. Olive samples were collected in two harvest years, at almost the same maturity stage, and processed under the same conditions. Headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) was used to analyze volatile aroma compounds in the olive oil samples. Forty-seven compounds were characterized and quantified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/flame ionization detector (GC-MS/FID). The most abundant identified compounds were trans-2-hexenal, hexanal and 3-methyl-1-butanol. The trans-2-hexenal, hexanal and 3-methyl-1-butanol contents of oil samples varied between 0.86-67.15, 3.93-61.82 and 0.48-84.74 %, respectively.
