Mercan, Emin
This study aimed to determine the effects of the ozone treatment of film-forming solutions (FFSs) containing whey protein concentrate (WPC) and gelatine on biopolymer films’ physical, mechanical, and thermal properties. Film samples were produced from a FFS that was ozone-treated at 0 (control), 5, 10, and 30 min. Ozone treatment caused an increase in the pH values of the FFS, whereas the zeta potential remained negative. The films became lighter in colour, slightly greenish, and more opaque with longer ozonation times. The control sample showed the highest thermogravimetric weight loss (92.15%). The weight loss of the samples decreased with increasing ozone treatment time. The application of ozone treatment on the FFS enhanced the films’ mechanical properties. Increased ozone treatment time improved the film samples’ tensile strength, elongation at break, and toughness values. In conclusion, the results of this study demonstrate that the ozone treatment of FFS containing whey protein concentrate and gelatine can significantly enhance the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of biopolymer films. These results highlight the potential of ozone treatment as a viable method for improving the performance and quality of biopolymer films used in food packaging, offering promising advantages for sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging solutions.

Bebek, Müşerref; Sert, Durmuş; Mercan, Emin
This study aimed to investigate the effects of the demineralisation process on powder flow, physicochemical, functional, and microstructural properties of whey powders (WP). WP samples were produced from 50, 70 and 90% demineralised sweet whey concentrates. Although the salt, ash, and lactic acid content of the powders decreased with increasing demineralisation, pH increased. D [3,2] (surface area mean diameter) value of WP samples ranged from 28.2 to 60.9 μm, in which demineralisation increased the particle size. The colour values showed increased darkness and yellowness, attributed to the higher demineralisation process. Demineralisation improved solubility and foaming characteristics, whereas it decreased the wettability and dispersibility of samples. The caking and cohesion characteristics of WP were significantly decreased by demineralisation. Demineralisation significantly improved the powder flow characteristics of samples. The cohesion index decreased depending on the demineralisation degree increased. Also, demineralisation decreased the cake strength and compaction coefficient of samples. Mineral content decreased with increasing demineralisation, with some minerals showing more sensitivity to demineralisation than others. Scanning Electron Microscope images showed reduced caking and clustering in samples with higher degrees of demineralisation. The results highlighted the importance of demineralisation as an effective parameter to control the properties of WP. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the degree of demineralisation had a substantial impact on the physical and functional properties of WP.

Sert, Durmuş; Mercan, Emin; Tanrıkulu, Mehmet
Yoghurt samples were produced from sheep milk that was high-pressure homogenisation (HPH) treated at 0 (control), 30, 50, 70 and 100 MPa. Depending on the acidification kinetic parameters, HPH treatment increased the acidification rate and shortened the fermentation time. HPH-treated samples had lower pH, increased water holding capacity, decreased syneresis, decreased particle size and higher acetaldehyde content than the control. At 0 and 14 days of storage, the tyrosine value of HPH-treated samples was higher than the control. Although HPH resulted in higher L∗ and a∗ values, it caused lower b∗ values in yoghurt samples. Up to 30 MPa, HPH increased firmness and consistency; however, these were decreased above 50 MPa. During storage, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus counts ranged from 6.12 to 8.20 log cfu g−1 and 5.70 to 8.96 log cfu g−1, respectively. Depending on the increasing pressure, HPH caused higher S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus counts.

Sert, Durmuş; Mercan, Emin
In the present study, goat milk powder (GMP) was produced from sonicated whole milk concentrates for 0–60 min. The physicochemical, functional, and microbiological properties and powder flow behaviours of the GMP samples were determined. Sonication decreased firmness and consistency values of milk concentrate with the increased treatment time. L∗ value of the sonicated GMPs was higher than that of the control. The bulk density of samples was between 0.681 and 0.736 g cm−3, increased by sonication. However, sonication resulted in lower wettability, dispersibility, and foaming capacity. The D [3,2] value of GMPs ranged from 21.9 to 31.1 μm, increased by sonication. Sonication caused reduced cohesion and caking properties of GMPs compared with the control. Also, lower compaction levels at different flow rates were determined in the sonicated samples. In general, powder flow analyses showed that sonication improved GMP flow behaviour. Sonicated samples had reduced microbial load compared with the control.

The impact of ozone treatment (OT) for 0 (control) 30, 60, 90 and 120 min to whey concentrate (WC) on powder flow, physicochemical, functional, and microbiological characteristics of whey powders (WPs) was examined. OT decreased the cohesiveness of WC, whereas the firmness, consistency and index of viscosity were not affected. OT caused higher L∗ and b∗ values in WP and improved the solubility and foaming capacity, but decreased foaming stability and bulk density. OT increased the mean particle size of WP samples depending on the treatment time. Higher treatment time of OT resulted in a lower cohesion index. OT decreased caking ability of WP samples and increased flow stability. Compaction coefficient and cohesion index depending on increasing test speed, were generally reduced with higher OT. Overall, powder flow analyses revealed that OT of WC resulted in improved flow behaviour of WP. The microbial load of WP was reduced using OT.

The effects of cow and buffalo milk mixtures on powder flow behaviour, functional characteristics and microstructure of whole milk powder was investigated. Milk powder was produced from 100% cow milk (G1), 100% buffalo milk (G2), 75% cow/25% buffalo milk (G3), 50% cow/50% buffalo milk (G4) and 25% cow/75% buffalo milk (G5). A higher proportion of buffalo milk increased the hydroxymethylfurfural, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and free fatty acid contents in powders, but decreased dispersibility and wettability. The lowest and highest mean particle size values were obtained in G3 and G2 samples. Milk powder containing a higher level of buffalo milk increased caking ability and compaction coefficients of milk powder. All samples had remarkably cohesive characteristics. A higher proportion of cow milk can improve the flow behaviour of milk powder containing cow and buffalo milk mixtures in terms of caking, cohesion, and powder speed flow dependency.

In this study, the effects of different fat ratios on some physicochemical properties, powder flow behavior (caking, cohesion and powder flow speed dependent properties) and particle size of goat milk powder were investigated. For this purpose, skim (SMP) and whole goat milk powders (WMP) were produced by spray-drying method. The tapped bulk density was determined as 0.71 g cm-3 in the SMP and 0.57 g cm-3 in the WMP. The solubility in both samples was 99.80%. The caking strength of SMP (-0.190 N.mm) was found to be significantly low compared to that of WMP (26.734 N.mm). The cohesion index of SMP was found to be 21.7, and that of the WMP was 42.2. Depending on the increasing speed, cohesion index values were found to be lower in SMP compared WMP. In both samples the compression coefficients decreased with increasing speed. At a speed of 100 mm s-1 , the compression coefficient of SMP was 38.6 N.mm, while this value was 63.3 N.mm for WMP. The D[4,3] value was determined as 44.0 µm in SMP and 34.2 µm in WMP. The results of powder flow analysed revealed that crucial data on the flow behavior of goat milk powder.

Sert, Durmuş; Mercan, Emin; Kılınç, Mehmet
This study aimed to determine the physicochemical, textural, and microstructural characteristics of buffalo milk ice cream produced from high-pressure homogenisation (HPH) treated ice cream mix. Ice cream mix was subjected to 0 (control), 30, 60, 90, 120, or 150 MPa. HPH increased the firmness and consistency value of mixes, whereas it decreased cohesiveness and index of viscosity values. Also, HPH improved the lightness, redness, and yellowness of the mix. The mean particle size of HPH-treated mix samples was lower than the control, except HPH-150. The hardness of ice cream samples was between 14.30 and 77.81 N, in which HPH increased hardness value with the increasing pressure. The overrun of ice cream samples ranged from 19.93 to 45.15%, and HPH decreased it. HPH significantly improved resistance to melting in the ice cream. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed that HPH reduced the size of air bubbles. HPH at 150 MPa resulted in a foamy structure in the ice cream. HPH can alter the hardness, microstructure, and melting characteristics of buffalo milk ice cream. Products with improved properties may be developed by further modifying the formulation and processing parameters.

The effect of high-pressure homogenisation (HPH) treatment (0, 25, 50, 75, or 100 MPa) of mix on the physicochemical, textural, and microbiological characteristics of sheep milk ice cream was determined. Textural properties of the mix were not affected by HPH. However, HPH increased L*, a*, and b* values of the mix. In HPH-treated mix samples, the mean particle diameter was lower compared with the control. The hardness value of ice cream changed from 43.0 to 58.1 N, and HPH increased it depending on the increasing pressure. The highest overrun (58.3%) was determined in control, whereas the lowest overrun (35.8) was found in HPH-100. Melting time and first dripping time were increased depending on the increasing pressure of HPH, while HPH decreased the melting rate. HPH treatment of mix significantly reduced the microbial loads of ice cream samples. Consequently, HPH treatment can enhance the hardness, melting, and microbiological properties of ice cream from sheep milk.
