Sert, Durmus; Mercan, Emin
This research evaluated the efficacy of forced-air oven. halogen lamp and microwave roasting to inactivate 3 serotypes of Salmonella (S. Typhimurium, S. Newport and S. Montevideo) in sesame seeds. Also, weight loss. textural properties (hardness), water activity and color values of sesame seeds were investigated during the roasting processes. Microwave and halogen roasting inactivated completely Salmonella in sesame seeds which inoculated with 5.9 log cfu/g after 4 and 9 min, respectively. However, forced air oven roasting for 15 min achieved 2.0 log decrease in Salmonella. Halogen and microwave rapidly reduced hardness and a(w) values of sesame seeds compared to forced air oven. Weight loss of sesame seed in halogen and microwave roasting processes was faster than that of forced air oven. Color properties of sesame seeds were significantly affected by roasting methods. The results showed that halogen and microwave roasting can significantly minimize the risk associated with Salmonella in sesame seeds. Also. applications of halogen and microwave significantly decreased the roasting time as compared to forced-air oven.

Er, Betül; Sert, Durmuş; Mercan, Emin
The effects of transglutaminase (TGase) treatment of skim milk concentrates on physicochemical, powder flow, thermal, microstructural characteristics and protein profiles of skim milk powders (SMP) were investigated. Spray-dried SMP samples produced from milk concentrates were TGase-treated at enzyme concentrations of 0 (control), 0.020% (TG-20), 0.030% (TG-30) and 0.035% (TG-35). Lower particle size values were observed in TGase-treated samples. TGase treatment slightly decreased zeta potential and increased the a* value (redness) of SMPs. Up to a concentration of 0.030%, TGase treatment decreased caking characteristics and increased glass transition temperatures of samples. The TGase treatment above 0.035% significantly decreased cohesion index and compaction coefficient at different speeds. TG-35 showed free flowing flow behaviour depending on the cohesion index, whereas control, TG-20, and TG-30 showed easy flowing behaviour. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that high molecular mass bands indicated cross-linking in TGase-treated milk powders.

Mercan, Emin; Sert, Durmuş; Akın, Nihat
Effect of high-pressure (HPH) homogenisation on milk concentrates were studied. Skim and whole milk concentrates were homogenised at 0–150 and 0–40 MPa, respectively, and viscosity, particle size measurement, microbiological and colour characteristics determined. Up to a pressure of 120 MPa, viscosity of HPH-treated skim milk concentrates (SMC) was proportional to HPH pressure and was lower than that of the control (0 MPa). With whole milk concentrates (WMC), HPH decreased viscosity up to a pressure of 20 MPa; above 30 MPa viscosity increased. According to a power law model, both skim and whole milk concentrates showed shear-thinning flow behaviour. HPH at pressures above 120 MPa completely inactivated the microbial load of SMC. Up to a pressure of 50 MPa, HPH decreased the mean particle size (D [3,2]) of SMC; an increasing trend of D [3,2] was observed above 70 MPa. Except at 40 MPa, HPH decreased D [3,2] values of WMC samples.

Mercan, Emin; Sert, Durmuş; Akın, Nihat
The aim of this study was to determine effects of high-pressure homogenization (HPH) treatment to milk concentrates on powder flow properties of skim milk powders (SMP). For this purpose, SMP samples were produced from skim milk concentrates which were HPH treated at 0 (control), 50, 100 and 150 MPa. SMP samples were stored 180 days at 20 and 40 °C and caking, cohesion and powder flow speed dependency test (PFSD) were performed using a Powder Flow Analyzer. HPH treatment decreased cohesion and caking properties of SMPs. At the 0. day, cake strength of SMPs from HPH treated concentrates varied from 0.43-2.70 mN.m, whereas cake strength of SMP-0 (control) was 8.20 mN.m. Cohesion index (CI) of samples ranged from 6.80-15.74 mm during storage. Based on CI, SMPs from HPH treated concentrates showed free and easy flowing flow behavior during storage at 20 and 40 °C. In addition, cohesion index at four speeds indicated that SMP from HPH treated concentrates were more flowable at even lower flow speeds then SMP-0. PFSD test verified that all SMP samples showed more free-flowing characteristics with increasing flow speeds. Flow stability of samples ranged from 0.95-1.15 and also flow stability of SMP-0 increased during storage at both 20 and 40 °C. The results revealed that HPH treatment to milk concentrates could improve powder flow properties of skim milk powders.

Sert, Durmuş; Mercan, Emin; Dertli, Enes
The aim of this study was to understand how pine cone (PC) addition could acidify the milk and result in the production of yogurt. For this purpose, yogurts were produced with three different pine cones which were classified according to collection period; PC-1 (October), PC-2 (November) and PC-3 (December). Physicochemical, textural and microbiological properties were determined as quality criteria on the yogurt samples. Importantly, Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) were isolated and identified from yogurt samples. 26 of 80 yogurt isolates were identified. The incubation time of yogurts until the pH reached 4.6–4.7 was ∼3.5–4 h at 45 °C. Textural properties of yogurt PC-3 increased as compared to PC-1 and PC-2 which was found to be related with high LAB numbers in PC-3. Similarly, the highest dry matter, water holding capacity, acidity values were determined in the yogurt PC-3 whereas PC-1 had the lowest values. The lowest pH value was found in yogurt PC-3 related to LAB counts. Lactobacillus spp. and Streptococcus spp. counts of yogurts ranged between 5.95-6.82 and 6.32–6.99 log cfu/g, respectively. Also, LAB species were identified as Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus plantarum in all yogurt samples showing that pine cones somehow harbour the yogurt starters.

Sert, Durmuş; Mercan, Emin; Aydemir, Serdar; Civelek, Mustafa
The aim of this work was to study the influence of milk somatic cell count (SCC) levels on spray-dried milk powders. For this reason, 3 cow milks with different SCC (<300,000, 300,000-700,000, >700,000 SCC/mL) were processed into skim (SMP) and whole milk powder (WMP). The effect of SCC on the physicochemical and functional characteristics of the milk powders and textural properties of set-type yogurts produced from reconstituted milk powders with different SCC was evaluated. A crucial difference was noted between milk powders depending on different SCC. Protein values and ash content of powder samples decreased correlatively with increasing SCC. The hydroxymethylfurfural content of SMP was higher than WMP. We noted an increase in hydroxymethylfurfural content of both SMP and WMP depending on elevated SCC. Solubility index of SMP and WMP was 1.280 to 1.632 and 0.940 to 1.208 mL, respectively; with increasing SCC, solubility index was affected adversely. The highest foam stability was determined in SMP containing >700,000 SCC. Bulk density of SMP and WMP was between 0.682 and 0.708 and 0.660 to 0.685 g/cm3, respectively. An increase was observed in scorched particle of both SMP and WMP depending on increasing SCC. We found significant differences in particle size distribution of milk powders produced from milk with SCC at different levels. Although WMP had more uniform and big particle structure, SMP had more specific area. A negative correlation was noted between yogurt texture and SCC. Results indicate that milk SCC has negative influences on milk powder quality.

Dertli, Enes; Mercan, Emin; Arici, Muhammet; Yilmaz, Mustafa Tahsin; Sağdiç, Osman
A total of 249 Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) isolates were found in traditional Turkish wheat sourdoughs from Eastern Black Sea region of Turkey. Genotypic characterization of these isolates revealed the presence of 47 distinct LAB strains belonging to 11 different species: Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus paraplantarum, Lactobacillus curvatus, Lactobacillus rossiae, Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus paralimentarius, Weissella paramesenteroides, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides and Weissella cibaria. The sourdough LAB microbiota differed depending on the sample origin and the collection period and heterofermentative LAB were dominant. The number of different species within a sourdough varied from 3 to 6 with the association of different hetero- and homofermentative LAB species. Exopolysaccharide (EPS) production characteristics of the isolates were determined and strain specific properties appeared to be important for the final EPS yields. Genes required for homopolysaccharide (gtf and lev) and heteropolysaccharide (epsA, epsB, p-gtf) production were PCR detected and several distribution patterns were observed. Results of this study confirmed the biodiversity of LAB species in traditional Turkish sourdough and highlighted the importance of EPS production in sourdough LAB strains.

The aim of this work was to characterize functional properties of Lactobacillus salivarius strains isolated from chicken feces. Detection of genes responsible for exopolysaccharide (EPS) production revealed that all strains harbored a dextransucrase gene, but p-gtf gene was only detected in strain E4. Analysis of EPS production levels showed significant alterations among strains tested. Biofilm formation was found to be medium composition dependant, and there was a negative correlation with biofilm formation and EPS production. Autoaggregation properties and coaggregation of L. salivarius strains with chicken pathogens were appeared to be specific at strain level. An increment in bacterial adhesion to chicken gut explants was observed in L. salivarius strains with the reduction in EPS production levels. This study showed that strain-specific properties can determine the functional properties of L. salivarius strains, and the interference of these properties might be crucial for final selection of these strains for technological purposes.

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.

Sert, Durmus; Aygun, Ali; Torlak, Emrah; Mercan, Emin
Backround: In this study, hen eggs which were experimentally contaminated with Esherichia coli ATCC 25922 were used. Contaminated eggs were washed statically (S5 to S30; 0 kHz) and by ultrasonic waves (U5 to U30; 35 kHz) for given applications of time (5, 15 and 30 min), then the eggs were stored at 22°C for 14 days. Results: Depending on the time of ultrasonic application, a significant increase in egg shell strength (P < 0.01) was recorded. The highest value of the Haugh unit (67.93, 1 day) was observed on the eggs which were washed by ultrasonic waves. Yolk width values of ultrasonic washed eggs diminished. E. coli was completely removed by 30 min of ultrasonic application. During storage E. coli growth was not detected on the eggs which were washed by ultrasonic waves except the eggs in U5 group (2.04 log CFU eggshell-1) on the first day of storage. Conclusion: Depending on the time of ultrasonic application a significant increase in egg quality parameters (shell strength, albumen height, Haugh units, and yolk height) were observed. The application of ultrasound led to a significant reduction in E. coli numbers on egg shells.
