    Effects of Bifidobacterium animalis and inulin addition on quality characteristics of synbiotic milk chocolate

    Akgül, Ayse; Sert, Durmus; Mercan, Emin

    The aim of this study was to investigate effects of addition of B. animalis BB-12 (before tempering, BT or after tempering, AT) and inulin (6, 8, and 10%) on thermal, physicochemical characteristics, fatty acid composition, textural properties and probiotic viability of milk chocolates during 60 days of storage. The free fatty acid (FFA) value of milk chocolates ranged from 0.66 to 0.89 (% oleic acid), in which higher ratio of inulin addition increased the FFA. Probiotics and inulin addition increased darkness of chocolates when compared to control. D[4,3] value of samples ranged from 9.26-17.97 mu m. Higher inulin ratio in chocolates increased viscosity and yield value. These values in the group BT were higher than those of the group AT. BB-12 count of probiotic and synbiotic samples ranged from 7.09-8.06 log cfu/g during the storage. Higher inulin ratio increased the probiotics count in samples. Probiotic addition after tempering increased the count of probiotic and improved viability at the end of storage. The results showed that B. animalis BB-12 is capable of surviving in milk chocolate, at an appropriate bacteria count (>107 cfu/g), up to 60 days of storage at 18 degrees C.

    Butter production from ozone-treated cream: Effects on characteristics of physicochemical, microbiological, thermal and oxidative stability

    Sert, Durmus; Mercan, Emin; Kara, Ummugulsum

    The goal of this research was to investigate the effects of the ozone treatment (OT) to raw cream on the physicochemical, microbiological, thermal, and oxidative properties of butter. For this purpose, butter samples were produced from raw cream, which was ozone-treated for 5 (OT-5), 15 (OT-15), 30 (OT-30), and 60 (OT-60) min. The control sample was also produced from non-ozonated raw cream. OT increased firmness, consistency, and fat particle size values of cream. The firmness of butter was between 97 and 380 N. Average fat particle size of samples (D[3.2]) ranged from 22.1 to 30.2 mu m, in which OT decreased it. A monomodal fat particle size distribution was determined in all-butter samples. OT decreased b value (yellowness) of butter, and the lowest value was determined in OT-60. The induction time of butter changed from 1.04 (OT-60) - 32.9 h (control). Two melting peaks were determined in butter samples at 14.2-14.6 and 32.3-33 degrees C. Ozonation for 60 min caused 2.01 log reduction in Staphylococci. Above 15 min, OT completely inactivated Salmonella and yeast-mould. Coliform was not detected in OT-30 and OT-60. The results showed that OT resulted in higher microbiological quality in butter from raw cream.

    Effects of Forced-Air Oven, Microwave and Halogen Lamp Roasting on Salmonella Inactivation an Some Physicochemical Characteristics in Sesame Seed

    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.

    Effect of ultrasonic treatment on reduction of Esherichia coli ATCC 25922 and egg quality parameters in experimentally contaminated hens' shell eggs

    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.
