    Yilmaz, Mustafa Tahsin; Muslu, Asli; Dertli, Enes; Toker, Omer Said

    The pectin was produced from sugar beet pulp, one of the significant waste of sugar industry, at optimum conditions (pH, time and temperature). Then, the modification was carried out using pectinase. FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) and HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) analysis were performed to characterize the differences between modified and unmodified pectin. FT -IR analysis revealed the specific regions of pectin and 1600-1800 cm-1 bands. Galacturonic acid content was analyzed by HPLC. The obtained results revealed that the modified pectin had higher galacturonic acid content. In addition, flow properties of the modified pectin was also determined. The flow characteristics of modified pectin was observed to change.

    Yilmaz, Mustafa Tahsin; Toker, Omer Said; Tatlisu, Nevruz Berna; Arici, Muhammet; Dertli, Enes

    In this study, effect of in situ exopolysaccharide (EPS) production on sensory properties of Turkish-type fermented sausage (sucuk) was determined. Sausage mixes were prepared as four groups: (a) Control group, control sausage samples produced without LAB addition, with natural flora, (b) Strain 1 group, sausage samples produced by using Strain 1 (EPS+ Lactobacillus plantarum 162 R strain), (c) Strain 2 group: sausage samples produced by using Strain 2 (EPS+ Leuconostoc mesenteroides N6) and (d) Mixture group, sausage samples produced by using mixture of Strain 1 and Strain 2. These mixes were fermented at 14, 16 and 18 degrees C for 8, 12 and 16 days. Fermentation conditions remarkably affected the sensory properties of the sausage using different EPS producing EPS. These results of this study demonstrated the importance of in situ EPS production on final sensory properties of sausage.

    Effects of in situ exopolysaccharide production and fermentation conditions on physicochemical, microbiological, textural and microstructural properties of Turkish-type fermented sausage (sucuk)

    Dertli, Enes; Yilmaz, Mustafa Tahsin; Tatlisu, Nevruz Berna; Toker, Omer Said; Cankurt, Hasan; Sagdic, Osman

    In this work, the role of in situ exopolysaccharide (EPS) production under different fermentation conditions on physicochemical, microbiological, textural and microstructural properties of sucuk was determined. For this purpose, the effect of EPS producing strains (control, strain 1, strain 2 and mixture) and fermentation conditions (fermentation temperature; 14, 16 and 18 °C and time; 8, 12 and 16 days) on physicochemical, microbiological, textural and microstructural properties were investigated using response surface methodology. In situ EPS production was observed to remarkably affect these properties while fermentation conditions were also seen to dominantly influence the physicochemical properties of sucuk, revealing that the ripening temperature appeared to be more determinant factor. EPS producing cultures enhanced the textural properties of sucuk which became harder, less adhesive and tougher. The microstructural analysis revealed the formation of web-like structure by in situ EPS production in sucuk mix during fermentation process. This study revealed the importance of in situ EPS production on final technological properties of sucuk.

    Thermal loop test to determine structural changes and thermal stability of creamed honey: Rheological characterization

    Karasu, Salih; Toker, Omer Said; Yilmaz, Mustafa Tahsin; Karaman, Safa; Dertli, Enes

    This study was the first attempt to understand if thermal stability of any food product during storage could be determined. In this respect, a novel method, namely, the thermal loop test was used to determine structural changes and thermal stability of creamed honey in this study. The novelty of this method was that thermal stability of a product is tested within a number of thermal cycles over a determined range of temperature. Creamed honey was characterized in terms of physicochemical, thermomechanical and rheological properties. It showed non-Newtonian thixotropic behavior at all temperature levels (10, 25 and 40 °C). Time-dependent flow behavior was successfully defined by Weltman and second order structural models. Hysteresis loop area depended on temperature and decreased with increase in temperature. Creamed honey had liquid-like structure, showing that it had more pronounced viscous nature than elastic nature (G″ > G′). Temperature sweep tests were conducted to determine temperature dependency of η50, G′ and G″ values using Arrhenius equation. These test results confirmed the thermal stability test results, revealing that thermal loop test can be an accurate method to determine thermal stability of similar food products, as a new information. Relative structural index value (Δ) increased with number of thermal loop, suggesting that creamed honey had low thermal stability and showed a great structural change by the thermal stress applied between 5 °C and 50 °C. These results suggest that crystallized honey be abstained from large temperature fluctuations to avoid from irreversible changes in rheological characters; thus, to maintain spreadability.

    Steady, dynamic and creep rheological analysis as a novel approach to detect honey adulteration by fructose and saccharose syrups: Correlations with HPLC-RID results

    Yilmaz, Mustafa Tahsin; Tatlisu, Nevruz Berna; Toker, Omer Said; Karaman, Safa; Dertli, Enes; Sagdic, Osman; Arici, Muhammet

    In this study, natural honey was adulterated with the addition of adulterants, namely saccharose and fructose syrups at a ratio of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% by weight. Steady, dynamic and creep tests were conducted, revealing that the changes in the flow, viscoelastic and creep behavior of natural honey were clear and remarkable. Syrup addition decreased viscosity (η), storage (G') and loss modulus (G″) values of the control honey samples. Deformation represented by the compliance (J(t)) values was more prominent in the adulterated honey samples. In addition, HPLC-RID analysis was conducted to determine major sugar composition of the adulterated samples. Pearson's correlation test indicated that there were significant (P<0.05; 0.01) correlations between sugar composition and rheology parameters, η (viscosity), K″, K* (intercepts for G″ and complex modulus (G*), respectively) and η0 (viscosity of Maxwell dashpot), suggesting that K', K″, K* and η0 could be prominent indicators for presence of saccharose or fructose syrups added in natural honey within the studied concentration levels. These results suggested that use of steady, dynamic and creep analysis would be a novel and potential approach to detect honey adulteration by fructose and saccharose syrups.
