    The effect of starch modification and concentration on steady-state and dynamic rheology of meat emulsions

    Genccelep, Huseyin; Saricaoglu, Furkan Turker; Anil, Munir; Agar, Berrin; Turhan, Sadettin

    In this study, the effect of starch modification (NPS, native potato starch; AMS, acid modified starch; DMS, dextrinized modified starch; PGS, pre-gelatinized modified starch) and its concentrations (1, 2, 4wt%) on steady-state and dynamic rheological properties of meat emulsions were determined. Water-oil binding capacity and intrinsic viscosity of potato starch increased up to 5.07-0.90g/g, and 14.98mL/g, respectively, after modifying with pre-gelatinization method. The particle size of starches as average mean diameter ranged between 44.19μm and 293.06μm. The maximum solubility was obtained from DMS after heat treatment at 70°C being 48.22%, which means an increase about 3.06-fold in solubility as compared with NPS. The Ostwald-de Waele model was successfully used to describe the flow properties of meat emulsions (R2>0.961). While starch types did not affect the K values of emulsions (p>0.05), starch concentrations did (p<0.01). All studied emulsions exhibited non-Newtonian, pseudoplastic behavior since n values were lower than 1. Emulsion systems were characterized as weak gel-like macromolecular dispersions with storage modulus (G') much greater than loss modulus (G″). A modified Cox-Merz rule was applied by multiplying angular frequency with shift factors (αSF). Frequency dependence of complex modulus (G*) was studied to measure the strength of cross-linking protein network of emulsion systems by calculating a constant order of relaxation function (α) and concentration dependent stiffness parameter (Aα). It was concluded that PGS addition improved rheological properties of meat emulsions due to higher solubility, particle size, intrinsic viscosity, water-oil binding capacity than NPS.

    Comparative study of the magnetic stiffness, levitation and guidance force properties of single and multi seeded YBCOs for different HTS-PMG arrangements

    Ozturk, K.; Sahin, E.; Abdioglu, M.; Kabaer, M.; Celik, S.; Yanmaz, E.; Kucukomeroglu, T.

    Abstract It is crucial to improve the magnetic levitation, guidance and stiffness performances of the HTS Maglev systems for real-scale applications. In this study, the magnetic levitation force, guidance force and magnetic stiffness values were determined for single and multi-seeded YBCOs on different PMGs in ZFC regime and different cooling heights (CHs) after the magnetic flux distributions simulation of the using PMGs. Implemented study showed that the additional downward PMs make an enhancing contribution on the magnetic levitation force, guidance force and magnetic stiffness of both single and multi-seeded YBCOs. It was also determined that both the force and stiffness ratios of multi-seeded YBCO to single-seeded YBCO increase with increasing CH, indicating that the multi-seeded YBCO has much more interaction domain than single-seeded at higher gaps. It is considered that the results obtained in this study are very useful in technological applications of Maglev and bearing systems, because there is no detailed study on the magnetic stiffness, levitation and guidance force comparison to clarify electromagnetic behavior of single and multi-seeded YBCOs for different HTS-PMG arrangements.

    Pat, Suat; Özen, Soner; Şenay, Volkan; Aydoʇmuş, Tuna; Elmas, Saliha; Korkmaz, Şadan; Ekem, Naci; Balbaʇ, M. Zafer

    The Al2O3 ultra-thin films with the thicknesses of 30 nm and 35 nm were deposited on glass microscope slides by a radio frequency reactive magnetron sputtering system. The optical, morphological and mechanical properties were investigated as function of the film thickness. The refractive index of the resulting Al2O3 ultra-thin film increased with the increasing thickness. Both the films showed high transparency of > 85% and low reflectivity of < 10% in the visible and near infrared region. A band gap of ∼8.65 eV was obtained for the 30 nm film and ∼7.53 eV for the 35 nm film from an empirical relation between refractive index and band gap. According to the results obtained from the AFM studies, the root mean square surface roughness of the films are 3.67 nm and 3.77 nm for the 30 nm and 35 nm film, respectively. The hardness and Young modulus values decreased with the increasing film thickness.

    The toxicological impacts of some heavy metals on carbonic anhydrase from gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) gills

    Kaya, Elif Duygu; Söyüt, Hakan; Beydemir, Şükrü

    It is known that heavy metals have toxic effects on fish. Insufficient measures are a serious problem in our country and around the world. This problem can threaten human health in areas where it is common for people to obtain nutrition from local bodies of water. In this study, the toxicological impacts of some heavy metals were investigated on carbonic anhydrase activity in gilthead gills. Carbonic anhydrase (CA) was purified from gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) gills with a specific activity of 2872.92EUmg-1 and a yield of 32.84% using affinity chromatography. The overall purification was approximately ~84-fold. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed a single band, and the MW was approximately 30.5kDa (Soyut et al., 2008, 2012; Soyut and Beydemir, 2008, 2012; Kaya et al., 2013). The kinetic and characteristic properties of CA such as the optimum pH, stable pH, optimum temperature, activation energy (Ea), activation enthalpy (δH), Q10, Km and Vmax were determined. Cadmium (Cd2+), copper (Cu2+), nickel (Ni2+) and silver (Ag+) inhibited CA activity in in vitro conditions. Ki values were calculated for these metals. Ki values were 31.20mM for cadmium (Cd2+), 161.96mM for copper (Cu2+), 10.79mM for nickel (Ni2+) and 0.0082mM for silver (Ag+) based on Lineweaver-Burk plots. Except for cadmium, heavy metals had the same inhibition mechanism. Cadmium was competitive, and the others were noncompetitive.

    The production of ice cream using stevia as a sweetener

    Ozdemir, C.; Arslaner, A.; Ozdemir, S.; Allahyari, M.

    In this research, the effect of stevia addition on the physical, chemical and sensory properties of ice-creams were investigated. For this aim, four different ice- cream samples were produced using sucrose and stevia as sweetener (the plain + sucrose, cocoa + sucrose, plain + stevia and cocoa + stevia). The highest overrun ratio (20.17 %) was found in samples added cocoa and stevia. The viscosity of samples added cocoa and stevia (20.29 Pa.s) at 20 rpm were higher than that of other samples. The longest first melting time (3460 s) was found in samples added cocoa + stevia and the shortest time (1400s) was samples containing cocoa + sucrose. The last melting times were changed at around 8700 s and 9440 s. The pH degrees of samples were around 6.50 and 6.62. As samples containing stevia did not contain sucrose, sucrose amount of samples added sucrose were around 3.93 and 4.31 %. The fat destabilizations of samples were around 44.79 and 59.98 %. Panelists preferred the samples added stevia and cocoa as others.

    Effect of in situ exopolysaccharide production on physicochemical, rheological, sensory, and microstructural properties of the yogurt drink ayran: An optimization study based on fermentation kinetics

    Yilmaz, M.T.; Dertli, E.; Toker, O.S.; Tatlisu, N.B.; Sagdic, O.; Arici, M.

    Exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing starter cultures are preferred for the manufacture of fermented milk products to improve rheological and technological properties. However, no clear correlation exists between EPS production and the rheological and technological properties of fermented milk products such as the yogurt drink ayran. In this study, 4 different strain conditions (EPS- and EPS+ Streptococcus thermophilus strains) were tested as a function of incubation temperature (32, 37, or 42°C) and time (2, 3, or 4 h) to determine the effect of culture type and in situ EPS production on physicochemical, rheological, sensory, and microstructural properties of ayran. Furthermore, we assessed the effect of fermentation conditions on amounts of EPS production by different EPS-producing strains during ayran production. A multifactorial design of response surface methodology was used to model linear, interaction, and quadratic effects of these variables on steady shear rheological properties of ayran samples and in situ EPS production levels. The physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of ayran samples altered depending on incubation conditions and strain selection. Steady shear tests showed that ayran samples inoculated with EPS+ strains exhibited pseudoplastic flow behavior. Production of ayran with EPS- strain (control sample) resulted in the lowest apparent viscosity values (η50), whereas those produced with the combination of 2 EPS+ strains yielded ayran with notably increased η50 values. We concluded that incubation time was the variable with the greatest effect on η50, consistency coefficient (K), and flow behavior index (n) values. In situ EPS production was also affected by these conditions during ayran fermentation in which strain-specific metabolism conditions were found to be the most important factor for EPS production. In addition, these findings correlated the amount of in situ EPS produced with the rheological properties of ayran. Scanning electron microscopy images of the samples showed differences in structural features, revealing a prominent network strand structure in the ayran samples inoculated with the admixture of 2 EPS-producing strains incubated at 37°C for 3 h. These results provide useful information for large-scale production of ayran by the dairy industry.

    Özen, Soner; Şenay, Volkan; Pat, Suat; Korkmaz, Şadan

    In this research, a tin doped gallium arsenide thin film was grown on a glass substrate by means of the TVA technique in a very short period of time (70 s) and it’s morphological, compositional, and optical properties were examined. The deposited GaAs:Sn structures were characterized via both atomic force microscope (AFM) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). In this context, current research aims to reach a conclusion about the structure of the produced GaAs:Sn film by combining AFM, FESEM and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy data. From the optical investigation, the refractive index and extinction coefficient values for the produced film were obtained as 3.68 and 0.03 at the wavelength of 632.8 nm, respectively. The direct optical band gap energy of the deposited thin film was determined by two different models. Estimated optical band gap values were compared with each other. The results showed that TVA technique is suitable for a GaAs:Sn coating on glass substrate.

    Isolation and identification of an exopolysaccharide producer Streptococcus thermophilus strain from Turkish yogurt; [Yoğurttan ekzopolisakkarit üreten Streptococcus thermophilus suşunun izolasyonu ve tanımlanması]

    Dertli, Enes

    Production of exopolysaccharides (EPS) by starter Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) gained special interest due to technological role of these natural polymers. Yogurt samples were collected from different households in Turkey and bacterial strains were isolated and evaluated for EPS production. Strains potentially producing EPS were then identified to species level with 16S rRNA sequencing. An EPS producer Streptecoccus thermophilus strain was identified from yogurt samples. EPS was extracted from culture supernatants of S. thermophilus and partially purified and structural analysis of the crude EPS by FTIR spectroscopy revealed the presence of typical functional groups related to exopolysaccharides. This study explains the identification of a potential starter culture for yogurt production with EPS production.

    Some physical properties of a Si-doped nano-crystalline GaAs thin film grown by thermionic vacuum arc

    Şenay, Volkan; Özen, Soner; Pat, Suat; Korkmaz, Şadan

    Abstract A 160 nm thick Si-doped nano-crystalline GaAs film was grown on a glass substrate by means of the thermionic vacuum arc in just 50 s. Tools and techniques such as an optical reflectometer, Uv-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer, XRD, FESEM, AFM, Hall effect measurement, and diiodomethane, ethylene glycol, formamide, and water contact angle measurements were employed to investigate some of the physical properties of the produced film. XRD characterization indicated that the film contained GaAs (hexagonal system in atomic ratio of 1) and SiAs (monoclinic system in atomic ratio of 1) phases. The grain size obtained from Scherrer's Formula was in the range of 30-40 nm. The AFM micrographs showed the film topography, revealing a surface root mean square roughness of 14.5 nm and average height of 48.3 nm. From the wetting experiments, it was found that the contact angle value is strongly dependent on the liquid used.

    Investigation of transmitted, reflected, and absorbed powers of periodic and aperiodic multilayered structures composed of bi-anisotropic metamaterial slab and conventional material

    Hasar, Ugur Cem; Barroso, Joaquim José; Kaya, Yunus; Karacali, Tehvit; Ertugrul, Mehmet

    In this study, we investigate transmitted, reflected, and absorbed powers in forward and backward directions of periodic and aperiodic multilayered structures composed of bi-anisotropic metamaterial (MM) slab and conventional material. Aperiodic multilayered structure is realized by a change in thickness of any bi-anisotropic MM slab or of any conventional material. From this analysis, we note the following key results. First, identical (non-identical) forward and backward transmitted (reflected and absorbed) powers are observed for the analyzed periodic and aperiodic multilayered structures due to reciprocity (reflection-asymmetry) of bi-anisotropic MM slabs. Second, thickness-resonance phenomenon of conventional materials produces some peaks in the transmitted powers of periodic multilayered structures aside from the resonance frequency region of bi-anisotropic MM slabs. Third, each thickness-resonance frequency splits into many frequencies upon increasing the number of sections of periodic multilayered structures (no splitting when number of periods is one). Fourth, while the effect of changing the thickness of any bi-anisotropic MM slab within the aperiodic multilayered structure has no considerable effect around the resonance region of bi-anisotropic MM slabs (resonance of resonating structures such as MM slabs does not change with thickness), the same change in thickness of the conventional material drastically alters forward/backward reflected and absorbed powers aside from the resonance region of bi-anisotropic MM slabs (thickness-resonance totally depends on the value of thickness of conventional materials). The outcomes presented here can be particularly useful for propagation-related applications requiring cascade connection of various MM slabs.

    Effect of Er doping on the superconducting properties of porous MgB2

    Erdem, O.; Yanmaz, E.

    MgB2 bulk sample with porous structure was produced by using the in-situ solid-state reaction method under argon (Ar) atmosphere of 10 bar. Elemental Er in powder form was doped into MgB2 with different compositions (Mg1-xErx)B2, where x = 0.00, 0.03 and 0.05, in order to investigate the effect of rare-earth (RE) element Er on the structural and electromagnetic properties of porous MgB2. The Er-doped samples result in small grain size structure compared to the undoped one. The lattice constants a and c of the doped samples, determined from X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, increase with the increasing Er content, and consequently the superconducting transition temperature (Tonsetc) of MgB2, determined from resistivity measurements, is slightly suppressed. Also, the upper critical field (Bc2), the irreversibility field (Birr) and the critical current density (Jc) values are significantly enhanced in the doped samples. For the best sample (x = 0.03), at 15 K under a magnetic field of 4 T, the Jc value reaches 2.4×104 A cm-2, which is higher than that of the porous sample by an order of 103, and the Birr value at 20 K reaches 9.7 T. These results imply that the RE element Er fills the pores, enhances the density and the grain connectivity. Hence, the superconducting properties of the porous MgB2 sample improve by Er doping.

    The purpose of the present study is to determine the effects of Frayer model on the development of vocabulary knowledge in social studies. A quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design was used in the study. For the research, an experimental (N=19) and a control group (N=18) were randomly selected. While Frayer model as text based organizer was utilized on vocabulary instruction in the experimental group, the definitional and contextual approaches by integrating were used in the control group. This research was implemented at a state school with the 4th grade students in Bayburt, in 2013-2014 academic season. The scale, which was developed by Wesche and Paribakht (1996) and validity and reliability of which were examined and adapted to Turkish by the researcher, was used to determine the students’ vocabulary knowledge level. As for the results, it was found that the experimental group was more successful in vocabulary knowledge through the meanings of the target words by enlarging their vocabulary capacity in-depth. The data obtained from the study demonstrated that Frayer model facilitated the students to identify relevant, irrelevant attributes, examples and non-examples of the concepts and uncover the relationships and hierarchical structures between the concepts, thus guide to generate the meanings of terms by activating prior knowledge. Therefore, it helps to the students facilitate development of vocabulary knowledge and vocabulary acquisition.
