Freezing has been a convenient technique to maintain the shelf stable properties of tomato fruits and to permit the transportation of the products to remote markets. This study evaluated the effects of four different freezing methods on the quality of cherry tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum var. Cerasiforme). Fresh, whole cherry tomatoes were froz...

Natural and artificial colorants are food additives that are widely used to increase the acceptance of products in food industry. The need for natural colorants production is inevitably increased due to the increasing demands of consumers to natural food products and the limitations in some countries about the usage of synthetic colorants. The most...

This study evaluates the effect of four different encapsulation techniques. Zn‐chlorophyll derivatives obtained by enzymatic extraction with 26.80% yield compared to nonenzymatic extraction from stinging nettle were encapsulated with (i) ionic gelling, (ii) ionic gelling + chitosan coating, (iii) electrically assisted ionic gelling (iv) electricall...

This study focused on the development and optimization of thermoplastic starch (TPS) and poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) biobased active packaging films by incorporation with grape seed oil, alpha‐tocopherol, and rice husk. In the compound and film production step during extrusion for biobased active packaging film two variables, the...

BACKGROUND Sugar beet is one of the most produced industrial plants in the world, and during manufacturing it produces a large quantity of leaf waste. Because this waste is rich in protein, this study aimed to identify an efficient method for producing large‐scale protein concentrate from sugar beet leaves. RESULTS Results showed that protein extr...

Gıda ambalajları, ürünlerin korunması, taşınması ve tüketiciye sunulmasında kritik bir rol oynamaktadır. Ancak, mikrobiyal bozulma gibi sorunlar endüstri için ciddi bir sorun olmaya devam etmektedir. Bu problem doğrultusunda, modifiye atmosferde ambalajlama teknolojisi, akıllı ambalajlama teknolojisi ve aktif ambalajlama teknolojisi gibi çeşitli gı...

The sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is one of the most cultivated crops in the world due to the production of sugar from its roots. The potential of its leaves, which are a by-product, to be evaluated especially in terms of protein in recent years has increased the importance of sugar beet. The mallow (Malva sylvestris L.) is widely known as a medici...

This comprehensive review explores the diverse landscape of plant protein resources, focusing on novel extraction and precipitation methods that contribute to the advancement of sustainable and efficient protein production. The increasing global demand for plant‐based proteins as a key component of balanced diets has spurred research into optimizin...

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, aromatik bitkilerden infüzyon tekniği ile ekstraktlar elde ederek farklı formülasyonlarda elma suyu ile karıştırılarak fonksiyonel olarak zenginleştirilmiş bir ürün geliştirilmesi ve ürünün fizikokimyasal analizlerinin yapılmasıdır. Materyal ve Yöntem: Ihlamur çiçeği (Tilia cordata), kekik (Thymus collinus), kasnı otu (Fe...

Agricultural wastes are abundant worldwide with increased production and consumption activities as a result of human population growth. Waste recycling processes, which are important to support sustainable production, remain popular due to the increasing amount of agricultural waste. In particular, there are various studies on the recovery of valua...

Trabzon hurması diyet lifi, karotenoid ve fenolik bileşiklerce zengin bir meyvedir. Bu çalışmada, Trabzon hurması örneklerinin mikrobiyal yükünü azaltmak ve raf ömrünü arttırmak amacıyla pastörizasyon işlemi uygulanmıştır. Trabzon hurmaları kuru madde içeriği %80 (A) ve %75 (B) olacak şekilde güneşte kurutulmuştur. Daha sonra 12 PET/110PE EVOH 170x...

The rose plant, belonging to the Rosaceae family, presents a rich diversity of over 200 species and 1800 identified varieties in the literature. Among them, Rosa damascena Mill. (Rosaceae) is one of the most important species cultivated for its highly valued aromatic oil in the perfume, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Rose petals have been con...

The economic and social importance of biodegradable, environmentally friendly materials, as the growing public awareness and environmental concerns regarding the disposal of solid wastes, and the growth of the recycling industry and the use of biodegradable and biopolymers, especially as substitutes for petroleum-based plastics in the packaging ind...

In this study, the microwave-assisted and enzyme-assisted extraction efficiency were compared to solvent extraction. The extraction efficiencies were evaluated in bay leaf extract in terms of phenolic content and antioxidant capacity. The total phenolic content (mg GAE/g) of the extracts from three different extraction methods as a solvent, enzyme-...

The cellulose‐based polysaccharide edible film enriched with pomegranate seed oil was characterized and used for the coating of strawberries to determine the effects on their quality over shelf life. Edible bioactive films were prepared with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) which contained different concentrations (0.1, 1, 2, and 3%) of pomegranate se...

Hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) occurs as an intermediate product by breaking down sugars in acidic media or during the Maillard reaction. The formation of HMF is used as a chemical index to determine the storage time of food products and to determine if the heat treatment is performed properly to the food products such as fruit juices, milk, honey, c...

The demand for the use of natural coloring materials as coloring agents in food products is increasing steadily. The use of chlorophylls, which give a natural green color that is specific to plants, is not very common for this purpose. Because chlorophyll is extracted from the cell and the green color they have is transformed into unwanted brown af...

Doğal ve yapay renklendiriciler gıdaların albenisini arttırmak için gıda endüstrisinde yaygın olarak kullanılmakta olan gıda katkı maddeleridir. Tüketicilerin doğal gıdalara olan artan talebi ve bazı ülkelerin sentetik renklendirici kullanımına getirdiği sınırlamalar göz önüne alındığında doğal renk maddelerinin üretilmesi ve renklendirici olarak g...
