A native collection of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strains originated from grain-related habitats in Turkey was characterized according to serotype, cry1 gene content, and bioactivity against Ephestia kuehniella (Lepidoptera: ...

In this work, 29 pepper cultivars that represent the diversity of types and varieties grown in Turkey were analyzed for water-soluble antioxidant capacity and phenolic and vitamin C contents. In addition, 14 non-Turkish ...

Osmotic dehydration of diced green peppers was optimized with respect to temperature (20-40 °C), time (15-600 min), salt (0-10 g/100 g) and sorbitol (0-10 g/100 g) concentrations through response surface methodology. Water ...

Fatty acid composition and mid-infrared spectra of olive oils in combination with chemometric techniques were used in the classification of Turkish olive oils with respect to their varieties, growing location and harvest ...

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and chemometric techniques were used to detect the adulteration of pomegranate juice concentrate (PJC) with grape juice concentrate (GJC). The main differences between PJC and ...

Crude exo-polygalacturonase enzyme (produced by Aspergillus sojae), significant for industrial processes, was characterized with respect to its biochemical and thermal properties. The optimum pH and temperature for maximum ...

The present study was undertaken to genotype Arcobacter (A.) butzleri, A. cryaerophilus and A. skirrowii isolates from domestic geese from three different flocks in Turkey. Fifteen Arcobacter isolates were analysed to ...

Antimicrobial agent-releasing films have been proposed as an effective way of inhibiting chiefly surface spoilage of food products. Antifungal activities of natamycin (NA), rosemary extract (RE) and NA + RE were tested ...

In this study, the prevalence and distribution of various Arcobacter spp. were investigated in samples taken from the cloacae of healthy domestic geese raised in Turkey. A membrane filtration technique with a non-selective ...

Rheological properties were determined at 4°C (refrigerated temperature), 25°C (room temperature), 60°C (pasteurization temperature) for liquid whole egg (LWE) and liquid egg yolk (LEY) and 4, 25, 55.6°C for liquid egg ...
