    Kerse, Sevgi; Okcu, Zuhal

    In this study, producting with different concentration of starch (%5 ve %8) and different dried methods (in drying oven 60 °C, 80 °C, microwave oven and conventional drying methods arbutus leather is analysed in terms of physical, chemical and sensory parameters. Fruit is more ascorbic acid, total phenolic, antioxidant activity than other leathers. Fruit leathers which contain %8 starch, values are high than leather produced in different concentratioas exclusive HMF value. Fruit leather which dried conventional methods has high value of total dry matter, water soluble dry matter, total sugar, invert sugar,sucrose, ascorbic acid and ABTS values. Fruit leather which dried in micro waveoven has highvalue of ash, total phenolic, DPPH and HMF value. Leathers, which is most appreciated in sensory evaluation, is pestil dried at 60 °C.The least appreciated was the microwave-dried leather.

    Edible Film and Coating Applications in Fruits and Vegetables

    Okcu, Zuhal; Yavuz, Yasemin; Kerse, Sevgi

    Different preservation and packing techniques are applied to maintain quality and safety during food transportation and storage. Changing in world and increasing consumer demands led to new techniques and procedures in packing. Light, easy opening, eco-friendly, bioplastic and edible packaging materials are improved to resolve problems that occured nowadays. Edible packaging material are environment-friendly because they decompose quickly in nature even if don't consume. In addition edible films increase food's organoleptic properties and support nutritional values when used with inserted supporting member. Fruits and vegetables are high sensitive product; therefore, attention should be paid while transporting and storing and they must be packed in the right way.. Delaying ripening and reducing loss of weight in fruit and vegetable could be supplied with edible films and coatings.

    Evaluation of Pomological and Morphological Characteristics and Chemical Compositions of Local Pear Varieties (Pyrus communis L.) Grown in Gumushane, Turkey; [Pomologische und morphologische Eigenschaften sowie Inhaltsstoffe lokaler Birnensorten (Pyrus communis L.) in Gumushane (Türkei)]

    Kalkisim, Ozgun; Okcu, Zuhal; Karabulut, Besim; Ozdes, Duygu; Duran, Celal

    The aim of the present research was to investigate the fruit quality of twenty different local pear varieties (Pyrus communis L.), namely Ahlat, Ankara, Arpa, Bıldırcın, Çermai, Cinci, Gelin Boğan, Hacı Hamza, Hahır, Kabak, Kızıl, Kokulu, Mehrani, Menendi, Sulu, Şalgam, Tokat Sultanı, Turşu, Yaz, and Yaz Meyriği, grown in Gumushane province in terms of pomological and morphological characteristics and chemical compositions. The fruit mass, fruit width and length, fruit stem thickness and length, fruit kernel width and length, hardness of pulp, number of seeds, leaf width and length, leaf stem length and thickness, and water soluble dry matter (WSDM) of the pear fruits have been determined as pomological and morphological characteristics. On the other hand, the chemical compositions of the pear varieties have been evaluated in terms of protein, ash, sucrose, fructose, glucose, total sugar, titratable acidity, moisture, and mineral element levels. Both pomological and morphological results demonstrated that the local pear varieties are important in terms of rehabilitation studies and detailed selection studies on these local varieties should be performed. The chemical analyses result of the pear varieties revealed that there is no component that may be harmful to human health when consumed, and also these varieties contains the necessary amount of mineral elements.

    Determination of Pomological and Morphological Characteristics and Chemical Compositions of Local Apple Varieties Grown in Gumushane, Turkey; [Bestimmung der pomologischen und morphologischen Eigenschaften sowie der chemischen Zusammensetzung lokaler Apfelsorten aus dem Gebiet Gumushane, Türkei]

    Kalkisim, Ozgun; Ozdes, Duygu; Okcu, Zuhal; Karabulut, Besim; Senturk, Hasan Basri

    The present study was conducted in order to determine the pomological and morphological characteristics and chemical compositions of some local apple varieties grown in Gumushane. As a result of field work in Gumushane province, sixteen different apples, which are Summer Apple, English apple, Green Belly, Black Belly and Yellow Belly Apples, Amasya Marble, Bey Apple, Chest Apple, Mahsusa, Arabian Girl, Willow Apple, Tavşanbaşı, Yellow Hıdır, Local Marble, Bride Apple, and Fatty Apple were collected in order to analyze. The average results of pomological and morphological properties and chemical compositions were obtained as following: fruit mass; 127.36 g, fruit width; 65.23 mm, fruit length; 57.30 mm, fruit stalk thickness; 2.17 mm, fruit stalk length; 17.63 mm, stalk pit depth; 12.75 mm, flower pit depth; 10.29 mm, fruit firmness; 13.79 kg/cm2, seed house width; 15.89 mm, seed house length; 17.39 mm, number of seeds; 4.3, water soluble dry matter content; 14.53 %, ash content; 1.11 %, pH; 3.8, titratable acidity; 0.69 g/L, water content; 83.8 %, reducing sugar; 5.04 g/100 g, sucrose; 2.25 g/100 g, and the amount of total sugars; 7.29 g/100. The fruit peel color was determined by considering the light transmittance (L). The average L values were ranged between 112.06 and 66.32. On the other hand among the mineral elements, potassium and manganese amounts were determined as the highest and the lowest, respectively.

    Relationships Among some Pears Genotypes (Pyrus Communis L.) Based on ISSR and RAPD Analysis; [Bestimmung der genetischen Verwandtschaft bei Birnen mit Hilfe der ISSR und RAPD Methoden]

    Kalkışım, Ozgun; Okcu, Melih; Okcu, Zuhal; Karabulut, Besim; Yildirim, Nalan; Agar, Guleray

    Thirty one pears genotypes from east blacksea region were evaluated for genetic relationships by using Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and ISSR (Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats) markers from total 70 RAPD and ISSR primer investigated, 22 could amplify clearly and consistently. Cluster analysis of the pears genotypes was performed based on data from polymorphic bands RAPD and ISSR by using Jaccard’s similarity coefficient and the Unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic average (UPGMA) clustering method. The 31 pear genotypes were classified into two major groups. Cluster A was divided into 2 subclusters: Gumushane pears and Trabzon pears. Cluster B consisted of Artvin pears. The similarity matrix values ranged between 0.105 and 0.968.

    Evaluation of the Effect of Different Harvest Time on the Fruit Quality of Foşa Nut; [Einfluss unterschiedlicher Erntezeiten auf die Qualität von Foşa Haselnüssen]

    Kalkisim, Ozgun; Turan, Ali; Okcu, Zuhal; Ozdes, Duygu

    This study was carried out in Arsin (Trabzon/Turkey) in 2011. The effects of different harvest time and altitudes on the quality of the nuts have been investigated. The study was performed on Foşa hazelnut and the harvest process has been conducted at three terms, which are on normal harvest time and ten days before and after harvest time. The harvested nuts were dried in the shade on the concrete floor until their moisture content decreased to 5 %. Some properties of nuts including yield, fruit weight, internal weight, shell thickness, and protein, oleic, and linoleic acid amounts have been investigated. As evaluated all of the fruit properties it can be concluded that 11 August is the most suitable harvest date for coast zone. On the other hand, no significant differences were obtained in the point of protein, oleic, and linoleic acid amounts for different harvest time and altitudes.

    Yildiz, Hilal; Sengul, Memnune; Cetin, Bulent; Karatas, Neva; Ercisli, Sezai; Okcu, Zuhal; Dzubur, Ahmed; Hadziabulic, Semina

    In this study, nine-pomegranate sour sauce (PSS) obtained from market in Turkey was tested for their total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant and antimicrobial activity and selected physico-chemical properties. Methanolwater extracts of PSS were found more effective than water extracts against microorganisms. In particular, Pseudomonas pseudoalkaligenes BC3445 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 showed the greatest sensitivity to the extracts. Total soluble solids, total sugar, reducing sugar, sucrose, ash, pH, titratable acidity, colour (L, a, b) of PSS were determined between 69.5-73.3° Brix, 21.89-53.44 g/100 g, 20.97-50.62 g/100 g, 0.75-2.81 g/100 g, 0.05-0.58 g/100g, 2.64-2.91, 4.30-7.97, 16.58-55.38, (+3.94)-(+38.54), (-6.98)-(-38.36). β-carotene bleaching assay indicated that PSS possessed considerable antioxidantactivities. The higher antioxidant capacities of PSS implied that they might be potential resources for the development of functional food.
