  Crackers are popular bakery products known for their crunchy texture and long shelf life. Typically made from leavened or unleavened dough with wheat flour, oil, water, and additives, crackers have undergone recipe enhancements to improve sensory and nutritional profiles. While many studies explore cracker and biscuit formulations, fruit seed oils remain underexplored. Fruit seeds, often discarded as waste, are rich in essential fatty acids, amino acids, and micronutrients. Oils from seeds such as grape, pomegranate, rosehip, and apricot have gained attention for their health benefits, which presents an opportunity for innovation in bakery products. This study evaluated the potential of incorporating various fruit seed oils (pomegranate, apricot kernel, grape, fig, and rosehip) into cracker formulations. Crackers were assessed for physicochemical properties, antioxidant activity, mineral content, texture, and sensory attributes, with sunflower oil as the control. Results showed that the addition of fruit seed oils significantly influenced cracker properties. Crackers with apricot kernel oil had the highest ash content (2.29 +/- 0.13%) and exhibited a more acidic character, as did those with grape seed oil. Moisture content decreased significantly when rosehip seed oil was used (P < 0.05). Grape seed oil yielded the highest water-holding capacity, while sunflower oil provided the highest oil-holding capacity. Crackers made with rosehip and apricot kernel oils demonstrated improved antioxidant properties. Using fruit seed oils not only enhances nutritional value (e.g. vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and dietary fiber) but also reduces material waste, contributing to sustainability and better resource utilization.

  Comparison of different animal milks on microbiological, physicochemical, sensory properties, and volatile component profile of Kefir

  Meral-Aktaş, Hacer; Ürkek, Bayram; Aktaş, Haktan; Baltacı, Cemalettin; Çetin, Bülent; Şengül, Mustafa

  In this study, the effects of cow, buffalo, ewe, and goat milk on the microbiological, physicochemical, sensory properties, and volatile component profile of kefir were examined during storage. Key microbial counts, including lactic cocci, lactic bacilli, and yeast, varied among kefirs, with lactic bacilli and lactic cocci decreasing over time, while yeast counts increased. The titratable acidity ranged from 1.12 to 1.16%, and pH values varied between 4.51 and 4.83. Sensory analysis showed that cow milk kefir received the highest consumer appreciation, while goat milk kefir was least favored. Notably, ewe milk kefir contained the highest benzoic acid content. Principal component analysis identified distinct clusters in the volatile profiles of the kefirs. Our results suggest that buffalo and ewe milk kefirs may be viable alternatives to cow milk kefir, with potential for consumer acceptance based on sensory properties.

  Innovations in dairy technology: probiotics in Turkish white cheese production

  Mazlum, Halit; Atasever, Mustafa

  Cheese offers significant advantages as a probiotic carrier food compared to fermented milk and yoğurt due to its fat content, solid matrix, higher pH, low oxygen levels, and longer shelf life. This study examined Turkish white cheeses ripened with both classical starter culture (Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis and Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris) and various probiotic cultures (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus paracasei, and Bifidobacterium bifidum). The quality and functional properties of these cheeses were investigated to evaluate the effect of adding probiotics to traditional starter culture and their potential for use as carrier food for probiotics. During the 90-days ripening period, the numbers of L. acidophilus, L. casei, L. paracasei, and B. bifidum were determined to be in the range of 8.09 ± 0.34–8.65 ± 0.30, 7.19 ± 0.28–8.12 ± 0.90, 7.01 ± 1.45–8.73 ± 0.98, and 7.16 ± 1.10–8.21 ± 1.19 log cfu/g, respectively. The study found that probiotic levels in the cheese remained above the effective threshold (≥ 107 cfu/g) throughout the ripening process. This was accompanied by an increase in water-soluble nitrogen, an indicator of proteolysis, leading to higher ripening index values in all cheese samples. In terms of sensory evaluation, cheeses with L. acidophilus and L. paracasei were particularly well-received, scoring higher (7.90 ± 0.30–8.47 ± 0.12, 7.80 ± 0.34–8.75 ± 0.12, respectively) in taste and aroma than the others. Overall, probiotics positively influenced the quality and functional properties of the white cheese. Notably, the L. casei ATCC 393 strain, used for the first time in Turkish white cheese production, proved highly compatible with existing production technologies. It was concluded from the study that Turkish white cheese is a suitable food for transporting probiotics to the intestinal environment.

  Non-targeted approach to detect green pea and peanut adulteration in pistachio by using portable FT-IR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy

  Menevseoglu, Ahmed; Aykas, Didem Peren; Adal, Eda

  Pistachio is one of the most expensive nuts with having high economic importance in Turkey. It has become more prone to adulteration because of its high commodity value. Peanut with color additives and green pea are generally used to adulterate ground pistachio. Vibrational spectroscopy is a potential technique to detect adulterations in pistachio. The objective of this study was to generate a non-targeted method for portable FT-IR and UV-Vis spectrometers to authenticate pistachio and detect green pea and peanut adulterations. Pistachio granules were adulterated with green pea and peanut at different concentrations (5 to 40% w/w). Spectra were collected by a portable FT-IR spectrometer and by a conventional UV-Vis spectrometer and analyzed by Soft Independent Modeling of Class Analogy (SIMCA) to generate classification algorithms to authenticate pistachio, and Partial Least Square Regression (PLSR) to predict the concentrations of adulterants. SIMCA showed very distinct clusters for pure samples. Moreover, adulterated pistachio samples were discriminated by SIMCA even in low levels of adulteration (5%). Portable FTIR showed excellent performance (r(val) > 0.93) of predicting the adulterant levels with a standard error of prediction (SEP) 0.66% and 0.80% for green pea and peanut, respectively. Similarly, UV-VIS predicted (r(val) > 0.93) the adulterant levels with SEP 0.58% and 0.14% for green pea and peanut, respectively. The results supported that portable FT-IR, and UV-Vis units present great potential for real-time surveillance of green pea and peanut adulteration in pistachio.

  Phytochemical profile and biological activity of a therapeutic orchid from Anatolia: Dactylorhiza romana subsp. georgica

  Kotiloğlu, Deniz; Acet, Tuba; Özcan, Kadriye

  In Anatolia, the tubers of Dactylorhiza romana subsp. georgica orchid are consumed as food and frequently used in folk medicine to alleviate the symptoms of some disorders. However, these properties have not been scientifically studied until the present day. In this research, we aimed to identify phenolic profile of the orchid tubers and determine their several features and functions. Among these, there are the antioxidant and antimicrobial effects and the inhibitory effect against diabetes related enzymes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase). In this sense, total phenolic content (Folin–Cicalteu assay), total antioxidant capacity (Phosphomolybdate method), antioxidant (ABTS and DPPH assays) and enzyme inhibition effects of tuber extracts obtained with different solvents (chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol, ethanol, or hexane) were determined by using spectrophotometric methods, and the phenolic profile was also analysed by HPLC. In addition, antimicrobial activity of the extracts against 3 g (+) and 3 g (−) bacteria and 2 forms of yeasts was determined by disc diffusion and micro dilution methods. Based on our findings, the total phenolic content and antioxidant properties of ethyl acetate extract were considerably higher than the others. The most abundant among the screened phenolic standards was found to be benzoic acid. The highest α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzyme inhibition was measured in methanol and chloroform extracts, respectively. The highest antibacterial (B. cereus) and anticandidal (C. tropicalis and C. albicans) activities were detected in the chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts, respectively. In short, it was clearly seen that the D. romana subsp. georgica tuber had a great potential for being used in food and drug industries as a source of bioactive compounds.

  Degradation kinetics of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity in strawberry juice concentrate stored at high and low temperatures

  Menevseoglu, Ahmed; Dıblan, Sevgin; Türkyılmaz, Meltem; Özkan, Mehmet

  In this study, changes in ascorbic acid (AA), phenolics, anthocyanins (ACNs) and antioxidant activity (AOA) were monitored during storage at − 25, 4, 10 and 20 °C to observe the stability of bioactive compound in strawberry juice concentrates (SJCs). Half-life periods (t1/2) for ACN and AA degradations were 7.9 and 50 days at 20 °C, respectively. On the contrary, much higher t1/2 values were found for the reduction in AOA and phenolics, i.e. 251 and 430 days at 20 °C, respectively. AOA and phenolics were more stable during storage than AA and ACNs. p-Coumaric acid was the major phenolic identified in SJC. p-coumaric acid (33.8%), catechin (23.1%), vanilic acid (18.6%) and epicatechin (16.1%), which constituted 91.6% of phenolics in SJC, followed by chlorogenic acid (4.9%) and caffeic acid (3.2%). Chlorogenic acid was the least stable phenolic in SJC stored at 20 °C. Strong correlations were found between AOA and ACNs (r = 0.99), phenolics (r = 0.94) and AA (r = 0.92) in SJC stored at 20 °C. Significant ACN and AA degradations occurred at storage temperature as low as 4 °C. Therefore, storage at − 25 ℃ was suggested for SJC to maximize the stabilities of especially ACNs and AA in SJC.

  Yuksel, Ferhat

  The current study was conducted with the purpose to produce wheat chips enriched with powder of pasta boiling water (PPBW). Pasting properties of chips dough changed with addition of powder of pasta boiling water. The textural properties of dough samples decreased with the addition of PPBW, but there were no differences between 2nd and 3rd samples including 10 and 20 % PPBW. The oil content of the samples decreased with the increase of PPBW from 33.78 to 22.19 %. The morphological analysis showed that the number of pores and pore size decreased with the addition of PPBW. Maximum overall acceptability score of the samples was given for control samples (5.64) while the overall acceptability of samples with 10 % PPBW was close to control sample (5.14). PPBW may be used in the formulation of chips it may be used to be coating matter for snacks in food industry.
