  Probiotics Safety Aspect of Functional Foods

  Oba, Sirin; Yildirim, Tugce; Karataş, Şeyda Merve

  In recent years, interest in probiotics has increased as functional foods improve quality of life and consumers become more health-conscious. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has determined that all common probiotics are safe for the general population. However, this definition does not guide the outcomes of using probiotics in people with diseases that favor them, as there are no strict regulations governing applicable trademark law and the manufacture of probiotics. For this reason, Probiotics are recognized to be beneficial for the majority of patients during treatment; however, patients with weakened immune systems may be at risk for bacteremia, endocarditis, and peritonitis. There are no necessary standards regarding safety and use protocols for probiotics. More information is needed on their use before recommending probiotics to treat or prevent disease in privileged groups. These products may be considered a public health concern by reviewing information on the use of probiotics to predict the likelihood of side effects in vulnerable groups (young children, the elderly, and pregnant women).

  Effect of Brewing Conditions on Sensorial and Antioxidant Properties of Linden Tea

  Ilyasoğlu, Huri; Arpa Zemzemoğlu, Tuba Eda

  The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of brewing conditions (infusion time and temperature) on the sensorial and antioxidant properties of linden tea. The sensorial properties (color, odor, taste, and overall acceptability), total phenolic content (TPC), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of the tea samples were analyzed. A two-factor and three-level central composite design was applied for response surface methodology (RSM) to assess the effects of the independent variables on the responses. Our findings revealed that the best combination of temperature and time was 85–95°C and 8–10 min for the linden tea.

  Development of Homemade Hazelnut Milk-based Beverage

  Aysu, Şühedanur; Akıl, Fatoş; Çevik, Edanur; Kılıç, Mustafa Emin; İlyasoğlu, Huri

  A homemade hazelnut milk-based beverage was prepared from hazelnut milk with raisins. The proximate composition, physicochemical and sensorial properties, total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity, and fatty acid compositions of the beverage samples were determined. The properties of the three different preparations of homemade hazelnut milk with raisins (1%, 3%, and 5%) were compared with the control sample without raisins. The main macronutrient was fat (6.3‒7.3%) in the hazelnut milk beverage followed by carbohydrate (3‒3.5%) and protein (2.2‒2.5%). The addition of raisins to the beverage formulation increased the flavor and general acceptability scores. It also improved the TPC and antioxidant capacity. The TPC of the developed beverage samples ranged from 65 to 97 mg/L. The fatty acid composition was rich in monounsaturated fatty acids as mainly oleic acid (>80%). The hazelnut milk beverage may have potential as a functional beverage in a daily diet to provide nutrients and energy.

  Determining tourists’ propensity to consume innovative cuisine: the case of molecular cuisine

  Akyürek, suat; Kızılcık, onur

  In this research, which was carried out in order to obtain findings that will contribute to determine touristic product development and promotion strategies of tourism establishments serving for food and beverage industry, tourists’ propensity to consume molecular cuisine were reviewed. Moreover, it was tested whether or not there was difference between tourists’ propensity to consume molecular cuisine according to some socio-demographic variables in order to obtain indicative findings for tourism marketers within the scope of demographic segmentation which is among the market segmentation strategies. The data obtained from the research was reviewed and then reliability analysis, frequency analysis, t test, and one-way variance analysis were performed on the data. Finally, theoretical and practical implications of this study were discussed.
