    Evaluating The Multifaceted Impact Of Cephalaria Extract On Dough Quality: Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, And Cytotoxic Properties
    (INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, 2024-12) Bagdat, Elif Seyma; Bozkurt, Fatih; Ilikkan, Ozge Kahraman; Sagdic, Osman; Tornuk, Fatih
    Cephalaria syriaca, known as cephalaria, is an annual, pilose plant with pink-purple flowers growing wild in wheat fields. Viscoelastic properties of gluten-free doughs can be improved by adding cephalaria. However, this addition results in some undesirable properties in bread such as bitter taste and dark internal colour. This study aimed to reduce these effects by obtaining cephalaria obtained from distilled water and ethanol extracts and to increase the potential use of extracts in bread production. Different proportions of water and ethanol extracts obtained from oil-free cephalaria were added to bread by creating a model with Mixture Design, and the optimum concentration was determined by farinograph trials. The antioxidative, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic effects of extract and the effect of cephalaria on yeast activity were examined. Cephalaria extracts had no measurable antimicrobial effect and no antifungal effect on Rhizopus stolonifer, while an antifungal effect was found against A. niger and P. expansum. The IC50 value was found to be 4.15 mg mL(-1 )for ethanol extract while the water extract had no effect on cells. The addition of extract had no negative effect on the number of yeasts in sourdough fermentation. The study has improved the usage of cephalaria by using water and ethanol extracts in dough.

    A Novel Synbiotic Edible Film Based On Aquafaba, Psyllium Husk Powder, Peg 400, And Lactiplantibacillus Plantarum 299v And Applicability On Kashar Cheese
    (JOURNAL OF FOOD MEASUREMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION, 2024-12) Ilikkan, Ozge Kahraman; Bagdat, Elif Seyma; Yilmaz, Ilkay; Beyter, Nurten; Yuzay, Isinay Ebru
    In this study, it was aimed to compare a novel synbiotic edible film based on aquafaba, psyllium husk powder, and PEG 400 with or without Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 299v. Therefore, primarily, optimization of the edible film was carried out by Box-Behnken design in response surface methodology (rsm). The characterization of edible films with or without probiotic bacteria was performed by FTIR, viscosity, pH, total solid content, water and oxygen solubility, film thickness, color L*, a*, b*, transparency, and film tensile strength. It was determined that there was no statistically significant difference in viscosity, pH, lightness L*, water vapor, and oxygen permeability values with the addition of probiotic lactic acid bacteria to the optimized coating film samples. In addition, it was observed that the probiotic bacteria count did not decrease below 108 cfu/g for 60 days of storage. The resulting edible film formulation with (PL) and without (PS) probiotics was used to coat Kashar cheese, while control cheeses (C) were not coated. As a result, it was observed that the microbiological quality of the coated cheeses was as good as control or better than control especially at the end of storage in terms of mold/ yeast and coliforms. Sensory evolution revealed coating films with or without probiotics did not change the texture, flavor, odor, or appearance of cheeses. Physicochemical properties such as pH, % titratable acidity, % dry matter, % fat, and % salt were detected.

    The Effect Of Kefir Enrichment With Arthrospira Platensis And Chlorella Vulgaris On Kefir Microbiota, Antioxidant, And Physicochemical Properties
    (2022) Kahraman Ilikkan, Ozge; Bagdat, Elif Seyma
    This study evaluated the effect of Arthrospira platensis and Chlorella vulgaris on kefir microbiota, total phenolic content, antioxidant activity, and physicochemical properties such as pH, Brix, total dry matter, and titratable acidity. The results showed that the addition of algae at concentrations of 0.5% (w/v) and 1% (w/v) to the kefir did not change the acceptable physicochemical properties of kefir. The acidity of the microalgae-enriched kefirs increased with increasing algae concentration. Total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of all kefir samples fortified with algae were higher than those of the control. However, the addition of A. platensis exhibited better prebiotic activity than C. vulgaris on kefir microbiota during storage. Principal component analysis and overall results showed that A. platensis was a better candidate for improving the nutritional value of kefir.

    Metataxonomic Sequencing To Assess Microbial Safety Of Turkish White Cheeses
    (2022) Kahraman-Ilikkan, Ozge; Bagdat, Elif Seyma; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5843-6868; 35277850; Q-9641-2019
    High-throughput sequencing has provided a way to monitor the large diversity of microorganisms in fermented foods that have complex microbiota. Up to date, many kinds of cheese have been characterized with the metataxonomic approach, but the safety of unpacked Turkish white cheeses, which are widely consumed in Turkey, has not been assessed. In this study, fifteen unpacked white cheeses sold in public bazaars in Ankara province have been collected and subjected to microbial enumeration as well as physicochemical analysis. Five white cheeses, which have relatively the highest foodborne pathogens, out of fifteen white cheeses, have been analyzed by next-generation sequencing and metataxonomic analysis. According to the results, abundant families were Lactobacillaceae, Oceanospirillaceae, Enterococcaceae, Pseudomonadaceae, and Vibrionaceae. Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, and Salmonella, which are indicators of bad hygiene and sanitation conditions, were found in cheeses. In conclusion, culture-independent methods such as metataxonomic can be important to evaluate the safety of foods.

    Comparison of bacterial and fungal biodiversity of Turkish kefir grains with high-throughput metagenomic analysis
    (2021) Ilikkan, Ozge Kahraman; Bagdat, Elif Seyma; 0000-0001-5843-6868; Q-9641-2019
    Kefir is a health-promoting fermented drink having complex microbiota. This complex microbiota consists of bacteria and yeast association that is bound together with a polysaccharide called kefiran. To date, the complex microbiota of fermented foods was enlightened with culture-depended methods, however, recently, metagenomic studies have been started to use to reveal microbial diversity of fermented foods such as kefir. In this present study, we investigated the microbiome of two artisanal Turkish kefir grains (namely, A and G) by high throughput sequencing at the species level. Additionally, physicochemical analyses were carried out besides enumerations of lactobacilli, lactococci, total aerobic, and bifidobacteria in fermented milk kefirs. In these two kefir grains, different bacterial and fungal populations were revealed. In kefir grain A, Bifidobacterium longum was the dominant species while in kefir grain G, Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens was dominant. Concerning fungal diversity, in kefir grain A, Naumovozyma dairensis was the dominant yeast, while in kefir grain G, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii was dominant. High-throughput sequencing studies have revealed that kefir grains were typically dominated by lactobacilli. But, in this study, Bifidobacterium longum was found as a dominant bacterium in kefir for the first time.
