    Valorization of agricultural by-product: Optimization of alcohol-based extraction of polyphenols from chestnut peel using box-behnken design
    (Univ Putra Malaysia Press, 2022-02-01) Sarı, F.; Erol, Türkmen N.; İncedayi, Bige; İNCEDAYI, BİGE; Çopur, Ömer Utku; ÇOPUR, ÖMER UTKU; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Ziraat Fakültesi/Gıda Mühendisliği Bölümü.
    In the present work, solvent concentration, extraction time, and solid to solvent (S/S) ratio were evaluated in order to recover the majority of polyphenols from chestnut peel waste using ethanol and methanol. Extraction method for polyphenols from peel pre-treated by ohmic heating (OH) was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). The effect of these independent variables on total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant capacity (AC) was studied using Box-Behnken Design (BBD). A second-order polynomial model provided a satisfactory fit to the experimental data with a high coefficient of determination (R-2) value. Results showed that S/S ratio and solvent concentration were generally significant variables during extraction in terms of TPC and AC. The optimum extraction conditions were obtained as 1/10 of S/S ratio and 60% of solvent concentration for both solvents. As the optimum extraction time, 82.41 min for ethanolic extraction and 116.97 min for methanolic extraction were selected. Under these optimal conditions, TPC values of the ethanolic and methanolic extracts were found to be 39.02 and 38.79 mg gallic acid equivalents per gram of dry matter (mg GAE/g DM), respectively, thus indicating highly close agreement to the predicted values. Consequently, the effectiveness of the solvents used was found to be very similar to each other. The OH pre-treatment appeared to be a promising technique for polyphenolic extraction from industrial wastes.

    Pollen, a natural component of flowers that regulates the reproduction of plants, is in granular form and collected by bees as source of food. A wide range of nutrients including carbohydrates, amino acids, vitamins and polyphenols constitute bee pollen, the latter being responsible for its various biological activities. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of harvest season on the bioaccessibility of bee pollen polyphenols. For this purpose, bee pollen samples were collected for 4 consecutive weeks from Domanic, Kutahya, Turkiye. The collected samples were subjected to the standardized INFOGEST in vitro digestion model. The changes in the total phenolics, flavonoids and antioxidant capacity during digestion were measured using spectrophotometric methods, whereas the alterations in individual polyphenols were identified and quantified using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS). Results of spectrophotometric methods showed that the bioaccessible total phenolics, flavonoids and antioxidants were higher in samples collected at the first week compared to samples collected at the following weeks (18-25%, 38-47% and 52-57%, respectively) (P < 0.05). UPLC-ESI-MS/MS analysis of bee pollen samples led to the identification of 30 major compounds including 17 flavonoids and 13 phenolic acids and other bioactive compounds. In total, the concentration of bioaccessible flavonoids was the highest in samples collected at the first week, whereas samples collected on the third week contained significantly more bioaccessible phenolic acids and other bioactive compounds (P < 0.05). Overall, the current study highlighted that harvest season affects the content and bioaccessibility of bee pollen polyphenols.

    Bio-active compounds include terpenoids, alkaloids, nitrogen-containing compounds, organosulfur compounds, and phenolics. Plant-based bio-active compounds show antimicrobial activity, anti-inflammatory activity, immunostimulatory activity, anticancer activity, antioxidant activity, etc. Due to higher benefits of bio-active compounds, they have been used for the manufacturing of food supplements and food additives and as an alternative to drugs and an ingredient for foods to increase their functionality. The extraction is the main step to obtain a desired bio-active compound from the plant materials. Since bio-active compounds are synthesized in small quantities in plants and embedded within the plant matrix, sometimes complexed with other compounds in the plant, their proper extraction method is very crucial. There are two main extraction methods used for bio-active compounds: classical or conventional methods and nonconventional methods. The classical methods include soxhlet extraction, maceration, infusion, percolation, digestion, decoction, steam, and hydrodistillation. The disadvantages of conventional methods include higher consumption of organic solvents with higher purity, higher cost, lower extraction efficiency, long processing time, and higher temperature. Therefore, as an alternative to classical extraction methods, nonconventional methods have been applied extensively so far. Nonconventional methods were referred to as green technologies. Since energy and organic solvent consumption are reduced, those methods can be regarded as beneficial to the environment. The most important methods are ultrasound-, enzyme-, microwave-, and pulsed electric field-assisted extraction, pressurized liquid extraction, and supercritical fluid extraction. The extraction yields of bio-active compounds are strongly bound on the extraction method, physicochemical properties of the plant material, extraction solvent, temperature, pressure, and time. The present chapter focuses on the technologies used for the extraction of plant-based bio-active compounds and comparison of advantages and disadvantages of the methods and summarizes the recent advances in this field.

    (Springer, 2022-02-20) Tunçkal, Cüneyt; ÖZKAN KARABACAK, AZİME; ÇOPUR, ÖMER UTKU; Ömeroğlu, Perihan Yolci; YOLCI ÖMEROĞLU, PERİHAN; Tamer, Canan Ece; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Ziraat Fakültesi; 0000-0003-4175-4477; 0000-0002-9395-3534; AAH-2319-2019; AAG-8503-2021
    For drying of heat-sensitive crops at low temperature and humidity, heat pump drying (HPD) could be a useful option. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of HDP process conditions on total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity (AA) and their in-vitro bioaccesibility of the melon slices and to optimize HPD conditions to obtain dried product with high bioactive properties. Drying air temperature (35-45 degrees C), air velocity (5-9 m/s) and slice thickness (0.5-1 mm) were selected as variables for Box-Behnken experimental design. Depending on the stability of the phenolics, physical changes of the matrix, and the HPD conditions, both incremental (2-114.39%) and decremental (5-47%) effects of drying were observed for AA and TPC of the melon slices. After in vitro digestion, dried melon slice was found to contain higher amounts of bioaccessible total phenolics (up to 165%) and AA measured by DPPH assay (up to 188.19%) compared to fresh melon slices, on the other hand bioaccesibility of AA by CUPRAC and FRAP assays after digestion decreased (up to 63%) by drying process. The relation between the responses (AA, TPC and their in-vitro bioaccesibility) and the variables were best fitted to quadratic, reduced quadratic and reduced cubic models with high R-2 values by response surface methodology. The optimal condition for all responses with composite desirability of 0.777 was: 35 degrees C drying air temperature, 0.5 m/s drying air velocity and 9 mm slice thickness. Melon slices dried by HPD could be accepted as an innovative snack for health-conscious consumers.

    Assessment of cactus pear leather (pestil) as a new snack food
    (Springer India, 2022-02-12) İncedayı, Bige; İNCEDAYI, BİGE; Doğan, Nevin; Çopur, Ömer Utku; ÇOPUR, ÖMER UTKU; 0000-0001-6128-7453
    In this study, selected nutritional and functional properties of cactus pear and cactus pear leather (pestil) processed with different dryers (oven type and pilot scale tray dryers) were evaluated. For this aim, the fruits collected from three different districts of Turkey were processed and the most suitable region and processing method were investigated. Processing with different dryers had significant (p < 0.05) impact on total acidity, total phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, color and hydroxymethylfurfural values of pestil samples and the best results including antioxidant capacity (66.91-70.25%) and total phenolics (1.79-2.01 g gallic acid equivalent per kg) were obtained with the tray dryer. On the other hand, mineral contents (Na, K, Ca, Mg and Fe) of the products were not significantly (p > 0.05) affected from different dryers. Pestil obtained by tray drying gave the highest rate for the taste. According to the results, the fruits collected from the Aegean region of Turkey were more convenient for processing. Because there is a limited number of studies on this fruit, data provided in the present study may also contribute to further studies.
