Öğe A novel film based on a cellulose/sodium alginate/gelatin composite activated with an ethanolic fraction of Boswellia sacra oleo gum resin(Wiley, 2024) Bhatia, Saurabh; Shah, Yasir Abbas; Al-Harrasi, Ahmed; Ullah, Sana; Anwer, Md Khalid; Koca, Esra; Aydemir, Levent YurdaerBoswellia sacra and its derivatives exhibit notable bioactive properties, which have been the subject of extensive scientific research; however, their potential applications in food packaging remain largely untapped. In the current study, cellulose, sodium alginate, and gelatin composite edible films were fabricated with the addition of different concentrations (0.2% and 0.3%) of the ethanolic fraction of Boswellia sacra oleo gum resin (BSOR). The resultant films were examined for their physical, chemical, mechanical, barrier, optical, and antioxidant properties. Moreover, the films were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to study the impact of incorporating BSOR on the morphological, crystalline, and chemical properties of the films. The addition of BSOR increased the film thickness (0.026-0.08 mm), water vapor permeability (0.210-0.619 (g.mm)/(m(2).h.kPa), and the intensity of the yellow color (3.01-7.20) while reducing the values of both tensile strength (6.67-1.03 MPa) and elongation at break (83.50%-48.81%). SEM and FTIR analysis confirmed the interaction between the BSOR and film-forming components. The antioxidant properties of the edible films were significantly increased with the addition of BSOR. The comprehensive findings of the study demonstrated that BSOR possesses the potential to serve as an efficient natural antioxidant agent in the fabrication of edible films.Öğe Antimicrobial topical polymeric films loaded with Acetyl-11-keto- ?-boswellic acid (AKBA), boswellic acid and silver nanoparticles: Optimization, characterization, and biological activity (vol 10, e31671, 2024)(Cell Press, 2024) Jawad, Muhammad; Bhatia, Saurabh; Al-Harrasi, Ahmed; Ullah, Sana; Halim, Sobia Ahsan; Khan, Ajmal; Koca, Esra[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Antimicrobial topical polymeric films loaded with Acetyl-11-keto-?-boswellic acid (AKBA), boswellic acid and silver nanoparticles: Optimization, characterization, and biological activity(Cell Press, 2024) Jawad, Muhammad; Bhatia, Saurabh; Al-Harrasi, Ahmed; Ullah, Sana; Halim, Sobia Ahsan; Khan, Ajmal; Koca, EsraThe study examined the antimicrobial and antioxidant potential of pure Acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA), boswellic acid (70%) and AKBA loaded nanoparticles as topical polymeric films. The optimized concentration (0.05 % w/v) of pure AKBA, boswellic acid (BA), and AKBA loaded silver nanoparticles were used to study its impact on film characteristics. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), sodium alginate (SA), and gelatin (Ge) composite films were prepared in this study. The polymeric films were evaluated for their biological (antioxidant and antimicrobial activities) and mechanical characteristics such as tensile strength (TS) and elongation (%). Moreover, other parameters including water barrier properties and color attributes of the film were also evaluated. Furthermore, assessments were conducted using analytical techniques like FTIR, XRD, and SEM. Surface analysis revealed that AgNP precipitation led to a few particles in the film structure. Overall, the results indicate a relatively consistent microstructure. Moreover, due to the addition of AKBA, BA, and AgNPs, a significant decrease in TS, moisture content, water solubility, and water vapor permeation was observed. The films transparency also showed a decreasing trend, and the color analysis revealed decreasing yellowness (b*) of the films. Importantly, a significant increase in antioxidant activity against DPPH free radicals and ABTS cations was observed in the CSG films. Additionally, the AgNP-AKBA loaded films displayed significant antifungal activity against C. albicans. Moreover, the molecular docking analysis revealed the inter-molecular interactions between the AKBA, AgNPs, and composite films. The docking results indicate good binding of AKBA and silver nanoparticles with gelatin and carboxymethyl cellulosemolecules. In conclusion, these polymeric films have potential as novel materials with significant antioxidant and antifungal activities.Öğe Application of plant-based proteins for fortification of oat yogurt storage stability and bioactivity(Wiley, 2023) Demir, Hande; Aydemir, Levent Yurdaer; Ozel, Muhammed Sefik; Koca, Esra; Simsek Aslanoglu, MericThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the addition of plant-based peanut protein isolate (PNP) and commercial pea protein (CPP) on the quality of oat yogurt (OY). PNP and CPP were partially characterized for techno-functional properties. PNP had higher solubility (acidic and basic regions) and emulsifying activity than CPP. The water absorption capacity of CPP is significantly (p < 0.05) higher than PNP. Amino acid profiles of PNP and CPP were promising for the nutritional enhancement of OYs. OYs with PNP or CPP (0.5, 1, 2% w/v) were stored for 21 days and compared to the control group with no protein. On the 21st day of storage, (i) PNP- or CPP-added OYs were found to be comparable to the control with respect to post-acidification and viscosity, (ii) syneresis was more evident in PNP-added OYs than in CPP-added ones, (iii) total color change of 1% CPP-added OY was equal to the control, and (iv) hardnesses of control, 2% PNP, and 2% CPP-added OYs were 0.29 & PLUSMN; 0.00, 0.39 & PLUSMN; 0.01, and 0.45 & PLUSMN; 0.00 N, respectively. No adverse sensory effects were detected for CPP or PNP addition. Both proteins increased the total phenolic, soluble protein, antioxidant, antihypertensive, and & alpha;-glucosidase inhibition activity of oat milk and OYs, with PNP superior to CPP overall. Compared to oat milk, the fermentation process increased ACE inhibition activity in in vitro digested samples, whereas it reduced digested yogurts' antioxidant activity. Utilization of PNP in OY can solve the waste problem of peanut producers and the texture problem of the OY producers while formulating a functional product. Practical ApplicationPlant-based (PB) yogurts have a growing consumer demand. The low-protein content of PB yogurts results in low acceptance with respect to their undesirable textural and sensorial attributes. This study provided a technical basis for the PB yogurt manufacturers focusing on the addition of commercial pea protein and isolated peanut protein into oat yogurt formulation without any thickeners or flavors. In vitro digestion of protein-added oat milk and oat yogurts showed the benefits of fermentation on bioactivity to the consumers.Öğe Enhancing Tensile Strength, Thermal Stability, and Antioxidant Characteristics of Transparent Kappa Carrageenan Films Using Grapefruit Essential Oil for Food Packaging Applications(Amer Chemical Soc, 2024) Bhatia, Saurabh; Abbas Shah, Yasir; Al-Harrasi, Ahmed; Jawad, Muhammad; Koca, Esra; Aydemir, Levent YurdaerThe trends in food packaging technologies are shifting toward utilizing natural and environmentally friendly materials prepared from biopolymers such as kappa carrageenan to replace synthetic polymers. In the current study, varying amounts (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3%) of grapefruit essential oil (GFO) were incorporated in kappa carrageenan-based edible films to improve their physicochemical properties. The developed film samples were characterized for their barrier, mechanical, morphological, optical, thermal, antioxidant, and biodegradable properties. The results obtained showed that the tensile strength of the carrageenan films enhanced significantly from 65.20 +/- 4.71 to 98.21 +/- 6.35 MPa with the incorporation of GFO in a concentration-dependent manner. FTIR and SEM analysis confirmed the intermolecular bonding between carrageenan and GFO, resulting in the formation of compact films. Incorporating GFO significantly enhanced the thermal resistance of oil-loaded films, as confirmed by TGA, DSC, and DTG analysis. The addition of GFO led to a substantial increase in the radical scavenging activity of the films, as evidenced by the DPPH and ABTS assays. Furthermore, the developed films were biodegradable in soil and seawater environments, indicating their potential as a sustainable alternative to traditional plastics. Findings demonstrated that GFO can be used as a natural antioxidant agent in kappa carrageenan-based films for potential applications in food packaging.Öğe Examining the potential of peppermint essential oil-infused pectin and kappa-carrageenan composite films for sustainable food packaging(Cell Press, 2024) Bhatia, Saurabh; Alhadhrami, Aysha Salim; Shah, Yasir Abbas; Esatbeyoglu, Tuba; Koca, Esra; Aydemir, Levent Yurdaer; Al-Harrasi, AhmedEssential oils are key ingredients in the development of edible films and provide a diverse approach to improving food preservation, as well as sensory qualities. The pectin and kappacarrageenan composite films were obtained by adding peppermint essential oil in different quantities. The films after their fabrication were thoroughly evaluated for their attributes, which included mechanical, barrier, optical, chemical, thermal, and antioxidant properties. The visual assessment of the films demonstrated that PEO-loaded films showed a uniform, homogenous, and slightly yellowish appearance. There was an increase in the thickness (0.045 f 0.006 to 0.060 f 0.008 mm), elongation at break (12.73 f 0.74 to 25.05 f 1.33 %), and water vapor permeability (0.447 f 0.014 to 0.643 f 0.014 (g*mm)/(m2*h*kPa)) was observed with the addition of PEO. However, tensile strength (45.84 f 3.69 to 29.80 f 2.10 MPa) and moisture content (25.83 f 0.046 to 21.82 f 0.23 %) decreased with the incorporation of PEO. Furthermore, thermal and antioxidant properties were enhanced by the inclusion of PEO. The presented investigation can be employed to synthesize food packaging material with antioxidant properties with potential applications in food packaging.Öğe Gelatin/calcium-caseinate films loaded with petitgrain essential oil for sustainable food packaging(Wiley, 2024) Bhatia, Saurabh; Shah, Yasir Abbas; Al-Harrasi, Ahmed; Jawad, Muhammad; Diblan, Sevgin; Khan, Talha Shireen; Koca, EsraThis research focuses on the development and assessment of films composed of gelatin (GE) and calcium caseinate (CC), loaded with varying concentrations of petitgrain essential oil (PEO). A comprehensive assessment of the resulting films was conducted with a focus on the antioxidant, antibacterial, and physicochemical attributes. GCMS analysis identified the primary constituents of PEO, including linalyl acetate, linalool, alpha-pinene, alpha-terpineol, limonene, beta-myrcene, geranyl acetate, and neryl acetate. The antioxidant capacity of GE-CC films increased significantly with increasing PEO concentration, as evidenced by DPPH and ABTS assays. Simultaneously, increased PEO concentration led to increased thickness, water vapour permeability (WVP), elongation at break (EAB), and water solubility (WS) in the active films while reducing moisture content (MC) and tensile strength (TS). In terms of optical characteristics, the transparency of the films decreased, while the b* (yellowness) and Delta E (total colour variation) values increased upon oil incorporation. The presence of intermolecular interactions between the polymers and the oil was confirmed through FTIR and morphological characteristics studied by SEM. The addition of PEO to the films resulted in improved thermal resistance against degradation, as observed in the thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). Moreover, these active films showed potent antimicrobial activity against C. albicans and P. aeruginosa. In summary, this study underscores the suitability of GE-CC films containing PEO for food packaging purposes, highlighting their functional characteristics and environmentally friendly nature. Visual analysis of gelatin and calcium caseinate blank and composite films loaded with and without varying concentrations of petitgrain essential oil. Film samples loaded with and without oil exhibited homogeneous and even structures without any irregularities, demonstrating the good film-forming properties of the biopolymers as well as their compatibility with other components. imageÖğe Impregnation of Pectin-Sodium Caseinate Films with Lemongrass Essential Oil: Physical-Chemical, Antimicrobial, and Antioxidant Assessment(Amer Chemical Soc, 2024) Bhatia, Saurabh; Khan, Talha Shireen; Alhadhrami, Aysha Salim; Shah, Yasir Abbas; Philip, Anil K.; Diblan, Sevgin; Koca, EsraBiopolymers derived from natural resources have gained much interest in the past few decades to replace conventional nonbiodegradable petroleum-based packaging. Essential oils and plant extracts are frequently utilized for their antimicrobial and antioxidant properties in the development of edible films and coatings serving as bioactive compounds. The current study investigated the impact of various concentrations of lemongrass essential oil (LEO) on the physical and chemical characteristics as well as the antioxidant capabilities of films made from sodium caseinate and pectin. The addition of LEO led to a decrease in mechanical parameters of film samples like elongation at break (EAB) decreased from 19.73 +/- 0.81 to 4.06 +/- 0.20 and tensile strength (TS) decreased from 11.16 +/- 0.81 to 2.43 +/- 0.08 but a rise in opacity (4.39 +/- 0.14 to 5.60 +/- 0.13), thickness (0.044 +/- 0.005 to 0.078 +/- 0.005), and water vapor permeability (WVP) (0.391 +/- 0.013 to 0.760 +/- 0.035) was observed. The gloss value of the film samples increased from 11.9 +/- 0.1 to 13.1 +/- 0.1, and haziness increased from 45.85 +/- 1.05 to 71.69 +/- 0.25 as the concentration of LEO increased, reducing their transparency (89.22 +/- 0.27-88.24 +/- 0.19). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed additional microstructural alterations in the films as a result of the addition of LEO. Furthermore, antimicrobial activity was detected in the PSC4 film sample against E. coli. The oil-loaded films showed significantly higher antioxidant activity of 40.41% compared to the control film sample, having 16.57% antioxidant activity. Contact angle measurements demonstrated that the film samples became more hydrophobic with the addition of LEO (55.52 degrees in the maximum LEO concentrated film). This study introduces a promising method for creating active food packaging materials for packaging applications.Öğe Karabuğday Nişastasından Yenilebilir Film Üretimi ve Nişastanın Yağ Asitleri ile Modifikasyonunun Film Mekanik Özellikleri Üzerine Etkisi(2022) Kahraman, Kevser; Aydemir, Levent Yurdaer; Özbey, Ayşe; Koca, Esra; Emlek, Betül OskaybaşBu proje, karabuğdaydan yüksek saflıkta ve verimde nişasta üretilmesini, üretilen nişastanın çeşitli yağ asitleri (10C, 14C, 18C) kullanılarak elde edilen amiloz-lipit kompleksinden film üretimini amaçlamaktadır. Amiloz-lipit kompleksi üretiminde herbir yağ asidi için en etkili iki reaksiyon parametresi (sıcaklık, süre, pH, yağ asidi/nişasta oranı) belirlenmiştir. Herbir yağ asidi için en etkili iki parametre kullanılarak merkezi kompozit tasarım ile deneme tasarımları oluşturulmuş, komplekslerin kompleks indeks (KI), görünür amiloz, sindirilebilirlik, su bağlama-çözünürlük, çirişlenme, berraklık ve sineresis derecesi gibi özellikleri açısından karakterize edilmiştir. Kompleks oluşumunun nişastanın yapısına etkisi XRD ve FT-IR ile incelenmiştir. Amiloz-lipit kompleks oluşumu ile nişastanın enzime dirençli nişasta miktarı artmış, şişme gücü azalmıştır. En yüksek KI değerine sahip amiloz-kompleksi içeren nişastalar kullanılarak gliserol varlığında filmler üretilmiştir. Gliserol konsantrasyonu, çözelti sıcaklığı ve pH?nın film mekanik özelliklerine etkisinin araştırılması amacıyla, bu parametreler kullanılarak yanıt yüzey yöntemi ile deneme tasarımları oluşturulmuş, film üretimi gerçekleştirilmiş ve optimum film karakteristiklerine sahip film üretiminin sağlandığı parametreler belirlenmiştir. Optimum koşullarda amiloz-lipit kompleksi kullanılarak üretilen filmlerin gerilme dirençleri miristik (1,09 MPa) ve stearik asit (3,360 MPa) için kontrol filme göre daha yüksek, uzama değeri ise kaprik asit (%114,59) için daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Amiloz-lipit kompleksi kullanılarak üretilen filmlerin çözünürlük, nem ve kalınlık değerleri kontrollere göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur. En iyi su buharı bariyer özelliğine amiloz-miristik asit kompleks filmi (0,394 g.mm/m2.h.kPa) ile elde edilmiştir. SEM ve AFM görüntüleri amiloz-lipit kompleksi kullanımının film morfolojik ve topografik özelliklerine etki ettiğini göstermiştir. Su ile yüzey temas açısı sonuçlarına göre sadece amiloz-stearik asit kompleksi filmi hidrofobik yüzeye sahip olmuşlardır. Tüm sonuçlar genel olarak değerlendirildiğinde proje kapsamında karabuğday nişastasından enzime dirençli nişasta kaynağı olma potansiyeline sahip amiloz-lipit kompleksi oluşturmuş; oluşturulan bu komplekslerden mekanik özellikleri yüksek yenilebilir film üretimi gerçekleştirilebilmiştir.Öğe Novel applications of black pepper essential oil as an antioxidant agent in sodium caseinate and chitosan based active edible films(Elsevier, 2024) Bhatia, Saurabh; Shah, Yasir Abbas; Al-Harrasi, Ahmed; Jawad, Muhammad; Koca, Esra; Aydemir, Levent YurdaerIn the current study, sodium caseinate and chitosan-based composite edible films were developed with the incorporation of black pepper (Piper nigrum) essential oil (BPO) in various concentrations (0.05, 0.1 and 0.15 %) for potential food packaging applications. The chemical composition of BPO was determined using GCMS and the major compound detected were beta-caryophyllene, limonene, beta-phellandren, pinene, copaene and alpha-humulene. The addition of BPO resulted in an increase in the thickness, EAB, WVP, moisture content and swelling index values of the films; however, the TS and water solubility decreased. The inclusion of BPO led to a substantial enhancement in the DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging capabilities of the edible films. SEM micrographs demonstrated intermolecular interaction between BPO, sodium caseinate, and chitosan. FTIR spectra confirmed the interaction of the functional groups of the polymers and BPO. The incorporation of the BPO increased the crystallinity of the films. Moreover, the thermal analysis including TGA, DSC and DTG demonstrated an increase in the thermal stability of the edible films with the addition of the BPO. These findings demonstrated that sodium caseinate and chitosan composite based edible films loaded with BPO can be used as sustainable active food packaging material.Öğe Preparation and characterization of gelatin-pectin-based active films incorporated with Styrax benzoin oleo gum resin(Wiley, 2024) Bhatia, Saurabh; Jawad, Muhammad; Chinnam, Sampath; Al-Harrasi, Ahmed; Shah, Yasir Abbas; Koca, Esra; Aydemir, Levent YurdaerIn this study, benzoin oleogum resin (BOGR) loaded antioxidant gelatin/pectin (GEPE) based films were developed and characterized for various parameters including mechanical, barrier, optical, film hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, surface roughness, chemical, thermal, morphological and antioxidant properties. The incorporation of BOGR decreased water solubility, moisture content, tensile strength, and elongation at break. However, water permeability, opacity, thickness, and water hydrophobicity were increased. Moreover, SEM and AFM analysis confirmed that the films loaded with BOGR showed heterogeneous and rougher surfaces in comparison to blank film. The intermolecular interactions between GEPE and BOGR was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy. Thermal stability of the prepared BOGR loaded films was improved. Additionally, antioxidant activities of the film were significantly increased with increase in concentration of BOGR as indicated by ABTS and DPPH assays. Our findings indicate that BOGR loaded composite films could be used as an active material for food packaging applications.Öğe Production of edible film from buckwheat starch modified with fatty acids(Adana Alparslan Türkeş Bilim ve Teknoloji Üniversitesi, 2022) Koca, Esra; Aydemir, Levent YurdaerYenilebilir film üretiminde daha çok proteinler, polisakkaritler, lipitler gibi "GRAS" sınıfında bulunan gıda polimerleri ve bu polimerlerin oluşturduğu filmlerin esnekliğini artırmak için çeşitli plastikleştiriciler kullanılır. Polisakkaritler arasında, ekonomik olması nedeniyle nişasta öne çıkmaktadır. Ancak nişasta tabanlı filmler genellikle higroskopiktir ve bu nedenle zayıf bariyer ve mekanik özelliklere sahiptir. Bu özelliklerini geliştirmek için nişastanın çapraz bağlanması veya nişastanın diğer doğal polimerlerle kompleks oluşturması gibi uygulamalar gerçekleştirilebilir. Bu çalışmada, karabuğday nişastası ve farklı yağ asitleri kullanılarak olluşturulmuş amiloz-lipid komplekslerinden film üretim parametreler optimize edilmiştir. Amiloz-lipid kompleks oluşumunda yağ asidi olarak kaprik asit ve miristik asit, film çözeltisinde plastikleştirici olarak sorbitol kullanılmıştır. Optimizasyondan sonra en iyi mekanik dayanıma sahip filmler fiziksel, bariyer, optik, özellikler açısından karakterize edilmiştir. Karabuğdaay nişastası ve amiloz-lipid kompleksi filmlerinin üretiminde önem taşıyan üç farklı parametre (sorbitol konsantrasyonu, pH ve film hazırlama çözeltisinin sıcaklığı) optimize edilerek en iyi mekanik dayanıma sahip filmlerin elde edileceği koşullar belirlenmiştir. Karabuğday nişastası filmlerine kıyasla, amiloz-lipid kompleksi (ALC) filmlerinin daha elastik olduğu ancak daha düşük gerilme mukavemetine sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Optimize edilmiş filmlerin fiziksel, mekanik, optik ve bariyer özellikleri araştırıldı. Doğal karbuğday nişasta, kaprik asitle modifiye edilmiş nişasta ve miristik asit ile modifiye edilmiş nişasta filmlerinin gerilme dirençleri sırasıyla 0.339, 0.139 , 0.08 MPa, uzama değerleri 45.62, 99.44 127.94 % ve elastic modülleri 0.062, 0.051, 0.0015 MPa olarak bulunmuştur. Filmler su buharı geçirgenliği, suda çözünürlük ve nem içeriği açısından değerlendirildiğinde, BS ve ALC filmlerinin suda çözünürlükleri ve nem içerikleri birbirlerinden önemli ölçüde farklı değilken, filmlerin su buharı geçirgenlikleri sırasıyla 0.312, 0.147, 0.196 g mm/ m2 h kPa olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, modifiye filmlerin gerilme direnci, elastik modül, su buharı geçirgenlikleri, doğal karabuğday nişasta filmlerinden daha düşük, uzama değeri ise daha yüksek bulunmuştur.Öğe Structural, mechanical, barrier and antioxidant properties of pectin and xanthan gum edible films loaded with grapefruit essential oil(Cell Press, 2024) Bhatia, Saurabh; Al-Harrasi, Ahmed; Shah, Yasir Abbas; Alrasbi, Aaisha Naseer Saif; Jawad, Muhammad; Koca, Esra; Aydemir, Levent YurdaerThis research focused on the development of films based on pectin and xanthan gum composite loaded with different concentrations of grapefruit essential oil (GFO). The fabricated films were characterized to assess the effect of GFO on the structural, mechanical, barrier, chemical, and antioxidant properties. The addition of GFO enhanced the functional properties of the films, as confirmed by FTIR analysis showing molecular interactions within the film matrix. SEM observations revealed that films with higher GFO content had a smoother, more compact structure with uniform oil distribution. Films loaded with oil demonstrated enhanced water resistance, as their decreased permeability ranged from 0.733 +/- 0.009 to 0.561 +/- 0.020 (g mm)/(m2.h.kPa). Additionally, these films showed a notable increase in tensile strength, ranging from 2.91 +/- 0.19 to 8.55 +/- 0.62 MPa. However, the addition of oil led to a reduction in the elongation at break of the films, which decreased from 52.84 +/- 3.41 % to 12.68 +/- 1.52 %, and a decline in transparency from 87.57 +/- 0.65 % to 76.18 +/- 1.12 %. Fabricated films exhibited enhanced antioxidant properties, as evidenced by increased DPPH center dot and ABTS center dot+ radical scavenging activities with the addition of GFO. The findings of the current study suggest that GFO is an effective natural additive for enhancing the physiochemical properties of pectin and xanthan gum -based films, making them more suitable for food packaging applications.Öğe Tuning the structure and physiochemical properties of sodium alginate and chitosan composite films through sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) crosslinking(Elsevier, 2024) Bhatia, Saurabh; Shah, Yasir Abbas; Al-Harrasi, Ahmed; Jawad, Muhammad; Khan, Talha Shireen; Koca, Esra; Aydemir, Levent YurdaerSodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), an inorganic and non-toxic polyphosphate, has potential applications as a crosslinking agent in the fabrication of edible films. This study utilized STPP in the development of sodium alginate-chitosan composite films, with a focus on their suitability for food packaging applications. The results indicate that the incorporation of STPP led to an increase in film thickness (from 0.048 +/- 0.004 to 0.078 +/- 0.008 mm), elongation at break (from 11.50 +/- 1.49 % to 15.88 +/- 2.14 %), water permeation (from 0.364 +/- 0.010 to 0.521 +/- 0.021 gmm/(m 2 h*kPa)), and moisture content (from 25.98 +/- 0.20 % to 28.12 +/- 0.17 %). In contrast, there was a decrease in tensile strength (from 30.23 +/- 2.08 to 25.60 +/- 1.22 MPa) and swelling index (from 752.9 +/- 17.1 to 533.5 +/- 8.9 %). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed the formation of distinctive needle -like microcrystals with the incorporation of STPP. Fourier -transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis indicated intermolecular interactions between STPP and the film -forming biopolymers. The data obtained from Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) demonstrated enhanced thermal stability of STPP-loaded films at elevated temperatures. Furthermore, the films exhibited increased DPPH scavenging activity with the addition of STPP. This study underscores the potential of STPP as a crosslinking agent for the development of composite edible films, suggesting applications in the field of food packaging.Öğe Upgrading the Bioactive Potential of Hazelnut Oil Cake by Aspergillus oryzae under Solid-State Fermentation(Mdpi, 2024) Ozdemir, Melike Beyza; Kilicarslan, Elif; Demir, Hande; Koca, Esra; Salum, Pelin; Berktas, Serap; Cam, MustafaHazelnut oil cake (HOC) has the potential to be bioactive component source. Therefore, HOC was processed with a solid-state fermentation (SSF) by Aspergillus oryzae with two steps optimization: Plackett-Burman and Box-Behnken design. The variables were the initial moisture content (X-1: 30-50%), incubation temperature (X-2: 26-37 degrees C), and time (X-3: 3-5 days), and the response was total peptide content (TPC). The fermented HOC (FHOC) was darker with higher protein, oil, and ash but lower carbohydrate content than HOC. The FHOC had 6.1% more essential amino acid and benzaldehyde comprised 48.8% of determined volatile compounds. Fermentation provided 14 times higher TPC (462.37 mg tryptone/g) and higher phenolic content as 3.5, 48, and 7 times in aqueous, methanolic, and 80% aqueous methanolic extract in FHOC, respectively. FHOC showed higher antioxidant as ABTS(+) (75.61 mu mol Trolox/g), DPPH (14.09 mu mol Trolox/g), and OH (265 mg ascorbic acid/g) radical scavenging, and alpha-glucosidase inhibition, whereas HOC had more angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition. HOC showed better water absorption while FHOC had better oil absorption activity. Both cakes had similar foaming and emulsifying activity; however, FHOC produced more stable foams and emulsions. SSF at lab-scale yielded more bioactive component with better functionality in FHOC.
