Article Synopsis
- - A fermented beverage enriched with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) was developed using pectin from pomegranate peels and hydrolysates derived from them, targeting their prebiotic properties.
- - Pectin was extracted from pomegranate peels, yielding 8.91%, and various enzyme concentrations and hydrolysis times were tested, leading to notable variations in the degree of esterification of the resulting hydrolysates.
- - The hydrolysate that had high glucose content was applied to carrot juice fermentation, resulting in increased GABA levels and positive effects on total phenolic content and antioxidant activity, confirming the potential of pectin hydrolysate as a prebiotic in functional beverages.
The aim of this study was to evaluate drought tolerance and genetic relationships among some important chestnut cultivars for Türkiye by using drought-related genomic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and genic expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers. Using five SSR markers, the average number of alleles (avNa), mean heterozygosity (H) and polymorphism information content (PIC) were determined to be 9.22, 0.

Methods And Results: In this study, a total of 19 iPBS markers were used to determine the genetic relationships among 11 chestnut cultivars (Castanea sativa Mill.).
