Effect of oleaster ( L.) flour addition combined with high-pressure homogenization on the acidification kinetics, physicochemical, functional, and rheological properties of kefir.

In this study, the effects of peeled oleaster flour (OF) addition (0.5% and 1%) with high-pressure homogenization (HPH) at 100 MPa on acidification kinetics, physicochemical, functional, and rheological properties of kefir made from bovine whole milk were investigated. The fermentation kinetic parameters such as and decreased by 23.

Influence of pH and ionic strength on the bulk and interfacial rheology and technofunctional properties of hazelnut meal protein isolate.

The functional, bulk, and interfacial shear rheological properties of hazelnut protein isolate were studied at different pH values between 3.0 and 8.0 and ionic strength levels between 0.

Structural Characterization, Technofunctional and Rheological Properties of Sesame Proteins Treated by High-Intensity Ultrasound.

Plant-derived proteins, such as those from sesame seeds, have the potential to be used as versatile food ingredients. End-use functionality can be further improved by high-intensity ultrasound treatments. The effects of high-intensity ultrasound on the properties of sesame protein isolates from cold-pressed sesame cake were evaluated.

Characterization and Selection of Potential Antifungal Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated From Turkish Spontaneous Sourdough.

The aim of this research was to investigate the antifungal potential of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from Turkish spontaneous sourdough collected in summer and winter seasons from 25 different small bakeries in Trabzon, Giresun, Ordu, and Samsun. Lactic acid bacteria (933 isolates) were screened for inhibition of three common food spoilage molds (Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, and Penicillium expansum). Eight LAB isolates identified as Weissella cibaria 908, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp.

Potential Use of High Pressure Homogenized Hazelnut Beverage for a Functional Yoghurt-Like Product.

Hazelnut beverage is a plant-based beverage produced from hazelnut cake as a by-product obtained after cold press extraction. It has high nutritional value and a significant percentage of consumers show interest in it due to its health benefits. In this study, hazelnut beverage manufactured from by-products of hazelnut oil industry was incorporated into functional yoghurt production.

Storage stability and sourdough acidification kinetic of freeze-dried Lactobacillus curvatus N19 under optimized cryoprotectant formulation.

In this study, the response surface methodology was used to optimize the cryoprotective agent (skimmed milk powder, lactose and sucrose) formulation for enhancing the viability of Lactobacillus curvatus N19 during freeze-drying and storage stability of cells freeze-dried by using optimum formulation was evaluated. Our results showed that the most significant cryoprotective agent influencing the viability of L. curvatus N19 to freezing and freeze-drying was sucrose and skim milk, respectively.

Effect of different encapsulating agent combinations on viability of Shirota during storage, in simulated gastrointestinal conditions and dairy dessert.

In this study, the effects of various matrices consisting of maltodextrin and reconstitute skim milk and their binary and ternary mixtures with gum Arabic in the microencapsulation of Shirota by freeze-drying technique were assessed. Microcapsules produced with reconstitute skim milk showed high viability (>99%) after freeze drying. While the free cells were completely inactivated after exposure to simulated gastrointestinal conditions, the survival rates of microencapsulated Shirota were found high for all microcapsules except for maltodextrin and maltodextrin:gum Arabic formulas.

Influence of thermosonication (TS) process on the quality parameters of high pressure homogenized hazelnut milk from hazelnut oil by-products.

Hazelnut, an important source of nutrition, is reasonably expensive for hazelnut milk production. Hazelnut cake, a by-product from hazelnut oil production by cold press extraction technique, does not contain any chemical residue and can be used for hazelnut beverage production. This study investigates the effects of thermosonication process on the quality parameters of hazelnut milks and also compares the observed results with the conventional thermal process.
