Formation of heterocyclic aromatic amines in doner kebab cooked with different methods at varying degrees of doneness.

This study was designed to determine the formation of heterocyclic aromatic amines (HCAs) in two different types of doner kebab (yaprak doner-YD or mix doner-MD) cooked with different cooking methods (gas or electric) at varying degrees of doneness (rare, medium, well-done). In doner samples, nine common HCAs (IQ, IQx, MeIQ, MeIQx, PhIP, 4,8-DiMeIQx, 7,8-DiMeIQx, AαC, MeAαC) were detected. Additionally, the changes in the HCA precursors were evaluated.

Microwave thawing and green tea extract efficiency for the formation of acrylamide throughout the production process of chicken burgers and chicken nuggets.

Background: Initially, we measured the acrylamide (AA) levels of chicken burgers (CBs) and chicken nuggets (CNs) purchased from fast food restaurants. After the determination of AA in these products, we aimed to investigate whether the use of green tea extract in the covering material, and microwave thawing before frying, mitigated the formation of AA in CBs and CNs during the production process.

Results: According to our study, AA concentrations of CBs and CNs purchased from fast food restaurants were in the range of 13.

The Comparative Effect of Carrot and Lemon Fiber as a Fat Replacer on Physico-chemical, Textural, and Organoleptic Quality of Low-fat Beef Hamburger.

This study was designed to determine the usability of lemon fiber (LF-2%, 4%, 6%) and carrot fiber (CF-2%, 4%, 6%) to produce low-fat beef hamburgers. To that end, a certain amount of fat was replaced with each fiber. The proximate composition, pH value, cholesterol content, cooking characteristics, color, texture profile, and sensory properties of low-fat beef hamburgers were investigated.

Lipolytic Changes in Fermented Sausages Produced with Turkey Meat: Effects of Starter Culture and Heat Treatment.

In this study, the effects of two different commercial starter culture mixes and processing methodologies (traditional and heat process) on the lipolytic changes of fermented sausages manufactured with turkey meat were evaluated during processing stages and storage. Free fatty acid (FFA) value increased with fermentation and during storage over 120 d in all fermented sausage groups produced with both processing methodologies (p<0.05).

The effects of tumbling and sodium tripolyphosphate on the proteins of döner.

This study was designed to investigate the influence of tumbling and sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) with marination on the protein structure of raw and cooked döner, a traditional Middle East product consumed widely in many areas of the world. Proximate composition (%moisture, %protein, %fat, %ash, and pH value), salt soluble protein (SSP) and total α-amino grup amount were determined. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was used to investigate alterations in the sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins.
