Protein-phenolic interactions in lentil and wheat crackers with onion skin phenolics: effects of processing and gastrointestinal digestion.

This study aimed to evaluate the protein-phenolic interaction in functional crackers made of wheat/lentil flour with onion skin phenolics (onion skin powder: OSP, onion skin phenolic extract: OSE, or quercetin: Q) after gastrointestinal digestion. Phenolic/antioxidant recovery in crackers was lower with higher levels of phenolic addition. gastrointestinal digestion procedure was applied for crackers prepared/cooked with onion skin phenolics (functional crackers) or crackers consumed with onion skin phenolics (co-digestion).

Determination of the changes in sunflower oil during frying of leavened doughs using response surface methodology.

In this study, the effect of dough salt content, frying temperature and time on the conjugated diene values, polymer triglyceride content, total polar material content, viscosity, and color values of the sunflower oil during frying of leavened doughs was determined using response surface methodology. Fifty repeated frying operations were applied in the same day at 160-200 °C for 1-5 min and doughs with 0-2% salt content. According to the results of the study, frying temperature, frying time and dough salt content were significantly ( < 0.

Interaction of lentil protein and onion skin phenolics: Effects on functional properties of proteins and in vitro gastrointestinal digestibility.

The effect of protein-phenolic interactions on the functional properties of lentil protein and in vitro gastrointestinal digestibility in different systems (extract solution, protein-phenolic solution, and emulsion) was studied. The presence of phenolic compounds negatively affected the foaming and emulsion properties of lentil protein. During in vitro gastrointestinal digestion, total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant capacity of the samples were decreased with the presence of lentil protein at the initial phase, however, they were found to be the highest in emulsions at the intestinal phase.

Centralization of mammography reporting with mobile trucks: Turkish experience.

Unlabelled: Screening via mammography is a complex process to be implemented.

Objective: To report the initial results and the effectiveness of newly implemented Turkey's population based breast cancer screening program performed for 40-69 years old women; and effectiveness of the newly implemented out-sourcing mobile trucks and national central report center. The study is conducted prospectively in one year (March 2016-March 2017) in all 81 provinces of Turkey.

Initial results of population based cervical cancer screening program using HPV testing in one million Turkish women.

To evaluate the Turkey's nationwide HPV DNA screening program on the basis of first 1 million screened women. Women over age 30 were invited for population based screening via HPV DNA and conventional cytology. Samples were collected by family physicians and the evaluations and reports had been performed in the National Central HPV laboratories.

Survival of gynecological cancers in Turkey: where are we at?

Objective: To investigate the 5-year relative survival rates in gynecological cancers diagnosed and treated in Turkey by year 2009 and to compare the results with developed countries.

Methods: Data of patients diagnosed for ovarian, corpus uteri or cervix uteri cancer at year 2009 are collected from 9 national cancer registry centers. Date of deaths are retracted from governmental Identity Information Sharing System (KPS).

Trends of Gynecological Cancers in Turkey: Toward Europe or Asia?

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate nationwide gynecological cancer trends in Turkey.

Methods: National cancer registry data (2009-2013) of Turkish Ministry of Health were evaluated. Ovarian, cervical, endometrial, vulvar, vaginal, and tubal cancers are evaluated with respect to age of diagnosis, incidence rates within years, stage, histological distributions, and mortality rates.

Trans fatty acids and fatty acid composition of mature breast milk in turkish women and their association with maternal diet's.

The aim of this study was to determine the fatty acid composition and trans fatty acid and fatty acid contents of breast milk in Turkish women and to find the effect of breastfeeding mothers' diet on trans fatty acid and fatty acid composition. Mature milk samples obtained from 50 Turkish nursing women were analyzed. Total milk lipids extracts were transmethylated and analyzed by using gas liquid chromatography to determine fatty acids contents.

Fatty acid, triacylglycerol, phytosterol, and tocopherol variations in kernel oil of Malatya apricots from Turkey.

The fatty acid, sn-2 fatty acid, triacyglycerol (TAG), tocopherol, and phytosterol compositions of kernel oils obtained from nine apricot varieties grown in the Malatya region of Turkey were determined ( P<0.05). The names of the apricot varieties were Alyanak (ALY), Cataloglu (CAT), Cöloglu (COL), Hacihaliloglu (HAC), Hacikiz (HKI), Hasanbey (HSB), Kabaasi (KAB), Soganci (SOG), and Tokaloglu (TOK).
