Öğe Functionality modulation of starch from lotus rhizome using single and dual physical modification(Elsevier, 2024) Dhull, Sanju Bala; Antika, Chandak; Gökşen, Gülden; Chawla, Prince; Al Obaid, Sami; Ansari, Mohammad JavedThe effects of ultrasonication (US) assisted by pre- and post-treatment of heat-moisture treatment (HMT) on physicochemical, rheological, pasting, digestive, and thermal properties of lotus rhizome (LR) starch were investigated in this study. All treatments decreased the swelling power, amylose content, and peak viscosity except for the ultrasonicated sample when compared with native LR starch. All treatments showed similar diffraction patterns with different intensities. FTIR spectra characteristic peaks did not emerge or disappear after single and dual modifications. Storage modulus (G′) is greater than loss modulus (G″) for all LR starch gel samples demonstrating their elastic character. Moreover, ΔHgel (253.1–303.7 J/g) increased in all treatments. Dual modification (HMT & US) significantly enhanced resistant starch and reduced SDS in LR starches. These results could be beneficial for promoting ultrasound processing for potential uses in the food industry and starch production.Öğe A review of valorization of agricultural waste for the synthesis of cellulose membranes: Separation of organic, inorganic, and microbial pollutants(Elsevier, 2024) Sharma, Madhu; Bains, Aarti; Dhull, Sanju Bala; Ali, Nemat; Rashid, Summya; Elossaily, Gehan M.; Chawla, Prince; Gökşen, GüldenAgricultural waste presents a significant environmental challenge due to improper disposal and management practices, contributing to soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and pollution of water and air resources. To address these issues, there is a growing emphasis on the valorization of agricultural waste. Cellulose, a major component of agricultural waste, offers promising opportunities for resource utilization due to its unique properties, including biodegradability, biocompatibility, and renewability. Thus, this review explored various types of agricultural waste, their chemical composition, and pretreatment methods for cellulose extraction. It also highlights the significance of rice straw, sugarcane bagasse, and other agricultural residues as cellulose-rich resources. Among the various membrane fabrication techniques, phase inversion is highly effective for creating porous membranes with controlled thickness and uniformity, while electrospinning produces nanofibrous membranes with high surface area and exceptional mechanical properties. The review further explores the separation of pollutants including using cellulose membranes, demonstrating their potential in environmental remediation. Hence, by valorizing agricultural residues into functional materials, this approach addresses the challenge of agricultural waste management and contributes to the development of innovative solutions for pollution control and water treatment.Öğe Impact of conjugation of whey protein concentrate with different carbohydrates: Monitoring structural and technofunctional variations(Elsevier, 2024) Dıblan, Sevgin; Salum, Pelin; Ulusal, Fatma; Erbay, ZaferThis study utilized whey protein concentrate (WPC) as the primary protein source, employing the Maillard reaction to link it with three distinct carbohydrates: lactose, maltodextrin, and gum Arabic. Mixtures were prepared with a 1:4 protein-to-carbohydrate ratio, and conjugation was performed using dry heating at a temperature of 60 degrees C, 50% relative humidity for 8 h processing time. Under the same conditions, native WPC was heated as a control group. The formation of conjugates was tracked by monitoring absorbance changes, browning index (BI), and reduction in free amino groups (FAG). All conjugates exhibited significant loss of FAG, correlating with an increase in BI. Shifts in protein fingerprint bands observed via Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy suggested potential protein-carbohydrate interactions, while X-ray diffraction showed increased sample crystallinity post-conjugation. Solubility assessments across pH levels (3.0-8.0) indicated a 10-13% rise in solubility for conjugated samples compared to mixtures, broadening their potential applications. Moreover, the emulsion stability index demonstrated improved stability after conjugation. Overall, the Maillard reaction-mediated conjugation enhanced the solubility and stability of emulsions.Öğe Electrospun nanofiber mats caged the mammalian macrophages on their surfaces and prevented their inflammatory responses independent of the fiber diameter(Nature Portfolio, 2024) Ayaz, Furkan; Demir, Didem; Bölgen, NimetPoly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) has been widely used as biocompatible materials in tissue engineering. They have been used in mammalian cell proliferation to polarization and differentiation. Their modified versions had regulatory activities on mammalian macrophages in vitro. There are also studies suggesting different nanofiber diameters might alter the biological activities of these materials. Based on these cues, we examined the inflammatory activities and adherence properties of mammalian macrophages on electrospun PCL nanofibrous scaffolds formed with PCL having different nanofiber diameters. Our results suggest that macrophages could easily attach and get dispersed on the scaffolds. Macrophages lost their inflammatory cytokine TNF and IL6 production capacity in the presence of LPS when they were incubated on nanofibers. These effects were independent of the mean fiber diameters. Overall, the scaffolds have potential to be used as biocompatible materials to suppress excessive inflammatory reactions during tissue and organ transplantation by caging and suppressing the inflammatory cells.Öğe Exploration of Calocybe indica mushroom phenolic acid-kidney bean protein complex: Functional properties, amino acid profiles, in-vitro digestibility, and application in vegan product development(Elsevier, 2024) Patil, Nikhil Dnyaneshwar; Thakur, Sweezee; Bains, Aarti; Kaur, Sawinder; Ali, Nemat; Arora, Rahul; Parvez, Mohammad Khalid; Gökşen, Gülden; Janghu, Sandeep; Chawla, PrinceThe study evaluates the interaction between Calocybe indica mushroom polyphenols (phenolic acid) and kidney bean protein (KBPM), aiming to enhance vegan food quality. The mushrooms exhibited a carbohydrate content of 3.65%, an antioxidant activity of 55.04 ± 0.17%, and a phenolic content of 4.86 mg GAE/g. Caffeic and cinnamic acids were identified through high-pressure liquid chromatography. Various concentrations of KBPM were tested at phenolic acid concentrations of 0.025, 0.050, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, and 1%, among these, KBPM 0.2 demonstrated the highest binding efficiency of 99.40 ± 0.05%. Notably, this complex improved the protein's functional properties, such as solubility by 11.43%, water and oil holding capacities by 10.62% and 22.04%, and emulsion capacity and stability by 3.69% and 5.83%, respectively, compared to the native protein. The protein-phenolic acid complex also enhanced thermal stability, surface charge, amino acid content, and reduced particle size compared to native protein. These enhancements also improved protein digestibility and sensory attributes in a fruit-based smoothie.Öğe Effect of process parameters on the rheological properties of banana (Musa acuminata) fiber and optimization using response surface methodology(Elsevier, 2024) Pandey, Shubham; Naik R.K.; Pandey, Vinay Kumar; Srivastava, Shivangi; Pandey, Shivam; Rustagi, Sarvesh; Gökşen, GüldenThe labor-intensive, time-consuming, and uneconomical nature of manually extracting banana (Musa acuminata) fibers from pseudo-stem sheaths has prompted the exploration of automation as a solution. This study focuses on automating the feeding process of banana pseudostem sheaths using a quick return mechanism, which is more effective than other approaches. A comprehensive study was conducted to assess the impact of key process parameters, namely the decorticator (480–540 rpm), roller speed (50–80 rpm), and clearance between rollers (2–4 mm), on the mechanical properties of the extracted banana fiber. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was employed for the experimental design and analysis of data, and the mechanical properties under investigation included the tensile strength, Young's modulus, and strain percentage of the banana fiber. The results revealed that the decorticator speed, roller speed, and clearance between rollers are significantly influenced by their mechanical properties. Herein, the optimal process parameter values are identified as follows: a decorticator speed of 510 rpm, roller speed of 65 rpm, and clearance of 3 mm between rollers. The mechanical characterization of the optimized banana fiber exhibited impressive properties, with an ultimate tensile strength of 679.48 MPa, Young's modulus of 25.47 GPa, and strain of 3 %. This study demonstrates that automation coupled with systematic parameter optimization can enhance the mechanical attributes of banana fibers. This research not only addresses the challenges of manual extraction, but also advances the understanding of how process parameters affect banana fiber quality, thereby facilitating the utilization of this natural fiber in various industrial applications.
