RESUMO

This study was aimed to produce of hawthorn vinegar to increase the usage area and consumability of the hawthorn fruit and benefit from its functional properties, and to reveal some bioactive compounds, occurred during vinegar production, the functional properties and the volatile compounds (VC). The results showed that the gallic acid was a prominent phenolic substance in both wine and vinegar, followed by the chlorogenic acid. The prominent VACs of the hawthorn vinegar were acetic acid, phenylacetic acid, acetoin, then, respectively, pentanoic acid, benzoic acid, (E)-isoeugenol, 2-cyclohexenone, propanoic acid, chavicol, and diethyl succinate. Within this study, hawthorn vinegar was produced as a new product that had a favorable volatile aroma compound profile and phenolic compounds with high bioactivity. Hawthorn vinegar that shown as an alternative way for the use of hawthorn fruit, its of whose functional and aromatic aspect was first revealed in detail. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Hawthorn is a seasonal fruit, which has potential to be economically important. It has rich bioactive compounds known to have a positive effect on health. However, organoleptic properties (astringent, grainy texture, etc.) of fresh hawthorn fruit are not be mostly liked among most of the consumers. This situation prevents benefiting from the positive effect of hawthorn fruit. For this reason, in this study, it was aimed to produce the hawthorn vinegar, which economically more valuable and also, more functional than fresh hawthorn fruit. According to the results of the present study, organoleptic, functional, and economic values of the hawthorn fruit were improved with the hawthorn vinegar produced in result of the fermentation process. So, it has been considered that this study is beneficial for consumers, scientist or food industry professionals as it guides to transform a low-economic food product to highly economic and functional food product.

RESUMO

An arginine-glucose mixture (1:2 mol ratio) with pH 9 was heated at 53-100 °C for 10-350 min, and the effects of process parameters were determined during the Maillard reaction (MR). The heating temperature and time were selected as process conditions and were studied with central composite design. The model system was tested based on the values obtained from antioxidant capacity, browning intensity, pH, acrylamide (AC), and hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) concentrations. Higher temperatures and longer time resulted in higher antioxidant capacity and browning intensity while lowering the pH values. HMF concentration of MR products was found higher in lower temperatures with longer processing time, whereas AC concentration was found higher in high temperatures.

RESUMO

In this study, it was aimed to determine the bioactive compounds and volatile aroma compounds of the sour cherry vinegar, and to investigate the usability of concentrated juice instead of the fresh fruit juice in vinegar production. And, two sour cherry vinegars were produced using juices prepareted fresh fruit (FSCJ) and concentrate juice (CSCJ), analyzed for functional and organoleptic aspects. The finding shown that both vinegars produced have rich functional compounds (gallic and chlorogenic acids) and volatile aroma compounds, and sour cherry is ideal for vinegar production. However, the vinegar produced using the CSCJ was more prominent, according to aromatic aspect. These aroma compounds were 3-methyl-1-butanol and eugenol, phenethyl alcohol, 2-phenethyl acetate, acetic, isobutyric, isovaleric, hexanoic and octanoic acids. Within this study, a new way for sour cherry usage, independently of the season were proposed. And, aromatic and functional aspects of sour cherry vinegar were revealed for the first time.

RESUMO

The protective effects of Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (CAPE) and intralipid (IL) on nephrotoxicity caused by acute Dichlorvos (D) toxicity were investigated in this study. Forty-eight Wistar Albino rats were divided into 7 groups as follows: Control, D, CAPE, intralipid, D + CAPE, D + IL, and D + CAPE + IL. When compared to D group, the oxidative stress index (OSI) values were significantly lower in Control, CAPE, and D + IL + CAPE groups. When compared to D + IL + CAPE group, the TOS and OSI values were significantly higher in D group (P < 0.05). When mitotic cell counts were assessed in the renal tissues, it was found that mitotic cell count was significantly higher in the D group while it was lower in the D + CAPE, D + IL, and D + IL + CAPE groups when compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Also, immune reactivity showed increased apoptosis in D group and low profile of apoptosis in the D + CAPE group when compared to the Control group. The apoptosis level was significantly lower in D + IL + CAPE compared to D group (P < 0.05) in the kidneys. As a result, we concluded that Dichlorvos can be used either alone or in combination with CAPE and IL as supportive therapy or as facilitator for the therapeutic effect of the routine treatment in the patients presenting with pesticide poisoning.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The most important complication encountered in patients with b-thalassaemia major is degenerative fibrosis developing as a result of iron accumulation in myocardial tissue. Dysfunction pursues this accumulation. Recently, presence of fragmented QRS (fQRS) in ECG has been regarded as a predictor of myocardial fibrosis. We aimed in our study to investigate the frequency with which fQRS develops in patients with b-thalassaemia major and to disclose the correlation between fQRS frequency and Doppler-derived indices. METHODS: The patients with b-thalassaemia major (n=66; mean age: 23±6 years) and healthy controls (n=30; mean age: 23±4 years) were included. fQRS pattern was described as presence of RSR' manifested as existence of additional R wave and notching in either R or S waves in ECG recordings. 2D, M-mode, conventional Doppler, tissue Doppler echocardiography parameters were assessed. Mean serum ferritin levels over past 5 years were also calculated. RESULTS: When compared to those in control group, fQRS was more frequent in b-thalassaemia major group, indicating statistical significance (p = 0.001). While E/Em and ferritin level exhibited statistically significant increase in thalassaemia patients with fQRS (p < 0.05), the mean Em and Sm values were found to be significantly low (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: fQRS was frequently observed in the patients with b-thalassaemia major, which was of statistical significance. Tissue Doppler-derived diastolic and systolic indices in thalassaemia cases with fQRS showed statistically significant impairment compared to those without fQRS. In conclusion, fQRS may represent a novel noninvasive marker for cardiac involvement in patients with b-thalassaemia major.

RESUMO

Kefir is a functional dairy product and the effects of kefir consumption on health have been well documented. Kefir grains have naturally high numbers of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts and are used in manufacturing kefir. The biomass of kefir grains slowly increases after successive fermentations. The effects of adding whey protein isolate, modified whey protein (MWP, fat replacer; Carbery Inc., Cork, Ireland), or inulin to milk and different atmospheric conditions (ambient or 6% CO(2)) during fermentation on the increase in biomass of kefir grains were investigated. Reconstituted milks (10% milk powder) enriched with whey protein isolate (2%), MWP (2%), and inulin (2%) were inoculated with kefir grains and fermented in ambient and 6% CO(2) incubators at 25°C until a final pH of 4.6 was reached. Biomass increments of kefir grains were determined weekly over 30 d. Lactic acid bacteria and yeast contents of kefir grains were also determined. The highest biomass increase (392%) was found in kefir grains grown in milk supplemented with whey protein isolate under ambient atmospheric conditions. Application of CO(2) did not provide a significant supporting effect on the biomass of kefir grains. Addition of MWP significantly accelerated the formation of kefir grain biomass (223%). The use of whey protein isolate, MWP, or inulin in milk did not cause any adverse effects on the microbial flora of kefir grains.
