RESUMO
In this study, the fatty acid, carbohydrate, and mineral profiles and proximate composition of Halopteris scoparia, Padina pavonica, Zanardinia typus, Cladostephus spongiosum, Sargassum vulgare, and Sargassum acinarium brown macroalgae collected from Türkiye seas were determined. According to the results, the ash and total carbohydrate contents of all macroalgae ranged from 20.79 to 53.49% in dry weight (dw) and from 15.32 to 55.13% dw, respectively. Their protein, lipid and crude fiber contents changed between 4.22 and 9.89% dw, 0.25 and 0.90% dw, and 12.28 and 16.01% dw, respectively. Palmitic acid (29.36-48.55% dw) and oleic acid (8.92-20.92% dw) were at the highest levels in all brown macroalgae. In addition, they included prominent levels of saturated fatty acids (51.87-69.56% dw of total fatty acid content). Magnesium (6.97-18.78 mg/kg dw), potassium (1.34-3.78 mg/kg dw), iron (1.27-8.24 mg/kg dw), and manganese (63.10-252.23 µg/kg dw) were found to be the major minerals. The main soluble carbohydrates of macroalgae were found to be mannitol (1149.99-8676.31 mg/kg dw), glucose (368.78-1305.59 mg/kg dw), myo-inositol (225.96-956.78 mg/kg dw), fructose (137.05-689.21 mg/kg dw), and sucrose (189.55-328.06 mg/kg dw). This study revealed that brown macroalgae are particularly rich in potassium, magnesium, iron, manganese, and zinc and they may have potential for use in the food industry.

The effect of roasting on oxidative stability, antioxidant capacity and the content of antioxidant phytochemicals in Pistacia terebinthus oil was investigated. Oils were extracted from P. terebinthus fruits roasted at 180°C for 0-40min. Roasting was found to cause an increase in the passage of phenolic compounds to the oil whereas the level of tocopherols, lutein and ß-carotene was decreased. Antioxidant capacity and oxidative stability of P. terebinthus oil increased with roasting. As an indicator of the presence of Maillard reaction products in oil, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) level and colour intensity was measured and found to increase with increasing roasting time. Fatty acid composition was not affected significantly by roasting.
RESUMO
In this study, lipid oxidation evaluation methods were compared for a krill-oil-in-water emulsion system. With this aim, thiocyanate and DPPP (diphenyl-1-pyrenylphosphine) fluorescence methods were comparatively examined to determine primary oxidation products. 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), hexanal and propanal formation were also monitored as secondary oxidations products. All oxidation experiments were performed via both auto-oxidation at 45 °C and light-riboflavin induced photooxidation at 37 °C. The results have shown that thiocyanate method was not suitable to measure lipid hydroperoxides by the both in auto- and photo-oxidation systems. On the other hand, fluorescence intensity of samples containing the DPPP probe increased during incubation period which indicates the formation of lipid hydroperoxides could be detected via this method. TBARS, hexanal and propanal concentrations also increased during storage period and the formation kinetics of secondary oxidation products was confirmed that the DPPP fluorescence method was accurate and reliable at different environmental conditions.

In this study, the effect of refining process on the content of phytochemicals, antioxidant capacity and oxidative stability of hazelnut oil was investigated. The oil samples were taken at the consecutive steps of hazelnut refining process and analyzed for some compositional properties along with the antioxidant capacity and oxidative stability. The results have shown that, carotenoid content of the hazelnut oil was decreased during the refining process. The main carotenoids of hazelnut oil were found to be lutein and zeaxanthin and these compounds were lost completely during bleaching step of the refining. On the other hand, phenolic compounds and tocopherols were also partly removed from hazelnut oil to a degree. Loses in antioxidant compounds caused a clear decrease in antioxidant capacity measured in either the oils or polar extract of oils. Oxidative stability of the oil samples was measured by Rancimat method and it was found that neutralization caused an increase in oxidative stability compared to the crude oil. However, deodorization step caused a slight decrease in oxidative stability probably as a result of partial removal of tocopherols at this stage.

Antioxidant efficiency of thymol and carvacrol in walnut oil triacylglycerols (WO-TAGs) was investigated. WO-TAGs alone or fortified with thymol/carvacrol were emulsified with sodium caseinate-lactose mixture. Oxidative stability of freeze dried emulsions was assessed via Rancimat and accelerated oven tests. Bulk WO-TAGs with and without thymol/carvacrol were also tested for comparison. Higher induction periods (IPs) were recorded for encapsulated and antioxidant fortified WO-TAGs compared to non-encapsulated and non-fortified counterparts. IP of thymol included and encapsulated WO-TAGs were found to be 1.5-2 fold higher than that of carvacrol at all concentrations (0.05-0.20%). IP of WO-TAGs was increased dose-dependent manner in the case of thymol and the highest protection was obtained with 0.20% thymol concentration (pâ¯<â¯0.05). Peroxide formation in bulk WO-TAGs fortified with carvacrol showed a slightly higher oxidative stability compared to thymol after 24â¯d of storage whereas thymol was a bit more effective in encapsulated WO-TAGs.

This study was carried out to understand the preventive effect of selenium (Se4+) on heavy metal stress induced by lead and copper in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Variation in glutathione peroxidase (Se-GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and in malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in liver, spleen, heart, and brain tissues of rainbow trout after 72 h of exposure to Pb2+ and Cu2+ were investigated in the presence and absence of Se4+. In the presence of Se4+, Se-GSH-Px activity and SOD activity were found to be higher and MDA levels were lower compared with in its absence. Hematological parameters were also determined and it has been observed that total leukocyte count (WBC), mean cell volume (MCV), and mean cell hemoglobin (MCH) were increased and erythrocyte number (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb), and hematocrit value (Hct; P < 0.05) were decreased in fish exposed to heavy metals in the absence of selenium. Selenium presence recovered hematological parameters to normal levels. In the light of our findings, it could be stated that Pb2+ and Cu2+ lead to dramatic changes in biochemical and hematological parameters and selenium caused these parameters to converge to control levels when it was administered concurrently with these heavy metals.

Propolis samples from important honey producing locations of Anatolia namely; Bingol (BG), Rize (RZ), Tekirdag (TK) and Van (VN), were evaluated for their antiradical capacities, total phenolic contents and individual phenolic compounds which was recovered by means of pressurized liquid extraction (PLE). Several extraction parameters of PLE such as; temperature, pressure, solvent type, extraction time and cell size were investigated for their effects on the extraction performances. The results showed that, 40 °C, 1500 psi, Ethanol:water:HCl; (70:25:5, v/v/v) containing 0.1% tert-butylhydroquinone (tBHQ) as solvent, three extraction cycles within 15 min, and a cell size of 11 mL was the most favorable PLE operating conditions. Results of the tests performed to designate the success of the polyphenol analysis showed that the recovery was in the range of 97.2% and 99.7%. Major phenolic compounds in all samples were found to be gallocatechin (GCT), catechin (CT), epicatechin gallate (ECTG), caffeic acid (CA), chlorogenic acid (ChA), and myricetin (Myr). ChA level of BG propolis was 4.5, 3 and 23 times higher than that of RZ, TK and VN region, respectively. Antiradical tests showed that all propolis samples have superior antiradical capacities up to 500 mg Trolox equivalent activity per gram of extract.

With the aim of determining the fatty acid (FA) selectivity of lipases, a mixture of oleic acid and monoacid triacylglycerols (TAGs) including tricaproin (T6), tricaprylin (T8), tricaprin (T10), trilaurin (T12), trimyristin (T14), tripalmitin (T16) and tristearin (T18) was used as the substrate in acidolysis performed in hexane. Three immobilized lipases, namely, Lipozyme TL IM from Thermomyces lanoginosus, Lipozyme RM IM from Rhizomucor miehei and Novozym 435 from Candida antarctica, were used as biocatalyst. The effects of operating variables including the mole ratio of oleic acid to monoacid TAG, temperature, enzyme dosage and reaction time on incorporation were also investigated. Significantly different incorporation rates were obtained for different TAGs used (P < 0.05). Incorporation of oleic acid into TAGs except tricaproin and tricaprylin was higher for all the TAGs with Lipozyme TL IM catalyzed reactions than those of other two enzymes tested. Incorporation of oleic acid decreased as the acyl chain length of FA in the TAG increased with Novozyme 435 catalyzed acidolysis. Compared to the other substrate mixtures, the highest incorporation was observed for oleic acid and tricaproin mixture with three lipases tested. It was shown that the FA selectivity of the lipases is strongly dependent on the acyl chain length of FA in a TAG.

The chain length selectivity of three immobilized lipases, namely, Lipozyme TL IM from Thermomyces lanoginosus, Lipozyme RM IM from Rhizomucor miehei, and Novozym 435 from Candida antarctica, was determined in acidolysis performed in hexane using the homologous series of even carbon number, saturated fatty acids (SFAs) of 6-22 carbons. Triolein with individual SFAs or a mixture of equimolar quantities of SFAs was used as the substrate. The effects of operating variables including the mole ratio of fatty acid to triolein, temperature, enzyme dosage, and time on incorporation were also investigated. Incorporation abilities of the enzymes tested were found to be significantly different for most of FAs at the experimental conditions evaluated. Lipases acted weakly on SFAs of which the carbon chain length was shorter than eight carbon atoms and higher than 18 carbon atoms. Lipases showed a bell-shaped distribution in incorporation vs chain length plot with a maximum around C12-C16. Among the experimental parameters tested, the effect of the substrate mole ratio was greater than those of the others, and the highest incorporation was observed for C12 (36.98%), C14 (37.63%), and C16 (38.66%) at a 4:1 substrate mole ratio with Lipozyme TL IM. Lipases caused significantly different levels of acyl migration from sn-1,3 to sn-2 positions.
