Bu çalışma, farklı miristik asit konsantrasyonları ve farklı reaksiyon sıcaklıkları kullanılarak üretilen karabuğday nişastası-miristik asit kompleksi örneklerinin sindirilebilirlik özellikleri üzerine farklı reaksiyon koşullarının etkisini araştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Reaksiyon sıcaklığının (60-90°C) ve yağ asidi konsantrasyonlarının (0.1-0.8 mmoL/g) sindirilebilirlik özellikleri üzerindeki etkisini araştırmak için Yanıt Yüzey Metodolojisi kullanılmıştır. Örneklerin enzime dirençli nişasta (EDN) içerikleri reaksiyon sıcaklığındaki artışla artmıştır. Reaksiyon sıcaklığı, örneklerin hızlı ve yavaş sindirilebilir nişasta içeriklerini etkilemiştir. En yüksek EDN içeriği (%32.57) 90°C'de 0.45 mmoL/g miristik asit kullanılarak üretilen örnekte elde edilmiştir. F, p (<0.05) ve R2 değerleri seçilen modellerin numunelerin sindirilebilirlik özellikleri için önemli olduğunu göstermiştir. Karabuğday nişastasının miristik asit ile kompleks oluşturması, EDN içeriğini artırma konusunda umut verici görünmektedir. Karabuğday, çalışmalar henüz oldukça yeni olmasına rağmen, EDN kaynağı olarak önemli bir potansiyele sahip görünmektedir.

(Springer, 2020) Severcan, Solmaz Sebnem; Uzal, Nigmet; Kahraman, Kevser; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 02.07. Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği; 02. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 10. Rektörlük; 02.03. İnşaat Mühendisliği
To enhance anti-fouling properties of polymeric membranes during apple juice clarification, PSF/PEI (20/2 wt%) ultrafiltration (UF) membranes were modified with TiO2 and Al2O3 nanoparticles using the phase inversion method. Turbid apple juice samples were clarified using cross-flow membrane filtration system. All fabricated nanocomposite UF membranes had higher apple juice flux values than PSF/PEI membrane. Membrane prepared with 0.01% TiO2 (UFT1) had the highest apple juice flux (at steady state, 44.6 L/m(2)h). The FRR (%) value of TiO2 and Al2O3 incorporated UF membranes was between 90.9-94.0% and 79.6-97.6%, respectively, and these FRR values were higher than that of PSF/PEI membrane (UF2, 60.3%). Porosity and hydrophilicity of the UF membranes significantly increased with the addition of nanoparticles and the highest porosity and hydrophilicity was achieved in the 0.01% TiO2 incorporated UF membrane (UFT1) membrane. Higher flux recovery ratio (FRR) and lower relative flux reduction (RFR) values of Al2O3 and TiO2 incorporated nanocomposite membranes, compared with the unmodified membrane, demonstrated the enhancement in the anti-fouling properties of the PSF/PEI membrane. SEM images of the nanocomposite membranes also proved the nanoparticle incorporation to the PSF/PEI matrix. Color, turbidity, total soluble solid, total phenolic content, and antioxidant capacity of the samples using nanocomposite membranes were better than that of clarified using both commercial and unmodified membranes. TiO2 incorporated nanocomposite membranes had superior performance than Al2O3 incorporated nanocomposite membranes and among these membranes, the ones prepared with the addition of 0.01 wt% TiO2 exhibit the best performance in terms of clarification of apple juice.

Clarification of Pomegranate Juice Using PSF Microfiltration Membranes Fabricated With Nano TiO2and Al2O3
(Wiley, 2020) Severcan, Solmaz Sebnem; Uzal, Nigmet; Kahraman, Kevser; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 02.07. Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği; 02. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 10. Rektörlük; 02.03. İnşaat Mühendisliği
Microfiltration (MF) membranes were fabricated using PSF/PEI (17/2 wt%) with TiO(2)and Al(2)O(3)nanoparticles to enhance pomegranate juice clarification performance. The membrane performances were tested using dead-end filtration system. Membranes were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), porosity, water contact angle, and pure water flux experiments. All MF membranes had higher porosity, pure water flux, and hydrophilicity.SEMimages of the membranes proved the nanoparticle incorporation to the PSF/PEI matrix. The quality of clarified pomegranate juice samples using PSF/PEI nanocomposite membranes were better than that of clarified using both commercial and unmodified membranes. The highest performance for the clarification of pomegranate juice samples was obtained for 0.05% of Al(2)O(3)incorporated PSF/PEI membranes with the highest color (5,781 +/- 4 PtCo), total soluble solid (16.2 +/- 0.0 Brix), total phenolic content (2,642.1 +/- 46.4 mg GAE/L), antioxidant activity (ABTS: 62.4 +/- 0.2 TEAC/L, DPPH: 41.3 +/- 0.0 TEAC/L) and total monomeric anthocyanin (100.7 +/- 1.7 mg/L). Practical applications Utilization of membrane technology in food industry has been increased rapidly in the past two decades. Due to their advantage in terms of saving color pigments, MF membranes are more suitable than UF ones for clarification of pomegranate juice. Incorporation of nanoparticles to the membrane matrix is one of the methods to increase the antifouling character and the strength of the membranes modified with hydrophilic polymers. There are some studies investigating the effect of TiO(2)and Al(2)O(3)nanoparticles on the properties of polymeric membranes. However, there are no reported data on the utilization of TiO(2)and Al(2)O(3)nanocomposite membranes for clarifying pomegranate juice. In this study, TiO(2)and Al(2)O(3)incorporated new generation PSF/PEI membranes were utilized in the clarification process of pomegranate juice for the first time in the literature. The results showed that Al(2)O(3)incorporation seems to be a good alternative for clarifying pomegranate juice with enhanced quality parameters.

(Springer, 2023) Gulcimen, Sedat; Ozcan, Ozlem; Cevik, Selin Babacan; Kahraman, Kevser; Uzal, Nigmet; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 02.07. Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği; 02. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 02.03. İnşaat Mühendisliği
Since packaging contributes to severe environmental impacts in food production, alternatives of packaging materials that satisfy customer needs while minimizing environmental impacts in a cost-effective manner should be preferred for food product sustainability. This paper compares two different packaging materials (aluminum cans and retort pouches) with a life cycle approach to assess the environmental impacts of ready-to-eat bean packaging. The life cycle assessment (LCA) was used to define and compare the environmental performance of ready-to-eat beans in aluminum cans and retort pouches. The gate-to-gate approach was used in the LCA, with a functional unit of 1 kg of packaged ready-to-eat bean product. Inventory for packaging in retort pouch was created in collaboration with Duru Bulgur Company (Karaman, Turkey) and the data for ready-to-eat beans in the aluminum can were gathered from the literature. The findings show that ready-to-eat beans in retort pouches have lower environmental impacts than ready-to-eat beans in aluminum cans. The packaging and washing processes for both ready-to-eat beans packaged in aluminum cans and retort pouches had the greatest environmental impact. In ready-to-eat beans production, retort pouch provides 87% better environmental performance than aluminum can in terms of global warming (GW). Overall, the results demonstrated that replacing aluminum cans with retort pouches in ready-to-eat bean production can significantly reduce environmental effects in all impact categories.

Development of Buckwheat Starch-Capric Acid Complex-Based Film: Process Optimization and Film Characterization
(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2025) Koca, Esra; Kahraman, Kevser; Oskaybas-Emlek, Betul; Ozbey, Ayse; Aydemir, Levent Yurdaer; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 02.07. Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği; 02. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 02. 04. Bilgisayar Mühendisliği
To overcome the limitations of starch usage alone, the film formation ability of the buckwheat starch-capric acid complex (BS-CA) was optimized, and the films were characterized. Significant models were obtained for tensile strength (TS) and Young's modulus (YM) of BS-CA film (p < 0.0001). The glycerol/starch ratio, temperature, and their interactions were significant in the YM model (R-2 is 0.9851). The BS-CA film had a better water vapor barrier (0.463 +/- 0.02 g mm/m(2) h kPa), with lower water solubility (WS) (34.18 +/- 1.70%) and moisture content (MC) (16.87 +/- 0.09%) than the buckwheat starch (BS) film (p < 0.05). It had lower thickness (0.073 +/- 0.00 mm) and TS (0.624 +/- 0.04 MPa) but higher elasticity (114.60 +/- 3.12%). The non-covalent interactions were determined between BS and CA, since new peaks were not observed in the film's FTIR spectrum. BS-CA film had a typical V-type crystalline structure and had slightly lower decomposition temperatures than the BS film. Contact angle measurements (55.19 degrees +/- 1.7), and images of AFM topography and SEM showed that the BS-CA film surface was hydrophilic; height and average roughness values were 1014 and 276 nm, respectively, which were quite higher than those of BS film. The results reveal that starch modification with fatty acid is a promising way to develop starch-based films to be used in practical applications.
Dietary Fibers
(Springer Nature, 2021) Drǎgan, Simona Ruxandra; Damian, Georgiana; Pah, Ana Maria; Hayta, Mehmet; Kahraman, Kevser; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 02.07. Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği; 02. Mühendislik Fakültesi
Dietary fibers have become increasingly popular in recent years with various applications in the food and pharmaceutical industry industries. Dietary fibers are plant-based foods which are incompletely digested by digestive enzymes. The water-soluble fibers are prebiotics, which are fermented in the colon and have a beneficial role for gut microbiota. The insoluble fibers are not affected by digestive systems and provide bulking. Fiber intake has various benefits: it reduces appetite, lowers variance in blood sugar levels, reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, lowers the risk of diabetes, balances intestinal pH, alle¬viates constipation, and facilitates regular defecation. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019) Kahraman, Kevser; Aktas-Akyildiz, Eda; Ozturk, Serpil; Koksel, Hamit; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 02.07. Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği; 02. Mühendislik Fakültesi
Cross-linked starches produced in lab-scale from corn and wheat starches with TDF contents of 80.4% and 83.6% were used in cookie formulation to obtain high fibre and low glycaemic index (GI) cookies. Different resistant starch (RS) sources including and wheat bran were also used for comparison. RS sources were added into the formulation at the levels of 25, 50 and 75%. Overall cookie quality (spread ratio, hardness, colour) results showed that among the RS sources and wheat bran, lab-scale produced cross-linked wheat starch (XL-W) had an improving effect on cookie quality, whereas the other sources had detrimental effect. Cookie samples supplemented with XL-W had the highest total dietary fibre (TDF) contents regardless of the addition level. High levels of TDF content were also observed with the wheat bran supplemented cookie samples; however, quality of these cookies were low. RS and wheat bran supplementation caused significant decrease in the in vitro GI of the cookies and the lowest GI value was achieved with the cookie supplemented with XL-W. This study proved that XL-W produced in this study can be used as an alternative ingredient to produce high fibre and low GI cookies without any deteriorative effect on the quality.

Increasing demand for nutritionally dense foods warrants the investigation of high fiber and protein ingredients in snack food applications. In this study, blends of barley (22.9% dietary fiber, db) and green lentil (26.4% protein, db) flours were extruded at five blending ratios (barley: green lentil, 100: 0, 75: 25, 60: 40, 45: 55, 0: 100, db), two barrel temperature profiles (60-130 degrees C and 70-140 degrees C from feeder to die) and three feed moisture contents (15, 18 and 21%) to produce puffed snacks. Extrusion significantly improved in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD) of all blends by up to 10%. Decreasing feed moisture and increasing die temperature improved IVPD. Blending increased the limiting amino acid score and hence improved the in vitro protein digestibility corrected amino acid score (IVPDCAAS) of extrudates. On average, the blend 45:55 showed the highest average IVPDCAAS (68.62%) among the blends studied and lower glycemic index scores compared to the blend 60: 40. In general, extrusion did not substantially affect the soluble, insoluble or total dietary fiber contents of the blends. All extrudates from blends 60: 40 and 45:55 met the requirement to be labelled as "good source of dietary fiber" in the US.

Lentil is an alternative gluten-free source with high protein content. In our study, lentil seeds were germinated to enhance the functional and antioxidant properties of lentil. The raw and germinated lentil flour was obtained from lentil seed and used in cookie production. The germination affected the physicochemical, functional, chemical and morphological properties, and pasting behavior of lentil flour. The results indicated that germination caused positive effects on ash and protein content, total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant properties, oil absorption capacity, and water solubility index. However, germination caused a decrease in the total dietary fiber and starch content due to the activation of the enzymes during germination. SEM images of the germinated lentil flour proved the degradation of starch. Lentil (raw and germinated) flour cookies and wheat flour cookies (Control) were evaluated in terms of physicochemical, TPC, antioxidant properties, textural properties, and in-vitro glycemic index (eGI) value. Germinated lentil flour cookie exhibited the lowest hardness, lightness, yellowness values, the highest TPC and antioxidant activity, and it had the same effect on eGI with control cookie. Overall results indicated that germination can be used as a natural, sustainable, and cost-effective way to improve the functional, and antioxidant properties of lentil. Germinated lentil flour cookie may be considered as a functional food due to high protein content and antioxidant properties.

Background and objectives RS4 is an alternative dietary fiber source with some potential physiological benefits giving better quality end products. Common dietary fiber sources including bran usually have deteriorative effect on color, textural properties, and consumer acceptability of breads. This study was designed to investigate the effect of RS4 supplementation on the bread quality as well as mineral bioavailability, bile acid-binding capacity, in vitro glycemic index. Findings Loaf volumes of the breads supplemented with RS4 were higher than the bread supplemented with wheat bran (WB). Among the bread samples, the one supplemented with WB had the darkest color and highest firmness values. During storage, WB supplementation caused the highest increase in bread firmness. RS4 supplementation caused higher total dietary fiber (TDF) and mineral bioavailability values and lower in vitro glycemic index than bran supplementation. Conclusions RS4 supplementation of bread caused increases in TDF content, bile acid-binding capacity, and mineral bioavailability and has less deteriorative effect on the quality than WB supplementation. Breads supplemented with WB had a faster staling rate than the breads supplemented with RS4. Significance and novelty Besides the better appearance and texture of the RS4 supplemented bread samples, the improvement in nutritional properties proved that RS4 is a better dietary fiber source than WB.

Grape pomace is a valuable residue of wine, vinegar, juice, and molasses industries with its high phenolic compound content. In this study, fabrication of gelatin/zein nanofiber films with antioxidant properties due to addition of grape pomace extract (0-20%, GPE) was assessed. This nanofiber film is designed to be evaluated as an active packaging material for coating walnuts. SEM analysis revealed that the nanofibers were uniform and bead-free, with the diameter ranging from 239 to 343 nm, and the FT-IR spectra showed that the GPE was enclosed in nanofibers successfully. The thermal stability of the extract appeared to be improved by encapsulation. The nanofibers demonstrated DPPH scavenging activity with the one containing 20% GPE exhibiting 75% inhibition. Walnuts were placed into polyethylene bags including nanofibers, and after 21-day storage, a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in the peroxide values (from 1.92 meq 0(2)/kg walnut oil to 1.39 meq 02/kg walnut oil) and Totox values (from 4.05 to 3.01) was shown by using GPE-loaded nanofiber. This study's results indicate that nanofibers with GPE content could be a promising package material for preserving food quality.

This study investigates the impact of using different flours, including high beta-glucan barley, on the nutritional properties of tarhana. Mineral composition, phenolic content, and antioxidant capacity of tarhana powder samples produced using flours of high beta-glucan hull-less barley (cv. Chifaa; ChF), hull-less barley cv. Yalin (YF), bread wheat cv. Tosunbey (white flour: TWF1 and whole wheat flour: TWF2). Furthermore, in vitro glycemic index (GI), pasting properties, and RVA soup index of their soups were investigated. Tarhana made with Chifaa barley flour (Tar-ChF) exhibited significantly higher levels of key minerals (K, Mg, Ca), beta-glucan and total phenolic content compared to those made with other flours (Tar YF, Tar TWF1, and Tar TWF2). Barley tarhana samples also showed greater antioxidant activity of bound phenolic fractions and lower GI values, indicating a healthier profile. The study highlights the potential of high beta-glucan barley flour to enhance tarhana's nutritional benefits without significantly affecting its sensory properties, such as color and viscosity. This research supports the integration of health-promoting ingredients like barley flour into traditional Mediterranean foods to improve their nutritional quality.

In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized via a green method from pomegranate peel extract and incorporated into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to produce AgPVA nanofibers through electrospinning. Nanofibers containing different silver concentrations (0.5, 1, and 1.5% Ag) were used as coating materials to coat minced meat, and their effects on various quality parameters during storage at 4 degrees C were evaluated. FTIR, XRD, SEM, and antibacterial analyses were conducted for the characterization of AgNPs and AgPVA nanofibers. To assess the quality characteristics of the minced meat during storage, pH, color, peroxide, TBARS, and microbiological analyses were performed. The results indicated that silver concentrations up to 1% could delay oxidation in minced meat and help preserve its quality. Compared with the other samples, the samples coated with 0.5% AgPVA (A1) and 1.0% AgPVA (A2) nanofibers exhibited a significant antimicrobial effect at the 6-day storage point (p < 0.05). The migration of AgNPs into minced meat was monitored during storage, and all migration values remained below the European food safety authority (EFSA) safety limit of 0.05 mg/kg, demonstrating the safety of the coatings. These findings suggest that AgPVA nanofibers synthesized via a green method could be a promising approach for extending the shelf life of perishable foods by reducing spoilage.

Ionizing radiation processing has demonstrated the potential to bring significant transformations in both the structure and functioning of starch. These modifications cover crucial features, including granular and molecular characteristics, pasting properties, rheological attributes, and gelatinization behavior. This comprehensive chapter aims mainly to provide a consolidated overview of the key findings that have been made recently about major alterations in the fundamental attributes of starch generated by diverse plant sources when exposed to ionizing radiation processing. Beyond articulating these modifications, the chapter explores other relevant topics, including analytical methods employed for characterizing irradiated starch, clarification of the radiation-induced reaction mechanism, and a discussion on safety considerations and regulatory frameworks associated with the utilization of ionizing radiation for treating starch within the context of food-related applications. Furthermore, based on all the highlighted elements, future research directions are proposed, with a focus on characterizing and defining the internal structure of irradiated starch, as well as exploring the functionalities of radiation-modified starches in both innovative and traditional food formulations. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

Amiloz-lipit kompleksi üretiminde herbir yağ asidi için en etkili iki reaksiyon parametresi (sıcaklık, süre, pH, yağ asidi/nişasta oranı) belirlenmiştir. Herbir yağ asidi için en etkili iki parametre kullanılarak merkezi kompozit tasarım ile deneme tasarımları oluşturulmuş, komplekslerin kompleks indeks (KI), görünür amiloz, sindirilebilirlik, su bağlama-çözünürlük, çirişlenme, berraklık ve sineresis derecesi gibi özellikleri açısından karakterize edilmiştir. Kompleks oluşumunun nişastanın yapısına etkisi XRD ve FT-IR ile incelenmiştir. Amiloz-lipit kompleks oluşumu ile nişastanın enzime dirençli nişasta miktarı artmış, şişme gücü azalmıştır. En yüksek KI değerine sahip amiloz-kompleksi içeren nişastalar kullanılarak gliserol varlığında filmler üretilmiştir. Gliserol konsantrasyonu, çözelti sıcaklığı ve pH?nın film mekanik özelliklerine etkisinin araştırılması amacıyla, bu parametreler kullanılarak yanıt yüzey yöntemi ile deneme tasarımları oluşturulmuş, film üretimi gerçekleştirilmiş ve optimum film karakteristiklerine sahip film üretiminin sağlandığı parametreler belirlenmiştir. Optimum koşullarda amiloz-lipit kompleksi kullanılarak üretilen filmlerin gerilme dirençleri miristik (1,09 MPa) ve stearik asit (3,360 MPa) için kontrol filme göre daha yüksek, uzama değeri ise kaprik asit (%114,59) için daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Amiloz-lipit kompleksi kullanılarak üretilen filmlerin çözünürlük, nem ve kalınlık değerleri kontrollere göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur. En iyi su buharı bariyer özelliğine amiloz-miristik asit kompleks filmi (0,394 g.mm/m2.h.kPa) ile elde edilmiştir. SEM ve AFM görüntüleri amiloz-lipit kompleksi kullanımının film morfolojik ve topografik özelliklerine etki ettiğini göstermiştir. Su ile yüzey temas açısı sonuçlarına göre sadece amiloz-stearik asit kompleksi filmi hidrofobik yüzeye sahip olmuşlardır. Tüm sonuçlar genel olarak değerlendirildiğinde proje kapsamında karabuğday nişastasından enzime dirençli nişasta kaynağı olma potansiyeline sahip amiloz-lipit kompleksi oluşturmuş; oluşturulan bu komplekslerden mekanik özellikleri yüksek yenilebilir film üretimi gerçekleştirilebilmiştir.

Modelling the Effects of Debranching and Microwave Irradiation Treatments on the Properties of High Amylose Corn Starch by Using Response Surface Methodology
(Springer, 2018) Mutlu, Selime; Kahraman, Kevser; Severcan, Sebnem; Ozturk, Serpil; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 02.07. Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği; 02. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 10. Rektörlük
Response surface methodology was applied to determine the effects of pullulanase debranching, microwave irradiation time (2-4 min) and power (20-100%) on resistant starch (RS) formation and in-vitro glycemic index (GI) values in high amylose corn starch, Hylon VII. Starch:water (1:10) suspensions were cooked and autoclaved, debranched with pullulanase (1000 PUN/g; 1500 U/kg starch) at 60 A degrees C and then different microwave-storing cycles and drying (oven or freeze drying) processes were applied. In order to describe the relationship between the dependent and independent variables (microwave power and irradiation time), the response values were fitted by first order polynomial regression models. Significance analysis showed that microwave irradiation time had significant effect on RS content and GI value of the samples treated with one cycle of microwave-storing prior to freeze-drying. Microwave power had significant factor on the GI value of the samples that were oven-dried after one cycle of microwave-storing. Solubility and water binding capacity values of all heat treated samples were higher than those of native starch. On the other hand, RVA viscosity values were lower than native starch for oven-dried samples. Water binding capacity, solubility and final viscosity values of the freeze-dried samples were higher than those of oven-dried ones.

Bu çalışmada nano malzeme üretimi konusunda doğal ve yenilenebilir bir kaynak olarak son yıllarda oldukça ilgi çeken birhammadde olan nişastadan yüksek kristaliniteye sahip nanokristal üretimi hedeflenmiştir. Bu amaçla buğday nişastası farklı oranlarda$H_2SO_4$ (1:2 ve 1:4 nişasta:asit) ile beş gün boyunca 50℃ sıcaklıkta hidroliz edilmiştir. Hidroliz sonrasında örnekler diyalize tabitutularak safsızlıklar giderilmiş, liyofilize edilerek kurutulmuştur. Elde edilen nişasta nanokristalleri taramalı elektron mikroskobu(SEM) kullanılarak boyut; X-Işını Kırınım Spektroskopisi (XRD) kullanılarak yapı ve kristalinite; Fourier dönüşümlü kızılötesispektrometresi (FT-IR) kullanılarak yapı açısından karakterize edilmiştir. Doğal haldeki buğday nişastası da aynı şekilde karakterizeedilmiş ve hidroliz işleminin yapı, boyut ve kristalinite üzerine etkisi incelenmiştir.SEM görüntüleri incelendiğinde buğday nişastasının boyutlarının 5-10 µm arasında değişim gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Asit hidrolizisonucunda ise nişasta boyutunun oldukça azaldığı ve 50 nm’nin altına düştüğü gözlenmiştir. Doğal haldeki buğday nişastasıbirbirinden bağımsız granüller halinde iken nişasta nanokristalleri kümeleşmiş halde görüntülenmiştir. XRD desenleri incelendiğindeasit hidrolizi ile elde edilen nişasta nanokristallerin buğdayın tipik X-ışını kırınım deseni olan A-tipi X-ışını kırınım desenini verdiğigözlenmiştir. X-ışını kırınım desenleri yapı açısından incelendiğinde işlem görmemiş doğal haldeki buğday nişastası ile nişastananokristallerin arasında fark görülmese de, bu örneklerin kristalinite indeks değerlerinin farklı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Doğal haldekibuğday nişastasının kristalinite indeks değeri %42,2 olarak belirlenmişken, asit hidrolizi ile üretilen nişasta nanokristallerininkristalinite indeks değerleri daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Düşük oranda asit kullanılarak üretilen nişasta nanokristalinin (1:2) kristaliniteindeks değeri %57,3 iken daha yüksek oranda kullanılarak üretilen nişasta nanokristalininin (1:4) kristalinite indeks değeri %68,5olarak belirlenmiştir. FT-IR sonuçlarına göre ise nişasta nanokristallerin doğal buğday nişastası ile aynı yapıya sahip olduğugözlemlenmiştir.

This study investigated the potential of high-amylose wheat flour (Svevo-HA) to enhance the dietary profile of tarhana, a traditional Mediterranean fermented cereal yogurt mixture. The moisture content of tarhana powders ranged from 7.81% to 11.64%. Color parameters varied depending on the type of flour used, with Svevo-HA samples demonstrating decreased L* values and increased a* and b* values. Mineral compositions differed significantly among tarhana samples, with higher levels of K, Mg, Mn, Fe, Cu, and Zn observed in samples prepared with Svevo-HA. Gallic acid was identified as the major phenolic compound in all the tarhana samples for free fraction, while ferulic acid was determined as the major phenolic compound for its bound form. Supplementation of tarhana soups with heat-treated Svevo-HA flour increased the resistant starch content and decreased in vitro glycemic index value compared to soups prepared with conventional wheat flour. These findings highlight the potential of utilizing Svevo-HA flour to develop healthier versions of traditional foods.
