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.
A Novel high-amylose wheat-based functional cereal soup (tarhana) with low glycemic index and high resistant starch
(Academic Press, 2024) Koksel, Hamit; Tekin-Cakmak, Zeynep Hazal; Ozkan, Kubra; Pekacar, Zeynep; Oruc, Sena; Kahraman, Kevser; Ozer, Cagla; Sagdic, Osman; Sestili, Francesco; 0000-0002-2786-3944; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği Bölümü; Kahraman, Kevser
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.
Quality, Nutritional Properties, and Glycemic Index of Colored Whole Wheat Breads
(MDPI, 2023) Koksel, Hamit; Cetiner, Buket; Shamanin, Vladimir P.; Tekin-Cakmak, Z. Hazal; Pototskaya, Inna V.; Kahraman, Kevser; Sagdic, Osman; Morgounov, Alexey I.; 0000-0002-2786-3944; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği Bölümü; Kahraman, Kevser
The main aim of this study was to investigate the quality and nutritional properties (dietary fiber, phenolic, antioxidant contents, and glycemic index) of breads made from whole wheat flours of colored wheats. White (cultivar Agronomicheskaya 5), red (Element 22), purple (EF 22 and Purple 8), and blue (Blue 10) colored wheats were used in the study. The whole wheat flours of Blue 10 and Purple 8 had higher farinograph stability, lower softening degree, and higher quality numbers indicating that they had better rheological properties. Bread produced from whole wheat flour of blue-colored grain had significantly higher loaf volume and better symmetry, crust color, crumb cell structure, and softness values among others (p < 0.05). The whole wheat bread produced using Element 22 had the highest crust and crumb L* color values, while Purple 8 and EF 22 had the lowest crust and crumb L* color values, suggesting that purple-colored grains have a tendency to make whole wheat bread with darker crust and crumb color. Bread produced from cultivar Blue 10 had the lowest firmness values while Element 22 had the highest firmness values. The highest total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity values were obtained from the whole wheat bread sample from purple-colored wheat (Purple 8). The whole wheat flour of Element 22 had the highest total dietary fiber content among all samples (p < 0.05). The differences between whole wheat bread samples in terms of total dietary fiber and glycemic index were not statistically significant. The results of the present study indicated that colored wheats can be used to produce whole wheat breads with higher nutritional properties and acceptable quality characteristics.
