Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Fabrication of Grape Pomace Extract-Loaded Electrospun Nanofiber Films as Active Packaging Material for Walnut(Springer, 2024-09-27) Yilmaz, Burcin; Kahraman, Kevser; Ekici, LutfiyeGrape 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 0(2)/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.Article Citation - WoS: 41Citation - Scopus: 46Effects of Germination on the Physicochemical and Nutritional Characteristics of Lentil and Its Utilization Potential in Cookie-Making(Springer, 2021-06-10) Oskaybas-Emlek, Betul; Ozbey, Ayse; Kahraman, KevserLentil 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.
