    Production of Oven-Baked Wheat Chips Enriched With Red Lentil: An Optimization Study by Response Surface Methodology
    (Springer India, 2021-08-25) Babacan Cevik, Selin; Kahraman, Kevser; Ekici, Lutfiye
    Chips are the most common snacks in human diet and generally are produced by frying. However, due to their high carbohydrate, fat and salt content, they are considered as unhealthy snacks. In this study, it is aimed to develop red lentil enriched chips for use as a healthy and nutritious snack food. Due to the health concerns about high fat content of the fried chips, the samples were oven-baked instead of frying. Response surface methodology was used to investigate the effect of process parameters (red lentil flour ratio, baking temperature and time) on physicochemical, textural, nutritional, and bioactive properties of the chips. The samples were also evaluated in terms of taste, odor, crispness, and general acceptance by the panelists. The highest antioxidant capacity, total phenolic content and hydroxymethyl furfural content was achived with the sample supplememented with 50% red lentil flour and baked at the highest temperature and time used in the study (190 degrees C, 9 min). Red lentil flour supplementation increased protein and resistant starch content of the chips. The highest resistant starch content of the samples and lowest in vitro glycemic index value were achieved with the sample prepared with 50% red lentil flour supplementation. These results of this study proved that red lentil is a good source to be used for enrichment of oven-baked wheat chips as a novel snack food with high nutritional values and low in vitro glycemic index.

    Investigations on Fracture Evolution of Coal Measure Sandstones from Mineralogical and Textural Points of View
    (Springer India, 2020-04-09) Koken, Ekin
    The purpose of the present study is to investigate the variations in fracture evolution of sandstones arising from mineralogical and textural features. For this purpose, eight types of coal measure sandstones located in the Zonguldak Hardcoal Basin (ZHB) were considered. The mineralogical and textural characterizations of the rocks were carried out. Physico-mechanical properties were determined for each rock type. Based on quantitative strain-based methods, the crack initiation (sigma(ci)) and crack damage (sigma(cd)) thresholds of the sandstones were determined. The laboratory test results indicate that the sigma(ci)and sigma(cd)of the sandstones were found to be between 0.27-0.43 and 0.61-0.83 of the UCS, respectively. In general, the sigma(ci)and sigma(cd)correspond to 0.37 and 0.71 of the UCS, respectively. The sigma(ci)and sigma(cd)decrease with increasing the sorting coefficient (S-c), average grain size (d(50), mm), contents of feldspar (F, %), and lithic fragment (LF, %). On the other hand, increasing quartz content (Qtz, %) increases those variables. Remarkable changes were obtained in the sigma(ci)and sigma(cd)when effective porosity (n(e)) and pulse wave velocity (V-p) of the rocks exceed 3% and 3.00 km/s, respectively. As a result of mineralogical analyses and laboratory studies, statistical analyses were carried out. Accordingly, the sigma(ci)and sigma(cd)could be estimated reliably using several empirical relationships established in the present study. In order to represent the importance and utilization of rock mineralogy and texture for underground mining applications in the ZHB, several suggestions and considerations related to aV-cut gallery blasting operation were introduced.

    An Ant Colony Optimisation Algorithm for Balancing Two-Sided U-Type Assembly Lines With Sequence-Dependent Set-Up Times
    (Springer India, 2018-11-01) Delice, Yilmaz; Aydogan, Emel Kizilkaya; Soylemez, Ismet; Ozcan, Ugur
    Some practical arrangements in assembly lines necessitate set-up times between consecutive tasks. To create more realistic models of operations, set-up times must be considered. In this study, a sequence-dependent set-up times approach for two-sided u-type assembly line (TUAL) structures is proposed for the first time. Previous studies on TUAL have not included set-up times in their analyses. Furthermore, an algorithm based on the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm, which is using a heuristic priority rule based procedure has been proposed in order to solve this new approach. In this paper, we look at the sequence-dependent set-up times between consecutive tasks and consecutive cycles, called the "forward set-up time'' and the "backward set-up time'', respectively. Additionally, we examine the "crossover set-up time'', which arises from a new sequence of tasks in a crossover station. In order to model more realistic assembly line configurations, it is necessary to include sequence-dependent set-up times when computing all of the operational times such as task starting times and finishing times as well as the total workstation time. In this study, the proposed approach aims to minimize the number of mated-stations as the primary objective and to minimize the number of total workstations as a secondary objective. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, a computational study is performed. As can be seen from the experimental results the proposed approach finds promising results for all literature-test problems.
