Article Effects of Gelatinization Process on Some Physicochemical Parameters, Pasting Characteristics and Some Nutritional Properties of Pulsed Based Flour Blends(Springer, 2026-02-17) Kahraman, Kevser; Yuksel, Ferhat; Karaman, SafaIn this study, a flour mixture was composed by three different flours (wheat flour (WF), cranberry bean flour (CBF) and lentil flour (LF)) depending on a constructed mixture design and some physicochemical parameters, pasting characteristics and some nutritional properties were investigated before and after gelatinization process. The highest total dietary fiber content was determined for the sole cranberry bean flour. After gelatinization of the samples, total dietary fiber levels of the samples increased significantly, and it ranged between 4.70 and 25.16% for uncooked samples and 8.46-29.09% for cooked samples. Resistant starch (RS) content of the samples was also affected by the gelatinization process. Wheat flour showed an increase in the RS content after gelatinization process and similar increment in the RS content was observed for the sole lentil flour. Peak viscosity was the highest for the wheat flour (2318 cP) and lowest for the lentil flour (716.5 cP). Glycemic index of the cooked samples changed significantly, and it ranged between 94.4 and 123.5. This study showed that making flour composite and gelatinization process had a significant effect on the pasting properties and nutritional characteristics of the pulse-based flour mixture.Article Development of Resistant Starch Type-5 and Its Utilization in Cookie-Preparation(North University Center Baia Mare, 2025-11-30) Oskaybas-Emlek, Betul; Ozbey, Ayse; Kahraman, KevserThe objective of this study was the production of resistant starch type-5 (RS-5), its characterization, and utilization in cookie making. In first part of the study, the effects of starch-fatty acid complex formation (RS-5) between tapioca starch and lauric acid on the structure, digestibility, thermal and morphological properties of tapioca starch were investigated. X-ray diffraction revealed that the RS-5 had a V-type crystalline pattern. FT-IR analysis showed that a distinctive peak at 2846 cm-1 was only observed in RS-5. The resistant starch (RS) content of native starch increased from 22.76% to 28.02% with RS-5 formation. In the second part of the study, the RS-5 was added as a replacement for wheat flour with 10%, 20%, and 30% compared to control sample made with 100% wheat flour in cookie-making. The effects of RS-5 replacement of cookie samples on some physicochemical, estimated glycemic index (eGI) value, physical, and hardness properties were determined. Compared to control cookie, the cookie samples included RS-5 had lower hardness value, higher spread ratio. The eGI value of cookie samples was slightly decreased with the replacement with RS-5. The results demonstrated that the RS-5 has good potential for developing softer cookie with no adverse impact on eGI value.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Development and Characterization of Starch-Fatty Acid Complexes Produced with Buckwheat Starch and Capric/Stearic Acid Using Different Reaction Conditions(Elsevier, 2025-12) Oskaybas-Emlek, Betul; Ozbey, Ayse; Aydemir, Levent Yurdaer; Kahraman, KevserThe aim of present study was to investigate the impact of reaction parameters on the complex formation between buckwheat starch and capric acid (B-Capric) or stearic acid (B-Stearic). The most effective parameters on complex formation indicator (Complex index (CI) value) were found as reaction temperature (60-90 degrees C) and pH (5-8). Additionally, the effect of these parameters on physicochemical, pasting, and in-vitro digestibility properties of complex samples were evaluated. XRD and FTIR was also used in characterize the complex samples. In general, increasing pH increased the CI values of B-Stearic samples while decreasing those of B-Capric samples. Syneresis of buckwheat starch increased after complexation while paste clarity and swelling power diminished. The pasting properties of native starch significantly changed after complex formation. The FTIR results showed that starch structure changed with complex formation. XRD revealed that buckwheat starch, having an A-type pattern, converted to V-type pattern after complexation. Complex formation of buckwheat starch with capric and stearic acid significantly increased the RS content of buckwheat starch (19.01 %) by up to 36.25 % and 30.60 %, respectively. These results highlight the possibility of using buckwheat starch-capric acid/stearic acid complexes in food formulation to enhance the RS content.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 7Starch(Elsevier, 2023) Köksel, Hamit F.; Muti, Serpil Ozturk; Kahraman, KevserStarch is the major source of carbohydrates in the human diet. It occurs in most plants in granules, which are usually between 1 and 100µm in diameter, depending on the plant source. Starch is the major component in cereals, comprising 60%-75% of the grain weight. Besides its nutritive value, starch is a valuable component because it affects the physical properties of foods. Different starches have characteristic features, varying in molecular structure, morphological properties, crystallinity, gelatinization and pasting, and enzyme digestibility. In recent years, modified starches and enzyme-resistant starches have also gained importance because of their functional benefits in foods. In addition, starch is an important industrial raw material in products like syrups, ethanol, textiles, and paper. This chapter explains the molecular structure of starch, its physical, physicochemical, and functional properties, as well as modified and resistant starches, focusing on the starches in cereal grains. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Book Part Ionizing Radiation(CRC Press, 2024-09-13) Braşoveanu, Mirela M.; Emlek, Betul Oskaybaş; Sabbaghi, Hassan; Kahraman, Kevser; Muti, Serpil Ozturk; Sher, Farooq; Nemţanu, Monica R.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.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 11Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles From Pomegranate Peel and Their Application in PVA-Based Nanofibers for Coating Minced Meat(Nature Portfolio, 2025-05-16) Gencag, Burcu Sari; Kahraman, Kevser; Ekici, Lutfiye; Sari Gencag, BurcuIn 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.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Fabrication 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.Book Part Dietary Fibers(Springer Nature, 2021) Drǎgan, Simona Ruxandra; Damian, Georgiana; Pah, Ana Maria; Hayta, Mehmet; Kahraman, KevserDietary 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.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Development of Buckwheat Starch-Capric Acid Complex-Based Film: Process Optimization and Film Characterization(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2025-02-26) Koca, Esra; Kahraman, Kevser; Oskaybas-Emlek, Betul; Ozbey, Ayse; Aydemir, Levent YurdaerTo 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.
