    Agglomerated mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) powder: Optimization of top spray fluidized bed agglomeration conditions
    (2021-06-01) Atalar İ.; Kurt A.; Saricaoğlu F.T.; Gül O.; Gençcelep H.
    Agglomeration process improves instant properties of powders and increases consumer appreciation, reduces losses during production, and facilitates the processability of these powders in the industry. Mushroom powders (MP) have been subjected to agglomeration process at different process parameters: inlet air temperature (50–80°C), atomizing pressure (0.5–1.5 bars), and sprayed pure water amount (20–50 g) and the effects of process parameters on the physical and morphological properties of MP were investigated. The inlet air temperature and pure water amount have a linear effect on moisture content, apparent density, particle size, and porosity. Emulsion stability index was affected by inlet air temperature and atomization pressure. The optimal process condition (70°C inlet temperature 0.5 bar atomizing pressure and 50 g pure water amount) was determined for minimization of moisture content, wetting time, as well as maximation of particle size, porosity, emulsifying and foaming properties, and solubility. The results suggested that improving instant and physical properties make easier the processability of these powders in the industry and increased emulsifying properties show a good opportunity for usage of agglomerated MP in the emulsion systems. Practical Applications: This study showed the effects of the agglomeration process on the physicochemical, morphological, instant, and emulsifying properties of mushroom powders. The improvement of these properties makes it possible to increase the application areas of mushroom powders as a food additive in different food formulas and emulsified products.

    Effect of cold-pressed hazelnut cake incorporation on the quality characteristic of meat emulsion system and its potential application for frankfurter-type beef sausages
    (2023-01-01) Atalar İ.; Gül O.; Kurt A.; Saricaoğlu F.T.; Gençcelep H.
    This research was performed to investigate the effect of hazelnut cake (HC) as a cold press waste product on the physicochemical and textural properties of the frankfurter-type sausages during cold storage. According to the highest emulsion capacity (174.14 mL oil/g), emulsion stability (79.86%), and optimum rheological results obtained in emulsions, 1% HC concentration was selected for the utilization in the sausage formulation. HC added sausage was compared with the control sample at 4°C for 60 days of storage. HC addition increased the hardness and chewiness properties and decreased weight loss of sausages during storage. The incorporation of HC in formulation slowed down the increase in malondialdehyde and conjugated dienes concentrations after the 15th day of storage compared to the control sausages. The results demonstrated that HC presented a good opportunity for protecting the quality parameters of emulsified meat products during storage.

    Improved physicochemical, rheological and bioactive properties of ice cream: Enrichment with high pressure homogenized hazelnut milk
    (2021-07-01) Atalar I.; Kurt A.; Gul O.; Yazici F.
    High pressure homogenized hazelnut milk (HM) as a functional food compound was incorporated into ice cream as a replacer of cow milk (0-25-50-75-100%) to investigate its effect on the rheological, textural, physical, functional, and sensory properties of ice cream. Rheological experiments showed that the water-holding properties, flow behaviors, and emulsifying capacity of ice creams were improved by increasing HM ratio (p < 005) due to the more developed structure and a higher degree of molecular connectivity. At higher HM concentrations, the reduced melting rates and retarded first dripping time values were observed (p < 005) for ice creams, exhibiting higher consistency, material stiffness values, total phenolic content and antioxidant activity. The usage of HM up to 75% concentrations in ice cream production improved the acceptability of the product enhancing their sensory parameters. The enrichment of ice cream with HM may help to enhance the functional, structural, and also nutritional characteristics of dairy products.
