Bee bread (perga) is a natural bee product formed by the fermentation of pollen collected bees via lactic acid bacteria and yeasts. This study aims to determine bioactive compounds, amino acid, sugar, organic profile samples from Ardahan province Türkiye. The highest total phenolic, flavonoid, DPPH values in were determined as 18.35 mg GAE/g, 2.82 QE/g, 3.90 TEAC/g, respectively. Among phenolic gallic had value at 39.97 µ/g. While all essential acids except tryptophan detected samples,...

Honey is a natural animal product. The elemental composition of honey varies greatly depending on the source nectar, honeydew, pollen and environmental conditions. aim present study was to determine levels chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) aluminium (Al) in total 65 samples procured from different regions Turkey. Element were measured by using an inductively coupled plasma optical emission...

In recent years, non-thermal technology has been used for the enrichment of ultrasound bioactive components. For this purpose, it was applied to tomato vinegar and modeled with response surface methodology (RSM) artificial neural network (ANN). At end RSM, cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (68.64%), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (62.47%), total flavonoid content (2.44 mg CE/mL), phenolic (12.22 GAE/mL), ascorbic acid (2.53 mg/100 mL) lycopene (5.44 μg/mL) were determined. The ANN model...

Thirty-two yeast strains were identified by means of molecular methods isolated from traditional Turkish cheeses (Tulum, Kashkaval, Mihalic, Orgu, White, Sepet, and Goat). Debaryomyces hansenii Torulaspora delbrueckii found as predominant species in cheese samples. Other which Kluyveromyces lactis, Candida parapsilosis, Clavispora lusitaniae, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, K. marxianus, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Meyerozyma guilliermondii (formerly Pichia guilliermondii), C. zeylanoides albicans....

Cronobacter spp. are opportunistic pathogens isolated from many different type of food and environmental samples may cause serious health problems even death in newborns, children elders. The purpose the study was to determine occurrence prevalence animal originated food, ready-to-eat fruits vegetables, sold Istanbul its vicinity perform molecular typing agents by multiplex PCR. Analyses were conducted on a total 219 including 11 confectionary, 50 52 dairy products, meat products 56 food....
