Application of Cold Plasma Technology in the Food Industry and Its Combination With Other Emerging Technologies
(Elsevier Science London, 2021) Ucar, Yilmaz; Ceylan, Zafer; Durmus, Mustafa; Tomar, Oktay; Cetinkaya, Turgay
Background: The search for preservation methods that can be used as alternatives to heat treatment is a significant issue in food quality. Utilization of plasma technology, a useful nonthermal technique, is encouraged in the food industry because of its effectiveness in preserving the natural aroma and flavor and antimicrobial activity. Scope and approach: The cold plasma (CP) technique is used for food processing for enhancing antimicrobial activity, structural modification, decontamination of surfaces, and disinfection of food-processing instruments. Currently, a combination of CP with other promising approaches, such as nanotechnology applications, including nanofiber, nanoemulsion, nanoparticles, and nanoencapsulation, and emerging nonthermal technologies, including pulsed electric field (PEF), pulsed light (PL), and ultrasound, is gaining increased attention. In addition to its many advantages, CP is a low-cost method that can be an alternative to heat-based techniques used for the processing of food products. Therefore, application of CP technology in the food industry has been described in this review. Key findings and conclusions: Demand for raw or non-heat-treated foods is increasing due to factors, such as the preference of consumers for healthy foods and the development of consumer awareness. However, plasma technology can be used to improve microbial quality and prevent rapid physical, chemical, and sensory changes. Studies have shown that CP application is effective in offering higher-quality products for consumption by extending the shelf life of foods. Positive results have been achieved in terms of both quality and microbial activity in different food groups with plasma technology. In addition to recently published articles, the combined hurdle effect of CP with other emerging novel technologies such as nanotechnology, pulsed electric field (PEF), pulsed light (PL), and ultrasound processing on food or food packaging materials could be further studied and used to ensure food safety. However, the high initial investment costs for CP need to be considered.
Characterized Nano-Size Curcumin and Rosemary Oil for the Limitation Microbial Spoilage of Rainbow Trout Fillets
(Elsevier, 2020) Ceylan, Zafer; Meral, Raciye; Kose, Senol; Sengor, Gulgun; Akinay, Yuksel; Durmus, Mustafa; Ucar, Yilmaz
Curcumin and rosemary oil nanoemulsions (CUR and RON), having 184.3 nm and 158.3 nm average diameters, were successfully produced by a single sonication technique. Effectiveness of nanoemulsions against P. aeruginosa, E. coli, and S. typhimurium were tested by agar diffusion method. Total mesophilic bacteria (TMABc) growth in fish fillets treated with RON and CUR nanoemulsions was acceptable for human consumption up to the 9th day. Total psychrophilic bacteria counts (TPBc) in the fish fillets treated with RON and CUR was found to be lower (26% and 17%) than the control group samples, respectively. While TMAB growth in fish fillets treated with RON was effectively declined from 5.59 to 3.48 log CFU/g, TMAB count of the fish fillets treated with CUR was decreased from 7.42 to 6.53 log CFU/g during the analysis period. Therefore, the obtained novel nanomaterial could be effectively used to limit the rapid increase in bacterial spoilage of fish meat in the food industry.
Formulation With Sage Tea-Loaded Fish Oil-Based Microcapsules To Delay Oxidation
(Springer india, 2023) Durmus, Mustafa; Ucar, Yilmaz; Kosker, Ali Riza; Ozogul, Yesim; Ozyurt, Gulsun; Ceylan, Zafer
Fish (Engraulis encrasicolus) oil was successfully microencapsulated using sage essential oils prepared in three different concentrations as 1% (S1), 2% (S2) and 3% (S3). The microencapsulated fish oil powders fabricated with spray drying were stored at room temperature (24 +/- 1 degrees C) in order to determine the oxidative deterioration for 12 weeks. The highest microencapsulation efficiency was observed in the S3 (60.17%) as compared with other groups. Although the changes in free fatty acid (FFA) values were defined between 6.04 and 9.29% at the end of the storage period, the lowest FFA value was found in S2 samples (p < 0.05). Among the microencapsulated samples, the highest peroxide value (PV) was measured as 20.24 meq O-2/kg for S1 at the 11th week of the experimental period. Moreover, statistical differences between the control (25.93 meq O-2/kg) and S1 samples were observed (p < 0.05). The rapid increase in the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value of fish powders was delayed by microencapsulation technique fabricated with spray drying. The use of sage essential oils within this combination effectively retarded the oxidation in fish oil powders at ambient storage, indicating cost-effective for the food industry. Therefore, encapsulation of fish oils with sage oil using the spray drying technique has improved oxidation stability of fish oil and can be used for food applications.
The Function of Nanoemulsion on Preservation of Rainbow Trout Fillet
(Springer india, 2020) Durmus, Mustafa; Ozogul, Yesim; Kosker, Ali Riza; Ucar, Yilmaz; Boga, Esmeray Kuley; Ceylan, Zafer; Ozogul, Fatih
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of nanoemulsions prepared with various concentrations of olive oil on the sensory, chemical and microbiological quality of rainbow trout fillets. The results showed that the shelf life of rainbow trout fillets were determined as 10 days for the control, 12 days for tween 80 group, 14 days for the 15% olive oil nanoemulsion group (O15) and 16 days for both 30% (O30) and 45% olive oil nanoemulsion groups (O45). It was determined that the use of olive oil suppressed the fish smell and improved the organoleptic quality of fish fillets, extending shelf life. Best sensory results were obtained from O30 and O45 treatment groups. The use of nanoemulsion had a positive effect on the biochemical parameters (TVB-N, PV, FFA, TBARs and pH), as well as inhibiting bacterial growth compared to the control group. Among nanoemulsion groups, the lowest bacteria content was found in O45 group. As a result, O30 and O45 treatment groups can be recommended for the preservation of fish fillets.
