    Antimicrobial effects of fruit sauces on some pathogenic bacteria in vitro and on chicken breast meat
    (2021) Var, Işıl; Uzunlu, Sinan; Değirmenci, İpek
    The use of natural food additives is currently a rising trend. In the present study, the aim was to determine the antimicrobial effects of plum, pomegranate, Seville orange and sumac sauces on E. coli O157:H7,E. coli type I,Listeriamonocytogenes, Listeria ivanovii, Salmonella Typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus. Different concentrations (1%, 10%, 100%, v/v) of the sauces were tested on the studied bacteria in vitro using the agar diffusion and minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) methods. The results showed that the sumac sauce had the highest antimicrobial activity. The Seville orange, plum and pomegranate sauces also exerted antimicrobial activity in descending order. The antimicrobial activity of the fruit sauces was more effective at a concentration of 100% than at 10% and 1%, v/v. The most inhibitory effect was recorded for sumac sauce at a concentration of 100% (v/v) on L.monocytogenesand E. coli O157:H7. The findings of the MIC method aligned with the agar diffusion method. In addition, the in situ(food method) antimicrobial effect of the sauces on the indigenous microflora of chicken breast samples sold in stores was determined. Chicken samples hosting aerobic mesophilic bacteria, coliforms and E. coli were treated for two hours at 4 degrees C with plum, pomegranate, Seville orange and sumac sauces and were then monitored. The findings revealed that the Seville orange and sumac sauces were the most effective in reducing the indigenous microbial growth on the chicken samples. The plum sauce showed higher antimicrobial activity than pomegranate sauce. The phenolic content and acidity of the samples significantly (P<0.05) affected the antimicrobial activity both in vitro (agar diffusion and MIC) and in situ (chilled chicken breast). In conclusion, the sumac and Seville orange sauces were found to be the most promising natural antibacterial agents, and their use could be recommended, for example, in catering services to reduce the risk of foodborne illness.

    The effect of high hydrostatic pressure on some quality parameters of a traditional tortellini-like Turkish food (mantı) packed with at modified atmosphere
    (2020) Uzunlu, Sinan; Methven, Lisa
    Traditional cereal-based foods need to be thoroughly processed to fulfill the transportation conditions to distant locations. The present study examines the combined use of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) processes in mantı, a traditional tortellini-like Turkish food. After the mantı’s inner material and dough were separately processed with a HHP treatment at 400 MPa and 600 MPa, the mantı was prepared, and packaged under the modified atmosphere (60% CO2 + 40% N2 ) and stored for 14 days at 4°C. Also, the thermal inactivation was examined of inoculated mantı samples with bacterial cells of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus. The differences of physicochemical and microbial results were found significant (P < 0.05) among the samples, as affected by high pressure at the modified atmosphere package. In case of the consumer sensory evaluation regarding cooking, HHP processed samples (HHPR) were more liked than semi-processed (CR) samples (stored for 14 days at 4°C). Inoculated bacterial cells to mantı samples exhibited varying inactivation responds at different temperatures (55 to 75°C) of heat treatment. As a result, it has been found that the high hydrostatic pressure treatment is a promising process for the mantı packaged in the modified atmosphere, extending the 7-day storage time compared to the untreated control sample.
