Kaplan Ince, Olcay; Ince, Muharrem
In present study, a novel approach was selected for benzo[a]anthracene determination from smoked cattle meat samples using solid phase extraction under various experimental conditions. To optimize experimental variables, a three factor, three-level Box–Behnken experimental design combining with response surface methodology and quadratic programming were employed to prevent excessive amount of benzo[a]anthracene formation in smoked meat based on different experimental parameters. The influence of some important process parameters including cooking time (10–30 min), fat ratio (5–25%) and distance to the cooking source (5–25 cm), which significantly affected the formation efficiency of benzo[a]anthracene were optimized. The analysis of variance was conducted for specifying the interactions of independent variables. The independent and the dependent variables interactions were investigated. The quadratic regression model and the response surface contour plots were used to determine optimum values for the selected variables. The results of study revealed that optimum cooking time of smoked cattle meat was determined as 24.9 min, fat ratio 7.9% and the distance to the cooking source 21.8 cm. Under optimum conditions, minimum benzo[a]anthracene was formed in meat and its amount was determined using high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrophotometer as qualitative and quantitative. The limit of detection and limit of quantitation values were calculated as 0.4 µg kg −1 and 1.1 µg kg −1 , respectively.

Karaaslan, Nagihan M.; Ince, Muharrem; Kaplan Ince, Olcay; Goksin Karaaslan, Merve
Allium tuncelianum (Tunceli garlic), an endemic and threatened plant species in the Tunceli province of Eastern Turkey, is an important native source for local people. The antioxidant activities of the acidified extracts of water, acetonitrile, methanol, and ethanol of Allium tuncelianum were investigated using five antioxidant capacity tests. The results indicated that methanol extract efficiencies of garlic samples using the ABTS, CUPRAC, and reducing power capacities were higher than the other extracts. Water extract and acetonitrile extract values were highest for total phenolic content and metal chelating activities, respectively. Moreover, the element contents such as calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), sodium (Na), and zinc (Zn) of Allium tuncelianum samples digested by microwave and ashing ovens were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry and the results were compared statistically. The Ca, Cu, K, Mg, and Zn concentrations using the microwave method were found to be higher than the ashing procedure. However, the Fe, Mn, and Na concentrations using the ashing method were found to be higher than those using the the microwave protocol.

Erguven, Gokhan Onder; Yildirim, Numan
Imidacloprid (C9H10ClN5O2) is used as the most recommended type of insecticide in vegetable farming worldwide. Two types of bacteria (Methylobacterium radiotolerans and Microbacterium arthrosphaerae) were isolated from a corn farming field in the Thrace region of Turkey, and then consortia of these bacteria were prepared from equal volumes of 107 CFU/ml for each bacterium type. Imidacloprid remediation studies were carried out during 18 days in soil test units. The water filtered from these soil test units was determined for chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) to determine the optimum concentration of microorganisms to ascertain the best removal efficiency of Imidacloprid. COD removal rates were 98.7%, 96.4% and 51.6% with 80, 40, and 20 ml volumes of the consortia of bacteria, respectively, at the end of 18 days. The BOD5 removal rates were 88.4%, 78.6% and 49.9% in the same volumes of bacteria, respectively. As a result of this study, we have found that this bacterial consortium is very effective for the bioremediation of this insecticide at the two volumes of 40 and 80 ml, both being better than 20 ml.

In the study, experiments were conducted to determine effects of green tea oil (Camellia sinensis) on the growth rate, feed utilization and hematological parameters of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Fish (76.25±2.75 g) were fed diets supplemented with different concentrations of green tea oil (%0.25, %0.5, %1.0). Weight gain (WG), feed conversion ratio (BDI) and some blood parameters were determined in the rainbow trout. It was determined that the values of WBC, GRAN, HGB, HCT, MCH, MCHC, PLT, PDW and PCT were increased with respect to control group at the end of 42 days feeding with green tea oil. However, groups treated with green tea oil stimulated megakaryocytes (increased PLC-R levels), which also increased platelet production. Feed evaluation ratio varied between 1.83-4.53. At the end of the experiment, it was determined that the feed evaluation ratio decreased with the increase of the amount of green tea oil in the groups. It is thought that the bioactive substances in the lipophilic property of green tea oil provide thermogenic stimulation in fishes by synergistic effect, which causes weight loss. Besides, it was determined that antioxidants such as hematopoiesis and catechins in hematopoietic organs of green tea oil act on the granulocyte cell group.

Özçiçek, Esin; Can, Erkan
Proteins, which are the most important substances in the structure of living organism, are polymers of aminoacids with their chemical qualities. Aminoacids can be converted into other substances during metabolism, and can be used in the synthesis of certain chemical structures that the body needs. While more than 90% of the amino acids in the structure of living organisms are present in the protein, the other part is found as free aminoacids in all tissues and body fluids. Fish cannot synthesize all the aminoacids in their body. Unsynthesised aminoacids must be given to fish with feed. The use of proteins in the embryological and larval stages is very important, and free aminoacids are one of the most important components of energy metabolism. Aminoacids are also used as quality indices for various fish species. Studies have shown that freshwater fish require especially essential amino acids. These; arginine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine. In this study; information on the importance of aminoacids in freshwater fish has been compiled.

Although fish consumption has positive health effects, metals accumulated in fish can cause human health risks. In this study, the levels of ten metals in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) farmed in the Keban Dam Reservoir, which has the biggest rainbow trout production capacity in Turkey, were determined and compared with the maximum permissible levels (MPLs). Also, human health risks associated with rainbow trout consumption were assessed. The metal concentrations in rainbow trout were found below the MPLs. The estimated daily intake of each metal was much lower than the respective tolerable daily intake. The target hazard quotient (THQ) for individual metal and total THQ for combined metals did not exceed 1, indicating no health risk for consumers. The cancer risk (CR) value for inorganic arsenic was within the acceptable lifetime risk range of 10−6 and 10−4. For carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic effects, the maximum allowable fish consumption rates were high enough to ensure the human health. According to these results, the consumption of rainbow trout farmed in the Keban Dam Reservoir does not pose a risk on human health.

The use of pesticides has been increased along with increasing the farming activities and has caused environmental impacts deleteriously. In particular, non-target organisms including fish can be affected by toxic effects of pesticides. Therefore, the impacts of malathion (MTN) on oxidative stress and sperm quality were investigated in vitro. The MTN concentrations used on this study were 0 (control), 75, 100, and 125 μg/L. Lipid peroxidation (MDA), non-enzymatic (GSH), and enzymatic (SOD, GSH-Px, and CAT) activities in spermatozoa were examined for determination of oxidative stress status. Our findings showed that motility rate and period of sperm cells significantly decreased with exposure to MTN. Biochemical assays revealed that CAT activity and levels of MDA, GSH increased in spermatozoa based on concentration while activity of GSH-Px and SOD decreased. Consequently, spermatozoa were highly sensitive to MTN exposure. MTN has disruptive effects on sperm quality and caused to oxidative stress in spermatozoa.
