    Biochemical Taste Parameters in Meat and Sea Products

    Kayim, M.; Cimen, M.; Can, E.; Kocabas, M.

    Flavour of meat or sea products is generally thought to consist of the volatile components sensed in the nose, both through the nostrils and from inside the mouth. Taste results from the combination of basic flavors (sweet, sour, bitter, salt and umami). The flavors and aromas associated with meat and sea foods are generally those that develop during heating and cooking. Animal products such as meat and sea foods have very complex composition and definition of their quality are very complicated. Different food components have different tastes. Sweet flavor in meat or sea products is derived from sugars, amino acids and organic acids. Carbohydrates generally taste sweet. Fats have little taste, but contribute mouth feel and carry odorants. Lipids have an effect on flavor perception, stability and generation. In this review, it was aimed to inform basic flavor parameters of animal products such as meat and sea foods.

    Studying the relationship between employees' occupational burnout levels and satisfaction of life: A research in private banks

    Cakinberk, Arzu

    This study was carried out to determine whether bank employees' burnout levels and satisfaction of life differentiate significantly according to certain variables and to reveal the relationship between them. Bank employees' satisfaction of life was measured by using Satisfaction of Life Scale and their burnout levels by Maslach Burnout Inventory. The main scope of research comprised of bank employees working in cities of Sivas and Tunceli. A total of 264 bank employees participated in this research. As a result of this research, it appeared that participants' satisfaction of life levels were generally high. When the mean scores obtained by them from burnout scale were scrutinized, it was observed that sample's emotional burnout and depersonalization levels were high and the personal accomplishment levels were medium. It was concluded in the research that there was a poor relationship between burnout and satisfaction of life. In addition, certain differences were discovered in each of the three sub dimensions of burnout levels of bank employees, in terms of variables such as gender, age, marital status, education and length of service.

    Use of Biochemical Markers in Capoeta trutta (Heckel, 1843) for the Assessment of Aquatic Pollution in Munzur River, Tunceli, Turkey

    Yildirim, N. C.; Danabas, D.; Ergin, C.

    The potential utility of biomarkers for monitoring both environmental quality and the health of organisms inhabiting polluted ecosystems has received increasing attention during the recent years. In this study. it was aimed to investigate the possible effect of pollution on biochemical parameters of Capoeta trutta captured in two environments with different levels of pollution in Munzur River, Tunceli, Turkey. One of them, hereby named reference site, there is no sewage discharge. Other side is denominated as polluted site is characterized by discharge of domestic sewage. Levels of amylase, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, cholesterol, albumin, total protein, direct bilirubin, total bilirubin, gamma-glutamyl tranferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, urea, creatinine, glucose, triglycerides and uric acid were checked in blood samples. Plasma biochemical changes showed significantly differences between reference and polluted sites in alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, cholesterol, alanine aminotransferase and glucose values. These results indicate that both domestic waste water and agricultural activities can alter the serum biochemical contents of Copeata trutta fish in Munzur River. Continuous production of pollutants resulting in impaired ability to respond to different environment stress factors and diseases. Present groups of researchers suggest that pollution levels should be monitored regularly.

    BIOACCUMULATION OF COPPER (II) AND CADMIUM (II) FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION BY PSEUDOMONAS PUTIDANRRL B-252

    Uslu, Gulsad; Gültekin, Gulden; Tanyol, Mehtap

    The bioaccumulation of copper (II) and cadmium (II) ions by viable P. putida was studied as a function of initial pH, temperature, initial glucose and initial metal ion concentration. Optimum pH value for maximum metal ion accumulation was determined to be 3.0 +/- 0.5 and 4.5 +/- 0.5 at 25 and 30 degrees C for each metal ion, respectively. At a constant glucose concentration, although the increase in initial copper (II) and cadmium (II) ion concentration up to approximately 25 mg L-1 increased bioaccumulation capacity of P. putida for both, all metal ion concentrations tested inhibited the growth of P. putida. High microbial growth and copper (II) and cadmium (II) accumulation yields were found at low initial metal ion concentrations. The cell and bioaccumulated metal ion concentrations and uptake yields in-creased with increasing glucose concentration up to 10 g L-1 at a constant metal ion level for each of the metal ions. Although both metal ions caused on inhibition effect on the growth of the microorganism, P. putida was capable of removing copper (II) and cadmium (II) with maximum specific uptake of 58.42 mg g-(1) and 34.65 mg g(-1) at 25 mg L-1 initial copper(II) and cadmium(II) level, respectively. The results also indicated that, P. putida was more efficient in accumulating larger amounts of cadmium (II) than copper (II) ions.

    Isoflavonoid production by soy plant callus suspension culture

    Gueven, Alper; Knorr, Dietrich

    Production of aglycone type isoflavonoids, Genistein and Daidzein, and p-glycosidic type isoflavonoids, Genistin and Daidzin, by the soy plant callus suspension culture was investigated in a batch system. Genistein and Daidzein concentrations increased during the exponential growth phase of the biomass. Genistin and Daidzin concentrations were not directly related with biomass production. Methyl jasmonate addition to the growth medium (0.1 kg/m(3)) was found to increase isoflavonoid biosynthesis by 5-6 times. Isoflavonoid production in the 7 days old culture increased with pulsed electric field (PEF) application at 1.6 kV, and aglycone forms were influenced to a greater extent. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

    THE EFFECT OF ATTACK ANGLE TO VORTEX SHEDDING PHENOMENON OF FLOW AROUND A SQUARE PRISM WITH A FLOW CONTROL ROD

    Akansu, Yahya Erkan; Özmert, Mehmet; Firat, Erhan

    In this study, the effect of attack angle on vortex shedding phenomena in the case of flow around the square prism as a bluff body and the circular rod which used as flow control component was experimentally investigated. While the value of attack angle equal to 0 degrees, the upstream control rod and square prism are in tandem arrangement to free stream. Experiments were conducted at Reynolds number of 1.0 x 10(4), for the diameter ratio of d/D=0.25, the attack angle between 0 degrees <= alpha <= 90 degrees, and the value of normalized distance between two prism LID is 1, 2, 3, and 4. The velocity measurements were conducted by means of constant temperature anemometer (CTA) as well as vortex shedding frequencies obtained by the spectral analysis of velocity-time history. Characteristics of the vortex formation region and location of flow attachments, reattachments, and separations were observed by means of the smoke-wire flow visualizations. At the angle of attack 0 degrees of the location L/D=2 and 3, the flow structure that possess high vorex shedding frequency which causes remarkable reductions on the drag force and significant increase in the heat transfer was obtained. This flow structure continous to decrease with increasing attack angle up to around 10 degrees. By further increasing of attack angle, the effect of flow control rod on vortex shedding frequency disappears completely.

    Status of freshwater crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus) in Iran

    Karimpour, M.; Harlioglu, M. M.; Aksu, O.

    Iranian native crayfish includes one crayfish species, Astacus leptodactylus, with two subspecies, A. l. leptodactylus (lives in freshwater) and A. l. eichwaldi (lives in the Caspian Sea with 12 ppt salinity). Only A. leptodactylus is commonly distributed in Iranian water resources. Nearly 80 years ago local fishermen started to catch Anzali Lagoon crayfish and sold them to foreigners and embassy employees. The consumption of crayfish in Iran is very low, approximately 1 t annually. The first commercially significant crayfish harvest in Iran was 11.3 t from Anzali Lagoon in 1985. It was carried out by a Turkish company. In 1985, the introduction of A. leptodactylus was started into suitable Iranian freshwaters. For example, crayfish from Anzali Lagoon were introduced into Arass water reservoir in 1985. Today, Arass water reservoir is the main resource of crayfish in Iran. There was no further crayfish harvest in Iran until 1993. In that year, a private Iranian company began harvesting the Iranian crayfish and exporting them to European countries. In 1993, 3.2 t of crayfish were exported from Iran. Although there have been fluctuations between years, the export of crayfish in Iran increased remarkably after 1996. The successful results of crayfish introductions gave rise to this increase. In 2003, the export of A. leptodactylus from Iran reached the maximum level (216 t). The commercial value of exported crayfish between 2000 and 2009 varied from 1.5-2.5 million US$ annually and its amount was 106-211.5 t. However, there was a reduction in the export of A. leptodactylus from Iran after 2003, to just above 100 t. In conclusion, in order to increase crayfish production in Iran, introduction of A. leptodactylus into suitable water resources, and management, conservation and monitoring of present crayfish populations should be carried out.
