  Simultaneous Leaching and Kinetics of Cu and Zn from Malachite Ore in NH3-NH4NO3 Solutions

  Bakici, Zümra; Baysar, Ahmet; Demİrkiran, Nİzamettİn

  The simultaneous leaching behavior and kinetics of copper and zinc from malachite were investigated in NH3-NH4NO3 buffer solutions at pH 9.8. The effects of solution concentration, temperature, stirring speed, average particle size, and solid to liquid ratio on the leaching rate were examined. It was observed that the leaching rate of copper and zinc increased with an increase in the solution concentration, temperature, stirring speed, and with a decrease in the solid to liquid ratio and particle size. The findings showed that copper was leached nearly completely depending on the experimental conditions while zinc was dissolved partially. While the concentration of NH3-NH4NO3, temperature, stirring speed, average particle size, solid to liquid ratio, and time were 0.38/0.11 M, 40°C, 500 rpm, 214 µm, 5/500 g/mL, and 240 min, respectively, and the amount of the leached copper and zinc was calculated to be 83.0% and 43.4%, respectively. It was determined that the leaching kinetics fit a mixed-kinetic model. The activation energy values were found to be identical for both copper and zinc leaching (16.22 kJ/mol). The process was determined to be weakly dependent on temperature, with diffusion playing a significant role in the overall leaching process.

  Effects of sulfuring, drying and storage on the formation of α-dicarbonyl compounds and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in dried apricots

  Aktağ, Işıl Gürsul; Cömert, Ezgi Doğan; Gökmen, Vural

  This study investigated the impact of sulfuring, various drying methods, and storage with different packaging on the formation of α-dicarbonyl compounds and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in dried apricots. Changes in the concentrations of α-dicarbonyl compounds, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, sugars, and color were monitored in the samples (sulfured/non-sulfured, oven-/sun-dried, polyethylene/vacuum/modified atmosphere packaging) during storage at room temperature for 12 months. Among α-dicarbonyl compounds, 3-deoxyglucosone was the most prevalent, reaching 1356.8 ± 70.6 mg/kg dry matter in sulfured oven-dried apricots after drying. Methylglyoxal reached its peak at 723.2 ± 9.9 mg/kg dry matter in sulfured sun-dried apricots after storage. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural remained at significantly lower levels than the dominant α-dicarbonyl compounds. Both α-dicarbonyl compounds and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural increased significantly during storage, irrespective of packaging, while sulfuring influenced the type of α-dicarbonyl compounds formed. These findings underscore the significance of processing and storage in influencing α-dicarbonyl compounds accumulation, providing valuable insights into maintaining the safety and quality of dried apricots.

  Multi-Response Kinetic Modeling of the Maillard Reaction in Milk During Heating at Ultra-High-Temperature Range

  Hamzalıoǧlu, Aytül; Aktaǧ, Işıl; Gökmen, Vural

  This study developed first a comprehensive multiresponse kinetic model to elucidate the mechanism of the Maillard reaction in milk during ultrahigh-temperature treatment. The model incorporates the alterations in precursors (sugars, amino acids), intermediates (α-dicarbonyl and Amadori compounds) and products (N-ε-carboxymethyllysine, N-ε-carboxyethyllysine) that occur in milk during heating between 110 and 140 °C. Kinetically important reactions steps were identified by multiresponse kinetic modeling. Results indicated that N-ε-carboxymethyllysine and N-ε-carboxyethyllysine were formed predominantly by the oxidation of lactulosyllysine. Among the intermediates, the formation of 1-deoxyglucosone and glucosone, and methylglyoxal from 1-deoxyglucosone and glyoxal from glucosone, were determined to be the kinetically important steps. The rate-limiting step was identified as lactulosyllysine formation, while methylglyoxal generation occurred most rapidly across all heating temperatures. In this study, the multiresponse kinetic modeling approach was applied to milk, offering a comprehensive understanding of the critical pathways leading to the formation of α-dicarbonyl compounds and advanced glycation end-products.

  Milk Production Curves Obtained from Cows Raised in Türkiye According to Years and Determination of Production Differences with the Help of Cluster Analysis and Friedman Test

  Çimen, Murat; Güven, Alper

  In the study, cluster analysis and Friedman tests were used to create curves for cow milk yields in Türkiye between 2010-2023 and to determine yield differences. For this purpose, milk yield records obtained from TUIK for the years in question were used. Since data before 2010 could not be accessed, 2010 was taken as the starting date. When the figures obtained in the study are examined, it is striking that the years generally show similar curves. These curves generally show a decrease from January to February, then an increase until May. Milk yield values, which reach their peak in May, decrease again until November. After this month, a new increase is noted in December. The months showing maximum and minimum values in the graphs of 2016 and 2017 are different. Therefore, different curves were obtained for these years compared to other years. When the curves of all years, cluster analysis and Friedman test results are examined in general, it can be said that the highest production was determined in May and the lowest production in November. The reason for these differences should be investigated for the years 2016 and 2017, when different curve results were obtained. The findings of this study are important in terms of providing preliminary information for those who will conduct model studies on milk production in our country. In addition to the evaluation of curve graphs, it has been seen from the research findings that different statistical techniques such as cluster analysis and Friedman test give effective results in this type of data. Both cluster analysis and Friedman test methods are test methods that can be used safely in new studies where curve graphs will be made.

  Examination of Numerical Changes in Goat and Buffalo Population in TRB1 Region with Cluster Analysis; [Examination of Numerical Changes in Goat and Buffalo Population in TRB1 Region with Cluster Analysis]

  Çimen, Murat; Güven, Alper

  In this study, the effectiveness of using cluster analysis in determining the changes in the number of animals in the field of goat and buffalo breeding in the TRB1 region was tested. The numbers of goats and buffalos used in the research were obtained from the records kept by TÜİK between 2004 and 2023. According to the cluster analysis results, the numbers of buffalos in Elazığ and Bingöl provinces was found to be higher than Malatya and Tunceli provinces between 2004 and 2023. According to the specified years, while Bingöl province was found to be higher than other provinces in terms of the numbers of goats, it was determined that Malatya province had the lowest values. When analyzed by year, the numbers of buffalos in the provinces of the TRB1 region for the years 2004-2006 was found to be higher than the following years. In other words, it is understood that the numbers of buffalos has been decreasing in the TRB1 region since 2007. In the TRB1 region, goat numbers between 2012-2023 were found to be higher than those between 2004-2011. Accordingly, it can be said that there has been an increase in the number of goats in the TRB1 region since 2012. In the TRB1 region, appropriate regulations need to be made, taking into account the differences between provinces and years in terms of the numbers of buffalos and goats. In this study, it was seen that cluster analysis could be used successfully in determining the differences in animal numbers according to provinces and years.

  Green Synthesis of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube-Reinforced Hydroxyapatite Doped with Silver and Silver-Core Selenium-Shell Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Characterization, and Biological Activity

  Unal, İlkay

  Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is widely used in biomedical applications due to its biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, and bioactivity. However, its low mechanical strength, tendency toward rapid corrosion, and lack of bactericidal properties present significant limitations in applications. This study aimed to improve the properties of HAp by reinforcing it with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and doping it with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and silver-core selenium-shell nanoparticles (Ag@SeNPs). Ocimum basilicum extract was used as both a reducing and stabilizing agent in the synthesis of nanoparticles using an environmentally friendly and non-toxic method as an alternative to traditional methods. The synthesized HAp, HAp/MWCNT, Ag-HAp/MWCNT, and Ag@Se-HAp/MWCNT nanocomposites were characterized by TEM, SEM, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, and BET analysis. BET analysis showed a reduction in surface area from 109.4 m2/g for pure HAp to 71.4 m2/g, 47.5 m2/g, and 35.3 m2/g for HAp/MWCNTs, Ag- HAp/MWCNTs, and Ag@Se-HAp/MWCNTs, respectively. Antimicrobial activities against P. aeruginosa, E. coli, S. aureus, E. faecalis, and C. albicans were evaluated. HAp and HAp/MWCNT did not show any antimicrobial activity, while Ag-HAp/MWCNTs showed inhibition zones of 14 mm for Escherichia coli and 18 mm for Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 5 mg/mL. Ag@Se-MWCNTs/HAp exhibited superior efficacy with inhibition zones of 18 mm, 12 mm, and 20 mm for S. aureus, E. faecalis, and Candida albicans, respectively. The incorporation of Ag@SeNPs enhanced HAp’s antibacterial and antifungal properties through a synergistic mechanism.

  Evaluation of the Effect of Different Extraction Temperatures on the Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles from Ocimum basilicum (Basil) Plant

  Aydogdu, Burcu; Unal, Ilkay

  The eco-friendly green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Ocimum basilicum (basil) extract at varying extraction temperatures (40°C, 60°C, 80°C, 100°C) was investigated to determine the optimal conditions for nanoparticle formation. Analysis methods such UV-Vis spectrophotometry, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and TransmissionElectron Microscopy (TEM) confirmed the crystalline, spherical nature of AgNPs and identified phytochemicals acting as capping and reducing agents. Notably, the extraction temperature was found to influence both the DPPH radical scavenging activity and the structural properties of AgNPs. According to TEM analysis results, it was observed that high extraction temperatures increased the nanoparticle formation efficiency but created a wide size distribution. The crystallite sizes, calculated using the Scherrer equation, for AgNPs synthesized at different extraction temperatures, were determined to be 12.45 nm, 18.77 nm, 17.76 nm, and 16.03 nm, respectively. The hydrodynamic sizes of the AgNPs were found to range between 158.1 and 333.7 nm. The study highlights the critical role of extraction temperature in the synthesis process, suggesting 40°C as the optimal temperature for achieving efficient and environmentally friendly synthesis of AgNPs with enhanced biological activities.

  Modeling changes in the quality attributes of couscous cooked with ohmic heating

  Sabanci, Serdal; Işık, Erdem; Goksu, Ali; Omaç, Basrı

  Kinetic studies on the quality alters of couscous are crucial to the suitable design of ohmic heating treatment. Hence, it was targeted to build mathematical models to forecast the changes in quality attributes of couscous cooked using ohmic heating (OH) in the present study. In addition, the average power and total energy for cooking couscous with OH at a voltage gradient of 17 V/cm were determined. Three dissimilar kinetic models—zero, first, and second—were fitted to the data. Our findings showed that, for the ohmic heating system, as cooking time increased, energy consumption increased while heating system efficacy declined. The best model to reflect the changes in color parameters was the second-order model, while the zero-order model best fit the experimental data observed for the cooking loss, moisture content, and weight increase (%). For all TPA parameters, however, neither model yielded the greatest fit.
