    Comparison of in vitro antioxidant activities of kefir, yogurt, and cheese produced from goat milk
    (Elsevier, 2026) Uzkuc, Hasan; Saritas, Sumeyye; Uzkuc, Nesrin Merve Celebi; Yuceer, Yonca Karagul; Esatbeyoglu, Tuba
    This study compared the physicochemical characteristics and in vitro antioxidant activities of kefir, yogurt, and cheese produced from the same batch of goat milk using specific starter cultures. The physicochemical properties of the samples, as well as the antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC and FRAP) of the in vitro digested samples were analyzed. Additionally, low molecular weight (<3 kDa) peptide fractions were isolated to evaluate their contribution to antioxidant capacity. The highest antioxidant activities (mM Trolox/g protein) based on the CUPRAC assay were observed in yogurt (123.30), followed by kefir (116.05) and cheese (89.35). In contrast, the highest FRAP values were in cheese (22.74), followed by kefir (14.22) and yogurt (14.12). Low molecular weight (<3 kDa) peptide fractions generally showed antioxidant activity similar to or higher than that of the corresponding complete digest samples. Findings highlight the antioxidant potential of fermented goat milk products, especially cheese and kefir, for functional dairy applications.

    Development of Stable Microemulsions Containing Laurel Essential Oil Using Amylopectin and Gum Arabic as Natural Emulsifiers
    (Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh, 2025) Berber, Mehmet Mert; Uzkuc, Nesrin Merve Celebi; Uzkuc, Hasan; Kuzu, Kubra Tarhan; Hosoglu, Muge Isleten; Togay, Sine Ozmen; Toklucu, Aysegul Kirca
    This study aimed to develop food-grade microemulsions of laurel essential oil (L-EO) (MEs) stabilized with amylopectin (L-AP) and gum arabic (L-GA) and to determine characteristic properties of the MEs at different pH and temperatures during storage. L-EO was extracted using the microwave-assisted hydrodistillation technique. The prepared ME droplets ranged in size range from 328 to 347 nm in L-AP (pH 6.0) and from 327 to 432 nm in L-GA (pH 3.0). The total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity were 170.60 mg/L gallic acid equivalent (GAE) and 0.93 mM Trolox/mL in L-AP, respectively, while total phenolic content was 243.10 mg/L GAE and antioxidant capacity was 1.19 mM Trolox/mL in L-GA. Additionally, the MEs demonstrated relatively potent antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, and Staphylococcus aureus strains. The main volatile compounds of L-EO were identified as 1,8-cineole (33.4%), sabinene (8.4%), and linalool L (6.6%).
