Savaş Aslan | Recep Kara | Hilmi Yaman
Probiyotik gıdalar, sindirim sisteminin çalışmasına yardımcı olan canlı mikroorganizmaları içeren gıdalardır. Bu gıdaların tüketimi sağlığın korunmasına ve bağışıklık sisteminin güçlenmesine olumlu katkı sağlamaktadır. Yapılan bu çalışma, probiyotik ürünlerin tüketim durumu ile tüketicilerin probiyotik ürünler hakkındaki bilgi düzeyini saptamak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda ankete katılan bireylerin %51,7’si bayanlardan, %48,3’ü erkeklerden oluşurken yaşları 18 ile 65 arasında tespit edilmiştir. Probiyotik ürünler hakkında bilgiye erkekler %31,4 oranında sahip iken bayanlar %61,1 oranında sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca öğrenim seviyelerinin ve ekonomik durumların artışına bağlı olarak probiyotik ürünler hakkında bilgi seviyesinin anlamlı derecede arttığı görülmüştür. Probiyotik ürünleri tüketenlerin oranı %26,0 iken tüketenlerden fayda gördüğünü düşünen bireyler %79,1 olarak belirlenmiştir. Ek olarak probiyotik ürünleri tüketenlerin %77,3’ü bu ürünlerin doğal olduğunu düşünmektedir. Sonuç olarak probiyotik ürünlerin sağlığımıza olumlu katkısı olmasına rağmen tüketimi ve hakkındaki bilgi yeterli seviyede değildir. Kişilerin öğrenim seviyesi ve ekonomik refahı yükseldikçe probiyotik ürün tüketimi ve bilgi düzeyi artmaktadır. Bu nedenle buna benzer toplumun bilgisini ölçmeye dönük çalışmaların periyodik olarak yapılması önerilmektedir.

Nuray Şahinler | Nesibe özge Toy
Beekeeping, which is a livestock branch made depending on nature, is to collect nectar from many vegetable sources from various regions, and to transform them into different bee products in the most economical and appropriate seasonal periods. Many products are obtained with beekeeping. The contribution of these products to the economy is very high. The use of bee products on human health has also increased in recent years. Apart from these, bees also make important contributions to the ecosystem. They are pollinators of many plant species existing in the world and they also serve as pollinators of many fruits and vegetables produced in greenhouses. Thanks to the pollinatorship of bees, the quality of the products obtained is increasing. Again, with its pollinator function, bees ensure the continuity of many endangered plants, and play an important role in ecosystem balance by increasing plant and animal diversity. Bees are not only involved in the pollination of plants that need an external pollinator, but also the product quality and quantity are increased in many plants that perform their own pollination. In this review, the importance of bees in pollination and the effect of global warming on bees are mentioned.

2020
Aslı Albayrak | Gülden Başyiğit Kılıç
Consumer demands for raw or unprocessed foods increased due to consumers’ awareness of the importance of a healthy life. However, searching alternative techniques instead of heat treatment is an important issue for the industry in order to enhance the microbiological quality. Non-thermal techniques are encouraged because of their effectiveness on the preservation of natural aroma, flavor and microbiological quality without causing any change in the structure of the product. Plasma technology is one of these alternative techniques. Plasma technology, known as the fourth state of matter, is known as the partial ionization of positive and negative ions, free radicals, charged particles and molecules in electron and photon form. Plasma is usually forms or formed by electric or electrical discharge or by a strong radiation effect. Plasma is classified according to its temperature, thermal equilibrium, and pressure. Cold plasma technique is used in foods for contaminated surfaces and cleaning of medical instruments. In this review, plasma technology applied to foods and their effects are presented.

2019
Gungor Karakas
Food waste and loss is an ecological, economic and social problem. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization states that approximately one third of all edible foods produced for human consumption are wasted or lost after harvest. The aim of this study is to determine the factors affecting food waste behavior of consumers. In order to reach this aim, a questionnaire was conducted with 583 people in November and December of 2018 in Çorum province. The obtained data were analyzed and explained through Structural Equation Models. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, a 5-factor structure explaining 76,612% of the total variance was obtained. These factors were named as norm, intention, result awareness, purchasing behavior and planning. These factors were found to have validity, reliability and internal consistency. In addition, it was investigated whether the factors were compatible with the fit indices by means of Confirmatory Factor Analysis. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, it was determined that the obtained factors met the fit indices values. As a result of Confirmatory Factor Analysis, it was determined that the obtained factors met the fit index values. The effect of the factors on the relationship between each other and the waste behavior were measured by means of the path analysis. As a result of this study, although consumers have positive statements regarding consequence awareness, intent and norms, they have been determined to be unstable in planning and purchasing. Besides, although there was a direct effect of intent and result awareness on waste behavior, it was determined that planning and norms had indirect effects. Considering that the intention is the most influential factor on waste behavior, it should be focused on the activities that will create result awareness in society.

Yasemin Torlak | Rukiye Ayranci | Metin Ak
In continuous monitoring and control systems as required by automation, biosensors are greatly advantageous with their precision, stability, ease of use and response rates. In this study, a new amperometric glucose sensor has been fabricated based on a composite film prepared by electrochemical polymerization of carbazole derivative with having free amino group in presence of the Keggin type polyoxometalate (POM) anion, (nBu4N)3[PW9O34(tBuSiOH)3], in order to meet the needs of the sector. The enzymatic biosensor was prepared by immobilizing the Glucose Oxidase (GOx) enzyme to the surface modified with the POM/PAAC composite. Biosensor preparation and working conditions were optimized and analytical characterizations was carried out. The amperometric response of the POM/PAAC-GOx modified electrode versus varying concentrations of glucose was studied at a potential value of −0.7 V (Ag/AgCl). When the data obtained from these surfaces can be prepared in a short time, it was determined that they are sensitive to the presence of glucose in food samples such as cola and fruit juice. One of the innovations of this study is the shortening of the response time and the easy preparation of the biosensor. In addition to high linearity, short response time and long shelf life advantages in determining the glucose content in foods, it is thought that it will be an economical alternative with its easy preparation, ease of application and time and chemicals gain in measurements.
