    Glycyrrhiza genus: Enlightening phytochemical components for pharmacological and health-promoting abilities
    (Hindawi Limited, 2021-07-26) Sharifi-Rad, J.; Quispe, C.; Herrera-Bravo, J.; Belén, L. H.; Kaur, R.; Kregiel, D.; Uprety, Y.; Beyatli, A.; Yeskaliyeva, B.; Kırkın, Celale; Özçelik, B.; Sen, S.; Acharya, K.; Sharopov, F.; Cruz-Martins, N.; Kumar, M.; Razis, A. F.

    The Glycyrrhiza genus, generally well-known as licorice, is broadly used for food and medicinal purposes around the globe. The genus encompasses a rich pool of bioactive molecules including triterpene saponins (e.g., glycyrrhizin) and flavonoids (e.g., liquiritigenin, liquiritin). This genus is being increasingly exploited for its biological effects such as antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, and cytotoxic activities. The species Glycyrrhiza glabra L. and the compound glycyrrhizin (glycyrrhizic acid) have been studied immensely for their effect on humans. The efficacy of the compound has been reported to be significantly higher on viral hepatitis and immune deficiency syndrome. This review provides up-to-date data on the most widely investigated Glycyrrhiza species for food and medicinal purposes, with special emphasis on secondary metabolites' composition and bioactive effects.

    Anacardium plants: chemical, nutritional composition and biotechnological applications
    (MDPI, 2019-09) Salehi, B.; Gultekin-Ozgueven, M.; Kırkın, Celale; Ozcelik, B.; Bezerra Morais-Braga, M. F.; Pereira Carneiro, J. N.; Bezerra, C. F.; da Silva, T. G.; Melo Coutinho, H. D.; Amina, B.; Armstrong, L.; Selamoglu, Z.; Sevindik, M.; Yousaf, Z.; Sharifi-Rad, J.; Muddathir, A. M.; Devkota, H. P.; Martorell, M.; Jugran, A. K.; Martins, N.; Cho, W. C.; Gastronomy and Culinary Arts; KIRKIN, Celale
    Anacardium plants are native to the American tropical regions, and Anacardium occidentale L. (cashew tree) is the most recognized species of the genus. These species contain rich secondary metabolites in their leaf and shoot powder, fruits and other parts that have shown diverse applications. This review describes the habitat and cultivation of Anacardium species, phytochemical and nutritional composition, and their industrial food applications. Besides, we also discuss the secondary metabolites present in Anacardium plants which display great antioxidant and antimicrobial effects. These make the use of Anacardium species in the food industry an interesting approach to the development of green foods.

    Antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer effects of anacardium plants: An ethnopharmacological perspective
    (Frontiers Media, 2020-06-12) Salehi, B.; Gultekin-Ozguven, M.; Kırkın, Celale; Ozcelik, B.; Morais-Braga, M. F. B.; Carneiro, J. N. P.; Bezerra, C. F.; Silva, T. G. D.; Coutinho, H. D.

C.; Martins, N.; Gastronomy and Culinary Arts; KIRKIN, Celale
    Anacardiumplants have received increasing recognition due to its nutritional and biological properties. A number of secondary metabolites are present in its leaves, fruits, and other parts of the plant. Among the diverseAnacardiumplants' bioactive effects, their antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities comprise those that have gained more attention. Thus, the present article aims to review the Anacardium plants' biological effects. A special emphasis is also given to their pharmacological and clinical efficacy, which may trigger further studies on their therapeutic properties with clinical trials.

    Modified atmosphere packaging and gamma‐irradiation of some herbs and spices: Effects on antioxidant and antimicrobial properties
    (Wiley, 2018-08) Kırkın, Celale; Güneş, G.; Gastronomy and Culinary Arts; KIRKIN, Celale
    Thyme, rosemary, black pepper, and cumin were packaged in 100% N2 (MAP) or air (AP) and gamma-irradiated at 0, 6, or 14 kGy. The changes in antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of their essential oils and methanol extracts were determined. Irradiation decreased the total phenolic content of AP samples (except thyme). Irradiation increased the 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity in thyme extract and cumin essential oil in AP, but it decreased the activity in cumin extract (MAP). Ferric reducing antioxidant power was increased in rosemary (MAP) and thyme (MAP and AP) essential oils and rosemary (MAP and AP) and black pepper (AP) extracts, whereas it was decreased in the thyme extract (MAP) by irradiation. Irradiation increased the β-carotene-linoleic acid bleaching based antioxidant activity in essential oils of thyme (AP) and black pepper (MAP), but it decreased the activity in cumin extract (MAP). Irradiation increased antimicrobial activities of thyme and cumin essential oils. Practical applications: Gamma-irradiation is frequently used in sterilization of herbs and spices, but it may affect some of their quality attributes. The irradiation-induced changes in the quality depend on atmosphere (especially on O2 level) during the treatment and thus can be controlled by modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). The effects of the combination of gamma-irradiation and MAP on antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of thyme, rosemary, black pepper and cumin are evaluated. Irradiation had an enhancing effect on the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of the samples in most cases and can be applied under O2-free modified atmospheres.

    Effects of tarragon essential oil on some characteristics of frankfurter type sausages
    (AIMS Press, 2019) Kırkın, Celale; Inbat, Seher Melis; Nikolov, Daniel; Yildirim, Sabah; Gastronomy and Culinary Arts; KIRKIN, Celale; Inbat, Seher Melis; Nikolov, Daniel; Yildirim, Sabah
    Tarragon (Artemisia dracunlus) essential oil was obtained from fresh leaves by hydrodistillation. The isolated essential oil was added to frankfurter type sausages at a concentration of 0.1% (v/w). Samples without the essential oil were used as control. The effects of the addition of the tarragon essential oil on the sensory properties, such as odor, color intensity, flavor, spiciness, hardness and overall acceptance of the sausages were evaluated using a hedonic scale and compared to the control. In addition to the hedonic test, a sensory triangle test was conducted. The CIE L*, a* and b* values of the samples were also measured. The addition of the essential oil did not cause any changes in the odor, color intensity, and hardness of the frankfurters. The spiciness of the frankfurter samples added with the essential oil was higher than the control. However, the flavor and overall acceptability of the control samples were higher compared to that of the essential oil containing samples. The difference between the treatments was also significant according to the triangle test. The addition of the tarragon essential oil did not cause any changes in the instrumentally measured color values of the sausages.
