    Ground Urfa isot peppers with high content of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity
    (Agrimedia Gmbh, 2015) Kara, Meryem; Dinc, Saliha; Kahraman, Selma; Karipcin, M. Zeki; Alp, Irem; Cicekci, Hacer
    Urfa isot pepper is one of the most important spices in the diet of Turkish people; particularly of those in the Sanliurfa region. This is the first study reporting the bioactive compounds (beta-carotene, lycopene, ascorbic acid, phenolic compounds, capsaicin) and antioxidant activity of ground Urfa isot peppers produced both at homestads and factories. Factory-made red-blackish isot pepper showed the highest DPPH radical-scavenging activity, followed by homemade red-blackish isot pepper and homemade red isot pepper. FRAP values of all Urfa isot peppers were statistically in the same group. Homemade red isot pepper had the highest total phenolic content, lycopene and beta-carotene. The capsaicin content of ground Urfa isot peppers varied from 0.15-1.2 mg/g of pepper. The homemade red-blackish ground pepper had the highest ascorbic acid level. Phenolics of peppers were remarkable and higher than those reported in the literature. With their high number of phenolic constituents, as well as other bioactive compounds, ground Urfa isot peppers can be considered an important nutritional and functional food resource.

    High temperature-tolerant tomato lines: bioactive compounds
    (Springer International Publishing Ag, 2016) Karipcin, M. Zeki; Dinc, Saliha; Kara, Meryem; Kahraman, Selma; Alp, Irem; Cicekci, Hacer
    High global temperatures will be a great challenge for agricultural production in the near future. Therefore, adaptation of agricultural crops to the high temperatures or development of new heat-tolerant crops with known bioactive compounds is an important strategy for nutritional health and crop improvement programs. In this context, the bioactive compounds of newly developed high temperature-tolerant tomato lines were investigated in terms of lycopene, beta-carotene, ascorbic acid and phenolic compounds to assist breeders for the selection of high temperature tolerant tomato varieties with high nutritional quality. Nineteen tomato lines, including control varieties from the Turkey F1 Hybrid vegetable variety and quality line development project and the GAP Agricultural Research Institute, were selected for the investigation. Line 11 was superior in lycopene and beta-carotene content, while line 18 was superior in ascorbic acid content as compared to control varieties Cansun F1 and Alsancak RN F1. Urfa 2012 and line 28 were found to have the highest numbers of phenolic compounds. Chlorogenic acid, naringenin, trans-ferulic acid and rutin were key phenolic compounds detected in each of the tomato lines. These newly released tomato lines can be used as value-added germplasm or parent sources to develop new heat-tolerant cultivars in breeding programs or as commercial cultivars for their superior functional qualities.

    High temperature-tolerant tomato lines: bioactive compounds.
    (Journal für Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit, 2016) Karipcin, M. Zeki; Dinç, Sabiha; Kara, Meryem; Kahraman, S.; Alp, I.; Çiçekçi, H.
    The functional quality of newly developed high temperature tolerant tomato lines was investigated in terms of lycopene, ß-carotene, ascorbic acid and phenolic compounds to assist breeders for the selection of high temperature tolerant tomato varieties with high nutritional quality. 19 tomato lines including control varieties from the “Turkey F1 Hybrid vegetable variety and quality line development” project were selected for investigation. Line 11 was superior in lycopene and ß-carotene content while line 18 in ascorbic acid as compared to control varieties Cansun F1 and Alsancak RN F1. Urfa 2012 and line 28 were found to have the highest numbers of phenolic compounds. Chlorogenic acid, rutin and trans-ferulic acid were the main phenolic compounds detected in all tomato lines at high concentrations. These newly released tomato lines can be used as value-added germplasm or parents to develop new heat tolerant cultivars in a breeding programmes or as a commercial cultivar for their superior functional qualities.

    THE ROOTSTOCK EFFECTS ON AGRONOMIC AND BIOCHEMICAL QUALITY PROPERTIES OF MELON UNDER WATER STRESS
    (Parlar Scientific Publications (P S P), 2018) Dinc, Saliha; Kara, Meryem; Karipcin, M. Zeki; Sari, Nebahat; Can, Zehra; Cicekci, Hacer; Akkus, Mehmet
    In this study Edali F1 and Balhan Fl melons (Cucumis melo L.) grafted onto different rootstocks (TZ 148 and Jumbo) under water stress conditions (W1-100%, W2-50%, W3-25%). FRAP (Ferric reducing antioxidant power) values increased with the use of TZ 148 and Jumbo rootstocks. At water stress, grafting generally increased ascorbic acid values. Maximum beta-carotene amount was stated for Balhan Fl with W3 level and the beta-carotene values of Balhan/TZ148 melons increased with water stress. p-hydroxybenzoic acid was the compound with the highest quantity among the tested phenolic compounds. Citric, maleic, fumaric and formic acid quantities increased with enhancement of water deficiency whereas tartaric, succinic and acetic acid decreased. Fructose and saccharose quantity decreased as the amount of water given to plant decreased but glucose level was not affected. Consequently, grafting of melons onto favorable rootstocks seems to enhance the amount of health related compounds under water stress conditions.
