    Effect of different raw materials on aroma fingerprints of 'boza' using an e-nose and sensory analysis
    (Wageningen Academic Publishers, 2019) Kemahlioğlu, K.; Kendirci, P.; Kadiroğlu, P.; Yücel, U.; Korel, F.
    Boza is a Turkish traditional beverage produced by fermentation of maize, rice, wheat, millet, cracked wheat, and durum clear flour. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different raw material combinations on the aroma fingerprints of boza samples using an electronic nose equipped with surface acoustic wave detector in combination with sensory analysis. According to flavour profile analysis of boza samples, significant differences were obtained among the samples. Hierarchical clustering analysis of e-nose and sensory analyses indicated that boza samples were clustered based on their aroma profiles, odour and taste properties revealing the effect of different cereals as raw materials. Rheological analysis showed that all boza samples exhibited pseudoplastic flow behaviour as the apparent viscosity decreased with increasing shear rate. This revealed that differences in raw materials did not change flow behaviour of boza samples. The results indicated that e-nose could be used as a fast and non-destructive method to assess the influence of raw material formulation on aroma profiles of boza samples in correlation with sensory analysis. © 2019 Wageningen Academic Publishers.

    Effects of an oral health program: Community-based education among mothers of young children living in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods
    (Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2020) Öcek, Z.; Eden, E.; Yücel, U.; Çiçeklioglu, M.
    INTRODUCTION: An oral health program for mothers starting from pregnancy in a disadvantaged district of İzmir was performed in 2013-2016. Dental behaviors and their determinants among intervention and control groups were compared in the third phase of the program. METHODS: This nonrandomized-controlled study was conducted in Phase 3. The intervention group began with 248 pregnant women; 69.4% (n = 172) of mothers with 6-9-month-old babies participated in Phase 2, 2014. At Phase 3 (18-24 months), 68.6% (n = 118) of mothers in the intervention group and 113 mothers living in another district as controls were included. Sociodemographic characteristics, determinants of behaviors, and outcomes defined as dental behaviors in the last week were assessed using a questionnaire. RESULTS: Regarding knowledge, perceived severity, and fatalistic beliefs, the intervention group had higher correct answer percentages. The percentage of mothers who could clean their children's teeth before sleep was higher in the intervention group (76.3%; P < 0.05), but the difference was lost by a child's resistance. The significant difference on avoiding bedtime nursing (65.3%) and sugary snacks (74.4%) in the intervention group disappeared with the obstacle of a child's protests or interference from relatives. In the intervention group, 32.2% of the mothers reported that they did not give any sugary snacks, 43.2% had never fed during sleep, and 26.3% cleaned their children's teeth during the last week. The results in the control group were 24.8%, 18.6%, and 8.8%, respectively (P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The program improved the mothers' views regarding the determinants of dental behaviors, but greater support against obstacles was needed. Social environmental support is planned for the following stages of the program. © 2020 Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications. All rights reserved.

    Impact of Perceived Social Support and Depression in Married Turkish Women on the Sexual Quality of Life: An Online Survey
    (Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2023) Gök, C.; Yücel, U.; Okuyan, Y.C.; Akmeşe, Z.B.
    Background: Sexual life is very important for people's physical health, psychological health, and reproductive health. Depression and social support are among the factors that affect the quality of sexual life. Aim: The present study aimed to determine the impact of perceived social support on the sexual quality of life and depression in married women between the ages of 18 and 49. Materials and Methods: A total of 976 married women aged 18 to 49 were included in this cross-sectional study in which an online data collection method was used Sexual Life Quality Scale, Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale, and Beck Depression Scale, which were used as data collection tools. Statistical analysis used: Analyses were performed using SPSS version 26.0. Descriptive statistics were used for number, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, as well as independent group t-test, correlation, and regression analysis. The 'Enter' model was used in the logistic regression analysis. Results: It was established that nearly one-third of married women aged 18-49 had low levels of perceived social support and sexual quality of life, and almost half of them experienced symptoms of depression. The quality of sexual life was 3.6 times (P = 0.001) lower in those with low social support and 1.6 times (P = 0.024) lower in those with depression. Conclusion: Considering the fact that women's sexual problems, low social support and depression are important predictors of sexual quality of life, special attention should be paid to increasing social support to women, handling women's sexual problems more carefully, and detecting and treating such problems. © 2023 Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice.
