    Bioactive Components of Berry Fruits and Their Effects on Human Health
    (Sidas Medya A.S., 2022) Bayram, Hatice Merve; Öztürkcan, Arda
    Berry fruits and their products are known as “functional foods” and have a growing interest in the food industry. Berries have high antioxidant capacity and anthocyanin contents in comparison to other fruits, and they are considered to have protective effects on human health by reducing the risks and symptoms of diseases. Although Turkey is in a prominent position with fruit production, having in the fifth place in the world according to the 2019 Turkey Statistical Institute (TUIK) data, the amount of berry fruit production is low, and its importance is still poorly understood. For this reason, it is very important to increase the interest in berry fruits, which are thought to have a positive effect on health, in our country, both scientifically and economically in order to increase their production. This review aims to evaluate the bioactive compounds of berry fruits and their health effects on human with clinical studies conducted in the last decade. To reach this goal, a literature search was conducted in DergiPark, PubMed, Elsevier and Google Scholar databases and a total of 32 international clinical studies were included in this non-systematic review. No clinical human study was found in Turkey. Results showed that berry fruits have anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetes effect and protective effect on the cardiovascular system, effect of improved lipid metabolism, anti-hypertension effect, and reducing effect of colon cancer symptoms and beneficial effects on microbiota by positively affecting human health. More clinical studies are needed to understand the exact mechanisms and long-term effects. © 2022 Sidas Medya A.S.. All Rights Reserved.

    CONSUMER ACCEPTANCE, ATTITUDE AND KNOWLEDGE STUDIES ON ALTERNATIVE PROTEIN SOURCES: INSIGHT REVIEW
    (2024) Can, Başak; Majoo, Fuzail; Öztürkcan, Arda
    As the world's population grows and climatic conditions worsen, the world's current resources are rapidly depleting. Human behavior exacerbates this adverse situation. One of these behaviors is traditional eating habits. A traditional diet that consists of animal-based proteins consumes more resources and pollutes the environment to a greater extent. The traditional diet, which consists of mostly animal-based proteins, may turn towards plant-based proteins. In addition to plant-based proteins, in recent years scientists have focused on exploring alternative protein sources that do not pollute the environment and require fewer resources. Plant-based proteins, algae, insect-based proteins, and cultured meat have all been identified in the literature as alternative protein sources that may be consumed alone (in dry or concentrated form) or added to foods. While alternative protein sources are still being developed, the consumer's opinion on these sources is being assessed. So, in this review, consumers' knowledge, acceptance, and attitude to alternative protein sources are discussed. Data shows that plant-based protein sources, including algae, are now widely claimed to be more accepted than traditional protein sources. It has also been established that most individuals are prejudiced toward insect-based protein and cultured meat due to lack of sufficient information.
