The effect of electron beam irradiation on the survival and growth of Listeria monocytogenes and natural microflora in oven-roasted turkey breast rolls and turkey hams was evaluated. Slices of turkey breast rolls and hams were inoculated with a 5-strain mixture of L. monocytogenes to achieve 10(6) to 10(7) cfu/cm2; vacuum-packaged; irradiated at 0 (control), 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, or 2.5 kGy; and store...

Turkey has 75% of the total number of plant species found in Europe. It is this exceptional amount of biodiversity that places a huge responsibility on Turkey, to ensure that these species are adequately protected in order to prevent them from being endangered or becoming extinct. Of particular importance are species related to the crops on which much of world agriculture depends. Many of the f...

Turkish lakes have different morphometric and hydrological features as a result of climates noticeable altitude differences in Turkey that are necessary conditions to occur habitats for algal diversity. The total number algae taxa the flora has increased due growing studies on phytoplankton taxonomy ecology last 40 years. This study aims describe new planktonic freshwater flora. A 56 Ochrophyta...

Abstract Peatlands are one of the globally important ecosystems. Blanket bogs a type peatlands where water is generally supplied by meteorological events (rain, snow). We have been conducting first detailed algal flora study blanket Turkey and found new records algae genera ever given for Turkey.
