The main purpose of this study is to develop and optimize a method based on the hydroalcoholic solvent extraction of rosmarinic acid (RA) which is an important active component in the polyphenolic profile of the plant and, stands out with its antioxidant, antibacterial, and antiviral properties, and other antioxidant components. Soft computing-based chemometric studies are needed to model and optimize complex processes such as extraction. In this study, the extraction conditions of bioactive RA from Ocimum bacilicum L., a valuable medicinal aromatic plant source, with green and simple technique, were modeled and optimized using chemometric methods. Additionally, it was also aimed to evaluate the potential of RA in O. basilicum with the amount of Total phenolic substance (TFM) and Total antioxidant activity (TAA). In the study, RSM-CCD/small factorial design was used, multi-response optimization was solved with the help of Pareto solutions, and the Desirability function was used to determine the optimum input variable values. As a result, optimum conditions of O. basilicum L. extraction, 47.7% EtOH concentration, 30.0 °C temperature, 77.6 min extraction time, and 10 mL/g solvent/solid ratio were found. Experimental results obtained under optimum conditions were 171.46±1.87 mg GAE/g, 4.76±0.32 mg Trolox/mL, and 8.93±0.65 mg/g for TPC, TAA and RA, respectively. The predicted results from the mathematical model were (172.26 mg GAE/g), (4.13 mg Trolox/mL) and (8.89 mg/g), respectively.

Corn snacks are commonly produced and consumed snack foods. The nutritional and functional properties of extruded snacks that were produced using corn semolina are rather poor. In this study, the effects of wheat bran addition to extruded corn snack formulation were investigated. For this purpose, the extrusion conditions were first optimized using Central Composite Design - Response Surface Methodology (CCD-RSM), based on the physical properties of the products (hardness, crispness, brittleness, expansion rate, apparent density and porosity). Upon optimization, the best extruded snack production conditions were determined (moisture content of the mixture 14%, die temperature 120°C, bran: corn semolina ratio 10%, corn starch: bran + corn semolina ratio 10%) and the results were verified via experimental studies. Then, the bran ratio of the mixture was gradually increased from 10% to 22% and 5 different extruded snacks with varying bran contents (10%, 13%, 16%, 19% and 22% bran) were produced . Chemical composition (moisture, protein, fat and ash) and nutritional properties (phytic acid, dietary fiber, total phenolic substance and total antioxidant capacity) of the extruded corn snacks with bran additions (ECSwBA) were determined. The addition of bran at the optimized rate (%10) positively affected the physical properties of extruded corn snacks. Further increase in the bran addition partially weakened the physical properties of corn snacks. However, as the bran addition ratio increased, the nutritional and functional properties of the extruded corn snacks increased significantly.

Sideritis niveotomentosa Hub. -Mor. is a local endemic species belonging to the Lamiaceae family. In this study, GC/MS analysis, total antioxidant capacity and anticancer effects of different extracts obtained from S. niveotomentosa were investigated comparatively. Total phenolic contents of extracts were determined by the Folin–Ciocalteu method, total flavonoid contents by aluminum chloride method, and also the free radical scavenging activities of the extracts by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate) assay. The cytotoxic effect of the extracts was studied via MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-Diphenyltetrazolium Bromide) assay on DLD1, HL60 and ARH77 cell lines. Pro-apoptotic gene expression levels were also tested in the most sensitive cell line ARH77 by Real-Time PCR. The expression levels of 4 pro-apoptotic genes, APAF, BAX, CASP3, and HRK were found to be upregulated in ARH77 cells that were treated extracts. Results showed that methanolic extracts contain more phenolic content than acetone extracts, consistent with DPPH results. As a result, Sideritis niveotomentosa extracts, especially methanolic extracts, are rich in phenolic content and have a strong radical scavenging effect. In addition, the extracts showed selective effects on cell lines. This study is pioneering in terms of future studies, and the findings provide hope for future experimentation.
