Musa ?zcan 한국식품영양과학회 2003 Journal of medicinal food Vol.6 No.3

The antioxidant efficacy of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalisL.), sage (Salvia fruticosaL.), and sumac (RhuscoriariaL.) extracts and combinations at 4% concentrations (wt/vol, extract/oil) were investigated. Methanolic extracts ofrosemary, sage, sumac, and their combinations were applied to peanut oil stored at 80° C for 24 h. The antioxidant effect wasdetermined by measuring the peroxide value. All extracts showed antioxidant effects compared with control. But the antiox-idant effect of all extracts was low compared with that of butylated hydroxytoluene. Rosemary extract (except for 3 and 4 h)exhibited the most antioxidant effect compared with other individual extracts. Of blends, the most effective ones were sageplus sumac combinations. Sumac extract is also promising as a source of natural antioxidants.

Musa Özcan 한국식품영양과학회 2005 Journal of medicinal food Vol.8 No.3

Major and minor mineral contents of young shoots, flower buds, caperberries (fruit), and seeds of CapparisovataDesf. var. canescens(Coss.) Heywood, used as a pickling product in Turkey, were determined by inductively coupledplasma atomic emission spectrometry. Twenty-one minerals were assayed in samples. All materials contained high amountsof Ca, K, Mg, Na, P, Pb, and Zn. The highest levels of Ca (598.3416,947.1 ppm), K (3,093.128,163.9 ppm), Na (57.9444.3ppm), P (1,690.54,153.9 ppm), and Zn (21.135.6 ppm) were found in flower buds. The content of K was high in most casesand ranged from 28,163.9 ppm (flower bud) to 3,093.1 ppm (caper seed). Ba, Cd, Cr, Cu, Li, Ni, Pb, and Se contents of ca-per plant organs were found to be very low. Consequently, caper parts were rich in minerals, and they may be valuable forfood uses. The results may also be useful for the evaluation of nutritional information.

Musa ?can 한국식품영양과학회 2003 Journal of medicinal food Vol.6 No.1

The antioxidant activities of sumach (Rhus coriaria L.) extracts and butylated hydroxyanisole(BHA) at various concentrations were tested in natural peanut oil stored at 65° C for 35 days.The concentrations (weight/volume) of extracts aded into oil were 1.0%, 3.0%, and 5.0%, andthose of BHA were 0.1%, 0.3%, and 0.5%. Antioxidant effect was determined by the mea-surement of peroxide value. After 7 days of storage, BHA and extracts of sumach were activein varying degres against autoxidation of peanut oil, compared with the control test (P ,.01). The sumach extracts generally inhibited the formation of hydroperoxide, as did BHA.After 28 days of storage, antioxidant effects of extracts were significantly decreased whencompared with BHA. The decrease in the antioxidant activity of extracts might have resultedfrom the decrease of polyphenolic constituents. The results showed that high concentrationscan enhance the potency of the antioxidant effect of sumach extract.63

Effect of Different Locations on the Chemical Composition of Essential Oils of Laurel (Laurus nobilis L.) Leaves Growing Wild in Turkey

Musa Özcan,Jean-Claude Chalchat 한국식품영양과학회 2005 Journal of medicinal food Vol.8 No.3

The essential oil components of Laurus nobilisgathered from seven different locations of Turkey were iden-tified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The oil yields on a dry weight basis ranged between 1.4% to 2.6%. The ma-jor component was 1,8-cineole (51.7368.48%); other predominant components were .-terpinyl acetate (4.049.87%), sabinene(4.447.75%), .-pinene (2.934.89%), .-pinene (2.583.91%), terpinene-4-ol (1.333.24%), and .-terpineol (0.953.05%).Minor qualitative and major quantitative variations of some compounds were determined with respect to localities of collec-tion. As a result, the 1,8-cineole content of these oils was significantly higher than those of other constituents of L. nobilis.Laurel is usually considered as the natural source of this compound, used in the flavor and fragrance industry.

Inhibition of Aspergillus parasiticus NRRL 2999 by Pollen and Propolis Extracts

Musa ?can 한국식품영양과학회 2004 Journal of medicinal food Vol.7 No.1

The inhibitory effects on mycelial growth of Aspergillus parasiticusstrain NRRL 2998 of pollen and propo-lis extracts from different regions of Turkey were investigated in culture media. The least active concentration towards thetested fungus was 2% of both extracts. But, the inhibitory effects of all propolis extracts on mycelial growth were higher whencompared with pollen extracts. While the effect of a 5% level of Antakya propolis extract increased with increasing incuba-tion period, the antifungal effect of pollen extract from the same region on mycelial growth was less than that of the controlgroup. As a result, none of the extracts tested completely inhibited mycelial growth. The highest inhibition rate was estab-lished at the 5% level of Tas¸ kent and Alanya propolis samples.

Asymmetric Relationship between Inflation and Remittance Outflows in Saudi Arabia: A NARDL Approach

Musa FOUDEH(Musa FOUDEH ),Bashier AL-ABDULRAZAG(Bashier AL-ABDULRAZAG ) 한국유통과학회 2023 The Journal of Asian Finance, Economics and Busine Vol.10 No.1

The paper aims to investigate the asymmetric long-run and short-run relationships between inflation and remittance outflows in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (hereafter KSA) over the period 1971−2019 by using the Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (NARDL) model. The statistical tests have supported the validity and stability of the model. The Wald F-test statistics confirm the existence of a long-run equilibrium relationship among the model variables; remittance outflows, positive (negative) shocks in inflation rates, investment, real GDP, and trade openness. Moreover, the empirical results confirm the existence of an asymmetric effect of the inflation rate on remittance outflows. The response of foreign workers to an increase in inflation rates differs from their response to a decrease in inflation rates. However, this asymmetric relationship between the increases/decreases in inflation and remittance outflows is significantly weak. The weakness of this relationship is due to the high marginal remittance propensity of migrant workers, which is explained by the low consumption propensity of foreign workers and their ability to adjust to the high cost of living due to inflation and the imposition of accompanying fees. Finally, the change in the inflation rate is not among the main factors influencing foreign remittance decisions in Saudi Arabia.

Abu Musa Mohammad Arif Billah 국제인문사회연구학회 2022 Studies on Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSC) Vol.4 No.1

Multiculturalism and Multilingualism in Mughal India* Abu Musa Mohammad Arif Billah** Abstract: Mughal India is an important part of the political history of the subcontinent which nowadays is divided into three independent states – India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Mughal dynasty was established by Zahir Uddin Muhammad Babur (1483–1530 AD) in 1526 AD and continued until 1857 AD. In regard to the origin and development of multiculturalism and multilingualism in the Indian subcontinent, it is worthwhile to mention that India had been a place of attraction for people of varied interests since the dawn of human civilization. Consequently, huge numbers of foreign travelers settled here since time immemorial which pushed the Indian civilization to go through numerous paradigm shifts. Such scope for amalgamation and exchange of views between the locals and settlers, resulted in the manifestation of individual cultural and linguistic identity for each group of people that was living there. And this is actually the prime underlying cause for the emergence of multiculturalism and multilingualism in the Indian subcontinent. This study endeavors to unfold the hidden secrets of both multicultural eminences and multilingual munificence that exist in the region in general and of Mughal India in particular. The current paper attempts to address the above mentioned issues elucidating the relevant aspects of the topic using both primary and secondary sources.
