The Port of Port Said in British Consular reports (1886-1914)
No full textKonsolosluk raporları araştırmacılar tarafından sık sık başvurulan tarihi belgelerdir. Zira çeşitli şehirlerle ilgili, farklı devletlere ait konsolosluk raporları birçok bilimsel araştırmaya konu olmuş ve araştırmacılar tarafından tahlil edilmiştir. Buna rağmen, yapılan literatür taramasında, Port Said gibi stratejik öneme sahip bir şehirle ilgili bu tarz bir bilimsel çalışma tespit edilememiştir. Oysaki faaliyete geçtiği günden beri önemli bir ticari güzergâh olan Süveyş Kanalı'nın Akdeniz tarafından girişi konumundaki Port Said Limanı ve şehri stratejik bir bölgedir. Bu minvalde Port Said'le ilgili 1886-1914 yılları arasında yazılmış olan 27 adet İngiliz konsolosluk raporu incelenmiş ve doküman analizi yöntemiyle yorumlanmıştır. Genelde iki ana bölümden oluşan raporların sadece Port Said Limanı'yla ilgili verileri çalışmamızın merkezine koyulmuştur. 1892 ve 1913 yıllarıyla ilgili raporlara ulaşılamamış; dolayısıyla bu raporlar görmezden gelinmiştir. İlgili yıllar arasında Port Said Limanı'nda gerçekleşen ticaretin verileri ithalat, ihracat, yeniden ihracat, transit geçiş ve raftieh belgeli ticaret şeklinde ayrı ayrı ele alınıp analiz edilmiştir. Böylelikle 1886-1914 yılları arasında Port Said Limanı'nda gerçekleşen ticaretin hacmi tespit edilmeye çalışılmış, ithalatı ve ihracatı yapılan ürünler belirlenmiş ve milletler bazında kıyaslamalar yapılmıştır. Raporlardan elde edilen veriler incelendiğinde Port Said'deki ticaretin yıllara göre büyük bir artış gösterdiği tespit edilmiş ve İngilizler gibi bazı milletlerin buradaki ticarette daha faal olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca bazı ürünlerde rekabet yaşandığı ve deve kuşu tüyünden sanat eserlerine kadar çok farklı ürünlerin ithalat-ihracatının yapıldığı anlaşılmıştır. Öte yandan petrol, kömür, pamuk ve sigara gibi bazı ürünlerin ithalat ve ihracat anlamında diğer ürünleri geride bıraktığı sonucuna varılmıştır.Consular reports are historical documents frequently examined by researchers. Reports from consuls of various states regarding different cities have been the subject of many scholarly studies and have been analysed by researchers. However, a review of the literature reveals that no such academic study has been identified concerning a strategically important city like Port Said. On the other hand, Port Said, located at the Mediterranean entrance of the Suez Canal—which has been a significant commercial route since it began operating—is indeed a strategic region. In this context, 27 British consular reports written between 1886 and 1914 about Port Said were examined and interpreted using the document analysis method. The reports, which generally consist of two main parts, were analysed only in terms of the data related to the Port of Port Said. Reports from the years 1892 and 1913 could not be accessed and were therefore excluded from the study. Trade data from the Port of Port Said during the relevant years were analysed under the categories of import, export, re-export, transit trade, and trade with raftieh permits. In this way, the study aimed to determine the volume of trade at the Port of Port Said between 1886 and 1914, identify the imported and exported goods, and make comparisons based on nationalities. The data obtained from the reports show that trade in Port Said increased significantly over the years, and that certain nations, such as the British, were more active in the region's commerce. It was also observed that there was competition in the trade of some products, and that a wide range of goods—from ostrich feathers to works of art—were imported and exported. Furthermore, it was concluded that certain goods, such as petroleum, coal, cotton, and cigarettes, surpassed others in terms of import and export volume
Identification of lactic acid bacteria isolated from traditional cheeses of the Black Sea Region
No full textThe aim of this study was to isolate and to identify lactic acid bacteria from traditional cheeses of the Black See Region. Artvin & Scedil;or, Giresun Tecen, Karg & imath; Tulum, Ordu Kesik and Trabzon Telli cheese were used as cheese samples of the Black Sea Region. The number of lactic acid bacteria in traditional cheese of the Black Sea Region were ranged from 4.62 +/- 0.76 and to 7.87 +/- 0.64 log cfug-1. Gram-positive and catalase-negative colonies were evaluated as lactic acid bacteria based on the morphological and biochemical properties. According to biochemical analysis results, 39 lactic acid bacteria strains were identified by 16S rDNA isolated from cheese samples. Based on the sequence analysis, the indigenous lactic acid bacteria population was identified as Enterococcus faecium (35.9%), as Levilactobacillus brevis (12.8%), as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (15.3%), as Pediococcus acidilactici (7.6%), as Enterococcus durans (7.6%), as Lacticaseibacillus paracasei (5.1%), as Lacticaseibacillus casei (7.6%), as Leuconostoc mesenteroides (2.5%), as Leuconostoc lactis (2.5%) and as Weissella cibaria (2.5%). Enterococcus spp. was the dominant lactic acid bacteria in cheese sample. The present findings revealed that lactic acid bacteria populations varied depending on cheese types in terms of cell counts and diversity.Giresun Universitesi Bilimsel Arastirma Projeleri (BAP) Komisyon Baskanligina [FEN-BAP-C-281119-78]Financial Support This study was supported by Giresun Universitesi Bilimsel Ara & scedil;t & imath;rma Projeleri (BAP) Komisyon Ba & scedil;kanl & imath;& gbreve;& imath;na (Project No: FEN-BAP-C-281119-78)
Emotional Intelligence and Psychological Well-Being of Turkish Physical Education and Sports Athlete-Students: The Mediating Roles of Self-Efficacy and Burnout
No full textThe psychological well-being of athlete-students during higher education is important in their healthy growth and adaptation to college and social life, and emotional intelligence is one of the key factors linked with psychological well-being. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence and psychological well-being among Turkish athlete-students in higher education studying physical education and sports. A total of 226 athlete-students studying physical education and sports participated in this study. The results of our mediation analysis revealed that emotional intelligence was positively related to psychological well-being. Additionally, the results indicated that self-efficacy and burnout act as partial mediators between emotional intelligence and psychological well-being. As a result, academic administrators and instructors should promote strategies that help athlete-students to gain better emotional intelligence skills, which may also help these students to cope with burnout and increase their self-efficacy, thus increasing their psychological well-being
Comparative analysis of university students' attitudes and awareness towards environmental pollution and electromagnetic pollution
Full text linkÇevre, kirliliğin küresel düzeyde artması ve hissedilir hale gelmesi, doğal kaynakların ölçüsüzce tüketilmesi, ekosistemin zarara uğraması ve yerkürenin sürdürülebilirliğinin tartışılmaya başlanmasıyla beraber 20. yüzyılın ikinci yarısı itibarıyla uluslararası politikanın gündeminde yer edinmiştir. 1972 yılında düzenlenen Birleşmiş Milletler İnsan Çevresi Konferansı, çevresel konuların uluslararası düzeyde ele alınmasında dönüm noktası olmuş, bu tarihten sonra birçok tavsiye niteliğindeki politika ve iş birliği çabası ortaya konmuştur. Kirliliğin taşınabilir ve sınırlar ötesi bir nitelik taşıması, yerel düzeydeki sorunların küresel etkiler yaratmasına sebep olmuş, bu da çevre kirliliğiyle mücadelenin küresel bir sorumluluk çerçevesinde ele alınmasını zorunlu kılmıştır. Bu bağlamda, nitelikli ve kapsamlı bir çevre eğitimi sunulması öncelenen politikalardan biri olmuştur. Bu bağlamda yürütülen bu araştırmanın amacı; Türkiye'de lisans düzeyinde öğrenim gören öğrencilerin bu aşamaya kadarki eğitim-öğretim süreçleri de göz önünde bulundurularak çevre kirliliğine ilişkin tutumları ile elektromanyetik kirlilik yayan teknolojik cihazların bilinçli kullanımına yönelik farkındalık düzeylerini tespit etmektir. Araştırma, betimsel tarama yöntemi kullanılarak oluşturulmuş ve Osmaniye Korkut Ata Üniversitesinin farklı bölümlerinde öğrenim görmekte olan öğrencilerden oluşan bir örneklem üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcıların demografik özellikleri, sosyo-ekonomik durumları, çevre eğitimi alma durumları, çevre etkinliklerine katılım durumları, elektromanyetik cihazlarla etkileşim süreleri, çevre kirliliği ve elektromanyetik alanlarla ilgili bilgi kapasiteleri gibi değişkenler dikkate alınarak iki farklı ölçek aracılığıyla veri toplanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular neticesinde, öğrencilerin çevre kirliliğine yönelik tutumlarının yüksek ve olumlu düzeyde olduğu ancak elektromanyetik kirlilik yayan cihazların bilinçli kullanımına ilişkin tutumlarının orta düzeyde ve istenen seviyede olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, eğitim-öğretim sürecinde çevreyle ilgili dolaylı içeriklerden ziyade doğrudan çevre temalı derslerin müfredata dahil edilmesi gerektiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca, çevresel konuların yalnızca teorik değil, uygulamalı eğitimlerle desteklenmesi ve okul öncesinden başlayarak toplum genelinde çevre bilincini geliştirmeye yönelik kapsamlı bir eğitim seferberliği başlatılması önerilmektedir. Çevreyi kirleten birey ve kurumlara yönelik yaptırımların yalnızca maddi cezalarla sınırlandırılmaması gerektiği, aksi hâlde çevreyi kirletmenin ekonomik bedelinin ödenerek meşrulaştırılabileceği algısına neden olabileceği vurgulanmaktadır.Since Environmental issues became part of the international political agenda in the second half of the 20th century due to the global rise and noticeable impact of pollution, the excessive consumption of natural resources, damage to ecosystems, and growing concerns about the sustainability of the planet. The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment held in 1972 marked a turning point in addressing environmental issues at the international level. Since then, many policy recommendations and cooperation efforts have been initiated. The transboundary nature of pollution has caused local problems to generate global impacts, making it necessary to address environmental pollution within a framework of global responsibility. In this context, providing a qualified and comprehensive environmental education has become one of the prioritized policy areas. The aim of this study, conducted within this framework, is to determine the attitudes of undergraduate students in Turkey towards environmental pollution (taking into account their previous educational experiences) and their level of awareness regarding the conscious use of technological devices that emit electromagnetic pollution. The research was designed using the descriptive survey method and was carried out on a sample of students from various departments at Osmaniye Korkut Ata University. Data were collected using two different scales, considering variables such as participants' demographic characteristics, socio-economic status, participation in environmental education and activities, interaction time with electromagnetic devices, and their knowledge levels about environmental pollution and electromagnetic fields. The findings revealed that while students' attitudes toward environmental pollution were high and positive, their attitudes towards the conscious use of devices that emit electromagnetic pollution were at a moderate and suboptimal level. As a result of the study, it was concluded that instead of indirect content on environmental topics, environmental-themed courses should be directly included in the curriculum during the education process. Additionally, it is recommended that environmental issues be supported not only through theoretical but also practical education, and that a comprehensive educational campaign be launched across society starting from early childhood to raise environmental awareness. The study also emphasizes that sanctions against individuals and institutions polluting the environment should not be limited to financial penalties alone, as this could lead to the perception that pollution can be legitimized by paying its economic cost
LSTM AND ANFIS MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS IN ESTIMATING THE SEA WATER TEMPERATURE IN TÜRKİYE AT VARIOUS SEA LOCATIONS
No full textThe World's temperature is experiencing a rapid increase, leading to negative consequences for aquatic ecosystems such as oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers. There are also other negative influences consisting of changing precipitation patterns, disruptions in marine current circulation, and formation of negative impacts on marine life. Ultimately, there is a compelling need for careful monitoring of sea temperatures to understand and address these interconnected environmental changes. The daily temperature of seawater (SWT) is a crucial abiotic variable that changes both the chemical composition of water and aquatic life in seas and oceans. The present study explored the capabilities of artificial intelligence techniques in one-day-ahead SWT predictions. These techniques are fuzzy c-means adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS-FCM), subtractive clustering ANFIS (ANFIS-SC), grid segmentation ANFIS (ANFIS-GP), and long short-term memory (LSTM) and artificial neural network (ANN). Accordingly, daily SWT data that was collected from Alanya, Bodrum, and Akcakoca measurement stations located in Türkiye's Mediterranean, Aegean, and Black Sea locations were used in SWT predictions. Estimated results obtained by these five estimation methods were compared to the real observed values by interpreting four statistical metrics. Consequently, the most accurate estimates were obtained utilizing the fuzzy c-means (FCM) of ANFIS. Besides, it was reported that the LSTM approach closely followed the accuracy of this prediction of FCM. Both proposed models have generated superior statistical accuracy results corresponding to 0.34% MAPE, 0.0765 oC MAE, 0.1585 oC RMSE, and 0.9990 R. Those results have indicated the closest match of the predictions on the real measured data that have been acquired by ANFIS-FCM and LSTM models
Synthesis of MgAl2O4 by sol-gel method and investigation of catalytic performances in CO2 methanation
No full textCO2 levels in the atmosphere are increasing as a result of human activities such as industrial activities, fossil fuel usage, and deforestation. The CO2 methanation reaction, which converts CO2 into methane, may play a crucial role in addressing this issue. Like most commercial syntheses, the CO2 methanation process requires a catalyst. Spinel catalysts, particularly magnesium aluminate (MgAl2O4), have gained attention for their potential in CO2 methanation. In this study, MgAl2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized using a sol-gel method with a molar ratio of Mg:Al = 1:2, and calcined at temperatures ranging from 700 to 900 degrees C. The structural properties of the nanoparticles were characterized using differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that the particles had nearly spherical morphology, with agglomeration occurring at higher temperatures. The surface area decreased with increasing calcination temperature, from 188 m(2)/g at 700 degrees C to 94 m(2)/g at 900 degrees C. NiCo-MgAl2O4 catalysts were prepared by impregnation and characterized by CO2 temperature-programmed desorption and hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction. Catalytic performance tests revealed that the NiCo-MgAl2O4 catalyst calcined at 800 degrees C achieved the highest CO2 conversion (similar to 85%) and methane selectivity. Spent catalyst analysis showed that carbon deposition negatively affected catalyst performance over time. This study emphasizes the role of strong basic sites in CO2 activation and methane formation, suggesting future improvements in catalyst stability.Istanbul Technical University Scientific Research Projects Funding (ITU-BAP) [43781, 43596]; Tincel Culture Foundation; Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye (TUBIdot;TAK)We would like to acknowledge the Istanbul Technical University Scientific Research Projects Funding (ITU-BAP) (Projects No: 43781 and 43596) for their financial support.

Real-time heart rhythm analysis based on PPG signals with artificial ıntelligence
Full text linkBu çalışmanın amacı, fotopletismografi (PPG) sensörü aracılığıyla elde edilen kalp ritim verilerinin gerçek?zamanlı olarak toplanması, ön işlenmesi ve yapay zekâ tabanlı yöntemlerle analiz edilerek ritim sınıflandırması yapmaktır. Bu bağlamda, sensörden Raspberry Pi 3 mikro?bilgisayara iletilen ham PPG sinyalleri Python diliyle temizlenmiş; sinyal?ön?işleme adımları (band?pass filtre, temel eğilim düzeltme, hareket artefaktı azaltma) uygulanmıştır. Çalışma teori ve uygulama olmak üzere iki bölümden oluşmaktadır. Teori bölümünde literatür taraması yapılarak PPG sensör teknolojisi, veri madenciliği, metin madenciliğine benzer biçimde zaman?serisi madenciliği ve duygu analizi yerine sinyal tabanlı duygu?benzeri ritim analizi kavramları tartışılmıştır. Uygulama kapsamında üç dakikalık oturumlarla 60 000'in üzerinde PPG örneği toplanmış; bunlardan rastgele seçilen, her biri 250 örnek içeren 1 250 pencere "Normal Sinüs", "Taşikardi" ve "Artefakt" olarak etiketlenmiştir. Etiketli veri, LightGBM tabanlı bir sınıflandırıcı ve LSTM ağı ile test edilmiş; her iki model de %90 civarında doğruluk sağlamış, ancak artefakt sınıfında LSTM'nin F1 skoru daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Elde edilen bulgular, gerçek zamanlı PPG sistemlerinde hızlı ve hafif modellerin bile klinik açıdan kabul edilebilir performans sunabileceğini göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak, sensör?Pi altyapısı ile sağlanan verilerin, yapay zekâ teknikleri yardımıyla anlık ritim izleme ve uyarı sistemlerinde kullanılabileceği kanıtlanmıştır. Bu tez, giyilebilir sağlık teknolojileri ve kardiyoloji bilişimi alanlarında yapılacak gelecekteki araştırmalar için sağlam bir referans niteliğindedir.This study aims to collect raw photoplethysmography (PPG) signals using a sensor, process them on a Raspberry Pi 3 platform, and perform real-time rhythm classification with artificial-intelligence-based methods. The raw PPG data streamed from the sensor to the Pi are cleaned in Python; band-pass filtering, baseline-wander removal, and motion-artefact suppression are applied. The thesis consists of two major parts: theory and application. In the theoretical part, a literature survey is presented, covering PPG technology, data mining, time-series mining, and signal-based emotion-like rhythm analysis. Within the scope of the application, more than 60,000 PPG samples were recorded in three?minute sessions. From these, 1,250 windows (250 samples per window) were randomly selected and manually labelled into three classes—Normal Sinus, Tachycardia, and Artefact. The labelled dataset was fed to a LightGBM classifier and, for comparison, to an LSTM?based deep?learning model. Both models achieved accuracies close to 90 %, yet the LSTM showed a markedly higher F1?score in the Artefact class. These results demonstrate that even lightweight, edge?compatible models can deliver clinically acceptable performance for real?time PPG monitoring systems. Consequently, the proposed Pi infrastructure proves that PPG data can be transformed through AI techniques into an on?the?fly rhythm?monitoring and alert system. The thesis serves as a valuable reference for future research in wearable health technology and cardiology informatics, guiding data acquisition, preprocessing, and model deployment

No full textBu çalışmada, farklı oranlarda kayısı lifi (%0, %1, %2, %4, %8 ve %16) ilavesinin yer fıstığı ezmelerinin reolojik özelliklerine, mineral madde bileşimi üzerindeki etkisi araştırılmıştır. Reolojik özellikler bakımından, yer fıstığı ezmeleri Newtonyen olmayan (Non-Newtonian) akış davranışı göstermiş ve sonuçlar Ostwald de Waele modeli ile ifade edilmiştir. Kayısı lifi miktarı arttıkça yer fıstığı ezmelerindeki viskozite değerleri genellikle azalma göstermiştir. Mineral madde açısından, kayısı lifi miktarı arttıkça, yer fıstığı ezmelerindeki Fe, Ca miktarları artış göstermiş iken, K ve Mg miktarlarında azalma olduğu saptanmıştır(pIn this study, the effect of apricot fibre addition at different ratios (0%, 1%, 2%, 4%, 8%, and 16%) on the rheological properties and mineral matter composition of peanut butter was investigated. In terms of rheological properties, peanut butter showed non-Newtonian flow behaviour, and the results were expressed by Ostwald de Waele model. As the amount of apricot fibre increased, the viscosity values in peanut butter generally decreased. In terms of mineral matter, as the amount of apricot fibre increased, the amounts of Fe and Ca in peanut butter increased, while the amounts of K and Mg decreased (pOsmaniye Korkut Ata Üniversites
Effect of Cu alloying to ZA-24 alloy to corrosion properties in 2.5% NaCl solution
No full textZinc-aluminium alloys (ZA alloys) are widely used in corrosive environments due to their castability and mechanical properties. In this study, ZA-24 and Cu-alloyed ZA-24 alloys were fabricated via gravity casting to investigate the effect of copper addition on corrosion behaviour in 2.5% NaCl solution. Immersion corrosion tests, electrochemical Tafel analysis, SEM-EDS, XRD, and XPS techniques were employed to characterize the corrosion mechanism. The results indicated that Cu addition increased the micro-galvanic corrosion susceptibility, especially enhancing the specific corrosion rate of Al. However, Cu also promoted the formation of a more stable corrosion film, improving long-term corrosion resistance. These findings highlight the dual role of copper in ZA-24 alloys, suggesting design strategies for enhanced corrosion performance.MMK Metallurgy Turkiye; Iskenderun Technical University Scientific Research CentreThe author thanks MMK Metallurgy Turkiye and Iskenderun Technical University Scientific Research Centre for their support in this study
Value addition to peanut milk production process by products
No full textGünümüzde laktoz intoleransı, inek sütü alerjisi ve vegan beslenme eğilimlerinin artmasıyla birlikte bitki bazlı süt alternatiflerine yönelik talep hızla artmaktadır. Protein, yağ ve biyoaktif maddeler açısından zengin olan yer fıstığı (Arachis hypogaea L.), bitki bazlı süt alternatifleri içerisinde dikkate değer bir seçenek sunmaktadır. Ancak yer fıstığı sütü üretimi sırasında ortaya çıkan posa, çoğu zaman atık olarak değerlendirilmekte ve ekonomik değeri göz ardı edilmektedir. Bu tez çalışmasında, yer fıstığı sütü üretimi sonrası ortaya çıkan posanın katı kültür fermantasyonu yöntemiyle biyolojik olarak zenginleştirilmesi ve glutensiz kraker üretiminde fonksiyonel bir bileşen olarak değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Aspergillus oryzae ile gerçekleştirilen fermantasyon süreci, Box-Behnken deney tasarımıyla optimize edilmiş ve en uygun koşullar %46,8 nem, 35,98 °C sıcaklık ve 4,98 gün süre olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu koşullarda toplam fenolik madde (TFM) içeriği 15,68 mg GAE/g KM'ye ulaşarak, fermente edilmemiş posaya kıyasla yaklaşık 2,3 kat artış göstermiştir. Fermentasyon işlemi posanın yağ, kül ve su tutma kapasitesi gibi fonksiyonel özelliklerini iyileştirmiş; renk değerlerinde koyulaşma, a* ve b* parametrelerinde artış gözlenmiştir. Elde edilen fermente posa, glutensiz un ile farklı oranlarda ikame edilerek kraker üretiminde kullanılmış ve %10 posa içeren örneklerde protein içeriği %3,35, TFM 3,94 mg GAE/g KM, antioksidan aktivite ve doymamış yağ asitleri düzeylerinde belirgin artış sağlanmıştır. Ayrıca, %7,5 posa içeren krakerlerin en düşük sertlik değerine sahip olması, ürünün tekstürel açıdan da olumlu yönde geliştiğini göstermektedir. Sonuçlar, yer fıstığı posasının sürdürülebilir ve fonksiyonel gıda üretimi için katma değerli bir bileşene dönüştürülebileceğini ortaya koymaktadır.With the increasing prevalence of lactose intolerance, cow's milk allergy, and vegan dietary trends, the demand for plant-based milk alternatives is rapidly rising. Rich in protein, fat, and bioactive compounds, peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) offer a noteworthy option among plant-based milk alternatives. However, the pulp generated during peanut milk production is often treated as waste, and its economic potential is largely overlooked. This thesis study aimed to biologically enrich the pulp produced after peanut milk processing through solid-state fermentation and to evaluate its use as a functional ingredient in gluten-free cracker production. The fermentation process conducted with Aspergillus oryzae was optimized using the Box-Behnken experimental design, and the optimal conditions were determined as 46.8% moisture, 35.98 °C temperature, and 4.98 days of incubation. Under these conditions, the total phenolic content (TPC) reached 15.68 mg GAE/g dry matter, representing approximately a 2.3-fold increase compared to the unfermented pulp. The fermentation process improved functional properties such as fat content, ash content, and water-holding capacity, while also resulting in darkening of color and increased a* and b* color parameters. The resulting fermented pulp was used in gluten-free cracker formulations by substituting the flour at different ratios, and in samples containing 10% fermented pulp, protein content reached 3.35%, TPC was measured at 3.94 mg GAE/g dry matter, and significant increases were observed in antioxidant activity and levels of unsaturated fatty acids. Additionally, crackers containing 7.5% fermented pulp exhibited the lowest hardness values, indicating a favorable improvement in textural properties. The results demonstrate that peanut pulp can be transformed into a value-added ingredient for sustainable and functional food production
