Volatile oil content and composition in fresh and dried Lavandula species: The impact of distillation time
Get PDFA wide range of biotic and abiotic factors influence both the yield and quality of essential oils (EOs). Among post-harvest processes, distillation time (DT) plays a pivotal role in shaping the EO yield and its chemical composition. This study investigates the effects of DT on the EO yield and volatile compound profiles of lavender (Lavandula angustifolia L.) and lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia L.) obtained from fresh and dried stemless flowers. To this end, five different distillation durations were assessed: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 h. In general, EO yield increased progressively with extended DTs. The maximum EO yield in fresh and dried lavender was obtained at 3 h (3.25 %) and 5 h (7.6 %) of distillation, respectively. Similarly, the highest EO yields in fresh and dried lavandin flowers were recorded at 3 h (3.2 %) and 4 h (7.2 %) of distillation, respectively. Notably, fresh floral material yielded proportionally higher EO content in both species. GC/FID-MS analysis revealed linalool (39.80–52.75 %) as the dominant compound across all samples. Other major constituents in lavender included linalyl acetate (16.74–23.10 %), terpinen-4-ol (5.24–6.79 %), and lavandulyl acetate (2.37–3.60 %). In lavandin, the principal compounds were camphor (10.93–12.99 %), 4-terpineol (7.60–8.23 %), borneol (6.77–7.52 %), 1,8-cineole (5.39–6.03 %), and linalyl acetate (2.21–3.83 %). Extended distillation time enhances essential oil yield and alters the chemical profile, particularly increasing the proportion of key compounds like linalool and camphor. For optimal yield and market-aligned composition, a DT of 3–5 h is recommended depending on flower condition and species
A field study on psychological contract, career success and work life balance
Get PDFGünümüzde işletmelerin en değerli sermayesi olarak kabul edilen insan, belli amaçları olan bir varlıktır. Çalıştığı işletmede bu amaçları gerçekleştirmeye yönelik adımlar atmakta, ancak bazen işletmede hiç beklemediği bir çatışma durumu yaşamaktadır. Bunun en önemli sebebi iş sözleşmesinden ayrı olarak çalışanın örgütten beklentilerini anlatan psikolojik sözleşmelerdir. Özellikle çalışanların kendilerini geliştirmeleri sonucu daha iyi konuma gelip saygınlık kazanmak istemesine yönelik kariyer başarısı ve iş dışında ailesiyle de verimli şekilde vakit geçirip iş yaşam dengesinin korunması beklentisi olabilmektedir. Bu kapsam doğrultusunda bu çalışma psikolojik sözleşme, kariyer başarısı ve iş yaşam dengesi arasındaki ilişkiyi analiz etmek amacı ile yapılmıştır. Nicel veri yöntemlerinden biri olan anket yöntemiyle İstanbul’daki üç belediye üzerinden yürütülen çalışmada, toplam 377 belediye çalışanından veri toplanmış ve analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, psikolojik sözleşme ile kariyer başarısı arasında olumlu ilişki bulunurken, psikolojik sözleşme ile iş yaşam dengesi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır. Ayrıca iş yaşam dengesi ile kariyer başarısı arasında da olumlu bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir.Nowadays, human being, which is accepted as the most valuable capital of enterprises, is an entity with certain goals. They take steps to realise these goals in the business they work for, but sometimes they experience an unexpected conflict situation in the business. The most important reason for this is the psychological contracts that describe the expectations of the employee from the organisation apart from the employment contract. In particular, there may be expectations of career success for employees to gain a better position and reputation as a result of their self-development, and the expectation to spend time with their families outside of work and to protect the work-life balance. In line with this scope, this study was conducted to analyse the relationship between psychological contract, career success and work life balance. In the study, which was conducted over three municipalities in Istanbul with the survey method, which is one of the quantitative data methods, data were collected and analysed from a total of 377 municipality employees. According to the results of the study, while a positive relationship was found between psychological contract and career success, no significant relationship was found between psychological contract and work life balance. In addition, a positive relationship was found between work-life balance and career success
Management of sour cherry processing industry wastewater by super critical fluid method: Sequential recovery and treatment
Get PDFhe fruit processing industry wastewater contains a significant amount of bioactive substances. In the sustainability framework and the circular economy, the by-product can be transformed into valuable resources before being treated. By integrating management strategies, the industry can minimize its environmental footprint, promote economic benefits, and support the sustainability of freshwater resources. This study subjected consecutively recovery (supercritical CO2: SC-CO2) and treatment (supercritical water oxidation: SCWO) by using the supercritical fluid method. In this study, sour cherry UF retentate with high-load organics, which include especially valuable phenolics was used. The mean COD and total phenolic substance content (TPC) were determined as 15,650 mg/L and 457 mg GAE/L, respectively. Recovery efficiencies of TPC and total flavonoid substance content (TFC) of extracts were up to 5 % and 10 % with SC-CO2 extraction, respectively. Additionally, the highest enrichment efficiencies were determined as 35 % and 140 %. While the TPC of sour cherry UF retentate was 72 mg/100 g sample, it increased up to 278 mg/100 g in the extract obtained under 40 °C and 30 MPa. Flavonoids from phenolic substances had high recoverability in SC-CO2 compared to the other phenolic groups. Following extraction, the samples were treated using the supercritical water oxidation process. Wastewater with high organic load was effectively treated in a short time (15 min) and the removal efficiencies changed between 78 % and 98 %. Additionally, toxicity tests were conducted in selected optimum extraction (27 MPa and 40 °C) and oxidation (1.68 DOD and 3 min) conditions, and the toxicity units of extracted and treated wastewaters decreased compared to those obtained from raw wastewater for Daphnia magna and Vibrio fischeri toxicity tests. These findings show that the supercritical fluid method can be a favorable alternative for management of fruit juice industry wastewater
