    Travel Agencies’ Role in Gastronomy Tourism Development and a Gastronomy Tour Example
    (2022-12-31) İriguler İriguler, Feray; Demir, Cengiz; Irıgüler, Feray
    Gastronomy tourism embraces a wide range of gastronomic opportunities for tourists while contributing to sustainability, rural development and the protection of culinary heritage. It diversifies and revitalizes tourism as one of the industry's essential element and emerging segments. However, there is a scarcity of research on the issue related to travel agencies. The purpose of this research is to determine whether travel agencies in İzmir use culinary elements and gastronomic sources as themes in their tour packages to highlight the gastronomy tourism potential of the city, and explore ways of developing this approach. Thus, the contribution of this study is threefold. First, travel agencies in downtown İzmir were surveyed in terms of their actual gastronomy tourism product offers and future plans to create one. The survey results revealed that gastronomy was not promoted as a principal theme due to a lack of awareness of potential local and regional culinary resources. Second, experts in the gastronomy and tourism industries were contacted using purposive sampling. Their opinions were sought regarding places, products and activities that could be included in a gastronomy tour package. Finally, an example tour program was created based on expert opinions along with the author’s contribution.

    Antioxidant and Prooxidant Properties of Selected Herbs and Citrus Bergamia Risso Et Poiteau (bergamot) Used for the Management of Hyperlipidemia

    Background and Aims: In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the search for herbs to aid the management of hyperlipidemia. There is currently very little data on the simultaneous evaluation of the antioxidant and prooxidant properties of antihyperlipidemic herbs. This study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant and prooxidant properties of four antihyperlipidemic herbal drugs and also of bergamot. Methods: Antioxidant property was determined by ferric ions (Fe3+) reducing capacity (IRC), DPPH radical scavenging activity (DPPH IC50) and trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC); deoxyribose degradation test was used for prooxidant property. Results: The highest total phenolic content (TPC) was in the myrtle leaf (ML)(135.35 +/- 3.46 mg GAE/g, p<0.05) whereas the highest total flavonoid content (TFC) was in green tea (GT) (48.76 +/- 0.69 mg QE/g, p<0.05) both of which were maintained from a pharmacy. Among the bergamot samples, the highest TPC and TFC values were in filtered fruit juice (BFFJ) as 197.35 +/- 6.29 mg GAE/100 mL; and 94.14 +/- 1.39 mg QE/100 mL; p<0.05, respectively. GT showed the highest antioxidant capacity in IRC and TEAC assays (2.29 +/- 0.12 mM TE/g; and 2.32 +/- 0.07 mmol TE/mg, p<0.05). The lowest DPPH IC50 was identified in ML from a pharmacy (6.95 +/- 0.08 mu g/mL; p<0.01). BFFJ had the highest IRC (2.94 +/- 0.031 mM TE/10 mu L), TEAC (5.14 +/- 0.084 mmol TE/10 mu L) and the lowest DPPH IC50 value (10.561 +/- 0.17 mu L). GT from a pharmacy and 1mg/mL concentration BFLFJ (filtered and lyophilized) were associated with the lowest hydroxyl radical scavenger activity (0.171 +/- 0.013 mu M MDA equivalent, p<0.05 and 0.144 +/- 0.015 mu M MDA equivalent, p<0.05). Conclusion: BFLFJ and GT got the highest attention due to high TPC, TFC, antioxidant and low prooxidant properties. Our results highlight the necessity of clarifying the value of bergamot and GT in this field with further studies.
