    New Rural Development Versus the Familiar Rural Motherhood: the Commercialization of Local Foods and Its Effect on Gender Roles
    (Istanbul Univ, Fac Letters, Dept Sociology, 2020-07-27) Nizam Bilgiç, Derya; Nizam, Derya
    In recent years, promoting local foods and local cuisine has become an essential feature of rural development projects, which aim to empower women in rural areas and generate supplementary income (from agricultural production) to small-size farming units. This study aims to discuss the ideological, cultural, social, and economic barriers that shape the ways in which rural women conduct their entrepreneurial activities based on the sale of local homemade foods. By focusing on women's daily practices in domestic and professional life and how these shape and constrain their entrepreneurship, the study aims to debate the impacts commercializing local foods has had on existing gender roles. For this purpose, a case study has been conducted on the local food markets in Seferihisar, Izmir where rural women sell homemade food products (dolmas, stuffed artichoke, pastry, sweet pastry, bread, and tomato sauce). The source data, drawn from 27 in-depth and 131 survey interviews, have been triangulated in order to develop the body of the findings. Women's entrepreneurship is argued to be able to contribute to a fairer food system, but this is based on having political programs where women participate in the decision-making process. Such factors in turn influence the process of feminizing agriculture and strengthening women as actors of rural change and the corresponding decline in the stereotypical images of rural motherhood that reinforce traditional gender roles. Within this context, the most important impact and consequence of the local markets in Seferihisar is not the visibility of local foods in the markets through women's efforts but rather women's increase visibility in the public sphere due to their producing local foods.

    Antioxidant and Prooxidant Properties of Selected Herbs and Citrus Bergamia Risso Et Poiteau (bergamot) Used for the Management of Hyperlipidemia
    (Istanbul Univ, Fac Pharmacy, 2022-08-29) Akyildiz, Zehra Ilke; Kose, Fadime Aydin; Somer, Nehir Unver
    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.
