    (2017) Öztürk, Betül
    Yemek ve göç arasındaki ilişki, tarih boyunca mutfak kültürünün şekillenmesinde önemli bir rol oynamıştır. Hem ev sahipleri hem de göçmenler için bir bölgenin tarihi ve coğrafyası, belirli bir mutfak kültüründeki mevcut gıdalarını etkilemektedir. Bu çalışma, üç farklı mutfak öğesinin evrimini kapsamlı bir şekilde incelemektedir: boyoz, sübye ve midye dolma. Bu gıdalar, İzmir mutfağının gelişimine katkıda bulunan ayrılmaz bir bileşeni ve zengin bir mirası temsil etmektedir. Çalışma, bu yiyeceklerin evriminde dinin ve etnik kültürlerin etkisini ve İzmir'in mutfak mirasını nasıl sembolize ettiklerini araştırmaktadır. Bu üç sembolik yiyeceğin tarihsel seyrini izlemek için titiz bir belge analizi yapılmış, göçmenlerin ve diasporalarının ev sahibi mutfak kültürünün evrimi üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmanın bulguları, coğrafi ve tarihsel değişimlerin bu üç sembolik yiyeceğin mutfak geleneklerini etkilediğini ve göçmenler ile ev sahibi nüfus arasındaki etkileşimlerden etkilenen tariflerin uyarlanmasıyla sonuçlandığını göstermiştir. Sonuç olarak, turizm endüstrisinin gastronomi sektörüne de katkıda bulunan benzersiz mutfak ürünleri ortaya çıkmıştır.

    Analysis of Turkish Beer Consumer Preferences: Extrinsic Attributes of Beer Package Design
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2026-04) Ozturk, Betul; Oner, Onur Semen
    This study explores the impact of beer package design elements on consumer preferences while performing the purchasing decision within the Turkish beer market, with a particular focus on the mass-market and craft beer segments. A structured survey was employed to collect quantitative data from 447 participants representing diverse demographic profiles of Turkish beer consumers. The survey assessed the impact of demographic factors, beer consumption habits, and package design extrinsic attributes. Key elements such as color schemes, typography, imagery, and bottle shapes were analyzed. The analysis of the data encompassed the calculation of descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, and exploratory factor analysis. The findings indicated a pronounced predilection for conventional designs, encompassing gold and silver color palettes and traditional typographies. This inclination is indicative of the heritage embodied by prominent and widely accepted beer brands. In contrast, a number of consumers exhibited a discernible predilection for innovative and artisanal designs that accentuated visual differentiation. Moreover, the study revealed that bottle size and shape significantly influenced purchasing decisions. This research makes a significant contribution to the extant literature on beer package design and consumer preferences by offering actionable insights specific to the Turkish beer market. The study underscores the significance of packaging as a strategic instrument for distinguishing and positioning oneself in the market.

    The Perceptions of the Restaurants Towards QR Code Menu Adaptation in the Restaurant Service Operation
    (Elsevier, 2025-09) Ozturk, Betul; Ula, Pinar Bilgin
    In the aftermath of the pandemic, there was a profound shift in consumer perceptions regarding the importance of a healthy and safe contact environment. The objective of this study is to examine the perceptions of restaurant businesses with regard to the implementation of Quick Response (QR) code menus and their adaptation of service operations in order to align with the requirements of their business models. The study was conducted using a qualitative analysis method in order to gain insights without any predetermined scale. The data was collected through in-depth interviews with restaurant owners, managers, or service managers. A thematic analysis was employed to identify the advantages and disadvantages associated with the adaptation of the QR code menu. The results indicated that the advantages of the QR code menu included the ability to order items quickly and easily, as well as the reduction of expenses related to menu publishing. This, in turn, has the potential to contribute to environmental and economic sustainability. Technological issues, such as connectivity problems or the use of outdated mobile phone models that are unable to scan QR codes, may also present challenges. The study contributes to the existing literature on the adaptation of technology in restaurants by introducing the use of a technology-based QR code menu.

    Culinary Application of Artisan Chocolate Enriched With Spirulina and Sensorial Evaluation
    (2025-03-30) Öztürk, Betül; Ozgun, Oyku Leyla
    Creativity in culinary practices goes beyond the methods used to include the use of new alternative food sources to improve the sustainability of the global food system. In this study, spirulina was used to develop artisanal chocolate products to be served in restaurants. Four different recipes were developed using dark, milk, and white chocolate drops in two different shapes: chocolate bars and hemispheres. The recipes were developed in two different ways: directly into the chocolate and as a filler. To achieve an optimal flavor profile, lemon and raspberry were chosen as pairings to mitigate any off-flavors associated with blue-green algae. The developed chocolate products were evaluated by a tasting panel of 15 semi-trained panelists. The chocolate samples were analyzed on a hedonic scale based on sensory attributes such as appearance, taste, smell, color, and texture, and the collected data was evaluated using rank analysis. The overall acceptance results showed that the dark chocolate filled with lemon ganache was perceived as acceptable compared to the other chocolates developed. The study also aimed to explore the potential of alternative food sources as a way to enhance culinary creativity in the restaurant environment.

    Understanding the Influence of Wine Labeling Attributes on Consumer's Buying Decision: a Study in Turkey
    (Emerald group publishing ltd, 2024-08-06) Öztürk, Betül; Ertamay, Selin Isevcan; İşevcan Ertamay, Selin
    PurposeThe aim of this study is to investigate, in the Turkish market, the elements on the front and back labels of wine bottles depicting the characteristics of the wines and their impact on the purchasing decisions of wine consumers in Turkey.Design/methodology/approachThe questionnaire consisted of 24 items that used a five-point Likert scale. Data were collected through a self-administered online survey completed by 340 participants. Following exploratory factor analysis with principal component analysis and varimax rotation, the number of factors was reduced to six: front and back-label consumer experiences, front label design elements, intrinsic cue information, back-label contents, storage/flavor profile and health warnings. The final section of the questionnaire presented five digitally designed front and back labels and asked participants to indicate their preferences.FindingsThe results indicated that reading/checking the front and back labels on wine bottles was more important than all other factors. Turkish consumers generally prefer traditional front label designs, while female consumers are more open to contemporary designs compared to male consumers. Back-label designs with more information are generally more acceptable, although female consumers with good wine knowledge may not consider food pairing, storage, or service information.Research limitations/implicationsThis research was designed only based on the elements of the front and back labels. The research should expand to include packaging characteristics such as bottle shape, bottle closure, price, and situational use.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study offer valuable insights for Turkish wine producers aiming to enhance their marketing strategies by customizing their wine label designs to better align with the market.Originality/valueThis study is the preliminary study to investigate Turkish consumers purchasing decisions based on the front- and back-label characteristics by using both verbal and visual elements.
