“…Distributions of genotypes in Antakya were consistent with the overall distributions in Turkey. The only exception is that the rate of genotype 2 was found to be higher compared to the overall national rate, but it was similar to the rate in Gaziantep (14). This is likely because Antakya and Gaziantep are geographically close to each other.…”

“…Genotypes 2 and 3 were the least commonly seen genotypes in Turkey. Genotype 2 was found to be relatively common in Gaziantep (14), and genotype 3 was found to be relatively common in İstanbul (15). Genotype 4 has been reported at low rates in many Turkish cities, but very high rates of genotype 4 were observed in Kayseri in recent studies (16,17).…”

IntroductionBoza is a traditional fermented cereal (millet, maize, wheat, or rice flours) Turkish beverage produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeast (Arici and Daglioglu, 2002) that is widely consumed in Turkey, Bulgaria, Albania, and Romania (Gotcheva et al., 2000). There are also boza-like products such as Kenyan busaa, South African kaffir beer, and Turkmen krimbusa (Hayta et al., 2001). Boza is a low acid and highly viscous beverage, usually consumed in winter months and generally served with white chickpeas and cinnamon. This beverage is usually stored at 4 °C; however, its shelf life is very short (10 days). When this drink is not consumed in due time, the product spoils and becomes undrinkable (Sanni, 1993;Blandino et al., 2003;Botes et al., 2007). On the other hand, it is a nourishing beverage because of its LAB microflora and protein, carbohydrate, mineral, fiber, and vitamin contents (Morcos et al., 1973). LAB have very important benefits for human health (Todorov et al., 2006) and elongate the shelf life of the product by producing antimicrobial compounds and bacteriocins (Deegan et al., 2006). LAB also improve the consistency and flavor of the product (De Vuyst and Vandamme, 1994;Ivanova et al., 2000). Moreover, LAB and several yeasts produce some compounds, such as vitamins, that improve the nutritional value of the product (Leroy and De Vuyst, 2004). In addition to the nutritional properties of boza, sensory and rheological properties are also crucial factors affecting consumer acceptability of product.Rheology is important for determining a relationship between consumer preferences and stability of the product (Fischer and Windhab, 2011). It is also very important for the selection of proper design and process equipment, such as heat exchangers, pumps, and evaporators (Bourne, 1982;Ibanoglu and Ibanoglu, 1998). Moreover, rheological properties of foods are used in quality control of the product, including optimization of the formulation. The rheological characteristics of products are determined by Abstract: Boza is a beverage produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeast, which affects rheological properties. In the present study, boza samples collected from a local market were characterized with reference to microbiological and rheological approaches. The boza samples were characterized with respect to their microbiological population, i.e. the numbers of LAB and yeast. The numbers of LAB and yeast were found to range from 2.88 × 10 6 to 2.06 × 10 10 CFU/mL and from 3.71 × 10 3 to 9.40 × 10 5 CFU/mL, respectively. Their steady and dynamic rheological properties were investigated within the temperature range of 0-50 °C. Apparent viscosity values (η) of the boza samples decreased with shear rate, indicating that the samples behaved as a pseudoplastic fluid. The Ostwald-de Waele model satisfactorily described (R 2 > 0.99) the flow behavior of the samples at 5 and 20 °C. Storage modulus (G′) values were higher than loss modulus (G″), indicating that boza samples had a solid-like structure. ...

ÖZET Hepatit C virüsü (HCV)Flaviviridae Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a member of Flaviviridae family and its RNA genome has high genetic heterogenity. In HCV infections, duration of treatment and the response to therapy are strongly related to HCV genotypes. In this study we aimed to identify the distribution of hepatitis C virus genotypes in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection and its association with serum alanine aminotransferases (ALT) and quantitative serum HCV
