The Effect of Cinnamon on Microbiological, Chemical and Sensory Analyses of Probiotic Yogurt
Objective: This study was performed with the aim of determining the effects of different levels of cinnamon which were added to probiotic yogurts on the microbiological, chemical and sensory properties of these yogurts Methods: In this study, probiotic yogurt was produced using yogurt and probiotic yogurt cultures. Yogurts are divided into four groups; control, cinnamon 1, cinnamon 2 and cinnamon 3 groups. To the groups, 0%, 0.3%, 1% and 2.5% of powdered cinnamon were added, respectively. Content analysis of cinnamon used in the study was conducted by gas chromatography- mass spectrometry method. Results: The addition of cinnamon to probiotic yogurt showed antibacterial activity on Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis while cinnamon depending on its concentration was found to support bacterial growth of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus. The pH values and the fat-free dry matter ratios varied depending on the proportion of cinnamon added to the yogurts. When the sensory characteristics of yogurt were compared, the score of the control group was higher than the score of cinnamon groups. On the other hand, cinnamon (1%) group had the closest score to the sensory analysis score of the control group. Conclusion: These results have shown that cinnamon added at different ratios in probiotic yogurt has a limited positive effect on the microbial, chemical and sensory properties of this food.

The Assessment of Nutritional and Physical Activity Statuses in Nutrition and Dietetics and Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Students
Purpose: The aim of this research was to assess the nutritional and physical activity statuses of nutrition and dietetics(ND) and physiotherapy and rehabilitation students at Bezmialem Vakif University Faculty of Health Sciences.Materials and Methods: A questionnaire with sociodemographic characteristics, 24-h dietary recall and national foodfrequency scales were used to determine nutrition and physical status of the students. Body mass index (BMI), waistcircumference, and body fat ratio were calculated using the bioelectric impedance analyzer. Results: A total of 209 students,125 of them were ND students and 84 of them were physiotherapy and rehabilitation students, were participate the study.Average BMI of ND students and physiotherapy and rehabilitation students are similar and calculated as 21.6 kg/m2 and22.1 kg/m2 respectively. At the same time, nearly half of the students in both departments were physically active. However,daily average energy intake was found different for each department and it was 1400.31 kcal and 1609.63 kcal, respectively(P < 0.05). When compared food group consumption for every day, it was determined that ND students consumed morefruits and vegetables group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Eventually, the results of the study were evaluated; it was found thatND students had a healthier diet than the physiotherapy and rehabilitation students.
