Özet:

The world's richest resources of boron, an essential element for living things, are found in Turkey. Boron mineral is used in many fields, especially in industry and agriculture. Boron, which is found in various forms in nature and transferred from soil to plants and drinking water, enters human life through nutrition, breathing and skin. The biochemical and metabolic effects of boron compounds on health are quite high. This study covers the investigation of the use of boron in the food industry based on its possible effects on humans, animals and microorganisms. When we look at the studies, boron has been used in the food industry to prevent microbial spoilage of foods, to enrich them in terms of nutrients, to improve their textural properties, to increase shelf life and to protect their sensory properties. However, there is a need for more comprehensive studies on this subject in our country.
