The Aeneid is one of the master pieces of the epic literature in the world and, without doubt, the most precious model of Latin epic. In spite of the fact that this book could be considered an artificial epic, but even in this case, the truth is mixed with the fantasy, and the mythology of the poet is based upon the neglected historical facts. This article has tried to contemplate the rhetorical aspects of the Aeneid, using the epical text of the archaic Latin poets who were influenced by Grecian poetry. Thus, after giving a brief biography of each author, the major stylistic character which has affected the Aeneid will be illustrated. It is considerable that the classical Latin grammar with its evident difference from the Vulgar Latin had a crucial role in the formation of the rhetorical style in the Aeneid.

In general, various physicochemical changes can occur in bread in post-baking conditions, known as staleness. Certain additives and improvers are seemingly practical for retarding the staleness of bread. Therefore, the present study investigates the effect of different concentrations (50% and 40%) of date pit microencapsulated with the fluidized-bed method and using maltodextrin, mangosteen gum, and MCT oil (Medium Chain Triglyceride) as coating materials added in the formulation of Baguette bread on staleness and organoleptic properties of the bread. According to the results, bread samples with 1% nanocapsules containing 40% concentration of date pit extract showed the highest moisture (38.41%), highest volume (284.21 cm³), minimum staleness in periods of 24, 48, and 72 h after baking, lowest changes in the temperature of bread center (20 to 132 ℃), and the most desirable organoleptic properties (α=1%). However, the highest phenolic content (231.12 mg GAE/μl) was measured in bread samples with 3% nanocapsules containing a 50% concentration of date pit extract (α=1%).
