In this study the effect of grape fiber and chitosan on Lactobacillus Fermentum viability, physicochemical and sensorial properties in yoghurt containing kiwi was investigated during storage, using response surface methodology (RSM). Amounts of grape fiber, chitosan and storage time were in the range of 0-1.2 %, 0-1 % and 3-21 day, respectively. The results indicated that with increasing the amount of chitosan, Lactobacillus Fermentum viability decreased, but it was increased by increasing grape fiber during storage significantly (P<0.05). Moisture and syneresis of samples reduced significantly by increasing the amounts of chitosan and fiber (P<0.05). According to sensory evaluation, increasing the amounts of chitosan caused decrease in color scores. Flavor scores decreased as grape fiber increased significantly (P<0.05). In conclusion, using 0.9 % grape fiber, 0.1 % chitosan, and 12 day storage were found as optimum conditions for producing probiotic kiwi fruit yogurt.

The waste heat management in heavy industry significantly increase productivity in this sector. Organic Rankine cycles (ORCs) are appropriate technology for the conversion of low quality thermal energy to electrical power. The Organic Rankine Cycle(ORC) applies the principle of the steam Rankine cycle, but uses organic working fluids with low boiling points can be used to recover heat from lower temperature heat sources. In this study the performances of three different organic Rankine cycles (ORCs) systems including the basic ORC (BORC) system, the single-stage regenerative ORC (SRORC) system and the double-stage regenerative ORC (DRORC) system using five different working fluids under the same waste heat condition are optimized by thermo-economic method using genetic algorithm. The results indicate that the R113 has the best performance between fluids. The optimized turbine inlet temperature and pressure in comparison with when exergy efficiency uses only, decreases. By changing basic Rankine cycle to the single-stage regenerative and the double-stage regenerative cycles, 12.5% and 18.75% change in specific power cost occurs respectively. Also results indicate that, as superheat degree in turbine inlet increases, the specific power cost increase and the exergy efficiency of system decreases.
