Abstract
Some plants have antioxidant compounds and antimicrobial properties and can be used as fractional compositions in the industry. This study aimed to investigate the radical scavenging and antimicrobial properties as well as the determination of the compounds in the seed extract of Securigera securidaca. The plant seeds were extracted by maceration method using ultrasound (50 Hz) and dried extract in this study. Then, the compounds were identified by GC/MS device and the radical scavenging capacity was determined by DPPH. The antimicrobial properties of the extract were determined by disc-diffusion method against Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes and Candida albicans strains. Fourteen (14) compounds were identified, containing 98.58% of total extract compositions, and the highest percentage was related to Mome Inositol (30.55%) and cis-9-Octadecenoic acid (20.44%). The highest radical scavenging capacity was observed at the concentration of 600 ppm of extract (91.6%). Different concentrations of the extract rather than the concentration of 0.25 mg/ml inhibited L. monocytogenes and all concentrations of extract had inhibitory effect on E. coli and the most effect was related to the concentration of 0.5 mg/ml (12.98 mm). None of the concentrations had an inhibitory effect on C. albicans. The results showed that the extract inhibitory effect increased on the strains effectively by increasing the concentration of extract. The plant extract can be used in the nutraceutical industries due to its appropriate antioxidant activity and antimicrobial properties.

Abstract
Oxidation of lipids in food is one of the most important factors in food degradation during processing, storage and distribution through adverse effects on aroma, color, nutritional value and also the production of toxic compounds. In this regard, this study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant effects of free grape pomace extract and nanoliposomes containing it on some oxidation parameters of soybean oil. In this study, 5 concentrations of nanoliposomes containing grape pomace extract (50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 ppm), one level (200 ppm) of synthetic antioxidant (BHT) and one concentration (500 ppm) of free grape pomace extract were used and tests such as Acidity, peroxide, thiobarbituric acid index, conjugate diene, oxidative stability and refractive index of oils were stored in a laboratory oven at 63 ° C for 7 days. The results showed that with increasing the concentration of nanoliposomes containing antioxidants of grape pomace extract up to 500 ppm, the increase in acidity, thiobarbituric acid index, peroxide, conjugated diene and refractive index was less intense, but at higher concentrations of nanoliposomes used in this oil, Increased more. On the other hand, it was found that with increasing storage time, the amount of acidity, thiobarbituric acid, conjugated diene increased, but the amount of peroxide and refractive index of oils increased until the fifth day and then decreased. The results also showed that the highest oxidative stability of oils (7.6 h) was related to the sample containing 500 ppm nanoliposomes containing antioxidant extract of grape pomace. Finally, it can be said that the use of nanoliposomes containing grape pomace antioxidant extract is a good alternative to synthetic antioxidants on the market.
