The issue of "Bildung" has been considered more than anyone else in Hegel's philosophical thought. He has focused more on this issue in the Phenomenology of the Spirit and Elements of the Philosophy of Right books, and the Nuremberg Speeches. In this article, two central points in Hegel's thought have been emphasized: a) the necessity of distinguishing between different types of "theological-ethical", "natural-anthropological", "political" Bildung, and finally the Hegelian "cultural-historical" Bildung; And then removing the accusation from the Hegelian system, about trying to remove God and the theological view from the Bildung concept; b) Proving that, according to Hegel, the process of education includes "nature", "individual" and "human society" at the same time, and contrary to popular opinion, it will not be limited to the human individual. Therefore, when discussing awareness, freedom, alienation, and the like, he actually explains the formation of education in these three fields.

The yoghurt fortification with bioactive-rich components is one of numerous approaches to prevent the diseases correlated with nutritional shortages. However, this method may alter product characteristics. Therefore, the aim of current research was to study the effect of bell pepper extract (BPE) with three different colors on the sensory and microbial properties of set yogurt. For yogurt preparation, 5% of concentrated BPE with the yellow, orange, or red colors were substituted with the milk used for yogurt production. Results showed that by using BPE in yogurt formulation, the count of starter bacteria increased meaningfully while for sensory attributes, except for yogurt texture and appearance, the scores of taste and color were significantly decreased (p<0.01). The mean viable counts of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) for control and  yogurt samples containing yellow, orange and red BPE were determined as  9.62, 10.09, 10.08 and 10.10 Log CFU/g, respectively. The time of storage also had significant impact on the yogurt properties and as the time of storage increased, the count of LAB and sensory scores reduced notably. Results revealed that although addition of BPE with different colors into the yogurt formulation led to inferior scores of sensory characteristics (taste and color), all the yogurts containing BPE had acceptable sensory scores (mean scores>7, i.e. good mark). Consequently, with respect to the healthy components of bell pepper extracts, a yogurt with appropriate functionality could be produced. Therefore, the use of BPE with different colors (particularly orang BPE) in production of functional yogurt is recommended.

The crucial role of food in life has prompted a shift towards products that not only offer good quality and nutritional properties but also ensure the overall health of consumers. Probiotics, which are non-pathogenic microorganisms, can restore intestinal microbial balance when consumed in sufficient quantities. In this study, Limosilactobacillus fermentum ARD2 isolated from local yogurt was investigated for its probiotic properties. Various aspects of this strain were evaluated, including acid resistance (at pH levels of 2, 3 and 4), resistance to bile salts (at concentrations of 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 %), antimicrobial activity using disk diffusion agar and well diffusion agar methods, resistance to common therapeutic antibiotics, evaluation of antioxidant activity, cell surface hydrophobicity, DNase enzyme activity, hemolytic activity, and biogenic amine and cholesterol absorption. The results of the acid resistance tests indicated that the viability of L. fermentum ARD2 increased as pH levels rose from 2 to 4, with a decrease observed over time at a constant pH over 3 hours. Growth was inhibited with increasing concentrations of bile salts. Antimicrobial testing revealed that the acidic and neutralized cell-free supernatant (aCFS and nCFS) had no significant antimicrobial effect on Escherichia coli, while nCFS showed no antimicrobial effect on Shigella dysenteriae. L. fermentum ARD2 exhibited resistance to Ciprofloxacin and was semi-sensitive to Penicillin and Nitrofurazone. The L. fermentum ARD2 showed considerable antioxidant activity, with DPPH and ABTS free radical inhibition rates of 41.40% and 43.60%, respectively. Additionally, it demonstrated the ability to reduce cholesterol absorption by 38.60%. The strain tested negative for DNase and hemolytic activities, and biogenic amine production was not observed. Based on these findings, L. fermentum ARD2 exhibits promising probiotic characteristics and could be utilized as a probiotic bacterium in food products.

Althaea officinalis is one of the plants containing mucilage, the therapeutic effect of its mucilage on the mucous membrane of the tissue and the healing of stomach ulcers has been proven. The mucilage of this plant consists of L-rhamnose, D-galactose, galacononic acid and D-glucuronic acid. The polysaccharides found in this plant have antioxidant properties. The main antioxidant activity of this plant is related to its α-tocopherol composition. Gums extracted from different sources have different functional and rheological properties than each other, and the conditions of extraction have a significant effect on these properties. In this research, the extraction efficiency of Althaea officinalis mucilage as a new hydrocolloid source was studied. For this purpose, the effect of microwave power (250-850W), water-grain ratio (50-90) and time (2-10 minutes) on the extraction efficiency were optimized. The gum extraction efficiency ranged from 4.4% to 11.6%. It can be seen that the lowest amount of extraction was obtained at a ratio of water to grain of 70, time of 2 minutes and power of 550 watts, and the maximum amount of extraction was obtained at a ratio of water to grain of 80, time of 4 minutes and microwave power of 700 watts. According to the results obtained from analysis of variance Data, quadratic model is the best model to describe data. In low powers, increasing the ratio of water to seeds led to an increase in extraction efficiency. The increase in extraction efficiency by increasing the ratio of water to seeds can be attributed to the presence of more solvent, which intensifies the driving force for the transfer of gum mass from the seeds.
