Abstract
In this study, the antibacterial effect of eucalyptus extract on different bacteria showed that the bulk of compounds present in the sap of eucalyptus leaves were formed by the phenolic compounds. starch was prepared for the production of starch film was used to improve the quality of film by 10 % of the volume of glycerol. ground beef production was evaluated by adding 0.5 and 1.5 percent of eucalyptus oil to the film, then ground mutton meat was packed with film, and microbial and chemical properties and transparency of meat after preservation in the fridge were studied in times 1, 3 and 6 days. according to the results, inhibition of DPPH increased with an increase in the amount of extract and the highest percentage was reported on day 3. also the results of TBA with a decrease in the amount of extract decreased and the maximum reduction rate was reported on day 3. according to the results, the total population count of microorganisms decreased with an increase in the amount of extract and the maximum reduction rate was reported on day 3, but did not have significant differences with the sample count on the day 6 with the spread of corruption. (P> 0.05) is based on the results that Staphylococcus aureus has decreased by increasing the amount of extract and the maximum reduction rate is reported on day 3. However, on the day 3 at 0.5 % extract , its extracts and on the day 6 with the spread of corruption, the number of samples did not show significant differences. according to the results, the amount of transparency and color spectrum decreased with the increase of the extract and had significant differences with the sample.

Abstract
Today, saturated and trans fatty acids are one of the most important potential health limitations of consuming prepared foods. Fast foods are widely consumed by adults and children due to their quick preparation and the popularity of the taste. As a result, it is very important to control the amount of saturated and trans fatty acids in fast foods. The city of Tehran was divided into five regions: north, south, west, east and center, and from each region, three types of fast food, including mixed pizza, falafel and Chicken nuggets, and three samples from each fast food (a total of 45 samples from 45 different grocery stores were randomly selected). In this study, the concentration of trans fatty acids was calculated as a percentage by Agilent7890A gas chromatography. The average of saturated fatty acids in falafel fast food, mixed pizza and chicken nuggets were 18.02, 36.35 and 19.11 g / 100g, respectively. The average trans acids of chicken nugget fast food, mixed pizza and falafel were 0.36, 0.71 and 0.06 g / 100g, respectively. The difference between different regions of Tehran was not significant in terms of saturated and trans fatty acid content (P> 0.05). Consumption of trans fatty acids through fast food in Tehran is appropriate in comparison with international standards. The lower risk factors than the global standards in this study is due to the low per capita consumption of fast food in Iran (IR = 4 g / day).

Abstract
Fish is one of the most important and valuable sources of protein, fat and energy, but it is very corruptible and will be corrupted faster than other meat dishes. The present study was carried out to determine the effect of Spirulina algae chitosan coating on maintaining the quality of Huso huso fresh fillet during storage in refrigerator. Fresh fillets of chitosan solution (1%) containing 1% algae extract, treated and stored in a refrigerator. Microbial and chemical tests including total bacterial count and psychrophilic bacteria, pH, TBA as well as sensory evaluation were performed periodically for all specimens and measured for DPPH .eagla For algae - containing coatings, the total bacterial load was 2.56×106 cfu/ml and on the fifth day it was still in acceptable range for human consumption, but in control samples, 3.81×107 cfu/ml it was five days that exceeded the limit. Serum bacterial levels for control treatment were significantly higher than that of extract containing chitosan coatings and TBA values were significantly higher in the control fillets than in the first treatment, while the pH values in the control sample with the treated sample, there was no significant increase. Current study showed that using algae extract containing chitosan coating can prevent bacterial growth in fresh fish fillets and maintain its sensory properties including texture, smell, color and general acceptance. And increased the fish storage period in the refrigerator.

Abstract
With the increasing awareness of consumers regarding the health effects of calcium, the enrichment of dairy products with calcium has increased. However, adding calcium salts to sterile milk can cause milk instability and increase sedimentation. In this research, the effect of adding hydrocolloids of carbox ymethyl cellulose (0.01%), kappa carrageenan (0.02%) and a mixture of carboxy methyl cellulose and kappa carrageenan on the physicochemical and sensory properties of calcium-enriched sterile milk was investigated. The results indicated that the addition of carboxy methyl cellulose and kappa carrageenan had no significant effect on the pH, acidity, and electrical conductivity of milk samples (p˃0.05), but during the storage period, the pH of the samples decreased, and their acidity and electrical conductivity increased significantly (p<0.05). The maximum thermal stability was observed in the first treatment (0.01% carboxymethyl cellulose and 0.15% calcium citrate) and the third (0.01% carboxymethyl cellulose, 0.02% capacarrageenan and 0.15% calcium citrate), while Control samples and the second treatment (0.02% capacarrageenan and 0.15% calcium citrate) had less thermal stability.The results showed that in all the samples, the percentage of precipitation increased significantly with increasing storage time (p<0.05), but in the treatment samples and in the presence of carboxy methyl cellulose hydrocolloids and kappa carrageenan, the percentage of calcium precipitation decreased and viscosity increased significantly (p<0.05). It seems that the sediment consists of accumulations of proteins or protein particles of different sizes that are precipitated together with calcium and phosphate under the influence of gravity. Evaluation of overall acceptance determined that the control sample and the first treatment were the most acceptable among the tested treatments. It seems that the reduction of sediment in the first treatment and its lower viscosity compared to other treatments have been effective in increasing the overall acceptance score of the first treatment in terms of evaluators.

Abstract
In this study, an optimal pH-sensitive intelligent film based on starch at the level of 1% w/v containing 0.1% potato starch nanocrystals and anthocyanin extracted from the Dutch rose plant (Rosa hybrida) at the level of 0.5% w/v was designed and used to determine the spoilage of chicken fillet at refrigerator temperature during 12 days of storage. The index of volatile nitrogen bases ¹ and thiobarbituric acid ² of chicken samples increased significantly during 12 days.
The results showed that the inoculation of the extract in the biofilm changed the total population of bacteria and psychrophilic bacteria in chicken fillets to below detectable levels within 8 and 12 days, respectively. The present study showed that the color change of the smart film at the end of the storage day corresponds to the microbial growth pattern and also the increase in TBA, TVB-N and pH, which is caused by the production of nitrogenous substances and alkaline compounds by mesophilic and psychrophilic bacteria.
Therefore, the film of potato starch nanocrystals/potato starch containing Dutch rose extract can be used as an indicator of the freshness of meat fillet.

Abstract
The effect of gum tragacanth (0, and 0.15%) and Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) (0, 2.5, and 5%) on the chemical and rheological properties, phase separation, Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) viability, and sensory characteristics of an Iranian dairy drink "Doogh" was investigated during 20 days of storage. Results cleared the stability of Dooghs prepared with Gum Tragacanth Dispersions (GTD) was significantly higher than samples without this hydrocolloid (P< 0.05). Doogh samples’ viscosity in the presence of Fennel Extract Powder (FEP) was increased significantly (P< 0.05). Power-law and Herschel-Bulkley rheological models were appropriate models for describing the flow behavior of control and treated Doogh samples, respectively. The results showed that by increasing the amounts of FEP, LAB viability increased while the fungi population decreased significantly (P< 0.05). Therefore, this herbal powder could stimulate LAB growth and control the fungi population in treated samples. Finally, adding GTD to the Doogh sample was proper for improving stability, and enrichment with Fennel was suitable for increasing LAB viability and microbial spoilage control.
