Development of erosion and sedimentation processes due to human activities or natural changes will threaten the stability of the rivers and cause hydraulic and morphological changes. Continuous changes will result in a lot of damages including damage to structures constructed in the rivers. Therefore, preserving the rivers in the equilibrium (regime) state is of great importance. In other words, determination of the stable hydraulic geometry of the rivers is one of the most important cases on which the design, planning, management and training of the river are founded. Two basic approaches have been used to predict the hydraulic geometry of gravel-bed rivers: (1) Those based on empirical regime equations; and (2) those based on the simultaneous solution of the equations governing channel flow. Currently there are considerable restrictions with the use of both methods for channel design purposes. Existing experimental hydraulic geometry relationships have been obtained for particular field conditions and based on limited data, and can be used only under the same conditions. Equally theoretical methods are applicable only to straight or fixed width and with static stability channels, due to our lack of knowledge regarding the mechanisms controlling width adjustment and meander development, a large number of theories have been developed in this regard that the basic assumptions of all include a steady and uniform flow as well as stream changes toward the equilibrium state and the main difference between these theories is the hydraulic mechanisms employed by the models to describe how the stream reaches the equilibrium state. In this Paper, an analytical model for assessing the stable condition (static and dynamic stability) and predicting river response to the applied changes (such as hydraulic changes) was proposed and univariate and bivariate hydraulic geometry relationships to be applicable in the rivers with dominant bed load, were derived. For this purpose, after reviewing the previous researches in this field, the principles and concepts of the regime and hydraulic geometry were presented. In the next step, by using the analytical model, a system of equations was solved without including bank stability constraint (unconstrained model). Due to lack of required equations to solve the system, extremal hypotheses were used. According to these theories, the river behavior is justified in order to optimize a specific morphologic parameter. a good agreement was observed between the developed exponents of hydraulic geometry relationships in this paper and the results of the empirical and analytical hydraulic geometry relationships. This represents the self-adjusting mechanism of alluvial channels by introducing the channel shape factor (bed width/depth ratio) and the inclusion of extremal hypotheses in the flow governing equations (continuity, flow resistance and sediment transport equations). Finally, developed model were calibrated using the field data of the United Kingdom and the mean relative error of the bankfull width and depth calculation is obtained 47% and 35%, respectively. obtained results confirmed the efficiency of the proposed model. Development of erosion and sedimentation processes due to human activities or natural changes will threaten the stability of the rivers and cause changes

In this study, the antioxidant and antimicrobial effect of nano coating of basil gum with black cumin essential oil (Bunium persicum) was investigated in order to increase the shelf life of rainbow trout fillets. For this purpose, black cumin essential oil was prepared using Clevenger device and the antioxidant activity of different concentrations of it (200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 ppm) was investigated. According to the results, black cumin essential oil has high antioxidant properties, and as the concentration increased, antioxidant properties were increased too. The cumin essential oil was then nanocapsulated with a basil gum coating. The nano coating, along with the essential oil (according to the electron microscope image), had a spherical and uniform surface with a low porosity percentage. Then, in order to investigate the effect of nano-coating with essential oil on the shelf life of rainbow trout fillet during a 16-day refrigeration period, 4 treatments including control and nano-coating with different concentrations of black cumin essential oil (1, 1.5 and 2 %) produced and periodic chemical parameters (peroxide, thiobarbiotic acid and volatile nitrogen bases) and microbial (total bacterial and total psychrotrophic count) were studied. The results of chemical and microbial analysis showed that, the nano-coating along with the essential oil slowed down the increasing process of oxidation and microbial indices compared to the control treatment. Until the end of the storage period, they had the allowed chemical and microbial range. Therefore, it seems that this treatment can be used as a natural antioxidant and antimicrobial in the meat and fisheries industry.

In recent decades, the demand for the use of functional compounds in food and pharmaceutical products has increased. The aim of this study was to compare the phytochemical compounds and antioxidant, anti-Alzheimer's and antimicrobial properties of Padina distromatic and Sargassum angustifulium algae extracted by ultrasound. The results showed that butanoic acid was the most important substance in Padina and Sargasum extracts. Total content of polyphenols, flavonoids and IC50 index of Padina extract and sargasum 43.45 and 46.63 mg GAE/g, flavonoid content 24.59 and 55.40 mg QE/g and IC50 index 10.38 and 30.77 g/ml respectively. The inhibitory activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) of Padina and Sargassum algae extracts was 42.5% and 25.16%, respectively. Nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory results showed that nitric oxide inhibitory activity increased with increasing the concentration of both Padina and Sargassum algae extracts (from 50 to 400 mg / ml). However, Padina algae extract had the strongest NO inhibitory activity at all concentrations. Padina extract had more antimicrobial properties compared to the algae extract of sargassum. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Padina extract at 12.5 mg/ml was obtained on Staphylococcus aureus. Padina extract at 50 mg/ml had a bactericidal effect on Staphylococcus aureus. Finally, Sargassum extract should be used as natural antioxidant and Padina extract as natural anti-Alzheimer's and antimicrobial components.

 The use of medicinal plants or the components extracted from them in different sectors of the food industry has received special attention. Therefore, in the present research, linseed oil was used in two forms, free and microcoated with alginate, in the formulation of cocoa cream. The aim of this research was to produce an functional chocolate ganache containing natural preservatives. The extraction efficiency of linseed oil was 27.73 %. The main component of linseed oil was α-linolenic acid (47.1%) and the least fatty acid detected in it was myristoleic acid (0.06%). The results showed that both evaluated oils had considerable antibacterial effects against tested microorganisms (S. Typhi, E.coli, S. aureus, A. niger, and C. albicans) and gram-negative bacteria were more resistant to linseed oil than gram-positive ones. In this regard. Black seed oil showed higher antibacterial activity and both linseed and black seed oil microcapsules had lower antibacterial effects than their free form. The sample containing 3% encapsulated linseed oil had more favorable sensory peroperties than the sample containing this oil in free form. However, the free form showed higher antibacterial activity but in the regard to the protection of bioactivity of oils from the undesirable condition, controlled release and marketability of product, loading the oils in alginate bead is a suitable way for application of black seed and linseed oil in food products.

Microencapsulation of bioactive compounds in lipid carriers, such as liposomes, in addition to improving stability during storage by increasing bioavailability and controlled release, increases the efficiency of these compounds in vivo. The studies conducted on Padina algae show the existence of a high level of phenolic and antimicrobial compounds. Also, this alga has a significant amount of polyphenols with antioxidant and anti-AChE (acetylcholinesterase) properties, which can be used as a supplement to improve neurological disorders. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to produce and investigate the structural properties of nanoliposomes containing Padina algae extract using the heating method. The particle size of nanoliposomes produced at varying levels of lecithin and loaded extract was obtained in the range between 318 and 60 nm. The resulting values ​​for the polydispersity index and zeta potential indicate the uniformity of the produced particles along with the high electrostatic repulsion between the particles. The ability to load liposome particles at the lowest level of wall substance and the highest concentration level of the extract reached 52.8±0.3% in this research. Evaluation of the morphological characteristics of the structure using a transmission electron microscope shows the formation of uniform particles with a spherical geometry. The results of this research show the ability to produce a liposome structure containing Padina algae extract with suitable structural properties. These results can improve the prospect of possible use of this extract with a therapeutic approach.

Nowadays, due to the interest in consuming extra-beneficial foods and the increasing spread of cardiovascular diseases, the desire to consume extra-beneficial products has increased. Therefore, researchers are looking for the optimization of new formulations of products with practical features in this direction. The study aimed to produce a functional energy drink containing tannin-linoleic acid-conjugated chitosome. After extracting bioactive compounds (especially tannin) from pomegranate peel, they were included in the structure of chitosomes along with conjugated linoleic acid. The results showed the significant effect of different concentrations of pomegranate biological extract on the oxidative stability of linoleic acid. The results showed the significant effect of different concentrations of pomegranate biological extract on the oxidative stability of linoleic acid. The examination of nano-chitosome groups showed the presence of structures in pomegranate bioactive along with linoleic acid in chitosomes. The uniformly chitosan spherical particles were observed with sizes of 77.66 and 79.90 nm. The addition of nano chitosomes showed a significant increase in pH (decrease in acidity), increase in turbidity, viscosity, two phases, and phenolic content. Also, a decrease in the L* value and an increase in a* and b* values were reported. The present results showed that biopolymers play a key role in the stability of the liposome membrane structure. They have a stable release of molecules trapped by a spatial barrier on the surface. This nano chitosome will provide a potential platform for the carrier's design for nutrients or preservatives, to increase the shelf life and safety of food matrices.
