Cold stress is an ‎important limiting factor for cereal production. Barley is a host species for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) with a high genetic diversity in response to cold stress. In order to explore the mechanisms for the ameliorative effect of AMF under cold stress, an experiment was undertaken using completely randomized block design with three factors including temperature treatme...

The present study examined the effects of chitosan (Ch) and chitosan combined with sodium tripolyphosphate (Nch) nanoparticles as coating materials for Cynoglossus arel fillets during superchilling storage. Treatments included the following: C (untreated, control samples), AC (treated with 1% glacial acetic acid, acid control), Ch (treated with 2% w/v chitosan solution, Chitosan) and Nch (treat...

The present study was designed to investigate the inhibitory effect of 2,4 bis-[(4-ethoxyphenyl)azo] 5-(3-hydroxybenzylidene) thiazolidine-2,4-dione (TZD-OCH2CH3) on the cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in RAW 264.7 cells. The effects of TZD-OCH2CH3 on COX-2 and iNOS mRNA expression in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells ...

Introduction:Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is one of the major preventable causes of mental retardation (MR) in infants. Before the implementation of screening programs, early diagnosis of CH at birth was impossible, and led to MR during childhood. CH screening not only promotes early diagnosis and rapid treatment, but also prevents the complications associated with CH. It also decreases famil...

Background and Objectives: Nowadays, to avoid the use of synthetic preservatives, which do more harm than good, numerous studies are currently focused on using natural ingredients to enhance food product quality and shelf life. Since no study has been conducted on combining coatings with electrolyzed water containing natural antimicrobial compounds, the present study has innovation and priority...

One of the most significant challenges within production probiotic products is survival and functionality bacteria during processing shelf life. In this research, bacterium Bifidobacterium bifidum was used as adjunct culture for Iranian white cheese containing different percentages Allium ampeloprasum L. ssp. iranicum Wendelbo extracts (1% 2% in fresh dried form). The effects plant extract on b...
