background: sohan is an iranian traditional brittle confection which its ingredients are susceptible to oxidation and microbial contamination during storage. this experimental study was designed to determine the effect of damask rose (rosa damascena mill.) extract on some chemical, microbial, and sensory properties of sohan during storage at 25 °c. methods: the sohan ingredients were mixed, bak...

plant extracts are rich sources of natural antioxidant and antibacterial compounds. in recent decades, the need for using natural antioxidants in foods, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics has promopted extensive scientific research. the purpose of this study was to investigation of effect of different percentages of rosemary extract (0, 1, 2.5 and 5%) on the quality, chemical and microbial of the pr...

Background: Hand-made cheeses are usually prepared following dissimilar procedures which influence the quality and the organoleptic properties of the products. Objective of the present study was to evaluate how manufacturing season and ripening time affect hand-made Pecorino Abruzzese cheese. Methods: Microbiological and physicochemical characteristics were investigated on raw milk cheeses pro...

the aim of this study was to determine and scrutiny about chemical compounds and microbial load changes of broiler chicks’ diet due to gamma irradiation processing. there were 12 broiler chicks’ diets weighting one kg that including 4 packs from starter period, 4 packs from grower period and 4 packs from finisher period. feeds were irradiated in four doses including 0, 6.7, 7.7 and 8.7 kilogray...

Aim: To analyse the microbial profile of canine persistent wound infections. Materials and Methods: The total wound samples (n=172) taken from both traumatic (140) and post-surgical (32) persistent wounds in canines were processed for routine microbial isolation and identification during a period of 15 months. Results: Staphylococcus intermedius was found to be the predominant isolate from all ...

Abstract There is evidence for the beneficial effects of forage peanut on nutritive value and fermentation profile silages; however, its sugarcane silage have not been determined. The objective study was to evaluate chemical composition, profile, microbial dry matter recovery (DMR) containing various amounts (Arachis pintoi cv. Belmonte) (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% a fresh basis), treated or untreated w...

background: today, in an attempt to reduce the human exposure to synthetic compounds such as chemical preservatives, some studies aimed at the replacement of artificial preservatives with natural ingredients with natural protective effects. methods: in the present study the microbial inhibition effect of saturejaba chtiarica essential oil in three different concentrations (0.1, 0.05, and 0.025%...

[1] Microbial biodiversity in groundwater and soil presents a unique opportunity for improving characterization and monitoring at sites with multiple contaminants, yet few computational methods use or incorporate these data because of their high dimensionality and variability. We present a systematic, nonparametric decision-making methodology to help characterize a water quality gradient in lea...
