IntroductionDonut is a type of sweet fried snack which is usually produced from leavened and deep fried dough. The deliciousness and high energy of donut has made it very popular among sweet products made from wheat flour. The sensitivity of wheat flour to weather conditions as well as bad economic conditions in recent years led to perfomingt research to replacewheat flour with other grains. Quinoa is a rich source of protein (the essential amino acids lysine, methionine, cysteine, and threonine), magnesium, fiber, vitamin B, potassium, and other minerals such as iron. Quinoa seeds have less starch than other grains (wheat, barley, corn, and rice). The value of dietary fiber in quinoa is much more in comparison to other grains, it had about 31% insoluble fiber. Also, as a source of phytoestrogens, it prevents cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and osteoporosis. The main problem with quinoa to be used for human diet is the presence of saponin in the outer shell of the seed. Saponins are considered anti-nutritional agents due to their hemolytic activity on red blood cells, bitterness, foaming ability, and inhibition of enzymes. Therefore, the most important step for using quinoa in food products is to remove saponin. The other problem with using saponin its too bitterness hence causing bloating and heartburn. This study aimed to choose the best saponinization method from quinoa and the possibility of using the saponinization quinoa instead of wheat in donut formulation and investigation the quality, texture, and sensory properties of the donuts. Materials of Methods The methods for saponin removal include (maceration, microwave, ultrasound, wet method, and a combination of wet and dry methods) were compared. Donuts were produced with quinoa flour at two levels of 20 and 40% substitution. The Fiber, ash, and protein values of wheat flour, saponinized quinoa flour, and donuts with different levels of saponinized quinoa flour were measured. The effect of replacement wheat flour with saponinized quinoa flour on oil absorption, texture, SEM, and sensory properties of donuts was evaluated. Results and Discussion A comparison between different methods of saponinization indicated that the ultrasound method had the minimum efficiency in saponin removal and the highest amount of saponin removal was in the combined wet and dry methods, followed by the maceration method. The difference between the combined method and maceration was not significant and had the most influence in extracting saponin from quinoa flour. Of course, the maceration method is economically important due to the long time of the process and production of a lot of waste water leading to loss of nutrients from quinoa. The highest amount of protein, fiber, and ash was obtained in saponinized quinoa flour and a donut containing 40% quinoa flour. The amount of firmness, elasticity, SEM, and sensory properties in the sample with 20% quinoa flour had similar characteristics to the control sample, but increasing the amount of quinoa flour reduced these factors. The oil absorption percentage in donuts containing 40% quinoa flour was higher than in other samples. The results of using saponinized quinoa flour on the sensory characteristics (color crust and crumbs, taste, smell, texture and overall acceptance) of donuts showed that donut with 20% quinoa was similar to the control sample and was acceptable for panelists but increased the concentration up to 40% wasn’t pleasant. Conclusion In this study, the saponinized quinoa flour used in donut formulation to increase the nutritional value and reduced the calories of donuts also overcame the challenges of wheat shortage. The saponinization methods were compared to choose the method with the highest saponin removal. Then donut with saponinized quinoa flour was prepared. The use of saponinized quinoa flour as a replacement of wheat flour increased the nutritional value of donuts. Adding saponinized quinoa flour to the donuts formulation significantly declined the oil absorptions. Generally, the donuts containing saponinized quinoa flour had relatively similar sensory properties to the donuts with wheat flour (commercial donuts). Therefore, it seems that saponinized quinoa flour could be used successfully to improve the nutritional value of donuts and also consumers' acceptance.

IntroductionMayonnaise is a products which is widely popular in most countries. Apart from the desirable taste of this product as a seasoning, plays an effective role in providing nutrients and energy for humans. Dietary mayonnaise, is semi-solid or liquid product prepared from emulsification fat substitutes and vegetable oils with vinegar and other additives with less energy and fat. Fat has more calories (9 kcal/g) compared to protein and carbohydrates (4 kcal/g). Mayonnaise is an oil-in-water emulsion and due to having high amounts of fat it causes cardiovascular diseases. Gums are part of construction formula in low fat products to create texture. Due to the great desire to consume low-fat products and also the wide use of this sauce, production of low-fat mayonnaise is important. The purpose of this research was to develop reduced fat mayonnaise using stabilized nano emulsion with casein complex Pickering and Gadomeh Shirazi gum. Materials and MethodsMayonnaise with reduced oilcontains 30, 40 and 50 percent Pickering emulsion replacement oil respectively at the level of 42, 32 and 22 percent produced and compared with the control sample. Centrifugal and time stability tests, textural features, color characteristics, morphology, organoleptic properties were evaluated. Results and DiscussionThe results showed as the replacement percentage increases nano emulsion containing Pickering particles and reducing the percentage of fat in mayonnaise emulsion stability she found her mayonnaise sauce although at a replacement level of 30% nano emulsion, this decrease in stability was not significant (P<0.05). In the time stability test low-fat mayonnaise with an increase in the percentage of nano emulsion replacement, After 90 day’s significant difference between the control sample and mayonnaise no significant difference was observed with oil reduced by 30 and 40%. In the colorimetry test it showed that among the factors L*. a*. b statistically with the sample there was a significant difference (P≤0/05). Brightness In the witness sample, it was 48/85 in connection with RFM50% the least complex of particles Gadomeh Shirazi gum and casein protein and in relation to RFM30% the most complex of particles Gadomeh Shirazi gum and casein were used. Due to the presence of nanoemulsion contains complex particles Gadomeh Shirazi gum particles and protein. The brightness has decreased in general, from the RFM50% sample up to RFM 30% samples simultaneous with increasing amount of nanoemulsion and reduce the amount of fat the brightness is reduced. ConclusionBy replacing the nano emulsion and reducing the amount of fat in the structure of the sauce the amount of tissue stiffness decreased and pheneritis increased. The sensory test of the samples showed, the witness sample has the most general acceptance but there is a significant difference between the samples there was no reduced-fat mayonnaise with the control. Investigating the characteristics of mayonnaise with reduced fat using nanoemulsion stabilized with complex Pickerings casein and Shirazi Gadomeh gum the results showed that with the increase, reduce the amount of oil up to 30%, Sensory and texture characteristics in a meaningful way decreased. But oil reduction up to 50% in the presence of Pickering nanoemulsion preserve textural features and promoted in some cases. All emulsions produced of favorable stability during storage and centrifugation had. Best stability in control and sample RFM-30% was observed. Based on the results, use of nanoemulsion maintains quality characteristics mayonnaise with oil especially reduced in the sample RFM 30%, it was. Also note to the point that Pickering emulsion structure in the digestive system high stability against digestion, is hope Pickering nanoemulsion structure in the production of food products various low-fat items be investigated further.

IntroductionAppropriate and effective decolorization of raw and thin juice in sugar refineries is considered as an important process to obtain premium quality sugar, which due to the problems of its conventional process, membrane processes as effective and environmentally friendly processes can be used in parts of sugar industries. Among the disadvantages of the usual methods to remove membrane fouling, it can be mentioned the destruction of the membrane, environmental pollution, the remaining detergents in the membrane and the product, especially in the pharmaceutical and food industries, and the increase in production costs. Therefore, it seems that physical methods such as pre-filtration of the incoming feed, using turbulent and pulse currents to prevent excessive compression of the gel layer formed on the membrane surface are more effective and have fewer disadvantages. One of the ways to change the flow of feed entering the membrane surface is bubbling, which causes mixing the flow and increases the tangential shear stress. In fact, the hydrodynamic force that creates bubbles causes both the dragging force and the lifting force and leads to the removal of fouling and reducing the phenomenon of concentration polarization. Materials and Methods In this research, an ultrafiltration membrane (MWCO=10 KDa) pilot with a flat module (effective surface 40 square centimeters) was used to purify raw beet juice (which had passed a stage of pre-treatment with microfiltration) at the temperature of about 30 degrees Celsius and a trans membrane pressure of 3.5 bar during the process. Nitrogen gas in the amount of 0.5, 1 and 1.5 liters per minute was used in two continuous and interrupted modes for bubbling. In this way, in the interrupted mode, after every 3 minutes of filtration, the filtration process was carried out with gas for one minute. The factors such as flux, fouling and membrane resistance as membrane efficiency's factors and parameters like color, purity and turbidity as purification factors was investigated in the form of a completely random design and compared with control filtration conditions (without bubble generation). The results of this research were statistically analyzed using SAS (version 1.9) and Microsoft Office Excel 2019 software. The average data of each test in three repetitions was compared with the least significant difference (LSD) test at the 95% level. Results and DiscussionIncreasing the amount of gas during the bubbling process improved the flow rate. Also, the results showed that the decreasing trend of the permeate flux at the gassing rate of 1.5 L/min was less than other treatments and more stable conditions were seen in the sap flux during the process. Also, the amount of flux in the interrupted form of bubbling showed that after the application of bubbling, although the amount of flux increased, but after that, during the ultra-refining process, the flux decreased again and did not remain constant at that level. But in general, despite the fact that the average flux was higher in the continuous process compared to the interrupted state, there was no significant difference between them. The results related to the amount of membrane fouling after applying the process showed that by applying bubble generation in both continuous and interrupted mods, the fouling was significantly reduced compared to the usual state of ultrafiltration. Also, as the amount of gas entering the feed stream increased, the membrane fouling decreased, which was slightly higher in the continuous state than in the interrupted mod. The overall hydrodynamic resistance of the membrane in different filtration modes showed that the difference between the overall resistance of the membrane in the ultrafiltration and the ultrafiltration process with gasification is quite significant. However, although the overall resistance of the membrane in the interrupted gassing state is higher than its continuous state due to more clogging, there is no significant difference between them (P<0.05).Since the flux changes and the amount of gel layer formation affect the properties of the purified syrup, the properties of the syrup were also investigated in the best flux created in two continuous and interrupted modes. The results showed that the continuous flow of gasification caused a small defect in the purification properties such as purity, color and turbidity due to the improvement of the permeate flow flux, which of course can be ignored in the sugar industry due to the improvement of the permeate flow flux. ConclusionTherefore, in general, it can be said that the discontinuous method, due to less gas consumption during bubbling and no significant difference in the amount of flux compared to the continuous mode, can be considered as the optimal mode of gasification during the experiments conducted in this research be placed.

Introduction Gelatin is one of the most widely used colloidal proteins, which has unique hydrocolloidal property. Gelatin is derived from collagen by changing the thermal nature. This product is widely used in food, pharmaceutical, biomedical, cosmetic and photography industries. Global gelatin demand for food and non-food products is increasing. Two important properties of nanoparticles are: Increasing the surface-to-volume ratio of nanoparticles causes the atoms on the surface to have a much greater effect on their properties than the atoms within the particle volume. The effects of quantum size, which is the second feature. Methods for preparing nanoparticles from natural macromolecules: In general, two major methods for making protein nanoparticles have been reported Emulsion-solvent evaporation method and sedimentation or phase separation method in aqueous medium. Numerous methods have been reported for the preparation of nanoparticles from natural macromolecules. The first method is based on emulsification and the second method is based on phase separation in aqueous medium. In the first method, due to the instability of the emulsion, it is not possible to prepare nanoparticles smaller than 500 nm with a narrow particle size distribution. Therefore, coagulation method or anti-solvent method which is based on phase separation was proposed to prepare nanoparticles from natural macromolecules. Materials and Methods Type B (cow) gelatin was purchased from processing company with Bloom 260-240 food and pharmaceutical Iran solvent gelatin solution of 25% aqueous acetate glutaraldehyde from Iran Neutron Company. Two-stage anti-solvent method was used to produce gelatin nanoparticles. Then, to form nanoparticles, acetone was added dropwise while stirring until the dissolved acetone begins to change color and eventually turns white, which indicates the formation of nanoparticles. Finally, glutaraldehyde solution was added for cross-linking and finally centrifuged. Results and Discussion The results showed that with increasing gelatin concentration, nanoparticle size and PDI increased significantly. According to the announced results, the solvent has a direct effect on the size. Therefore, the best mixing speed is determined to achieve the smallest particle size. Zeta potential is the best indicator for determining the electrical status of the particle surface and a factor for the stability of the potential of the colloidal system because it indicates the amount of charge accumulation in the immobile layer and the intensity of adsorption of opposite ions on the particle surface. If all the particles in the suspension are negatively or positively charged, the particles tend to repel each other and do not tend to accumulate. The tendency of co-particles to repel each other is directly related to the zeta potential. Fabricated gelatin nanoparticles have a stable structure, and are heat resistant. These nanoparticles are ready to be used to accept a variety of aromatic substances, compounds with high antioxidant properties, a variety of vitamins and heat-sensitive substances. ConclusionThe results of this study showed that the optimal conditions for the production of a particle of 88.6 nm at 40 ° C, the volume of acetone consumption was 15 ml, concentration 200 mg and speed 1000 rpm, and the morphology of gelatin nanoparticles have resistant, spherical polymer structure and mesh with a smooth surface that can be clearly seen under an electron microscope.

[1]Introduction: Sesame oil and sweet almond oil are rich in unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidant components, providing nutritional and functional properties including improvement of the gastrointestinal system, decrease in blood cholesterol level, eventually leading to a decrease in the risk of cardiovascular disease. The present study examined the possibility of the production of emulsion based on sesame and sweet almond oils and the effect of preparation on its stability. Material and methods: Sesame oil and sweet almond oil with tween 80 and span 80 as emulsifiers were used in emulsion production. In order to prepare the nanoemulsions, the water and oil phases were prepared separately by the ultrasonic homogenizer. Ultrasonic waves were applied for homogenization and the effect of Ultrasonic time (5, and 10 min), oil content (2, and 4%), and emulsifier concentration (0.25, 0.5%) on particle size, particle distribution index (PDI), turbidity loss rate, emulsion stability and zeta potential of nanoemulsions were studied. Results and discussion: Ultrasonic time had a reverse effect on particle size, particle distribution index (PDI) and turbidity loss rate and a direct effect on emulsion stability. The particle size and turbidity loss rate of prepared emulsions had a direct relation with oil concentration and a negative effect on emulsion stability. Emulsifier concentration had a positive effect on emulsion stability, a negative effect on emulsion stability, and had no significant effect on turbidity loss rate. According to the results of the effect of type and concentration of oil on particle size distribution, turbidity reduction rate and stability of nanoemulsions in all cases, samples containing sesame oil with a concentration of 2% compared to sweet almond oil, had better results, the presence of this oil led to the formation of nanoemulsions with smaller particles and greater stability. The produced nanoemulsions had a particle size between 200-320 nm, a stability of 91-98/7% and a turbidity reduction rate of 0.0010-0.0027. Also, the highest stability and zeta potential were reported 98.7 % and -33mV respectively, which belonged to sample k4. Therefore, this sample was selected as the optimal sample.The results showed that the particle size, mean particle diameter, particle dispersion and turbidity reduction rate showed a significant difference between the samples, so that the lowest and highest were related to K4 sample (2% sesame oil, homogenization time 10 minutes and Emulsifier concentration ratio 0.5%) and sample B5 (almond oil 4%, homogenization time 5 minutes and emulsifier concentration ratio 0.5%) (p <0.05). The results also showed that the highest level of stability and zeta potential was related to K4 sample. Thus, the best nanoemulsion, K4 sample was introduced

Introduction: Doogh is a fermented milk drink mixed with water and a little salt. The production and exportation of dough as a native Iranian fermented beverage has grown steadily in recent years. One of the disadvantages that causes corrosion and increases doogh deterioration is the spoilage caused by the activity of molds and yeasts. The common method for increasing shelf life of food (such as doogh) is drying by using spray dryer that eventually lead to reducing the volume, costs of carrying and easy usage. The objective of this study was to produce a doogh powder by spray drying method and investigate the effect of Alyssum homolocarpum seed gum on its physicochemical properties. Material and Methods: In this study, yogurt (1.5% fat), salt, distilled water, maltodextrin (GPC brand), and Alyssum homolocarpum seed gum were used. Alyssum homolocarpum seed gum was cleaned and the foreign particles were separated. The whole grain gum was extracted using distilled water in a water-to-seed ratio of 30 to 1 with a pH of about 8 and a temperature of 48°C and dried at 70°C in a vacuum oven and then powdered. Brine (7% salt) was prepared with boiled distilled water at 80°C. After dissolution, a certain amount of Alyssum homolocarpum seed gum was added (at concentrations of 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2% separately). The solution was stirred for 10 minutes with a magnetic stirrer at 60°C. After complete dissolution, 40g of yogurt (1.5% fat with pH=4.1) was added to gum solution. The final volume of doogh was at 100g. To completely dissolve the particles, a magnetic stirrer with a speed of 2000 rpm for 15 minutes at 60°C was used. The temperature was then reduced to 20°C and the final product was packed in 500 ml bottles. Doogh was dried using a spray dryer in optimal conditions, feed intake flow of 44.5 ml/ min and drying temperature of 190°C. The physicochemical properties of dough powder such as pH, acidity, moisture content, dry matter, solubility, dispersability, and serum separation as well as glass transition temperature and particle size were determined. Doogh treatments consisted of 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2% containing Alyssum homolocarpum seed gum and also a control sample. All the experiments were performen in triplicate. The results were analyzed as means± standard deviation (SD). Thus, the data were determined using the software SPSS (2013). Statistical differences were analyzed by variance (ANOVA) and Duncan’s multiple range test (P values <0.05). Results and Discussion:The results showed that by increasing the Alyssum homolocarpum seed gum , moisture and serum separation were decreased and acidity, dry matter, solubility, dispersability ,particle size and glass transition temperature were increased. With increasing gum concentration from 0.05 to 0.1 and from 0.15 to 0.2%, the acidity increased significantly (P<0.05).The rate of dehydration of samples containing different percentages of gum after three weeks showed that the use of Alyssum homolocarpum seed gum significantly reduced serum segregation. The results showed that by increasing the concentration of gum, the particle size of the dough powder was significantly reduced (p<0.05).With the increase in the amount of gum, the rate of diffusion increased significantly (P<0.05).With increasing gum concentration and decreasing moisture, the glass transfer temperature of the powder samples increased. The control sample had the lowest and the 0.2 gum treatment had the highest glass transfer temperature (P<0.05).

Introduction: Fats have a special place in human nutrition and their main role is supplying energy for the body. But scientific findings approve an association between high fat intake and an increment risk of some diseases, such as atherosclerosis, heart disease, and …. Demand for low-fat foods has increased dramatically as people become more aware of fat consumption side effects. However, due to the multiple role of fats in food products, eliminating or decreasing fat lead to poor quality of products. Therefore, it is necessary to use a combination of fat substitutes to maintain the rheological, texture and sensory properties of the low fat food products. The use of emulsion gel structures are new methods for the production of low-fat product that has been studied in this investigation. The Pickering emulsion was used to produce the emulsion. In this method, instead of using surface-active agents, solid particles are used to stabilize the emulsion. The aim of this study was to prepare Pickering Emulsion from Isolated Soybean protein (ISP) and Basil Seed Gum (ISP-BSG) Complex. Finally, emulsion gel systems were applied as fat substitutes in cream. Materials and Methods: Basil seeds were purchased from Mashhad market. Isolated soy protein was purchased from Shandong Yuxin Bio-Tech Co. (China). Sodium azide was purchased from Applichem Inc. (Dramstadt, Germany). Sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) was obtained from Merck, Germany. Pickering (solid particles) of soy protein isolate (SPI) and SPI-basil seed gum (ISP-BSG) complex used as emulsifier for stabilization of cold emulsion. ISP-BSG particles were prepared with different mass ratios of ISP: BSG, 1: 0, 1: 1, 2: 1 and 3: 1 and named 1S: 0B, 1S: 1B, 2S: 1B and 3S: 1B, respectively. These solid particles were used as Pickering for emulsion preparation. Cold Emulsion was prepared by adding calcium chloride. The oil leakage, oil leakage after thermal treatments, microscopic structure, textural properties and viscoelastic properties of emulsion gel were studied. Then, the best structures used as a fat substitute in cream (5, 10 and 15%). Results & Discussion: Investigation of emulsion gel properties showed that coating the surface of emulsion droplets with solid nanoparticles formed a rigid shell that acted as a barrier against the deformation and transfer of materials from the interfacial surface. The use of ISP-BSG nanoparticles as picking particles caused more homogeneity and stiffness in emulsion gel structure. The rate of water loss in reduced fat cream was in the range of 1-2% by using the emulsion-gel system, which indicates the effectiveness of these systems in reducing dehydration in cream. The increasing replacement percentages led to increase water loss (p <0.05). However, emulsion type had no significant effect on water loss content (p> 0.05). According to the results, ISP-BSG nanoparticles impart high potential to stabilize emulsion with small oil droplets. Based on the results of the sensory test, it was found that the characteristics of the cream samples depended more on the replacement rate than the type of system used as an alternative. The presence of a fat replacement system maintained the desired quality in low-fat cream samples. Most of the samples scored higher than 3, which indicate the high acceptance of low-fat samples.

Introduction: Application of emulsifiers is important in production of good quality cake. Monoglycoside and its derivatives, sterol lactilat, propylene glycol, Mono stearate, Mono stearate sorbitan, polysorbate, lecithin are used as Emulsifiersin in cake industry. Emulsifier that is used as a gel form in production of cakes , called cake gel. The use of gel cake in the cake batter increases distribution of air bubbles and resulting viscosity was increased and form a better texture and volume of the cake.Today, crystalline alpha gel of glycerol ester with alpha gel monoglycerides and propylene glycol stearate gel was used in the production of cakes. The stable Alpha gel wiche made from a mixture of monoglycerides and polyglycerol ester glycerol have impact effect on cake quality. The purpose of this study was to investigated the effect of Datem emulsifiers in three levels (5, 10 and 15%) poly glycerol in two levels (10 and 15%) and monoglycoside (60%) in gel emulsifier formulation to improve physicochemical, rheological and sensory properties of oil cake. The color index (L *, a * and b *), specific volume, texture and moisture of the cake were evaluated. The results showed that Datm emulsifier in (10%) with polyglycerol at 15% concentrations in gel emulsifier formulation had the best result on quality properties of cake.
Material and methods:The materials was used in the production gel Emulsifier includs, glycerol (co-Timer Network Malaysia), sorbitol (Omid company) and Propylene glycol (Kimiya garan Emroz Chemical Industry Co.) was prepared. Materials for production of cakes containing wheat flour ( Khorasan Co.) with moisture content (14%), protein (8.5%), ash (48%), PH (6.2%), eggs (Telavang Co.), vanilla from (AROMA Company), liquid vegetable oil (Laden Company) invert syrup (Simorgh Co) were prepared. baking powder (Mahsa) was purchased from local market. Sugar with fine white crystals bought in batches of 15 kg and was kept in the Store for consumption.Ingredients of gel Emulsifier formulation were mixed together Continuous agitation, the mixture then heated at temperature of 70 ° C In order to prepare the cake batter, the ingredients were weighed according to the formulation. The Moisture content of cup cake was measured 2 hr and 1 week after baking according to AACC- methods (AACC, 2000). Specific volume was determined an hour after baking based on rapeseed displacement method (AACC 2000). TPA test of cup cake was measured by A QTS texture analyser (CNS Farnell, Hertfordshire, UK) to measure the force required for penetration 2h and 1 week after baking. The color of cup cake determined by L*, a* and b* index, by using image j software after 2 hr, by (HP Scanjet , G 3010). Sensory evaluation was performed by 10 trained panellists and the overall quality of cake was evaluated using a ranking scale with scores ranging from 1 (least pleasure) to 5 (best pleasure).In this study, some sensory properties including odor, taste, texture and overall quality (total acceptance) of cup cake were evaluated. Results were reported as the average of three replications (all treatments were evaluated in three batches). In order to assess significant differences among samples, a complete randomized design of triplicate analyses of samples was performed using the Mstat-c. Duncan’s new multiple range tests were used to study the statistical differences of the means with 95% confidence.
Results and discussion:The results showed that gel emulsifier formulation with (10%) concentrations of Datm and (15%) concentration of polyglycerol are suitable in gel emulsifier formulation, This formula was increased the volume, L* index of crust and crumb of cake and sensory properties such as texture, Chewiness and reduced firmness of cake and moisture loss content over 1 week after the baking . Increasing the specific volume of cakes is due to the formation of alpha crystal films around the air bubbles, and trapping air bubbles in the dough. This phenomen was reduced surface tension of fat phase and improved spread ability of the fat phase in the cake batter, thus increasing the volume and softness of cake. Reduction of cake Firmness is due to interaction of emulsifiers with starch that is prevent retrogradation phenomenon. increasing of polyglycerol ester concentration in gel emulsifier formulation, improved the moisture maintain during baking and prevent from rough and wrinkled skins in the final product and therefore increases L* index .

Introduction: Tea (Camellia sinensis), is the most widely beverage after water across the world. The most important chemical composition in tea is phenolic compounds (catechins) that have antioxidant and anticarcinogenic properties and are benefited for cardiovascular disease. There are two major kinds of tea, black tea and green tea. Green Tea, is originated in China and dates back to several thousand years ago. In the production of green tea, young leaves are rolled and oxidized to decreasing oxidation but in production of black tea, tea leaves are oxidized (fermented) for 90-120 min after rolling and then catechins are converted to complexe compounds (theaflavins and thearubigins). The conventional method for extraction of green tea polyphenols compounds are heating, boiling, cold and heathing refluxe extraction, with long extraction periods and low extraction efficiency. In this study 3 techniques for extraction of polyphenol compounds from Green tea leaves were investigated and compored together.The main objective of this study was to determine the effects of differrent extraction conditions, temperature ( 40, 60, 80 and 100° C), different time ( 15, 30, 45 and 60 min ), microwave power (300, 600 and 900 % ) and ultrasound amplitude (40, 60, 80 and 100 W) on Green tea polyphenol content and antioxidant activity in three methods including Heat Reflux Extraction(HRE), Microwave Assisted Extraction(MAE) and Ultasound Assisted Extraction(UAE).Materials and Methods: Dried green tea leaves (supplied from Lahijan (Iran))were grinded for increasing the contact surface area between the solvent and solute. 1 g of green tea was extracted with 100 mL of water at various methods, Heathing Reflux Extraction(HRE), Microwave Assisted Extraction(MAE), by microsynth laboratory system (Milestone-ACT-36-Rev01) at 50 Hz and output 2450 MHz with adjustable power output (100-1000 W), temperature 180° C and Ultrasound Assisted Extraction (UAE) in double jacket vessel by using a 25 kHz ultrasonic system (model VCX 750, Sonics & Materials, Inc., USA), at a maximum nominal power output of 750W. All measurements were carried out in triplicate. The results were analysed statistically using the minitab 16 Program to determine the average value and standard error. Variance analysis, with a significant level of α= 0.05% was performed to determine the effect of time, temperature, microwave power and ultrasound amplitude on polyphenols content and antioxidant activity. Total phenol were determined spectrophotometerically by Folin-Ciocalteu method at 765 nm )Hewlett- Packard spectrophotometer model 8452A, Rockville). The antioxidant activity evaluated with the DPPH test spectrophotometrically at 517 nm. Results and Discussion: These results showed that polyphenol content is increased with increasing the time, temperature, ultrasound amplitude and microwave power of extraction. By increasing temperature to 80°C , time to 45 min, ultrasound amplitude from 40 to 80 and microwave power from 300 to 600, polyphenol content and antioxidant activity was increased and after that was constant. These results showed that, H.R.E require long extraction time and have low efficiency. Polyphenol compounds are thermally unstable and maybe degredate in thermal processing. Also, the best method for extraction was MAE, because of higher yield, higher contents of pol-yphenol and shortend time and this method was very efficient in the extraction of polyphenl compounds. The efficiency of extraction by UAE method is higher than HRE and lower than MAE method. Conclusion: UAE method compared to HRE method is enhanced the extraction of polyphenol, facilating solvent peneteration and increase the product releasing from intracellular. This method agitated the solvent to material and increased the contact surface between material and solven, and peneteration of solvent in to the green tea leaves. UAE canbe carried out at a lower temperature than HRE and decreased thermal damage.
