Introduction Sumac, due to its phenolic compounds, strong anti-oxidant strength and anti-coagulation, can be considered as one of the most popular additives in the food industry. The aim of this study was to investigate the synergistic effect of sumac and phosphatidylethanolamine on the chemical properties of mayonnaise.
Materials and Methods: In this research Sumac extract with 0.5,1 and 1.5 % and phosphatidyl ethanol amine with 0.01, 0.04 and 0.08 were used as native preservative. After extraction of sumac and evaluation of sumac extraction yield, total phenol and free radical inhibition test (DPPH) and Sensory evaluation were performed. Mayonnaise sauce analysis including peroxide index, Totox index, and acidity index were determined in production day, 1st, 2nd and 3rd month. The analysis was done by using completely randomized blocks design in 0.05 level and data were analyzed by two way Analysis variance (ANOVA) and SPSS software.
Results and Discussion: The results showed that with increasing the use of sumac extract and phosphatidylethanolamine extract, the peroxide and Tutox indices decreased significantly compared to the control (p≥0.05) Also, increasing the level of sumac extract in mayonnaise formulation, significantly increased the acidity index of mayonnaise treatments (p≥0.05). In treatments with higher levels of phosphatidylethanolamine, the increase in acidity of mayonnaise treatments was associated with less intensity during storage (p≥0.05). In the study of sensory properties, it was observed that with increasing the level of sumac extract, the amount of sensory content of the treatments was less on the day of production. Increasing the use of sumac extract the texture and color scores of mayonnaise treatments were significantly decreased (p≥0.05). In general, storage time showed a significant increase in the increasing of all mayonnaise indices (p≥0.05). Finally, the treatment of 1% sumac extract and 0.08% phosphatidyl ethanolamine was selected as the optimal combination. According to the obtained results, mayonnaise containing sumac extract can be introduced to the market as a natural and new functional product, because sumac plant has phenolic compounds, strong antioxidant power and antimicrobial properties. It can be used as one of the additives in the food industry

Introduction: Pomegranate peel is an important source of bioactive compounds which have high potential of alternative source of activated carbon for bleaching and the removal of heavy metal from liquid media. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of pomegranate peel carbon for the removal of heavy metal from oil and aqueous solution and then to investigate its activity in the bleaching of sesame oil.
Materials and methods: Response surface methodology and Box-Behnken design were applied to study and optimize the adsorption condition to remove metal ions on prepared pomegranate peel adsorbent. For this purpose, the effects of three independent variable pH(X1), contact time (X2) and adsorbent dose (X3) on metal ions concentration (dependent variable) were studied using a three-level three-factor Box–Behnken design. In addition, different types of adsorbents (pomegranate peel carbon and activated earth) were tested for adsorption of pigment, peroxides and heavy metals of sesame oil.
Results and discussion: Results showed that optimum condition required for maximum adsorption were found to pH= 5.3, equilibrium time 200 min and adsorbent concentration 2.5 g/L. Under the optimal conditions the removal of heavy metals i.e. Fe, Cr, Pb, as and Hg from aqueous solution by activated carbon developed from pomegranate peel are more than 80%. Results of sesame oil bleaching with pomegranate peel carbon showed good bleaching efficiency and oxidative stability. Furthermore, pomegranate peel carbon comparing with bleaching earth showed better ability to decrease heavy metal content of oil.

Antioxidant active packaging is one of the active packaging that prevents of lipid oxidation by releasing antioxidant during storage of food. In recent years the use of natural antioxidant instead of the synthetic variety in these packaging has been considered. The aim of this study was evaluating the performance of polymeric film coated with natural antioxidant (Rosemary Extract) to prevent lipid oxidation in butter. With three different concentrations (0.1%, 0.15%, 0.2%), the ethanolic extract of Rosemary was sprayed on the surface of low density polyethylene films (LDPE). Films without extract was used as control. Phenolic compounds migration from the surface of film to 95% ethanol (fatty food stimulant) was measured at 4ºc during 10 hours. With increasing time and extract concentration, migration to ethanol increased (P
