In fact, the MoreSpecial features of nanoparticles such as high surface to volume ratio, homogeneous particle size, high stability and ease of production have led to their widespread use in various fields of pharmacy, dentistry, medicine, biology and materials engineering. In fact, the existence of many pathogenic bacteria that have created many risks in various industries, including medical equipment, dentistry, drinking water treatment and sewage treatment, is another reason for using nanoparticles to protect human health. Meanwhile, the green synthesis of nanoparticles by different strains of cyanobacteria has led to the production of environmentally friendly nanoparticles with various unique biological, physical and chemical properties. Cyanobacteria also have a variety of bioactive compounds such as pigments and enzymes that can act as regenerating and stabilizing agents in the process of producing nanoparticles. In addition, with their unique biochemical compositions that include several bioactive compounds with proven pharmacological activities, they also have potential antibacterial, antifungal, anti-algal, anti-cancer and photocatalytic properties. These properties have caused cyanobacteria to be used not only as useful natural resources, but also to be effective in the prevention and treatment of many diseases. Although many researches have been conducted in the field of biological synthesis using various microorganisms, fewer studies have focused on the use of cyanobacteria in the synthesis of nanoparticles. This article comprehensively examines the characteristics and commercial applications of nanoparticles synthesized by cyanobacteria in different fields, as well as the strategies of toxicity of nanoparticles against living cells.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of aqueous extract on properties of ground beef stored at refrigerator temperature.Materials and Methods: In this study, aqueous extract (0.5, 2, and 3%) of Commiphora myrrha (Myrrh) was used as a Bio Preservative to extend the shelf life of the ground beef during 14 days of storage at 4 °C. In this study, chemical properties (peroxide value, Thiobarbituric acid value, and total volatile basic nitrogen), microbial properties (total count of microorganisms, Staphylococcus aureus, and psychrophilic and mesophilic bacteria), and sensory properties of ground beef samples were evaluated.Results: Examination of pH changes showed that by increasing the storage time up to 7 days, the pH of all samples decreased (p<0.05), and then from 7 to 14 days, the pH of the samples increased significantly (p<0.05). Changes in oxidative indices, i.e. peroxide index and Thiobarbituric acid index, showed that increasing the storage time led to an increase in these indices, but the use of Myrrh extract prevented significant changes in oxidative indices (p<0.05). Measurement of the TVB-N index showed that by increasing storage time, this index increases, by increasing the level of bio preservatives significantly (p<0.05) led to a decrease in TVB-N changes. Examination of the antimicrobial activity of Myrrh extract in ground beef showed an increase in the total count, S. aureus, and psychrophilic and mesophilic bacteria in the tested samples. However, by increasing the concentration of Myrrh extract (p<0.05) significantly reduced the microbial population and minimized their changes. The sensory evaluation of ground beef samples showed that the treated sample with 3% Myrrh extract had the highest score and also the highest acceptability as compared to other samples.Conclusion: It might be concluded that the application of 3% Myrrh extract as a bio preservative to extend the shelf life of perishable products is a promising way to reduce the use of chemical preservatives in these products.

Pasteurization treatment caused a significant decrease of 31.7% in vitamin C content, 22.9% of phenolic content, 19.4% in the antioxidant content, 6.2% in anthocyanin content of the sour cherry juice. At maximum thermal ultrasound intensity and time of 12 minutes, 20.8% of vitamin C content was decreased. With increasing temperature, intensity and time of ultrasound, phenol content decreased. High intensities of ultrasound caused a significant decrease in anthocyanin content, in a way that in the intensity of 61 µm, 4 min and 60 °C, the anthocyanin content was reduced by 6.6%, respectively. In general, the results of this study indicate that increasing the intensity of ultrasound, temperature and treatment time reduced the positive effect of these treatments on qualitative properties and even reduced the bioactive compounds, that with regard to the combined results, 42.7 µm (75%) amplitude at 60 °C can be the most effective treatment in maintaining the qualitative characteristics of sour cherry juice compared to the pasteurization method Manuscript profile -

Today, extensive research has been done in relation to the use of natural antimicrobial compounds to deal with pathogens of food origin, and it has been determined that these compounds are a suitable alternative to chemical antimicrobial compounds. Plant essential oils have good antimicrobial properties due to the presence of polyphenolic compounds. Meat is the main source of protein of animal origin, which is considered one of the most perishable foods due to its abundant nutrients. Nowadays, the use of food coatings containing natural antimicrobial and antioxidant agents, including plant essential oils, is one of the new methods of preservation, which has a good potential to prevent pathogenic microorganisms and also increase the shelf life. They have the shelf life of meat products and are able to increase the shelf life and preserve the natural appearance of meat and meat products. It is interesting to note that active films containing essential oils provide an environmentally friendly solution in the meat industry. In general, active food packaging has shown a suitable technology for improving meat quality and reducing waste in the food industry. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the antimicrobial effects of different plant essential oils and their synergistic effects in meat preservation. Manuscript profile
