        Introduction: Antocyanins provide a pleasant and attractive appearance in fruits and vegetables particularly fruit juices. Therefore it is necessary to study the effect of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a widespread material in packaging sterilant in aseptic processing systems on anthocyanins from various juices. Materials and Methods: In this study, the simultaneous effect of hydrogen peroxide in five different concentrations and three different temperatures (10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 mmol/L) and (10, 20 and 30 ̊C) on degradation of anthocyanins in Berberis vulgaris, Berberis cratagina and Beberis integerrima juices have been investigated. Results: The degradation of anthocyanins in all treatments were fitted both zero and first order kinetics models. The results showed the degradation of anthocyanins in these three Berberis juices followed the first-order reaction kinetics. In most cases, the reaction rate constant (k) and half-life (t1/2) differed significantly among the three Berberis in various concentrations and temperatures (p<0.05). The difference between Berberis vulgaris juice and Berberis cratagina juice was lower. The reaction rate constant (k) increased and half-life (t1/2) decreased with increasing concentration of hydrogen peroxide in all juices. The temperature dependence of anthocyanins degradation was determined by calculating the activation energy (Ea) and temperature quotient (Q10). At the concentration of 10-20 mmol/L, Berberis vulgaris juice showed the lowest temperature dependence, whereas at higher concentrations (25 and 30 mmol/L) Beberis integerrima juice had the lowest temperature dependence. Conclusion: Anthocyanins from berberis species juices were found to be very susceptible to H2O2. Therefore, aseptic systems should be frequently controlled to ensure the effective removal of residual H2O2 from the food contact surfaces. Since the rate of anthocyanin degradation by H2O2 is highly dependent on temperature, cold storage of these juices is strongly recommended. Manuscript profile

        An appropriate disinfectant in water and wastewater applications must have acceptable effect on different kind of micro-organisms especially in minor concentrations which should contain ignorable toxicity on human and animals and its environmental side effects must be very low. Studies related to finding non-chlorinated disinfectants which have same effects of chlorine and not contain its adverse by-products are continued in recent years. Hydrogen peroxide solution with stabilized formulation and oligo-dynamic amounts of silver ion (trade mark: Nanosil) recently become a popular disinfectant for fruits، vegetables، surfaces، medical instruments and disinfections.  This study was based on determining removal efficiency of fecal coliforms from samples taken from Qom wastewater treatment plant effluents after exposing with hydrogen peroxide-silver ion complex. Disinfectant efficiency was studied in six concentrations. Contact time for all concentrations was one hour. Sample size was 12 and sampling was daily.  Results reveal that in concentration; 80mg/l، disinfectant achieves 2.1 logarithmic removals of fecal coliforms. In concentration; 480mg/l، fecal coliforms logarithmic removal was 5.3. In CT value 5800(mg/l). Min and more، the fecal coliforms effluent standard for surface water discharge and agriculture irrigation was achieved (Iranian environmental protection agency act). Use of hydrogen peroxide-silver ion complex as a water and wastewater disinfectant، has various benefits such as; don't remain hazardous by products، measurable residual amount an but because of its oxidation nature when contact the organic materials in wastewater and microbial harboring in suspended solids content of effluent، its application in wastewater effluent is more costly than other usual disinfectants.

        Industrial and municipal wastewaters are the main sources which contaminate  the surface water and groundwater. Application of detergent in industrial and domestic uses increases this substance in wastewater. Detergents are large organic molecules that are slightly soluble in water, highly toxic, responsible for foaming in wastewater treatment plants and making interference with wastewater treatment operations. A numorous methods yet have been applied for the removal of detergent. These methods include coagulation and flocculation, reverse osmosis, oxidation by ozone and advanced oxidation processes. This study investigates the removal of cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide from synthetic solution by Fenton reagent as an easy and effective method. Experiments were conducted in several stages with 100 cc of synthetic sample and pH=4, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mg/L of ferrous ions, 20, 30, 40 and 50 ml/L of hydrogen perocide in a batch reactor with contact time of 20, 40 and 60 min. Results showe that, in a batch system with acidic pH (pH=4), the removal of detergent increases with the increases of contact time, ferrous ions concentration and hydrogen peroxide. Therefore, in pH= 4, contact times of 60 min, and 20 mg/L of ferrous ions, Lthe  removal efficiency increased from 54/5% to 89/5% by increase of hydrogen peroxide conventration from 20 ml/L to 50 ml/L. Finally, considering the simplicity and effectiveness of this method, it is be suggested to be used for the removal of detergent from municipal and industrial wastewaters. Manuscript profile

        In this contribution, an analytical method was developed utilizing silver nanozymes as inexpensive and high throughput nanomaterials with high peroxidase-like activity for the selective quantification of hydrogen peroxide in food samples. 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) was utilized as peroxidase substrate to produce the blue-colored analytical probe. The method was constructed based on the spectrophotometric probing the oxidation product of TMB by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of silver nanozyme as catalyst and the absorbance of the blue-colored oxidation product at 658 nm was used as analytical signal. The effective parameters on the method sensitivity including nanozyme amount, incubation time, buffer type and concentration, pH, and substrate concentration were optimized. In optimal experimental conditions, a linear dynamic range of 1-80 μM and detection limit as low as 0.12 μM were obtained. Besides, the selectivity studies revealed that the absorbance at 658 nm was increased in the presence of hydrogen peroxide while other co-existing species cannot proceed the oxidation process. Finally, the designed method was applied to quantify hydrogen peroxide of milk samples, revealing highly accurate results. The results of this research can be potentially utilized for food safety verification in food industries. Manuscript profile

        To evaluate the effects of seed priming of hempseed with folic acid and hydrogen peroxide on some morphological and physiological traits a factorial greenhouse experiment based on randomized complete design with four replications was conducted at Islamic Azad University, Mahabad Branch. Treatments consisted of hydrogen peroxide at five levels (0, 7.5, 15, 22.5, 30 mm/liter) as the first factor and the four leveld of folic acid (5, 10, 20, 27 mm/liter) as the second factor.Seeds, to be primed, were immersed into solution of folic acid for 24 hours and hydrogen peroxide for 6 hours. The characteristics like chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll content, relative water content, plant height, root length, allometric coefficient, plant fresh and dry weights, were measured. Result of analysis of variance showed that the effects of folic acid and hydrogen peroxide on all characters were significant, but the interaction between the two treatments were only significant on relative water content and allometric coefficient. In this study, seed priming with 15 mm/liter of hydrogen peroxide and 5mm folic acid resulted in highest chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll contents, plant height, root length, fresh and dry weights. Increasing hydrogen peroxide level above 15mm/liter affected traits negatively. Combinated treatments of 15 mm/liter of hydrogen peroxide and 5 and 10 mm of folic acid resulted in highest relative water content and allometric coefficient, respectively. Based on the results obtained it can be concluded that priming seeds with 15 mm/liter of hydrogen peroxide and 5mm folic acid is recommended to produce proper morphological and physiological traits.

        Some physiological parameters and antioxidant responses were investigated in different color leaves of the evergreen shrub Japanese spindle (Euonymus japonica Thunb.). The shrub has leaves with three colors including dark green, light green, and yellow. Oxidative stress markers (hydrogen peroxide concentration, cell membrane stability, and lipids peroxidation), activity of peroxidase and some antioxidant molecules (phenolic compounds, proline, and free amino acids) were studied. Significant differences were found in hydrogen peroxide content, cell membrane stability, and membrane lipids peroxidation among leaves. In yellow leaves, the total content of proline and free amino acids were higher than those of the dark green and light green leaves. The highest and lowest free phenolic compounds contents were found in the dark green and yellow leaves, respectively. The POD activity increased significantly with changing leaf color from dark green to light green and to yellow. As a result, despite the activity of the antioxidant systems, the color change from dark green to yellow caused a gradual increase in the oxidative damage. Manuscript profile

        In order to investigate the effect of growth-promoting bacteria on physiologic traitsof new dryland wheat cultivars, a factorial field experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with three replications on the farms of Sarablah Agricultural Research Center in the cropping season during 2019-2020. Experimental treatments included different wheat cultivars (Sardari, Karim, Koohdasht, and Rijaw) and different fertilizer sources including control (without fertilizer source), 50% N fertilizer, Azospirillum+50% N fertilizer, Azetobacter + 50% N fertilizer, Azospirillum + Azetobacter+50% N fertilizer, and 100% N fertilizer. The results of this experiment showed that the interaction effect of cultivar × fertilizer sources had a significant effect on the activity of some antioxidant enzymes and physiological properties. Rijaw cultivar × Azospirillum + Azetobacter+ 50% N fertilizer increased the activities of ascorbate peroxidase (80.9%), glutathione peroxidase (80%), catalase (71.7%), peroxidase (74.1%), superoxide dismutase (74%), carotenoids (72.1%), chlorophyll a (86.1%), chlorophyll b (88.2%), and relative water content (45.4%) while reduced the amount of Malondialdehyde (65.9%) and hydrogen peroxide (91.8%). Moreover, Sardari cultivar × control treatment (without fertilizer sources) had the lowest activities of ascorbate peroxidase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and photosynthetic pigments. Therefore, according to the results of the study, wheat cultivar Rijaw × Azospirillum + Azetobacter+ 50% N fertilizer may be recommended for cultivation in dryland conditions considering the improved physiological characteristics and ultimately increased plant growth.

        In order to investigate the effect of cycocel and micronutrient consumption on yield, physiological traits, and antioxidant content of maize under low irrigation conditions at the end of the season, a split factorial experiment was carried out based on a randomized complete block design with four replications in Safiabad Agriculture Research Center in Dezful during two cropping years 2017-18 and 2018-19. The main treatment included water stress with three levels control (without water stress), water stress in female flower formation stage and water stress in grain swelling stage. Also, foliar application of cycocel at three levels of control (no use of cycocel), 442.5 ppm, and 885 ppm and three levels of micronutrient fertilizers, namely control (no fertilizer application), foliar application of 1000 g. ha-1, and foliar application of 1500 g. ha-1 were considered as the sub-factors. Results of the combined ANOVA showed that the interaction of the effects of year, stress, micronutrient, and cycocel on relative water content, proline and grain yield and also the interaction of the effects of stress, micronutrient, and cycocel on hydrogen peroxide, glutathione peroxidase, and soluble proteins were statistically significant (p≤0.01). The results also showed that the highest activity of superoxide dismutase enzyme was obtained under stress conditions at the grain swelling stage, which showed an increase by about 37% compared to the irrigation treatment under optimal conditions. Foliar application of 1500 g. ha-1 micronutrient and 885 ppm cycocel in non-stress conditions increased the average grain yield (11500 kg. ha-1) in the second year by about 85% compared to stressed condition at grain swelling stage and no application of micronutrient and cycocel. In general, to increase grain yield under optimal irrigation conditions and reduce the drop in stress conditions, growth regulators such as cycocel with a concentration of 885 ppm and micronutrient foliar application at 1500 g. ha-1 are recommended.

        Introduction: Hydrogen peroxide is commonly used as disinfectant for sterilization of food contact materials. In dairy industry, contamination of milk with H2O2 residue is likely due to its leakage from the disinfected surfaces resulting in development of oxidative spoilage of milk. Since no report has been documented on the prevalence of such contamination in food stuff in Iran, this study aimed to measure the prevalence of H2O2 in sterilized milk samples, collected from Isfahan market in 2013. Methods: A total of 20 tetra-pack sterilized milk samples from 7 different brand were randomly collected from the market. All the samples were 250ml in volume. In order to measure the H2O2 concentration a colometric method was adapted based on catalase reaction and measurement of light absorption at 400nm. Results: H2O2 residue was detected in all tested samples ranging from 0.14-1.62 ppm. Fifteen samples (75%) contained H2O2 levels greater than its regulated level by international organization (0.5 ppm). Accordingly, the results of one-sample t-test showed that the average amount of detected H2O2 concentration in the tested sample is higher than the standard value. Conclusion: Regarding the H2O2 contamination of the tested milk samples revealed in this study and due to lack of any regulation limit for H2O2 in sterilized milk in Iran, presentation and documentation of standards introducing reliable method for detection and monitoring of H2O2 in the sterilized milk along with its limits is highly recommended.

        Background & Aim:The plant Momordica charantia is highly valuable having a wide range of medicinal uses with tropical and subtropical regions distribution. This study was conducted to appraise the medicative properties of methanol leaf extract of Momordica charantia (MEMC) on alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Experimental: The antidiabetic influence of methanol leaf extract of Momordica charantia (MEMC) was investigated in alloxan-induced diabetes in rats. 50 rats allocated into five groups (A-E) (n =10) were utilized in this study: group A was normal control, groups B to E were induced with alloxan with diabetes established, while group B was not treated, group C received glibenclamide treatment while groups D and E were administered extracts at 200 and 400 mg/kg doses, respectively, in a study that continued for 28 days. Changes in blood glucose levels, body weight, haematology, serum chemistry, antioxidant system and histopathology changes were evaluated. Results: MEMC elicited significant drop in blood glucose level from diabetic to near normal level, restoring the body weight, haematological and serum biochemical parameters to the basal non diabetic level; likewise the MEMC-treated group elicited a decreased level of oxidant markers such as malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) but increased concentration of protein thiols (PT), non-protein thiols (NPT), glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) indicating its anti-oxidant potential. The pancreas section also revealed repair of distorted pancreatic architecture in MEMC-treated group compared to diabetic group. Recommended applications/industries: The plant exhibited anti-hyperglycaemic, anti-diabetic and anti-oxidant abilities hence could be explored for the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

        This research was performed as a factorial in a completely randomized design in a pot with four replications. The studied treatments include salinity of irrigation water as irrigation with ordinary water (0.4) (control) and with salinity of 4 and 8 dS/m and seed priming including no priming and seed priming in 25 and 50 mM of hydrogen peroxide solutions. In this experiment, the number of spikes per pot, number of spikelets per spike, number of seeds per spikelet, 1000-grain weight, root dry weight, grain yield and grain protein were investigated. In this study, the effect of salinity of irrigation and hydrogen peroxide on all studied traits were significant. The interaction effect of salinity of irrigation and hydrogen peroxide on the studied traits except grain number per spikelet and grain protein were significant. The maximum root dry matter (0.95 g/pot) and grain yield (7.49 g/pot) were observed under irrigation with normal water and application of 50 mM hydrogen peroxide and the minimum root dry matter (0.82 g/pot) and grain yield (3.17 g/pot) was obtained at salinity of 8 dS/m and non-application of hydrogen peroxide. The maximum grain protein (14.25%) was obtained in the application of 50 mM hydrogen peroxide and the minimum protein percentage (11.05%) was obtained under irrigation with normal water. In general, the application of hydrogen peroxide can be effective in increasing the quantitative and qualitative yield of wheat and reducing the effect of salinity of irrigation water and it can be considered and recommended by researchers and farmers.

        In the present study, the first early physiological responses of the green micro algae Haematococcus pluvialis during infection by chytrid Paraphysoderma sedebokerensis was studied. To this end, the palmeloid form of Haematococcus pluvialis was cultivated for two days in three media including the medium infected with chytrid (chyt) and the culture of chytrid infected (IBS) and uncontaminated (HBS) cells. Then, the activity of antioxidant enzymes, extracellular peroxide, and free intracellular enzymes were determined by UV/Vis spectrophotometry and HPLC techniques. The activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase in the chytrid infected cells after 24, 24, and 48 h was 2.3, 6.7, and 2.6 times higher those of control. These values for the cells cultivated with the infected media after 12, 12, and 36 h was found to be 2.1, 2.5, and 2.6 times higher than control. The extracellular peroxide content in the algae cultivated with the contaminated media was nearly constant and about 4 fold of the other specimens; while those of chytrid infected cells was slightly increased from 1.3 to 1.8 μM during 48 h cultivation. Amino acids histidine, alanine, asparagine, aspatic acid, arginine, and methionine were of the highest and the phenylalanine and tryptophan were of the lowest content. These results can be attributed to the cells defense response to chytrid infection thorough enhancement of peroxide content and activation of antioxidative pathways. Manuscript profile

        In this research, desulfurization of diesel from Tehran Refinery was investigated by oxidation method. To investigate this process, the performance of different advanced oxidation systems (acetic acid/hydrogen peroxide, formic acid/hydrogen peroxide) along with acetonitrile extraction were investigated for desulfurization of diesel fuel with 13370 ppm primary sulfur in a discontinuous reactor. The effect of different operating factors such as molar ratio of acid to sulfur (nacid/ns) (15, 20, and 25), molar ratio of hydrogen peroxide (oxidant) to sulfur (no/ns) (5, 10, and 15), temperature and also reaction time were investigated. Many tests showed that in the optimal conditions for removing sulfur from gas oil with the acetic acid/hydrogen peroxide system, the amount of sulfur reached to 9130 ppm with an efficiency of 31%, and with the formic acid/hydrogen peroxide system, the amount of sulfur reached to 2500 ppm with an efficiency of 81%. Also, the examination of the experiments confirmed this point that it is not possible to completely remove the sulfur from heavy oil fractions such as diesel with normal oxidative desulfurization methods.

        This study aimed to determine the most appropriate dose of hydrogen peroxide based on silver colloid for the decapsulation of Urmia Lake Artemia cysts (Artemia urmiana), to achieve the best hatching rate.  The cysts were exposed to doses of 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2 and 5% of hydrogen peroxide based on colloidal silver for 30 seconds, 45 seconds, 1, 2 and 5 minutes and 5 ml bleach and pure water (as control) were used to compare the process of decapsulation with the test solutions. After decapsulation, 1 gram of cysts per liter were hatchedat 30 ° C for 48 hours under conditions of 35 ppt salinity. After 48 hours of incubation, 99% hatching rate at a dose of 0.5 % solution of hydrogen based on colloid silver, 97% in bleach solution and 94 % in the control cysts was observed. According to the results of the statistical analysis, ANOVA, significant difference was found between the results of test treatments. The results of this study suggest that, best performance of hatching rate in Artemia urmiana cysts can be achieved, by putting the cysts in a solution with a dose of 0.5% of hydrogen peroxide based on silver colloid.  Manuscript profile

        Cold is one of the most important abiotic stresses that limits crop growth and yield worldwide. In order to investigate how 20-day-old barley seedlings adapt to short-term cold stress, the present study was carried out in a factorial experiment with four replications in the seed laboratory of Karaj Seedling and Seed Breeding Research Institute. The experimental factors included barley cultivars (cold-sensitive Karon, semi-cold-tolerant Fasih, and cold-tolerant Makoi) and cold stress with three levels of 4, 8, and 22 oC (control). Temperature treatments were applied to barley seedlings for 48 hours. The results of analysis of variance showed that the interaction of cold and cultivar was significant on most of the measured traits in this study. The mean comparison also showed that the highest value of F0 was observed in Karun and Fasih cultivars at 8 oC and in Makoi cultivar at 4 oC, while in all three cultivars, Fv value and chlorophyll a content decreased with decreasing temperature. The ratio of Fm/Fv in Makoui and Fasih cultivars decreased with decreasing temperature, however no significant change was observed in Karon cultivar. In addition, with decreasing temperature, malondialdehyd (MDA) and H2O2 concentration and peroxidase (POX) activity increased in all three cultivars, especially Karon cultivar, but catalase (CAT) and super oxid dismutase (SOD) activity were not affected by the cultivar, and the highest CAT and SOD activity were obtained at 8 and 4 oC, respectively. The obtained results showed that the cultivars more tolerant than the sensitive cultivar (Karon) at low temperatures by limiting the production of compounds such as H2O2 and MDA, had higher chlorophyll content and photosynthetic efficiency, which probably reflects greater adaptation to cold.
