    Full text link
    Mimetic gravity analysis has been studied as a theory in various types of general relativity extensions, such as mimetic f(R) gravity, mimetic f(R, T) gravity, mimetic f(R, G) gravity, etc., in the literature. This paper presents a set of equations arising from mimetic conditions and studies cosmic inflation with a combination of mimetic f(G) gravity and swampland dS conjectures. We analyze and evaluate these results. Therefore, we first thoroughly introduce the mimetic f(G) gravity and calculate some cosmological parameters such as the scalar spectral index, the tensor-to-scalar ratio, and the slow-roll parameters. Also, we investigate the potential according to the mimetic f(G) gravity. Then we will challenge the swampland dS conjectures with this condition. By expressing the coefficient of swampland dS conjectures viz C1C_{1} and C2C_2 in terms of nsn_{s} and rr, we plot some figures and determine the allowable range for each of these cosmological parameters and these coefficients, and finally, compare these results with observable data such as Planck and BICEP2/Keck array data. We show C1C_{1} and C2C_2 are not O(1)\mathcal{O}(1), so the refining swampland dS conjecture is not satisfied for this inflationary model. Then we examine it with further refining swampland dS conjecture, which has a series of free parameters such as a,b>0a,b>0, q>2q>2, and a+b=1a+b=1. By adjusting these parameters, the compatibility of the mentioned conjecture with the inflationary model can be discussed. We determine the further refining swampland dS conjecture is satisfied. when a<11.00489=0.99513a < \frac{1}{1.00489}=0.99513, we can always find aa, bb and qq whose value is larger than 2, viz for q=2.4q=2.4, we find 0.99185≤a<10.99185\leq a < 1, which we can choose a=0.99235a=0.99235 according to the condition a<0.99513a < 0.99513. Also we know b=1−ab=1-a, so we will have 1−0.99235=0.00765>01-0.99235=0.00765 > 0.Comment: 25 pages, 5 figures.

    In this study, Burgeres with different ratios of chicken to Kilka fish (Clupeonella sp.) meat were produced: F1 (100:0), F2 (75:25), F3 (50:50), F4 (25:75) and F5 (0:100). Analyses of the physicochemical properties and chemical compositons of the samples were carried out. The proximate contents of raw samples were significantly different (p<0.05) among all samples with different formulations. In order, from samples F1 to F5, protein (20.58 to 15.58%) and carbohydrate (3.16 to 2.03%) contents exhibited a decreasing trend, while, fat contents (2.58 to 7.53%) and energy value (118/20 to 139.45 Kcal) showed increasing trends as the fraction of kilka fish meat was increased in the formulation but there was no relationship between fish and chicken meat ratio with moisture and ash contents. According to the sensory evaluation results, there was a decreasing trend in scores of color, flavor, texture, aroma, and overall acceptability attributes from F1 to F5 as the fraction of kilka meat was increased to formulation, while, kilka fish burger (F5) gained high score respect to mounth feeling attribute but there were no significant deferences (p<0.05) with respect to texture and overall acceptability between samples. The results also showed that raw and cooked burgers having higher ratios of fish meat had a darker color, with the lithness ( L*), redness (a*),yellowness ( b*) and chroma (C) values decreasing from sample F1 to F5. but hue-angle (h*) value was different. After cooking process (pan frying), the a* value was decreased and L*, b*, C* and h* values were increased. Cooking properties analysis results showed that burgers with higher ratios of chiken meat had more shrinkage (8.52% for F5 and 12.59% for F1), fat retention(161.53- 243.41%)and water retention(67.67- 70.57%) values than burgers with higher ratios of fish meat but, there was no any relationship between kind of meat and cooking yield values. Texture analysis of samples showed that burgers became harder when more chiken meat was incorporated in the formulation. These results demonstrate that burgers with kilka fish and chiken meat formulation have better attributes than kilka fish burgers and preferable formulation is F2 (75% chiken meat & 25% kilka fish meat)

    The present project was aimed at determining the content, quality, and purity of β-carotene extracted from Azolla filiculoides in the Anzali Wetland, comparing it with synthetic β-carotene, and measuring its economic value. One treatment had β-carotene derived from Azolla filiculoides in the Anzali Wetland through the alkaline hydrolysis method in the summer of 2014. Treatments were kept at 4°C for one year. Synthetic β-carotene was used as the control. The quality of the treatments was assessed by applying some chemical tests, including the measurement of the content and quality of β-carotene, colorimetry using the Hunter-LAB method, determination of the purity and vitamin A employing high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), estimation of the dwell-time duration at 5°C, and measurement of the solubility of β-carotene in water. Beta carotene of Azolla in the spring extracted to alkaline hydrolysis was11853 mg/kg, in summer was 9935mg/kg, in autumn was 11256 mg/kg and in winter was 11245 mg /kg. Beta carotene of Azolla in the spring extracted to organic solvent was 8347 mg/kg, in summer was 6648 mg/kg, in autumn was 7543 mg/kg and in winter was 7539 mg/kg. The amount of beta-carotene is extracted using organic solvents and alkaline hydrolysis in the summer compared to other seasons showed a significant reduction (P0.05). The extracted amounts of beta-carotene in organic solvents compared to alkaline hydrolysis method in seasons spring, summer, autumn and winter was difference significant (P0.05). According to the harvesting Azolla of wetland is not requires special equipment and in terms of time a lot of Azolla can be harvested in a short time and also for the extraction of beta-carotene from Azolla Anzali Lagoon is not requires special equipment, too, have no economic value of raw material, does not require special conditions for growing, doubling in three days, Azolla is rich in beta-carotene, beta-carotene extraction of large quantities of small amounts of starting material, the cost of chemical materials, labor, fuel, Laboratory equipment required and the cost of importing small packages beta-carotene, beta-carotene into the country in terms of economic cost compared to the cost of imported Sigma beta carotene is economical. As shown in Table 5 in the samples prepared by alkaline hydrolysis in comparison with synthetic chemical manufactured by Sigma in terms of colorimetric tests, purity, composition and solubility of vitamins significant difference was not observed (P>0.05). But, in samples prepared by organic solvents in comparison with synthetic chemical manufactured by Sigma in terms of colorimetric tests, purity, composition and solubility of vitamins significant difference was observed (P<0.05). According to significant differences between the amount of betacarotene extracted from Azoula wetland compared to other seasons in spring and autumn and winter plant growth in spring Azoula alkaline hydrolysis method for the extraction of beta-carotene wetland and wetland Azolla is recommended

    By-products consist of more than half of the total weight of fish. Most part of these wastes made from connective tissue proteins that provide good potential to produce gelatin. Nowadays, consumers are more health conscious and have responded to the call for a diet that contains low calorie and low fat. This work involved the characterization of a low-fat spread made of fish gelatin as gelling agent, emulsifier and fat replacer. Six treatments with Fish gelatin (FG) to pectin ratio 1:1 and 2:1, with pectin concentration of 1, 2 and 3%, were produced and evaluated for quality changes and storage-life at refrigerated storage. The results showed that prepared emulsions were physically stable and no phase separation observed during 8 wks. The pH of treatments was 4.5 to 4.9. The moisture content of treatments varied from 68.9% for T1 (FG/pectin ratio 1:1) to 65.4% for T6 (FG/pectin ratio 6:3). The Max. lipid of samples was measured 28.4%. Max. and min. protein of samples were 3.8% for T6 and 1.6% for T2 (FG/pectin ratio 2:1), respectively. No significant differences (p≥0.05) were observed between ash content of all treatments and control (commercial margarin). The acidity of treatments increased during storage and were significantly different from production day (p≤0.05). Peroxide value (PV) of treatments increased significantly at refrigerated storage. No significant differences were observed between PV of treatments during different wks of sampling. The results of texture profile analysis showed that firmness, compressibility and adhesiveness properties were significantly increase with higher substitution of FG with pectin. Color, Aroma, Taste and texture properties of prepared samples were found to significantly lower than control, according to sensory evaluation. Significant increases were observed in mold/yeast and psychrophilic count of treatments during storage. The macroscopic growth of molds was observed on all samples in 8th wks. No coliform growth was observed in all treatments at any time. Results suggest that low-fat spread properties were significantly influenced by different ratios of fish gelatin and pectin incorporated. It seems that these results can provide new opportunities to develop market with introducing novel products to response consumer demands. Some quality defects observed in this study can be improved by using suitable machinery at industrial scale
