Effect of ficin-hydrolyzed wheat gluten on bread quality and in vitro antioxidant activity before and after simulated gastrointestinal digestion.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of adding ficin-hydrolyzed wheat gluten at different levels (0%, 1%, 2%, 4%) on bread quality, and in vitro antioxidant activity before and after simulated gastrointestinal digestion. Our findings revealed that the incorporation of the generated wheat gluten hydrolysates (WGH) up to 4 g per 100 g flour positively affected the technological and physical-chemical characterizations of breads, including dough rheological properties, color, specific volume, and moisture. The texture profile analysis indicated reductions in hardness, springiness, and chewiness of the breads, and confirmed anti-staling properties during storage.

Solubilization of concentrated protein dispersion: Effect of hydrogen peroxide (HO) and sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP).

In the present study, the functionality of HO and sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) on solubilization of whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) and isolate (WPI), resistant to sterilization temperature at various concentrations, was investigated. The physical state of the treated WPH and WPI dispersions at the presence of various concentrations of HO and SHMP was related to their colloidal structures and thermal stability. Using optimum concentration of HO, both dispersions stabilized against heat treatment likely because free SH groups blocked by HO.

Antidiabetic bio-peptides of soft and hard wheat glutens.

The effects of various purification techniques on kiwifruit enzyme characteristics (protease activity, kinetic parameters, and protein patterns) and production of wheat gluten bio-active peptides were investigated. The enzyme extract purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation method exhibited the highest protease activity (26), (0.04 ± 0.

In commemoration of Haj Mohammad Nemazee (1895-1972): the founder of Nemazee Hospital in Shiraz.

Nemazee Hospital in Shiraz, Fars Province, in southern Iran is a well-equipped modern hospital, which was founded in 1955. It is one of the greatest memorials of a Shirazi beneficent merchant, the late Haj Mohammad Nemazee (1895-1972), who dedicated much of his wealth to charitable affairs in his birthplace. This paper briefly explores the history of the establishment of Nemazee Hospital in Shiraz.

A brief history of the publication of Biomedical Journals in Iran between 1901 and 1979.

The history of the publication of biomedical journals parallels the development of modern medicine in Iran. Modern medicine was introduced to Iran in the mid-nineteenth century, particularly after the establishment of the Dar al-Fonun School in 1851. The foundation of this collage of higher education was instrumental in further advancement of modern medicine together with the publication of medical textbooks, but the biomedical journals were published later i.

Influence of microwave-microencapsulated citric acid on some sensory properties of chewing gum.

Over the past few decades, microwave processing and its high potential capabilities have attracted food scientists. Application of microwave for microencapsulation is an innovative and new method in which the shell, due to having different dielectric constant, can fuse and cover core. In this research, the citric acid powder at various size ranges was microencapsulated by casein and inulin, using a domestic microwave oven.

The establishment and the first four decades of the activities of the Pasteur Institute of Iran.

The Pasteur Institute of Iran was inaugurated on August 24, 1921 in Tehran. This new institution was established on the request of the Iranian government with the agreement and scientific support of the French authorities under the supervision of Professor Pierre Paul Emile Roux (1853 - 1933), the General Director of the Paris Pasteur Institute of the time. The Iranian institute was inaugurated 33 years after the original institute was established in Paris on November 14, 1888.

A brief history of the discovery of the circulation of blood in the human body.

The present article describes briefly the development of the theories regarding the circulation of blood in humans, from the time of Galen (second century C.E.) to the work of William Harvey (17th century C.

Gondishapur School of Medicine: the most important medical center in antiquity.

Iran has a rich civilization and a long history during which medical science flourished at specific periods. For instance, medicine blossomed in Sassanids era (226 - 652 AD). One of the most remarkable cultural and scientific centers of Sassanids era was the city of Gondishapur located in the south-west Iran in Shah-Abad near Susa in Khuzestan Province.

The first medical journal of Tehran University.

The School of Medicine of Tehran University was officially established in 1934. Then, in December 1939, Professor Charles Oberling (1895-1960), the famous French pathologist was appointed as the Dean of Medical, Pharmacy, and Dentistry Schools and a new era of medical education was ushered in. He suggested to the Ministry of Culture's authorities to publish a medical journal; subsequently, the first Persian academic medical journal in Iran was founded and published in 1943.

Professor Joseph Tomasch, the founder of the anatomy department of Shiraz Medical School.

Shiraz Faculty of Medicine was officially inaugurated in 1952. In 1958, an eminent Austrian anatomist Professor Joseph Tomasch joined Shiraz Medical School. Professor Tomasch was a great teacher and an active researcher.

Publication of the first journal of dentistry in Iran.

The first scientific journal of dentistry in Iran was published by the "Iranian Dentists' Syndicate" (called in Persian "Sandikay-e Dandanpezeshkan-e Iran") in 1951. A brief account of the journal and its editorial board is presented here.

The historical backgrounds of the ministry of health foundation in Iran.

The early efforts for promotion of public health measures and prevention of fatal epidemic diseases in Iran date back to the second half of the 19th century. Based on historical records, the informal protosanitary councils had existed since the early 1850s, but a new formal health institution called "Sanitary Council", or "Majles-e Hefz al-Sehheh" was founded in 1881. Then, it was reestablished as a permanent council in 1904.
