Abstract
Negation is one of the basic concepts in natural languages. In all natural languages, there exist negative statements corresponding to positive sentences. The meaning of negative sentences in these languages is contrary to the meaning of the corresponding positive sentences. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the morphological and syntactic representation of negation and its position in Lori dialect of Kohgilouyeh based on Minimalist Program. In this regard, the main research questions are:
1- Is the negative marker in Lori dialect a word or a prefix?
2. Does the negative marker place in different positions in Lori dialect?
Based on the main research questions, the following main hypotheses are expressed:
1. Negative marker in Lori dialect is a word.
2. Negative marker places in different positions in Lori dialect.
Although one of the authors is the native speaker of this dialect, the research data was extracted from the speech of five male and female elderly speakers, as well. The research results show that the negative marker in Lori dialect precedes the Tense Phrase/TP as an independent phrase and occurs in different positions in the sentence. In non-attributive and interrogative sentences, the negative marker manifesting in the head position of Negative Phrase (NegP1), first precedes the TP and then it is attracted by the verb. In this position, the relationship between the verb and the head of the negative phrase is realized by Agreement relation. The Negative Phrase2 (NegP2) is another position in which this marker appears in the indicative attributive sentences. In this position, the negative marker is not subject to any movement and remains in its situ position. In addition, in these sentences, the negative marker can also move to the specifier of Focus Phrase/FP. Similarly, the negative marker can occupy the head position of Complementizer Phrase/CP in yes-no question sentences. Moreover, this marker can be used as a prefix before the verb and also locate before the TP as a negative adverb.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Dunaliella salina addition in concentrations of 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1 and 1.5% as substitutes for 6.7, 16.7, 33.4, 50, 66.7 and 100% stabilizers on the rheological, physicochemical and sensory properties of the ice cream samples. All samples showed a shear-thinning behavior. Dunaliella salina addition increased significantly the apparent viscosity and decreased melting rate (P<0.05). Also, the addition of Dunaliella salina increased significantly in the overrun and decreased the hardness of the samples (P<0.05). The sensory evaluation suggests that the addition of Dunaliella salina does not have a significant effect on odor and flavor. Samples containing the highest percentage of Dunaliella salina were received the highest color, appearance and hardness scores by panelists. In general, samples containing a high percentage of Dunaliella salina were selected as the best overall acceptance by panelists. As a general result, according to the results of this study, the addition of Dunaliella salina to ice-cream, while improving the qualitative characteristics of the product, also improves its sensory properties and improves the acceptance of the product.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of adding different concentrations of Bene kernel (5 and 10%) and its microliposomes (400 ppm) on the physicochemical and sensory properties of cream was investigated. The treatments of this research were as follow: T1 (cream with 30% fat), T2 (cream with 20% fat and microliposome), T3 (cream with 20% fat+ microliposome and 5% Bene kernel oil), T4 (cream with 20% fat+ microliposome and 10% Bene kernel oil). PH and syneresis during storage and the parameters of viscosity, texture, color index and sensory evaluation were measured. Results showed that in all samples, during the storage, syneresis increased and the amount of pH decreased (P <0.05). By adding Bene kernel oil, the viscosity of the samples increased (P <0.05). The addition of 10% Bene kernel oil reduced the brightness and increase softness of the texture, and it was not approved in terms of sensory evaluation. T3 was chosen as optimal treatment. The results of this study showed that encapsulating Bene kernel oil as source of phenolic and tocopherol compounds and also applying its oil, help us using beneficial properties of Bene and also provides a positive step towards the production of low-fat cream and promoting consumer health.

Abstract
Encapsulation is one of the most important methods to protect essential oils from evaporation, degradation, and preservation of antimicrobial properties for reducing the number of microorganisms in food. Based on GC/MS analysis, Pulegone (33.10 %), Carvacrol (10.60 %), Piperitenone (9.33 %), Eucalyptol (8.01 %), γ-Terpineol (5.46 %), L- Menthone (4.79 %) were as the major components of phytochemicals of Ziziphoria clinopodioides essential oil (ZEO). Encapsulation of ZEO using maltodextrin and gum arabic in a ratio of 1:1 with different concentrations of 10 %, 20 % and 30 % (w/w) wall, and concentration of 2.5 % (w/w) ZEO by spray drying method was done. Emulsion characteristics were pH = 3.8, particle size = 429 nm, polydispersity index PDI=0.681 and zeta potential = -25.8 mV. The results showed that the best operating conditions for encapsulation of ZEO using maltodextrin and gum arabic by spray drying method, is selection of concentration of 30 % (w/w) wall with ratio of 1:1 and concentration of 2.5 % (w/w) ZEO. The final microcapsul with pH = 4.7, moisture of = 0.9 %, particle size <20 µm, total oil content 4.655 %, surface oil 0.018 %, oil retention 60 %, encapsulation efficiency 96.65 %, zeta potential = -22.7 mV, polydispersity index (PDI) = 0.375 and water-soluble property with light yellow color and without sediment was produced. Spray drying method is a suitable method for encapsulation of ZEO. ZEO is insoluble in water, but a water-soluble microcapsule can be produced with using this method. Due to the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of zeo, it can be used as a natural and effective preservative in reducing pathogenic bacteria and increasing the shelf life of food.

Abstract
Fish is one of the most important and valuable sources of protein, fat and energy, but it is very corruptible and will be corrupted faster than other meat dishes. The present study was carried out to determine the effect of Spirulina algae chitosan coating on maintaining the quality of Huso huso fresh fillet during storage in refrigerator. Fresh fillets of chitosan solution (1%) containing 1% algae extract, treated and stored in a refrigerator. Microbial and chemical tests including total bacterial count and psychrophilic bacteria, pH, TBA as well as sensory evaluation were performed periodically for all specimens and measured for DPPH .eagla For algae - containing coatings, the total bacterial load was 2.56×106 cfu/ml and on the fifth day it was still in acceptable range for human consumption, but in control samples, 3.81×107 cfu/ml it was five days that exceeded the limit. Serum bacterial levels for control treatment were significantly higher than that of extract containing chitosan coatings and TBA values were significantly higher in the control fillets than in the first treatment, while the pH values in the control sample with the treated sample, there was no significant increase. Current study showed that using algae extract containing chitosan coating can prevent bacterial growth in fresh fish fillets and maintain its sensory properties including texture, smell, color and general acceptance. And increased the fish storage period in the refrigerator.

Abstract
In recent years, the attention of researchers to common diseases between humans and animals (zoonosis), control of diseases and food poisoning of animal origin has been very high. Due to the importance of meat in the transmission of pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella, in this study, the control and reduction of microbial load of this dangerous bacterium was studied using Ziziphora clinopodioides essential oil (ZEO) in vitro. First, the Ziziphora clinopodioides plant was prepared and its essential oil was extracted using an industrial clevenger apparatus. Essential oil compositions were obtained by chemical analysis using GC/MS. The results of the chemical analysis showed that Pulegone is the most abundant compound in ZEO. Antibacterial effects of ZEO on Salmonella typhimurium and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) were determined by tube dilution method. Experimental results show that ZEO has an antimicrobial effect on Salmonella typhimurium and can be added to food as a natural preservative. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of ZEO for Salmonella typhimurium was 125 µL/L and the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of ZEO for Salmonella typhimurium was 250 µL/L.

Abstract
Fat oxidation during the storage period is one of the important factors in the deterioration of food quality. Hydrolyzed fish waste is one of the most important sources of bioactive peptides as a natural antioxidant. The purpose of this research is adding bioactive peptide that obtained from the enzymatic hydrolysis of rainbow trout waste (viscera) to the cooked hamburger formulation and measure the characteristics of the hamburger. Fish wastes were hydrolyzed in optimum conditions (temperature 59°C, time 118 minutes and concentration of 2% alcalase enzyme and then, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2% by weight, were added to the hamburger samples. A hamburger is also as a blank. The tests were performed in 3 repetitions and the averages were compared with Duncan's test to check the significance of the variables at P < 0.05 and the data were reported as mean ± standard deviation. The results showed that the cooked hamburger formulation contains 2% viscera by weight, has the highest percentage of cooked yield, fat and moisture retention, and the lowest amount of hardness, cooking loss and shrinkage. Using of a waste source, in order to turn it into a valuable product with antioxidant properties, lead to reduce the amount of fish waste and helps the environment. With this method, natural antioxidants can be used instead of synthetic sources.

Abstract
This research aimed to investigate the physical, mechanical, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties of a smart nanocomposite film based on chitosan/ aloe vera containing hydrolyzed tomato seed protein. For this purpose, the hydrolyzed tomato seed protein was first prepared using the Alcalase enzyme under different time conditions (30, 60, 90, 120 minutes). Then, 5 edible films including nano-chitosan, nano-chitosan and aloe vera gel with different concentrations of hydrolyzed protein (0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5%) were prepared, and the film properties were evaluated. Based on the results of the hydrolyzed protein, the hydrolyzed protein had a high protein content and degree of hydrolysis. This protein also had a high content of hydrophobic amino acids (31.78%) and aromatic amino acids (11.74%). The mechanical test results of the films showed that increasing the protein concentration led to a decrease in tensile strength and an increase in elongation at break of the polylactic acid films. According to the physical test results, increasing the protein concentration did not have a significant effect on moisture and solubility, but increased water vapor permeability and turbidity (p<0.05). the hydrolyzed tomato seed protein had high DPPH radical scavenging activities and increasing the concentration had a positive effect on these parameters (p<0.05). These films also had high antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria, with higher antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus than Escherichia coli. The nanocomposite film containing 1.5% hydrolyzed protein had the highest antioxidant and antimicrobial activity (p<0.05). This study showed that hydrolyzed protein can improve the physical and mechanical properties of chitosan/aloe vera based films. Specifically, films containing 1.5% hydrolyzed protein had better properties such as higher antioxidant activity and antimicrobial activity.
