The present study aimed to prolong local soft cheese storage duration with some natural herbs by antimicrobial Activity against pathogenic microorganisms. The analysis of chemical parameters was Fat, Protein, salt, Moisture, and PH by the technique (Application of DA 7250 At-line NIR Analyzer) was conducted to uncover the percentages of local Cheese during the period of blank, mixed with herb, without herb and salt. Our study showed that the local chees mixed with herb had high significant values (p< 0.01) as fat 28.32, protein 21.37, salt 0.57 and moisture 45.76, compared with other parameters of blank, and salt (p< 0.01). The PH texture analyzer from the additive herbs of local cheese observed increased values of 5.64, 5.84 from 12, and 18 days in line equation y = 0.136x + 5.27 (R2 =0.9755). Therefore, the inhibition zone of local cheese mixed with herbs such as thyme, rosemary, and chamomile was a significant zone to prevent the growth of microbes as antibiotics to prolong the shelf life of cheese, especially the thyme has a more significant zone of antimicrobial activity to inhibition of the growth, Escherichia coli 12.04 mm, Staphylococcus 11.12 mm, Mucor 9.06 mm and Penicillium 7.09 mm. The total viable count (TVC) of coliform bacteria that the local cheese sample was detected to be the interval of herb 81*104-10.7*104 and salt 36*104-56*104 during storage in 5 and 12 days, and the yeasts and moulds were increased from 5*103 to 2.8 *104 CFU/ml after 12 days when adding thyme herbs according to a different time. Sensory evaluation of the local cheese with herbs especially thyme could be successfully used by tasters. In conclusion, thyme and other herbs can be use as an effective and great nutritional source for local cheese to extend its shelf life as it has preservative properties as antioxidant for both nutrition and human against microbes and illnesses.

Read More ... Purpose: Dialysis is a common treatment used for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), where a dialysis filter is used to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood. The choice of dialysis filter can significantly impact the biochemical parameters of patients undergoing dialysis. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Cuprophane dialysis filter on the biochemical parameters of 100 chronic kidney disease patients undergoing three consecutive dialysis sessions at Ramadi Teaching Hospital in Iraq.Methods: Blood samples were collected from a total of 200 individuals, including 100 patients with CKD at Al-Ramadi Teaching Hospital in Iraq and 100 control subjects who were matched for age and gender as healthy control group. Samples were taken both before and immediately after three consecutive hemodialysis sessions for the CKD patients. Twenty blood parameters were measured for each sample using standard laboratory methods. The mean and standard deviation (SD) of each parameter were calculated, and ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) were used to determine the significance of differences between pre- and post-dialysis values.Results: Before dialysis, the patients had significantly higher levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, potassium, glucose, uric acid, and total bilirubin, and significantly lower levels of serum total protein (STP) compared to the control group. After three dialysis sessions, the patients had significantly increased levels of serum cholesterol, triglycerides, amylase, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), while the D.bilirubin level showed no significant difference compared to the control group.In contrast, after three dialysis sessions, the patients had significantly decreased levels of serum albumin, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), calcium, sodium, aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), and total bilirubin (T.Bilirubin). Furthermore, the results indicated that the Cuprophane dialysis filter had differential effects on the levels of certain parameters before and after dialysis.Specifically, the dialysis membranes increased the levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), decreased the levels of uric acid, serum potassium (S.K+), urea, and chloride (Cl-) to below the values of the control group, and reduced the high levels of Cr and Glu. These reductions brought the levels of creatinine and glucose to the control group levels after dialysis.Conclusion: In conclusion, the use of Cuprophane dialysis filter in chronic kidney disease patients led to significant changes in various biochemical parameters. The results highlight the importance of considering the type of dialysis filter used and monitoring the biochemical parameters of patients undergoing dialysis..

The current study was conducted in the Fungi Research Laboratory, Department of biology, College of Sciences, University of Anbar , the study included collecting 93 samples of infected fruits (fruits and vegetables) in Cold stores for different regions of Al- Anbar province. The fungi that contaminated the fruits were isolated and characterized microscopically and molecularly, and aqueous plant extracts and dry powders were prepared of Eugenia flowers for the purpose of studying their effect on radial growth and pathogenicity of these contaminated fungi, Aspergillus flavus و Aspergillus niger ، Neurospora crassa This was done by using the method of poisoning the food medium PDA with concentration 10%, 20%,30% v/v for aqueous extract and 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 mg/ml for dry powder of Eugenia powder, to evaluate the efficacy of the aqueous extracts and dry powder against contaminated fungi. The fungicidal effect Topsin M 70% was also tested with concentration 0.02 mg/ml of PDA. The active chemical compounds of the plant extracts have been detected using several chemical reagents and by using GC MASS technology for aqueous extracts and the pH value was determined also.The results showed that the aqueous extract of Eugenia flowers inhibited the radial growth of contaminated fungi Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Neurosporo crassa Where the highest inhibition percentage was reached when the concentration was 30% v/v and gave 6, 6, 5.6 mm respectivily with inhibition ratio 85.7, 85.7, 93.4 % with significant differences from the control treatment at probability level 0.05.Also the results showed, Eugenia dry powder, it gave an effective inhibition towards the isolated fungi, A. niger, A.flavus, N. crassa. The results showed the ability of Eugenia dry powder to stimulate resistance in tomato fruits before and after infection with fungi, at an incubation temperature of 11º c. Pre-inoculated with these Neurosporo crassa and Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger contaminated fungi and beyond. The superiority of Eugenia dry powder in the pre-inoculation treatment in reducing the severity of the infection with the contaminated fungus, as it gave the highest effectiveness in reducing the severity of the infection with N.crassa, amounting to 26.6%, compared to the control treatment, which gave an infiction severity 80%.The results of the qualitative chemical detection indicated the active compounds in the plant extract, The extract contain many effective compounds with antifungal activity such as alkaloids, resins, reducing sugars, tannins, saponins, glycosides, Terpenes, flavonoids and fucoumarins.GC-MS results showed that Eugenia extract contains many active chemical compounds that are attributed to antifungal activity, such as euginol and thymoquinone.
