Abstract
This research was carried out to determine the optimum conditions for acidic extraction of gelatine from cattle bones. The effects of different treatments such as pH (1.8 to 2.6), temperature (60 to 80°C) and time (40 to 120minutes) on yield of extraction, gel strength, viscosity and absorption (420 nm) was measured. Coefficients of central composite rotatable design (CCRD) and regression surface response.... (RSREG) were used. The coefficients for yield, gel strength, viscosity and absorption were 0.990, 0.991, 0.998, 0.928, respectively. According to variance analysis of the data, there were significant differences between the effects of three variables (pH, temperature and time) on yield of extraction and viscosity, but no significant difference was observed between the effects of temperature and pH on gel strength and absorption, respectively. Comparisons of the averages of functional characteristics of acidic and commercial gelatin showed that viscosity and strength of acidic gelatin were higher than those of commercial one. The optimum conditions were found to be: pH=1.88, temp. 80°C and 118 min., to reach the highest yield and pH=1.88, temp. 60°C and 48 min. to get maximum strength, and pH=2.56, temp. 69°C and 118 min. to obtain the maximum viscosity and finally, pH=2.6, temp. 62°C and 48 min. for minimum absorption. Also, the results revealed that there were significant differences between trace elements content (Fe, Ca and Pb) of commercial and acidic gelatins. Although, acidic gelatin contained higher amount of the elements, but these amounts were still less than maximum values which are allowed to exist in gelatin. Amino acid compositions of both gelatins were almost identical.

Abstract
Enzymes of wheat flour have an important role in production of various cereal products, especially bread, and therefore accurate measurement of enzymatic activity along with improvement of this characteristic is the basis of most studies in baking industry. In the present work, physical properties of three wheat varieties (Mahdavi, Kavir and M7318 that are cultivated in Isfahan province) and chemical characteristics of their flours were investigated. In order to study the changes in enzymatic activities (α-amylase, lipase and lipoxygenase), the activities of these enzymes were measured before and after germination. The relationship between root length and α-amylase activity was studied as well as the relation between lipase and lipoxygenase activities. α-amylase activity of flours was also optimized according to falling number 250 s. The effect of this optimization on the bread texture in four different times after baking, on the flour color in three different times, and on the flour acidity in two different times were then evaluated. The results of chemical measurements showed that M7318 and other two varieties can be considered as weak flours and medium flours, respectively, in terms of their protein and gluten contents. However, all varieties had low levels of α-amylase activity, although, kavir flour had more activity than the others. The results of germination tests indicated an increase in the activity of α-amylase and lipase, but not lipoxygenase. Moreover, during germination times a significant negative correlation between root length and falling number was found. Also, a significant positive correlation between root length and α-amylase activity and between activities of lipase and lipoxygenase was observed.

Abstract
Since malting process of barley is greatly affected by the seed endosperm structure, getting information about its anatomical characteristics along with physico-chemical properties would be very important. The aim of this study was to measure length, width, thickness, kernel density, bulk density, porosity, total nitrogen, reducing sugar, diastatic activity, pH and color changes during malting process. Results showed that width, thickness, reducing sugar and diastatic activity of the samples increased over the malting time, whereas kernel density, bulk density and total nitrogen decreased (P<0/05). Scanning electron microscopic examination of barley endosperm revealed a significant relationship between grain total nitrogen and degree of endosperm modification. Because of lower nitrogen content in Sahra malt, more digestion of cell walls and protein matrix of endosperm walls were observed.
