The study attempted blocking a pure gelatinase generated by S. aureus using local plant inhibitors. One hundred local isolates of S. aureus, identified through biochemical testing, underwent initial as well as  secondary  testing for identifying actively gelatinase-producing S. aureus  isolates. From these isolates, forty-four exhibiting the highest hydrolysis capacity in the first screening (with a Z/G ratio over 10 mm) were chosen for secondary screening. S. aureus R54 demonstrated the highest specific enzyme activity, recorded at 12.3 U/mg protein. Identified through the Vitek test, this isolate exhibited the highest gelatinase activity. Optimal conditions for gelatinase production via submerged

This paper is an attempt to protect the main flavor compounds in concentrated orange juice by using vacuum evaporator technique, instead of the traditional method which causes a remarkable degradation in these compounds. The physiochemical and microbial properties of juice were monitored throughout the concentration processes. Rotary evaporator technique was used at different conditions to concentrate orange juice and comparing with traditionally heat treatment. Total soluble solid (TSS), ascorbic acid, acidity, pH, viscosity and tannins have been affected by various levels according to concentration technique and period of storage. The microbial content had never developed even throughout the storage for six months, because we have adde
