In this study, galactomannan was extracted from different sources (fenugreek, guar, and locust bean). Chemical composition and rheological properties of raw materials and galactomannans were determined. Glactomannans were also determined using HPLC to calculate the galactose / mannose ratio. Galactomannans were added to wheat flour at different levels as improvers and to produce healthy pan bread and cakes. Rheological properties of dough measurements and sensory evaluation of pan bread and cake were studied. The effect of galctomannans on staling rates for pan bread and cake were also studied. The results showed that galactomannan characterized by low contents of ash, ether extract, protein and crude fiber, whereas, it contained higher percentage of gum. The yields of extracted galactomannans with cold water from all previous used materials were higher than those extracted with hot water. They were 13.63, 16.45, 14.20, 12.99, and 14.72 for cold water extraction, and 8.46, 14.54, 11.42, 10.48, and 11.88 for hot water extraction for untreated fenugreek, treated fenugreek, black guar, white guar, and locust bean, respectively. The galactose to mannose ratio of galactomannans was 1.0 : 1.1 for fenugreek, 1.0 : 1.7 for guar and 1.0 : 2.4 for locust bean. The best used concentration of extracted galactomannan solutions were 1.0 % at shear rate (γ) 60 r.min-1. The rheological properties of dough made using 1.0 % level of extracted galactomannan from all used sources exhibited significant increase in each of water absorption, arrival time, mixing time, and stability. Meanwhile, physical and sensory properties of pan bread and cake were accepted at galactomannan concentration till 1.0 %. The effect of galactomannans extracted from different sources retard staling of pan bread and cake and improved keeping quality during storage periods till 1% levels than that of the other levels and control. On the other hand, galactomannans of carob beans was the best gum to retard staling than the other gums extracted from fenugreek and guar seeds.

Abstract
Laboratory experiments were carried out to study the degree of insect infestation by sitophilus oryzae L. on maize grains(Hybrid10) treated in the field with organo-fertilizer (farm –yard manure at zero and 20 m3/fed.) under three levels of nitrogen fertilization(45,90 and 135 kg/fed). Results showed that the degree of infestation and the mean of emerged adults of S. oryzae were greatly affected by the tested fertilization treatments of Hybrid 10 maize. Data also , showed that the treatment of hybrid to insect infestation whereas , the combination between the high levels of nitrogen ( 135 kg/ fed .) and 20m3/fed manure, dave Hybrid 10 more tore tolerant for infestation and with less weight loss. Relationship between some chemicak and physical characters of Hybrid 10 and its resistance to insect infestation was atudied . Studch characteristics were obviously affected as a rested levels of nitrogen fertilization as well as its combination with manure , On the other hand, some physical characteristics were variously affected by insect infestation, i.e. weight of 100 grain , grain volume. Ash % endosperm %, germ % and hull %, Most of chemical composition of tested treatmend ( except total carbohydrate ) fertilization i. e. amylase %protein %, ash, oil %, and fibers. Finally, crude and its fractions the tested hybrid affected the degree of insect infestation and should be taken in consideration during breeding preeding to select a line with high yield. High quality , more resistant to insect attack and characterized with low degree of deterioration after storage.

ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to investigate the utilization of pulp and seeds flours of pumpkin as replacement of wheat flour at different levels (5,10,15,20%) to prepare rich protein and minerals biscuits for school children. The chemical composition of flours of wheat, pumpkin pulp and pumpkin seeds was determined. Chemical composition and physical properties as well as organoleptic evaluation of prepared biscuits were also determined. Elemental analysis of both pulp, defatted seeds flours of pumpkin and wheat flour as well as of prepared biscuits was performed. In addition, biological study using Albino white rats was done to evaluate biological parameters of prepared biscuits.
Results indicated that the pumpkin seeds flour (PSF) contain a high protein content (43.8%) compared with that of wheat flour (11.16%) and pumpkin pulp flour (PPF) (8.37%). Ash content of PPF (11.17%) was significantly higher than those of PSF (3.4%) and wheat flour that has only 1.1% of ash content. PSF has values of calcium, sodium, iron, zinc, potassium and phosphorus significantly higher than those of wheat flour. PPF is very rich of potassium, sodium, calcium and iron compared with wheat flour. The protein and minerals contents of biscuit made with PSF increased significantly with increasing the replacement ratio. The addition of pumpkin pulp flour as replacement of wheat flour until level of 20% led to a significant increase in minerals content. Moreover, it gave a very good effect on sensory characteristics and protein efficiency ratio of prepared biscuit. Biscuit samples contained PSF gave higher body weight gain of experimental rats and food efficiency ratio (FER) in comparison with wheat flour biscuits. As organoleptic evaluation, the biscuit samples contained PSF until 10% as replacement ratio of wheat flour are nearly similar to control sample. Based on the obtained results, the new product of biscuit contained PSF or PPF can be covered protein and minerals of nutritional needs of schoolchildren in developing countries and could be recommended as food aid in institutional feeding programs for pupils in different school stages.

Day by day increase importance the natural food additives, hence in this study, the phenolic extracted from basil leaves, spearmint leaves and fennel seeds as natural antioxidants were added at concentration 200, 400 and 600 ppm from fat weight using in biscuit production. Biscuit was stored at room temperature for 8 months. Induction period was measured by Rancimat apparatus. Total phenolic and phenolic acids compound were determined. Peroxide value, acid value, thiobarbituric acid and refractive index were measured during storage. Antimicrobial activity for phenolic extraction were examined after 8 months. Sensory evaluation was measured directly after baking. The results showed that total phenolic content in basil leaves, spearmint leaves and fennel seeds were 3.97, 1.91 and 1.53 mg/g as caffeic acid equivalents respectively. Five phenolic acids were found in both basial leaves and spearmint leaves, while four phenolic acids were found in fennel seeds by using (HPLC). Rancimat results showed that induction period for phenolic herbs could be ranked as follow: basil leaves > spearmint leaves > fennel seeds. The results elucidated that the best concentration from natural additives as antioxidants activity were 400 and 600 ppm compared with BHT. The results revealed that the more concentration of natural antioxidants increased, the more peroxide value, acid value, thiobarbituric acid and refractive index decreased. Total bacterial count and (yeast & mold) count were decreased with increasing the concentration phenolic additives. Sensory evaluation declared that addition different antioxidants had no significant differences effects were found between control and biscuit samples.
