Providing food security during the food preparation for restaurants and self- services is very important. The aim of this study was to determine level of prepared food contamination with egg, larvae and adult insects, or other health pests. Methods: In a period of 3 years, samples of food (26) suspected to be contaminated with biological agents related to various restaurants and universities’ self-services and were investigated. Organs or larval stages of insects were isolated and were later cleaned using water. The samples were identified using a stereo microscope. The results were compared using images and tables. Results: Contaminated food and fast food including kabab koobideh and celery stew respectively accounted for highest (19%) and lowest (1 case) contamination rate in the present study. The contamination rate of the other studied foods was as follow: Rice and raw milk each respectively 15.5%, Kale pache and soup each 11.5%, Ghorme sabzi, khorest-e-gheyme and hamburger each with 7.7%. Conclusion: Supply of primary healthy food sources and securing food safety during preparation as well as complete and accurate maintenance of food up to the consumption phase are among the most important measures to be considered to prevent food contamination with insect larvae.

  • The Impact of Traditional Medicine on Iranian Cuisine Ingredients
    ISSN: 2186-8476, ISSN: 2186-8468 Print ASIAN JOURNAL OF NATURAL & APPLIED SCIENCES Vol. 2 No. 3 September 2013 THE IMPACT OF TRADITIONAL MEDICINE ON IRANIAN CUISINE INGREDIENTS Dr. Parvaneh Seyed Almasi Assistant Professor, Osku Branch, Islamic Azad University, Osku, IRAN. [email protected] ABSTRACT In far past, Iranian cuisines and traditional medicine were linked together; thus practitioners mentioned the name of many different cuisines along with their benefits and risks in their books and looked up on them from medical point of view. Ancient practitioners used to give recommendations mostly on adding additives in the ingredients of cuisine so that people could get more benefit and less harm of whatever they ate. Those recommendations gradually spread to community and gained people's attention, in a way that still the effect of traditional medicine is evident in many Iranian cuisines. The present paper reviews and investigates the impact of traditional medicine on the ingredients of Iranian cuisines by providing some samples of Iranian's modern eating habits. Keywords: Iranian cuisines, Traditional Medicine, Advantages, Disadvantages, Chelo - Kabab, Khoresht-e Bademjan (Persian Eggplant Stew) INTRODUCTION There was an interminable relationship between cuisines and medical science, since cuisine was an important factor affecting the health of human beings and also cuisine treatment was one of the main methods of treating in those times. While turning the pages of ancient medical books, written by Iranians in-post Islamic period, many cuisines' names are encountered which undoubtedly date back to the pre-Islamic era. In these books beside the cuisines which had only medical aspects and were specific for sick people, the ones which commonly used by the community of those days can also be found; in a way that after describing diseases, practitioners have determined beneficial and harmful cuisines and prescribed certain ones to speed healing, strengthening and even curing the patients.

Satış sorumlusu veya uzman olarak işe başlayanların zaman içinde müdür pozisyonlarında yer aldığını görmek de Sarten’in geleceğine dair umut veriyor. Tüm bunları, eğitime ve insana verdiğimiz değere bağlıyoruz. Sarten Akademi’yi kurarken, hedeflediğimiz iş kültürüne ulaşmış olmanın mutluluğunu yaşıyoruz. Çalışma hayatına ilk defa başlayacak olan seçilmiş genç yeteneklere yönelik olarak 2008 yılında başlattığımız Sarten Akademi, bugüne kadar toplam dokuz defa düzenlendi ve 150’ye yakın adayın çalışma hayatlarının ilk anlarından itibaren gelişimine katkı sağladı. Geçen yıl, Koç Üniversitesi ile yaptığımız iş birliğiyle eğitimi biraz daha geliştirdik ve Sarten Akademi’nin çatısı altında Gelişim Fakültesi’ni oluşturduk. Bu programla geleceğin yönetici adaylarına eğitimler vermeye başladık. Mayıs ayında ilk mezunlarımıza da sertifikalarını takdim ettik. Hızlı değişen dünyada, gelişimi sürdürmek için yenilikleri takip etmek gerekiyor. Sarten Akademi şimdi bu misyonu yerine getirmek için eğitim programlarına devam edecek. Çalışanlarımızda gözlemlediğimiz gelişim, Sarten olarak belirlediğimiz hedeflerin gerçekleştirilebileceğini gösteriyor. Sektörün en büyük ambalaj üreticisi olacağımıza artık daha çok inanıyoruz. Çünkü tüm çalışanlarımızın Sarten’in hedeflerine ortak olduğunu ve benimsediğini görebiliyoruz. Ülkenin genç değerlerini gördüğümüzde, Sarten’in bir ambalajdan çok daha fazlasını ürettiğini düşünüyoruz... Yine yoğun bir yarıyılı geride bırakıp yaz dönemine girdiğimiz şu günlerde tüm çalışanlar ve müşterilerimize keyifli bir yaz diliyoruz.
