he aim of this work was to investigate the possibility of using nanoparticles pectin as active colloidal systems in meat sausage. The effect of different concentrations of pectin and pectin nanoparticles as active colloid on the quality properties of the physicochemical, texture profile and sensory evaluation of meat sausage were investigated. The results showed that the particle sizes were decreased with decreasing the concentrations of pectin. The obtained results indicated that the best water holding capacity (lowest value) , plasticity, cooking loss, cooking yield, emulsion stability, texture profile analysis and sensory evaluation were recorded in the nanoparticles pectin sausage samples (P6,P5 and P4) when compared to the ordinary pectin sausage samples (P3,P2 and P1) and control samples (C).

The objectives of the present study were to determine the proportion of the Agricultural Social Science Research (ASSR) compared to other disciplines published in the Bulletin of the Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University (BFACU) and The bulletin of the Egyptian Journal of Agricultural Research Center (BEJARC) and to identify the research areas of agricultural extension and rural community in the two studied bulletins and to determine the level of participation in the ASSR published in the two studied bulletins, as well as to identify significant differences between the total degrees of overall participation of the ASSR published in the two studied bulletins.The study samples included the ASSR published in BFACU and BEJARC during 3 years: 2011, 2012, and 2013. Data were collected and classified by content analysis from each research, as a single unit. Frequencies, percentages, mean, minimum, maximum, and "t" test were used to analyze the data. The most important results were as follow: 1. The total number of ASSR published in BFACU and BEJARC were 9 and 26 representing 6.3% and 7.6% of the total published research papers in the two bulletins respectively. 2. The number of agricultural extension and rural community research areas covered by BFACU were three only for each specialization from the seven areas, compared with five areas covered for each specialization in BFACU and BEJARC. 3. The majority of the ASSR published in BEJARC fall in the medium and low participation categories with percentages 55.6% and 44.4%, respectively, as well as in the BEJARC. The majority of the ASSR fall in the low and medium participation categories with percentages 73.1% and 26.9%, respectively. While there was no research of ASSR published in the high participation category of both bulletins. 4. No significant difference was found between the means of participation scores in the two bulletins.
