THE aim of present RESEARCH in THE first stage was to extract astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis using acid-acetone method AND THEn nanoencapsulation of THE pigment using maltodextrin-sodium caseinate coating. In THE next step, antioxidant AND antibacterial ACTIVITIES of nanocapsules carrying astaxanthin AND THE free form of THE pigment was evaluated. In order to evaluate antibacterial activity of THE samples, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus iniae, Bacillus subtilis (Gram positive), Yersinia ruckeri, Escherichia coli AND Enterobacter aerogenes (Gram negative) were used. THE results showed that THE antioxidant activity of nanocapsules carrying astaxanthin is significantly higher than THE free form of pigment (p<0.05); In addition, this activity was improved by increasing THE concentration of samples from 100 to 200 µg/ml (p<0.05). By astaxanthin nanoencapsulation, THE diameter of non-growth zone of THE studied bacteria increased (p<0.05), but minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) AND minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of THE pigment AND its carrier nanocapsules decreased (p<0.05). According to THE results of zone of inhibition, Gram positive (except Listeria monocytogenes) AND Gram negative bacteria were resistant up to concentrations of 60 AND 80 µg/ml of samples, respectively. In THE following, THE MIC AND MBC of THE pigment (free AND nanoencapsulated forms) for THE seven bacteria ranged from 50 to 400 AND 100 to 500 µg/ml, respectively. THE results of evaluation THE antioxidant AND antibacterial ACTIVITIES of nanocapsules carrying astaxanthin during storage period (30 days at 4ºC) indicated stability AND no significant change of THEse properties (p>0.05). According to THE values of diameter of non-growth zone, MIC AND MBC, Listeria monocytogenes was THE most sensitive bacteria against astaxanthin AND its carrier nanocapsules. Based on THE findings, astaxanthin extracted from Haematococcus pluvialis has antioxidant AND antibacterial ACTIVITIES, AND THEse properties are improved by THE pigment nanoencapsulation using maltodextrin-sodium caseinate coating.

In some point of view, neiTHEr Michel Foucault nor Ibn Khaldun are considered philosophers in THE conventional classifications, but both are very  important in intellectual AND, of course, in philosophical contexts, especially for those who are interested in THE deep study of human life from THE perspective of political thought.THE main concern of two thinkers, one in THE 14th century, THE oTHEr in THE 20th century, is THE issue  of power, although neiTHEr of THEm provided a precise definition of it. In this article, an attempt has been made to show THE place of power AND domination in THE political thought of both thinkers by examining THE thoughts of two thinkers. AND in search of an answer to this question, how did Asabiyyah AND industry of religion in Ibn Khaldun's thought AND social control through self-technology AND discipline in Foucault's thought lead to THE expansion of THE domination of power? This article is written by analytically comparing THE opinions of two thinkers based on Ibn Khaldun's most important book called Muqaddimah AND Foucault's late works
