Incidence of Xanthomonas arboricola pv. corylina, the causal agent of hazelnut bacterial blight, was analyzed spatially in relation to the pedoclimatic factors. Hazelnut grown in twelve municipalities situated in the province of Viterbo, central Italy was studied. A consistent number of bacterial isolates were obtained from the infected tissues of hazelnut collected in three years (2010-2012). ...

Hazelnut, which has the most common cultivation area after almonds and walnuts among shell fruits in world, contains high levels of fat, protein, carbohydrates, various minerals vitamins. Hazelnut a broad growing around Turkey accounts for 58% world production with 776,000 tons annually. With this capacity, ranks first hazelnut over world. Harmful insects trees are main factors that reduce yiel...

The allergenicity of hazelnuts treated with different proteolytic enzymes was examined and compared by SDS-PAGE / immunoblotting and EASTinhibition experiments using sera of 16 hazelnut allergic individuals. 30 min treatment with the enzymes protease, elastase and trypsin eliminated the allergenicity of the hazelnut proteins, which can be shown by means of immunoblotting experiments. EASTinhibi...

The seasonal phenology of the leaf area index (LAI) is a major determinant of net ecosystem production in deciduous forest ecosystems. This study describes seasonal and inter-annual differences in LAI in a boreal aspen-hazelnut forest in central Saskatchewan, Canada, between 1994 and 2003, and relates the differences in LAI to annual net ecosystem production (FNEP). A robust method is developed...

The reuse of by-products from the agro-industry in animal feeding is desirable to increase sustainability productions. Hazelnut skin a by-product food industry and due high content crude fat phenolic compounds can be potentially used ruminants’ diet. In this study, we characterised compared microbial communities rumen digesta (RD) lambs fed diet supplied with hazelnut vs. control Microbial DNA ...

Due to its higher price, compared to other edible oils, control of adulteration of the olive oil is one of the main aspects to be evaluated in its quality control. Adulteration with hazelnut oil is one of the most difficult to be detected due to the great similarity existing in the composition of hazelnut and olive oils; both virgin olive oil and olive oil are subjected to that kind of adultera...

BACKGROUND:Raw and roasted nuts are one of the most popular snacks consumed in Iran but mishandling and poor storage conditions and practices may lead to promote the growth of microorganisms and foodborne intoxications and infections. OBJECTIVES:The purpose of this study was to investigate the microbial quality of raw and roasted (salted and unsalt- ed) n...

INTRODUCTION Different clinical and molecular patterns of food allergy have been reported in different areas of the world. The aim of the study is to evaluate differences in allergen patterns among nut-allergic patients in two different areas of Spain. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 77 patients with nut allergy from two different regions of Spain (Madrid and Asturias) were evaluated. RESUL...

Halyomorpha halys Stål, the brown marmorated stink bug (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is an invasive pest with established populations in Oregon. The generalist feeding habits of H. halys suggest it has the potential to be a pest of many specialty crops grown in Oregon, including hazelnuts, Corylus avellana L. The objectives of this study were to: 1) characterize the damage to developing hazelnut k...
