background and aims: walnuts are good sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufa) and polyphenols which have beneficial effects such as proper growth, decreasing coronary heart disease, prevention of several kinds of cancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-mutagenic activities. in this study, the fatty acid content and antiradical activity of different walnut (juglans regia l.) genotypes grown in ...

to study allelopathic effects of iranian walnut (juglans regia l.) on germination and initial growth of purslane (portulaca oleracea) and redroot pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus) an experiment was conducted in shahed university. the result showed that fresh leaf had negatively effected on radicle length. also, with increasing extract concentrations of persian walnut, the seed germination and se...

Walnut (Juglans regia L.) were evaluated for some physical properties and chemical composition. Ripe fruits were determined for moisture (2.71 %), crude protein (14.6 %) crude fibre (1.8 %) ash (1.57 %), crude energy (576 Cal) ether soluble extract (24.71 %), nut (10.5 g) and kernel (5.09 g) veights. Relative density, refractive index, free fatty acids, peroxide value, saponification number, un...

AIM Identification of cyclopropyl fatty acids in walnut oil. METHOD GC/MS method was developed for the determination of eight cyclopropyl fatty acids in walnut (Juglans regia) oil. RESULTS Monocyclopropane acids: methyl 9-cyclopropyl-nonanoate, 6,7-methylene-, 8,9-methylene-, 9,10-methylene-, 11,12-methylene octadecanoates, and dicyclic acid - methyl 9,10,12,13-dimethylene octadecanoate, tr...

The study was conducted at 10 – yearsold walnut orchard at Dr. Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni-Solan(H.P.) to find out the effect of integrated nutrient management on leaf nutrient status of walnut (Juglans regia L.). There were 13 different treatment combinations of organic and inorganic fertilizers. Treatments were applied on per tree basis. Among the treatments re...

The essential oil from the leaves of Juglans regia L. (Juglandaceae) growing wild in Kashmir (India) was obtained by hydro-distillation and analysed during different stages of growth ranging from April to October. The analysis was carried out by a combination of capillary GC-FID and GC-MS analytical techniques. Both qualitative and quantitative differences were observed in the essential oil col...

In this study, walnut green husk extract, which is a valuable waste of horticultural products, was used to enhance antioxidant properties and reduce microbial load of ketchup sauce. Extraction efficiency of walnut green husk extract 22.01%, total phenolic compounds 65.40 (mg gallic acid per 100 g dry husk), flavonoids 10.06 (catechin mg per 100 g dry husk), and EC50 0.17 (mg/mL) were expressed....

To better understand carbon (C) sequestration by Juglans regia L. plantations in karst regions of southwest China, this study examined biomass increment and C storage in four different-aged J. regia stands, as well as the distribution of carbon stock among the various ecosystem components. Tree and ecosystem biomass increased with stand age. Aboveground biomass (AGB) represented 64.79% of the t...
