A sensitive and reliable LC-(ESI)MS/MS method was developed and validated for the simultaneous analysis of five common advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) after enzymatic digestion in raw and roasted almonds. AGEs included carboxymethyl-lysine (CML), carboxyethyl-lysine (CEL), pyralline (Pyr), argpyrimidine (Arg-p), and pentosidine (Pento-s). This method allows accurate quantitation of free a...

Double stranded RNAs from Prunus samples gathered from various surveys were analyzed by a deep-sequencing approach. Contig annotations revealed the presence of a potential new viral species in an Azerbaijani almond tree (Prunus amygdalus) and its genome sequence was completed. Its genomic organization is similar to that of the recently described Apricot vein clearing associated virus (AVCaV) fo...

Almond (Prunus dulcis) and Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) both are the edible dry fruits, belong to families "Rosaceae" "Fabaceae" respectively. There number of studies have reported biological activities fruit but a very little data is available on shells. Shells extracts possess antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, anticancer due presence bioactive compounds, such as alkaloids,...
