Honey is a natural product with many attributes that are useful for humans. The consumption of honey is increasing because of its beneficial biological properties, including antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Even though honey is produced worldwide, many variants of this product have not been studied and their biological potential for alternative uses has not been evaluated. Because of i...

Nonspecific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) are basic proteins, stabilized by four disulfide bonds, and are expressed throughout the plant kingdom. These proteins are also known as important allergens in fruits and tree nuts. In this study, the nsLTP from hazelnuts, Cor a 8, was purified and its crystal structure determined. The protein is stable at low pH and refolds after thermal denaturatio...

Characteristics of sugar snap and chocolate chip cookies, and hazelnut biscuits made from refrigerated and frozen dough were studied. Doughs were stored at 4 °C for 6 weeks and at –18 °C for 6 months, respectively. Physical characteristics of the biscuit samples such as spread, baking loss, surface colour and density were determined. Dough colour was not affected by storage time and temperature...

Pyrolysis essentially is the thermal decomposition of organic matter under inert atmospheric conditions or in a limited supply of air, leading to the release of volatiles and formation of char. Modeling of pyrolysis implies the representation of the chemical and physical phenomena in a mathematical form. In this study, Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm is applied and global optimum set of k...

Abstract Hazelnut oil (HO) is important in terms of fatty acid composition and bioactive substances. Although there are a few studies on hazelnut encapsulation, limited research the investigation different wall material combinations for microencapsulation oxidative stability microcapsules. This study aimed to evaluate effects (gum Arabic, sodium caseinate, whey protein, gelatine, modified starc...

This work describe products of reactions between four alpha-dicarbonyl compounds (diacetyl, pentan-2,3-dione, glyoxal, and methylglyoxal) or two alpha-hydroxy ketones, (acetoine and acetol) and amino acids present in wines. The results shows the formation of odorous products or strong-smelling additives resulting from the Maillard and Strecker reaction in a primarily aqueous medium, at low temp...

In this paper the benefits of using highly integrated millimeter-wave FMCW radar systems for industrial and security imaging applications are discussed. A 240 GHz wideband transceiver MMIC with on-chip antennas is presented and first non destructive testing measurements of packed hazelnut chocolate are shown. The radar system covers the frequency band from 204GHz to 265GHz.

Hazelnut (Corylus avellna L.) is one of the important nut crops in world. The harvesting ofhazelnuts is done either by hand or by manual or mechanical raking of fallen nuts in Iran.Common hazel is widely cultivated for its nuts, including in commercial orchards in Europe,Turkey, and Iran. There are some genotypes of hazelnut in Iran that their growing areas arelimited to Gillan, Aredbil, Mazand...
