BACKGROUND Plant cell walls are known to influence the rate and extent of lipid release from plant food tissues during digestion; however, the effect of cell wall structure on postprandial lipemia is unknown. OBJECTIVE The objective was to investigate the effects of lipid release (bioaccessibility) on postprandial lipemia by comparing lipid encapsulated by cell walls with lipid present as fre...

BACKGROUND Nuts have been shown to have beneficial effects on human health due to the healthy fat content; however, the effect of antioxidants (i.e. polyphenols) in nuts have not been fully investigated. The present study aimed to assess the immediate effect of a polyphenol-rich meal (75% of energy from nuts: walnuts or almonds) and a polyphenol-free meal on plasma polyphenol content, antioxida...

Sensory properties are greatly involved in the process of satiation. Regarding the nature of sensory signals, an important distinction can be made between sweet and savory taste. It is unclear, however, whether sweet and savory differ in their influence on satiation. Our objective was to investigate the difference between a sweet and savory taste on satiation, independent of palatability, textu...

to evaluate the effect of replacing the almond meal on viscoelastic properties of rice cake, stress relaxation test was carried out. stress relaxation test were conducted using a texture analyzer machine. constants of the peleg - normand and the extended maxwell model for variables were calculated. the results showed that with increasing strain rate increased amount of k1, k2 and decay forces, ...

An, L.V., 2004. Sweet potato leaves for growing pigs: Biomass yield, digestion and nutritive value. Doctor’s dissertation. ISSN 1401-6249, ISBN 91-576-6750-0 The aim of the present studies was to evaluate the potential of using sweet potato leaves (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam) as a protein source in diets for growing pigs. A number of sweet potato varieties were evaluated with respect to the bioma...

Using calcium oxide-based catalyst, optimization of two-stage trans-esterification processes at a fixed catalyst (1.0 wt. %) and molar ratio (1:6) was achieved. Processes were tested on Jatropha, Sweet Almond Sesame seed oils to produce compare biodiesel yields. An solution speed (629.630 rpm), temperature (26.661 oC), time (60 min) resulted in an 83.304% for refined jatropha (RJB) production, ...

cyanogenesis in prunus species produces‎‏ ‏cyanogenic glycosides such as‏ ‏monoglycoside ‎prunasin and digelicosede amygdalin. despite the mechanism of almond bitterness inheritance ‎has been known, biosynthesis cycle of cyanogenic compounds among different genotypes is still ‎unclear. total soluble proteins of fruits was extracted from collected sweet and bitter almond ‎genotypes and was studi...

Background and objectives: Amygdalus with a number of endemic species grow vastly in Iran. Edible sweet almond (A. communis), is cultivated in many countries due to its pharmaceutical, nutritional and cosmetic importance; while almond oil which is rich in oleic acid is known for its economic interest. In the present study, the amount and constituents of oil of six Amygdalu...
