Walnut (Juglans regia L.) is a tree with significant economic value and usage for human health and various food industries. However, fresh walnut kernels are a less widespread product than the dried kernels. This study aimed to determine the fresh walnut kernel properties including, fatty acid composition, proximate composition, total phenolics (TPs), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), acidic, p...

PURPOSE Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome. We aimed to clarify the impact of dietary walnut oil versus animal fat on hepatic steatosis, representing the initial step of multistage pathogenesis of NAFLD, in Zucker obese rats. METHODS Zucker lean ad libitum (a.l.), Zucker obese a.l. or Zucker obese pair fed (p.f.) to the lean receiv...

roasting has considerable effects on the quality of cream made of nuts. in this study, the roasting conditions of walnut kernels were optimized based on the stability parameters of the produced cream. temperatures of 100-150°c for 10-30 minutes were used to roast walnut kernels. the amount of oil separation, peroxide, acidity and thiobarbituric acid values of the cream, as well as color paramet...

As a by-product of oil production, walnut proteins are considered as an additional source of plant protein for human food. To make full use of the protein resource, a comprehensive understanding of composition and characteristics of walnut proteins are required. Walnut proteins have been fractionated and characterized in this study. Amino acid composition, molecular weight distribution and gel ...

Walnut oil is a high-value product. Investigation of the variation and main climatic factors affecting oil’s chemical composition vital for breeding quality improvement. Therefore, fatty acid, micronutrients, secondary metabolites compositions contents in walnut were determined three species: Juglans regia L. (common walnut), J. sigillata Dode (iron their hybrids (Juglans × L.), which cultivate...

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...

BACKGROUND Nuclear transcription factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) plays an important role in atherosclerosis by modulating gene expression. Postprandial lipemia has been correlated with an increase in NF-kappaB activation in vascular cells and it is associated with an increase in postprandial triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins, which are involved in the development of atherosclerotic plaque. OBJECTIV...

conclusions consumption of walnut oil (15 g/day for three months) was shown to improve blood glucose level but, no changes were noted for bodyweight and blood pressure in type two diabetic patients. results the two groups were not significantly different for sbp, dbp, body weight, and body mass index. hba1c level decreased significantly in the experiment group by 7.86% ± 21.97 (p = 0.005) from ...

Laboratory testing was conducted with a nutshell filter to determine the oil-removal performance on the basis of the flux rate, media type, media size, water salinity, and oil concentration. The goal was to determine the operating parameters that allowed <5 parts per million by volume (ppmv) of oil at the outlet, which is the normal operating point for this technology in producedwater treatment...
