Almond is one of the most important nut crops in Iran. Due to the suitable climatic conditions, Iran is one of the most important growing centers for wild and domesticated species of almond in world. Native genotypes typically are early flowering, due to late spring frost, often; they have been damaged. So frost damage to the flowers and early developing fruits is one of the most limiting facto...

Hydrothermal, dilute acid, and steam explosion pretreatment methods, were evaluated for their efficiency to improve the methane production yield of three Mediterranean agricultural lignocellulosic residues such as olive tree pruning, grapevine pruning, and almond shells. Hydrothermal and dilute acid pretreatments provided low to moderate increase in the digestibility of the biomass samples, whe...

tree nuts, including almond (prunus dulcis) are a source of food allergens often associated with life-threatening allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. although the proteins in almonds have been biochemically characterized, relatively little has been reported regarding the identity of the allergens involved in almond sensitivity. the present study was undertaken to identify the allerge...

This work aimed to prepare a nanoemulsion preparation containing budesonide and assess its aerodynamic behavior in comparison with suspension of budesonide. In-vitro aerodynamic performance of the corresponding micellar solution (ie. nanoemulsion preparation without oil) was investigated too. Nanoemulsions of almond oil containing budesonide, as a hydrophobic model drug molecule, were prepared ...

Neutrase 0.8L and N120P proteases were used for oligopeptide production from apricot almonds meal, and response surface design was carried out to optimize the effect of hydrolysis conditions on hydrolysis degree (DH) and oligopeptide yield rate. Four independent variables were used to optimize the hydrolysis process: hydrolysis temperature (X(1)), enzyme-to substrate ratio (E/S) (X(2)), substra...

This study was conducted at College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, University Sulaimani, Kurdistan Region-Iraq so as to investigate some nut traits in 10 bitter almond genotypes, capacity them release from dormancy and finally germination ability. Nut were calculated, stratified a sand medium 6 C refrigerator for 55 days, then they sown fine on August 22, 2021 29 days calculate percentag...

Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin make up the majority of biomass energy, which is a sustainable renewable feedstock. Since most common naturally occurring aromatic polymer on Earth, it holds great promise for useful products. Separating from cellulose in before converting to biofuels or bioproducts crucial pre-treatment step. Alkali acid can be used extract non-food components that remain f...

Torrefaction is a promising pretreatment technology for valorizing biomass and upgrading pyrolysis products. This study sets out an original procedure consisting of subjecting the to torrefaction before fast increased value-added compounds based on agricultural waste biomasses production. uses combined treatment (280–320 °C) subsequent (500 using same reactor. Under different temperatures resid...
