A new unusual kauranoid diterpene glycoside, named amygdaloside, was isolated from the nuts of almond (Prunus amygdalus). It’s structure was established as 17-O-D-glucopyranoside ent-6,7-epoxy-6-hydroxyl-6,7-secokaur-19-oic acid, 6,19lactone 16 17-diol on the basis of high-resolution 1D and 2D NMR spectral studies. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.

carbon activated powdered was prepared from activated carbon derived from olive stone. then byusing the surface methodology, many parameters such as ph, furnace temperature (t), acid ratio,time of activation that affect on the qualities prepared activated carbon produced and its efficiencywere investigated. in addition, the adsorption of congo red onto the activated olive stone carbonactive was...

Abstract: Bitter almond shells (BAS) were inspected as a low-cost precursor in producing activated carbon (AC) through the optimized ZnCl2 activation route. The raw BAS impregnated with at multiple ratios (1:1 - 3:1 ZnCl2:BAS), followed by carbonization various temperatures (400 – 800 °C) for different durations (30 120 minutes) tubular reactor. typical AC sample was prepared using 1:1 ZnCl2:BA...

Almond kernels contain phytochemicals and nutrients that potentially have positive health benefits in relation to heart disease, diabetes and obesity. One important mechanism associated with these benefits is an imposed limit on bioaccessibility (release) of nutrients, such as lipids, from almond tissue during mastication and digestion. Recent studies have demonstrated the importance of food st...

BACKGROUND The identity of allergenic almond proteins is incomplete. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to characterize patient IgE reactivity to a recombinant and corresponding native almond allergen. METHODS An almond cDNA library was screened with sera from patients with allergy for IgE binding proteins. Two reactive clones were sequenced, and 1 was expressed. The expressed recombinant allergen...
