This experiment was conducted to study the effects of various amounts of treated sunflower meal (SFM) with extracted tannins from pistachio hulls on in vitro gas production and ruminal fermentation in ruminants. The SFM was treated with pistachio extract concentrate (PEC), which contained 111.40 g kg-1 total phenol and 71.30 g kg-1 total tannin per dry matter of e...

In this paper an intelligent separation system, based on artificial neural networks (ANNs), for classifying four different varieties of Iranian pistachio nuts, namely, Kaleghouchi (Ka), Akbari (Ak), Badami (Ba) and Ahmadagaee (Ah) is presented. To develop the ANN models a total of 3200 pistachio sound signals, 800 samples for each variety, were recorded. Features of pistachio nut varieties were...

T he U.S. pistachio industry, which is located almost exclusively in Califor-nia, has experienced phenomenal growth over the past thirty years. The value of U.S. production of pistachios grew from nearly zero in 1976 to $333 million by 2002. The U.S. share of the rapidly growing global pistachio industry has also increased. Outside California, the main pistachio growing region is the Middle Eas...

‎In this paper‎, ‎some algebraic and geometrical properties of the rank$-k$ numerical hulls of normal matrices are investigated‎. ‎A characterization of normal matrices whose rank$-1$ numerical hulls are equal to their numerical range is given‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎using the extreme points of the numerical range‎, ‎the higher rank numerical hulls of matrices of the form $A_1 oplus i A_2$‎, ‎where $A_1...

Sheep adapted to consume tannins rich feeds such as oak leaf (OL) appear to develop defensive mechanisms by their ruminal bacteria against these polyphenols. The capabilities of ruminal isolated tannins resistant bacteria from these animals to ferment a tanniniferous feed (i.e., pistachio hulls, (PH) which were incubated with rumen fluid from Holstein dairy cows was assessed. Six g positive coc...

Pistachio is a nut with high consumption that can be affected by aflatoxin contamination. Regarding influence of this fungus on global trade, broad studies in this area seem to be necessary. In this research, pistachio nuts were coated with methyl cellulose at different concentrations of 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, and 2% by immersion method. Samples were stored in an incubator (25°C) for 4 months. Imaging...

Nowadays, textile processing based on biotechnology has gained its importance in the view of stringent environmental and industrial safety conditions. The use of protease enzymes in protein fibers to improve some physical and mechanical properties is particularly interesting. In this research, wool yarns were first treated with different concentrations of protease enzymes in aqueous solution in...

cold stress is one of the important factors which will reduce crop yield and fruit production in world. Early spring cooling and freezing weather is mostly. Possible this may considerable damage pistachio productions and farmer will lose most of their profit. Therefore study which show how pistachio plant cope freezing weather is valuable and important. The special role of amino acid in plant r...
