Nuts are dry, single-seeded fruits, with a combination of beneficial compounds that aid in disease prevention and treatment. This review aims to summarize the antioxidant components nutraceutical properties applications hazelnut, almond, pistachio skins, as well discuss their ability prevent treat specific diseases based on vitro vivo studies. The search strategy included searching PubMed datab...

consumption of food containing cholesterol and saturated fatty acids such as butter can increase serum cholesterol and cause cardiovascular diseases. therefore many efforts have been done for decreasing these constituents in foods. in this study, hazelnut and walnut powders were added to butter samples in amounts of 0 (not enriched sample), 10, 20 and 30% for evaluation of chemical characterist...

objective: diabetes is a metabolic disorder which impairs carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. it is accompanied by cognition impairment in diabetic patients and animal models. lipids play an important role in nerve membrane composition, structure and function. this study was designed to evaluate the effect of dietary butter and sesame oils on passive avoidance memory of streptozotocin (stz) diab...

A research was conducted at Pistachio Research Institute in Rafsanjan, Iran, to evaluate the effects of P. vera L. ‘Badami’, P. vera L. ‘Sarakhs’ and P. mutica F and M. ‘Beneh’ rootstocks on mineral content of leaves and kernels of ‘Owhadi’, ‘Kalleh-ghuchi’ and ‘Ahamd-aghaii’ pistachio scion cultivars. Twenty year old trees of these combinations were used during study over 2003 and 2004. Leaves...

We examined interrelationships between crop load, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) uptake, and root growth in mature, alternate-bearing pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) trees. Pistachio trees bear heavy (on-year) and light (off-year) fruit crops in alternate years. Uptake and partitioning of N, P, and K among tree parts were determined during (a) spring flush (mid-March to late May),...

We study the robustness of the butter y network against random static faults. Suppose that each edge of the butter y is present independently of other edges with probability p. Our main result is that there is a 0-1 law on the existence of a linearsized component. More formally, there is a critical probability p such that for p above p , the faulted butter y almost surely contains a linear-size...

Outbreaks of Salmonella contamination of peanut butter have become a serious food safety concern for consumers. Based on the recent studies on peanut butter storage periods and storage methods, we aim to investigate how temperature and light affect the bacteria growth on generic brands of peanut butter. Our results indicate strong temperature and light effects on bacteria growth and the two mai...

This paper proves tight bounds on the bisection width and expansion of butter y networks with and without wraparound. We show that the bisection width of an n-input butter y network is 2(p2 1)n+ o(n) :82n without wraparound, and n with wraparound. The former result is surprising, since it contradicts the prior \folklore" belief that the bisection width was n. We also show that every set of k no...

The modification of microbiota composition to a 'beneficial' one is a promising approach for improving intestinal as well as overall health. Natural fibres and phytochemicals that reach the proximal colon, such as those present in various nuts, provide substrates for the maintenance of healthy and diverse microbiota. The effects of increased consumption of specific nuts, which are rich in fibre...
