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...

Regular nut consumption is associated with lower adiposity and reduced weight gain in adulthood. Walnut feeding studies have observed minimal effect on body weight despite potential additional energy intake. Several mechanisms may explain why consuming nuts promotes weight control, including increased early phase satiety, possibly reflected in postprandial response of gastrointestinal and pancr...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of the intake of whole walnuts and walnut fractions on the oxidant status in mice. METHODS Thirty-six C57BL/6J male mice were randomized to be fed one of three diets: 1) a standard diet (control group), 2) a standard diet with 10% of whole walnuts (walnut-diet group), or 3) a standard diet with 2% of walnut skins (walnut-skin-diet group) for 8 wk. The plasma a...

C first walnut trees and orchards were planted during the Spanish mission period (around 1800), using seedlings of early varieties of Persian or English walnut (Juglans regia) chosen for their superior growth and nut quality. Since the 1890s, walnut trees in California have been propagated by grafting or budding desired cultivars onto rootstocks chosen for their adaptation to different physical...

SCOPE English walnut (Juglans regia) belongs to the most important allergenic tree nuts. Co-sensitization with birch (Betula verrucosa) pollen has been reported. We aimed to identify a walnut allergen homologous to the major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1. METHODS AND RESULTS A cDNA encoding a Bet v 1-homologous allergen (Jug r 5) in walnut kernels was cloned by RT-PCR. Jug r 5 was expressed i...

A study to mea~ure the effect of walnut scale infestation on English walnut qualityand yield has shown no differences in yield and no consistentdifferencein kernel quality between infested and non-infested trees for the four years ~f the study. Yield and quality of English walnut are not overly sensitive to walnut scale infestation and some degree of infestation can be tolerated with no measura...

In order to investigate the shucking technology and design the efficient Sheller, it’s highly significant to study on the mechanical characteristics of walnut. The Pro/E software and finite element method was adopted to build the geometry and finite element model of walnut. Afterwards, the walnut stress distribution with different loads was analyzed to seek the optimum force-applying forms whic...

The distribution and survival of trees during the last glacial maximum (LGM) has been of interest to paleoecologists, biogeographers, and geneticists. Ecological niche models that associate species occurrence and abundance with climatic variables are widely used to gain ecological and evolutionary insights and to predict species distributions over space and time. The present study deals with th...
