Phenolic compounds, especially those of plant origin, constitute an essential part of the human diet, and are of considerable interest due to their antioxidant properties. In this study, Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE), Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE), as well as Maceration Extraction (ME) methods were applied for phenolic compounds’ extraction from pistachio green hull. Response surfa...

BACKGROUND Nuts are one of the main consumed snacks worldwide and also have an important role among Iranian's food habits. Natural contamination of nuts with aflatoxin is unavoidable and causes a special challenge for nuts safety and quality. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this research was to study the aflatoxin contamination in commercially-available nuts (pistachio, walnut and peanut) in the ma...

Wild pistachio (Pistacia atlantica subsp. kurdica) is one of tree species that cover much of the forest in northwest of Iran and used in industries, medicine and as food. The present study describes callus induction of the P. atlantica subsp. kurdica using seedling stem explants and the influence of different plant growth regulators including kinetin, benzyladenine (BA), thidiazuron (TDZ), 6Ben...

ABSTRACT In a field trial in soil infested with Verticillium dahliae, we compared the yield, growth, incidence of symptoms of Verticillium wilt, and mortality of two interspecific hybrid pistachio tree rootstocks (UCBI and PGII) with the standard rootstocks: the V. dahliae-resistant and susceptible Pistacia integerrima and P. atlantica, respectively. After 10 years, the trees were destructively...

The carob moth, Ectomyelois ceratoniae (Zeller, 1839) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), is the most important pest of pomegranate in Iran. As it has been rarely recorded on other host plants, control methods have mostly been focused on its populations on pomegranate. In this study, shapes and sizes of wings were compared in populations on 4 host plants (pomegranate, fig, pistachio and walnut) using a l...

Today’s software systems communicate over the Internet using standard protocols that have been heavily scrutinized, providing some assurance of resistance to malicious attacks and general robustness. However, the software that implements those protocols may still contain mistakes, and an incorrect implementation could lead to vulnerabilities even in the most well-understood protocol. The goal o...

This report describes an infant who presented with a half shell of a pistachio nut adherent to the palatal mucosa. Initial clinical examination suggested the possibility of a palatal tumor. The case is presented so that others are made aware of this phenomemon and potential hazard. Insertion of foreign particulate matter and objects into the mouth is an everyday occurrence with infants and chil...

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact climatic variables (minimum temperature, maximum average precipitation, and precipitation deviation) on yields pistachio, banana, mango in cold, hot–arid, hot–humid, temperate–humid climates using Just–Pope function. function is a relatively new approach context. most effective were identified by stepwise regression Feiverson algorithm. Data c...

Aim of study: Genetic diversity pistachio, can be evaluated by using different descriptors, as adopted in international certification systems. Mainly the descriptors are morphological traits leaf, which represents an important organ for its sensibility to growth conditions during expansion phase. This study a rapid and quantitative non-hierarchic clustering classification (k-means), extract siz...
