How does water stress and roasting temperature affect the physicochemical parameters of almonds?

Regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) is a useful strategy to reduce the water consumption maintaining fruit quality. The almonds cultivated under RDI conditions are called hydroSOStainable because produced environmentally friendly and present an improved It was demonstrated that almond cultivar agronomical practices, can affect kernel chemical composition consequently parameters for roasting process of almonds. influence three temperatures (150 °C, 170 °C 190 °C) on quality belonging 2 treatments (T1: control T2: almonds) evaluated. For this, moisture, activity (aw), organic acids, sugars, antioxidant (AA), total phenolic content (TPC) fatty acids were measured. Results showed moisture content, aw, AA (ABTS•+ DPPH•), polyunsaturated (PUFAs) reduced with most severe treatment. While citric, isobutyric, maltoheptaose maltotriose increased. HydroSOStainable had significantly higher AA, TPC, PUFAs than almonds; this tendency at but not °C. Consequently, during 10 min recommended
