Nutritive Value of Persian Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) Orchards
Authors
Abstract:
Hazelnut (Corylus avellna L.) is one of the important nut crops in world. The harvesting ofhazelnuts is done either by hand or by manual or mechanical raking of fallen nuts in Iran.Common hazel is widely cultivated for its nuts, including in commercial orchards in Europe,Turkey, and Iran. There are some genotypes of hazelnut in Iran that their growing areas arelimited to Gillan, Aredbil, Mazandaran, Golestan, Zanjan and Qazvin Provinces. Varieties,location, composition of soils, usage of fertilizer and irrigation affect the fatty acid, mineraland vitamin composition of hazelnuts, and consequently influence the nutritional value andquality of the product. Therefore, the objective of this study was evaluation of protein, crudefiber, and fatty acids in samples in Tarem and Rudsar County farmlands as two economicallyimportant provinces. Samples were collected during the harvest season in 2015 from 10 differentdistinguished cultivars of trees grown in a replicated trial in an experimental orchard. Thechemical and physical properties (crude protein, total fat, crude oil, crude fiber, ash, refractiveindex) were analyzed according to AOAC methods. In investigation on these two varieties,the highest fatty acid had oleic acid with 85.026% in Rudsar (Gillan) and 83.226% in Taremsamples. Evaluation of 420 hazelnut seedling samples reveals that Rudsar variety sampleshave more protein, ash and carbohydrate while crude fiber percentage in Tarem variety is more.The results of this research reveals that geographical conditions affect the nutritional value ofhazelnut significantly (p

full textHigh Quality RNA Isolation from Leaf, Shell, Root Tissues and Callus of Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)
Extraction of high quality RNA is a critical step in molecular genetics studies. Hazelnut is one of the most important nuts plants in the world. The presence of the taxol and other taxanes in hazelnut plant necessitates explaining their biosynthesis pathway and identifying the candidate genes. Therefore, an easy and practical method is necessary for RNA extraction from hazelnuts. Hazelnut has h...
full textThe Aspergillus flavus Susceptibility of Hazelnut Varieties (Corylus avellana L.) in Laboratory Conditions
Iran has suitable conditions for cultivating high-quality varieties of hazelnuts (Corylus avellana L.). Most of hazelnut orchards in Iran have been established by planting native genotypes. Aspergillus flavus Link. (AF) is a filamentous fungus affecting hazelnut kernels in orchards and during storage conditions. The most widely explored strategy for reducing aflatoxin contamin...
full textIdentification of microRNA elements from genomic data of European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) and its close relatives
Plant microRNAs (miRNAs) are small and non-coding endogenous RNAs which have numerous regulatory roles in cells. These critical players regulate pathways either by inducing translational repression or messenger RNA (mRNA) decay. Newly developed bioinformatics tools and computational methods have been increased to identify miRNAs with their targets inside the genome. In this study, we predicted ...
full textSome compositional and physical characteristics of some Turkish hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) variety fruits and their corresponding oils
Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is a popular tree nut worldwide, mainly distributed along the coasts of the Black Sea region of Turkey, southern Europe (Italy, Spain, Portugal, and France), and in some areas of the US (Oregon and Washington). Turkey is the world’s largest producer of hazelnuts, contributing ~74% to the total global production. In this study, compositional characteristics of eigh...
