Honey is a natural product with many attributes that are useful for humans. The consumption of honey is increasing because of its beneficial biological properties, including antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Even though honey is produced worldwide, many variants of this product have not been studied and their biological potential for alternative uses has not been evaluated. Because of i...

Nonspecific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) are basic proteins, stabilized by four disulfide bonds, and are expressed throughout the plant kingdom. These proteins are also known as important allergens in fruits and tree nuts. In this study, the nsLTP from hazelnuts, Cor a 8, was purified and its crystal structure determined. The protein is stable at low pH and refolds after thermal denaturatio...

Characteristics of sugar snap and chocolate chip cookies, and hazelnut biscuits made from refrigerated and frozen dough were studied. Doughs were stored at 4 °C for 6 weeks and at –18 °C for 6 months, respectively. Physical characteristics of the biscuit samples such as spread, baking loss, surface colour and density were determined. Dough colour was not affected by storage time and temperature...

Pyrolysis essentially is the thermal decomposition of organic matter under inert atmospheric conditions or in a limited supply of air, leading to the release of volatiles and formation of char. Modeling of pyrolysis implies the representation of the chemical and physical phenomena in a mathematical form. In this study, Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm is applied and global optimum set of k...

The effect of some natural wastes (orange pomace, orange peel, lemon pomace, lemon peel, apple pomace, pear peel, banana peel, melon peel and hazelnut shell) on the production of xylanase from Trichoderma harzianum 1073 D3 has been studied and maximum activity has been observed on melon peel (26.5 U/mg of protein) followed by apple pomace and hazelnut shell. Also, molasses could be used as an a...

In this paper the benefits of using highly integrated millimeter-wave FMCW radar systems for industrial and security imaging applications are discussed. A 240 GHz wideband transceiver MMIC with on-chip antennas is presented and first non destructive testing measurements of packed hazelnut chocolate are shown. The radar system covers the frequency band from 204GHz to 265GHz.

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, Mazand...

Abstract Certain species of acorn- and nut-feeding weevils, Curculio spp. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), have become significant insect pests cultivated hazelnuts (Corylus spp.) (Fagales: Betulaceae) worldwide. The significance weevils that feed on injure is increasing as countries such the United States China continue to develop hybrids hazel plants increase their hazelnut production. This revie...

Hazelnut providing the macro-and micronutrients is a constituent of healthy diet. Hazelnut, one most consumed treenut, produced in different countries. The geographical origin influences chemical composition and biological activity several plant foods. purpose this study to evaluate composition, antioxidative capacity total phenolic content hazelnut kernels obtained from countries, including Az...
