In the present work, we have investigated the sorption efficiency of the treated activated carbon from walnut shell(ACW) towards Direct Red 81 (DR81) and Direct Blue 71 (DB71) for the removal from aqueous solution. Thesorption study of ACW at the solid-liquid interface was investigated using kinetic, sorption isotherms, pH effectand amount of adsorbent. Experimental data were analyzed by Langmu...

The objective of the present study was to examine some physical and chemical shell kernel attributes promising walnut types selected from Bingol province in Turkey. possesses a rich population almost all which are seedling-grown. Shell cracking resistance, firmness, percentage, pellicle cotyledon color, total oil ratio, phenol content, antioxidant capacity as DPPH were analyzed evaluated. resis...

This rooting study was set up to compare Paradox walnut softwood cuttings from trees which had been: a) propagated through tissue culture, and b) from conventionally grown trees (seedlings). A number of studies on rooting of both hardwood and softwood cuttings of walnut trees have been made by various workers. Although it was reported by Lee, et. al. (1) and others that 100%rooting was obtained...

In the present study, a highly sensitive and simple high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for simultaneous determination of three unsaturated fatty acids, αlinolenic acid, linoleic acid and oleic acid in walnut oil. Unsaturated fatty acids were quantified through HPLC using a reversephase C8 column and UV detector. Besides, the antioxidant activity of walnut...

Aspects of the susceptibility of English walnu~ to infection by Xanthomonas campestris pv. juglandis, the bacterium which causes walnut blight, were investigated. Leaves of 15 mature English walnut trees were inoculated with the bacterium which causes walnut blight, and after 35 days each cultivar was rated for infection severity. During the following dormant season, the buds associated with th...

Studies consistently show the beneficial effects of eating nuts, but as high-energy foods, their regular consumption may lead to weight gain. We tested if daily consumption of walnuts (approximately 12 % energy intake) for 6 months would modify body weight and body composition in free-living subjects. Ninety participants in a 12-month randomized cross-over trial were instructed to eat an allott...

Elevated or unnatural levels of arsenic (As) and phosphorus (P) concentrations in soils waterbodies from anthropogenic sources can present significant hazards for both natural ecosystems human food production. Effective, environmentally friendly, inexpensive materials, such as biochar, are needed to reduce mobility bioavailability As P. While biochar features several physicochemical properties ...

Persian walnut (Juglans regia L.) is one of the most economically important nut crops. In Kazakhstan, wild-growing population Juglans registered in south country and protected on territory Sairam-Ugam State National Natural Park. As a result expeditions 2018-2019 136 accessions were described according to descriptors International Plant Genetic Resources Institute, fruits 73 walnuts collected, ...

Common walnut (Juglans regia L) is an economically important species cultivated worldwide for its high-quality wood and nuts. It is generally accepted that after the last glaciation J. regia survived and grew in almost completely isolated stands in Asia, and that ancient humans dispersed walnuts across Asia and into new habitats via trade and cultural expansion. The history of walnut in Europe ...

Walnut consumption improves cardiovascular disease risk; however, to our knowledge, the contribution of individual walnut components has not been assessed. This study evaluated the acute consumption of whole walnuts (85 g), separated nut skins (5.6 g), de-fatted nutmeat (34 g), and nut oil (51 g) on postprandial lipemia, endothelial function, and oxidative stress. Cholesterol efflux (ex vivo) w...
