Pistachio is one of the most important horticultural products of Iran with special economic importance. In average 70% of Iran pistachio are exported. Aflatoxin is secondary metabolites of fungus such as Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. If favorite condition is prepared for stabilization of fungi spores producing Aflatoxin, the first pistachio contamination to Aflatoxin occurs in orchard....

in the present study, competitiveness of iranian pistachio exports and competitor countries in  the world market are studied. pistachio export advantage using indices of revealed comparative advantage (rca) approach and vector error correction model(vecm) based on  agricultural and non-petroleum export commodity basket were investigated separately. the results showed that iran has a comparative...

The genetic diversity of a large number of pistachio genotypes grown in Iran is not exactly known. Most of the studies on genetic diversity of Iranian pistachio varieties are based on morphological characteristics or isozyme markers. In the present study, the genetic diversity of selected pistachio cultivars along with some wild species were evaluated by Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (...

background: the pistachio is a nut produced by about 20 species of shrub. present-day studies show the health benefits of pistachio in preventing or treating diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases (cvds), cancer, multiple sclerosis (ms), and erectile dysfunction. materials and methods: medline / pubmed, and google scholar databases were searched using the keywords of pistacia vera, ...

Consumers' awareness about the nutritional profile of their diets has made the industry to respond their needs seriously. In this study, response surface methodology was used to analyze the effect of three fat replacers and two sweeteners on sensory attributes and viscosity of low- calorie pistachio butter. Balangu seed extract (BSG) (0.01-0.04), Reihan seed gum (RSG) (0.01-0.023), xanthan (0.0...

Olive agro-ecosystems in southern Italy have been heavily damaged due to Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca (Xfp). Replacing the Xfp-infected olive-growing areas with economically viable fruit tree species is thought be a practical control measure. A land suitability analysis can provide an appropriate evaluation of crop’s these areas. We evaluate almond (Prunus dulcis B.), fig (Ficus carica L.), ...

Over time, special attention has been paid to it study SOC reserves worldwide; however, reduced given assessing spatial patterns stock (SOCS) semi-desert ecosystems. In this line, there are no conclusive studies drylands Africa affected by aeolian processes (semi-desert ...
